I know people have used it for pain but I’m writing from a different perspective. CBD works much better and it’s much more natural in my humble opinion and there’s no addiction issues. My son got addicted to cratom and it was very hard so I don’t ever recommend it for anybody!

I know a lot of people swear by it but it seems to be an addictive substance and it didn’t do much for my pain so I don’t recommend. I think it may be good for harm reduction, if trying to come off opiates, etc. It just made me feel kind of spaced out and jittery.

Because that is what it’s used for, and when I got carbs out of my diet and just eat like one piece of toast with my egg in the morning first thing before coffee and I use potatoes and sweet potatoes for my carbs they are easier to digest and they are better on your gut. Plus you’ll drop some weight! So if I have a salad I might have a little bit of potato I bake them up ahead of time sweet and regular so that I can heat up quick or fry them in coconut oil or avocado oil. Sometimes I’ll have a little bit of a fried potato with my egg
