Hey Jeff, sorry to hear about your pain. I don't know how the kratom plant translates to doses of conventional pain medication but yes, it is reported to be a pain killer with a similar mechanism of action as other opioids. May I ask what State you live in? Kratom is perfectly legal in most states but there are some states / counties that have outlawed it. Still one of those gray areas and research should be conducted by anyone who is considering it for pain management or withdrawals. Hope this helps!

What strains do you find most effective? Do use powder or capsules? What is your source of supply?
@Johnny,
I've been taking kratom on and off for the better part of a year now and find that Bali (red vein) and Maeng Da (green vein) are both very effective for pain relief and an overall sense of well-being.
The red veins are more sedating and the green ones are more stimulating (not overbearing like coffee, but more of an even keeled type of endurance)
I use powder and make a tea (w/ raw honey) to make it more pallatable. But I've also had success using '00' veggie caps (a serving for myself takes about 6-10 caps or 1-1.5 teaspoons)
Kwik Botanicals has been my favorite source of supply. But I also like kratomone and have heard of other good vendors as well.
Hope this helps!
Can you tell me where these products can be purchased like the Bali and Maeng Da as I'm interested! I have a lot of pain daily and don't know the cause and some days I can barely walk! I'd appreciate all information!!
Kratom is a medicinal herb that has various uses like pain relief, boosts energy, improves metabolism, regulates insulin and sugar in the blood. Kratom's pain relieving effect, or its analgesic properties are probably its most known benefit and the main reason why people are using it. These alkaloids act on your body's opioid receptors, thereby repressing pain sensitivity. Alkaloids also help your body release its natural endorphins, which in turn reduces the feeling of pain.
