I'll start - for me, it's a social lubricant, it works basically in the same way as alcohol, but with way fewer side effects and no hangover in the next day. My alcohol consumption reduced as a result.
For this to work, it's important to not consume every day, otherwise the desired "lubricant" effects basically disappear.
I know some folks use Kratom very differently for e.g. pain management, what's your story?
I discovered kratom while quitting an anti-depressant. I grew tired of side effects from chemicals and such. However, I knew I needed something to help with anxiety, mood. and depression. So, I searched for a replacement. A google search led me to K. It's an awesome plant! It has many great benefits.
