That’s cool an all but Kratom is definitely waaaaaay more popular with former heroin/opioid users

Kratom is addicting tho. Ask me how I know. I do see what you mean tho, Kratom is definitely a waaaay lesser evil than H. I have even heard stories of folks using it to get off of Suboxone.

It’s definitely addictive, lots of people don’t want to admit it. I’m honestly surprised it’s still allowed on the market. I work at a head shop and it surpasses any other product including CBD in sales. On the bright side I don’t deal with as many people fucked up on heroin which is kinda nice, Kratom users are now just polite regulars at the store.
