I learned about kratom a couple weeks ago when a patient with schizophrenia smoked it and went into a wild psychotic state

Krater can't really be smoked so I think maybe it was the schizophrenia rather than the evil drug that caused the psychotic state. i'm not a doctor tho.

The trick is to get one cheap from a failed startup. A guy near me sells Aerons for $150 and Leaps for $300, I went with the aeron

Someone tell me what the deal is with kratom, is it even worth trying? I'm interested in it as well as Kava, but I know gently caress all about both.

From reading erowid it doesn't sound worth trying for recreational use and can be addictive. Since I have access to free weed I don't see the point of kratom.

In all fairness, it came off of a really big and nice yacht, so she was likely an "escort." So that's not nearly as bad.

OK this new info moves the percentage up to 125%. But yeah you are right we should respect them and refer to them as escorts.

It's just like that 'spice' stuff they outlawed a few years ago. That stuff smelled awful and gave you a short lovely high but people were obsessed because it was legal.

Depending on the variety/amount you take it's a mild stimulant or a mild downer. If you like drugs and such it can be interesting and it's not something you're going to get addicted to unless you really take a lot of it often. It shares absolutely nothing with weed and you wouldn't take kratom instead of weed. Saying I don't want kratom since I have free weed is like saying I don't want coffee since I have free rhum.

I tried it a few times while working outside in a manual kind of job last year and it was fun in that setting. I wouldn't pay for it, but I'd enjoy trying it again if I had friends that gave me some.

It's really nothing spectacular and it's not something you use to "get hosed up". I guess some people smoke? it or make super strong tea or mix it with other stuff to get hosed up, but that's pretty much idiotic. If you take it normally (eat it) it's super mild.

I literally smoked myself into a paranoid anxiety that lasted more than just the length of the high (if you can even call it that) because of it. I cannot recommend this at all. Sobriety is a much, much, better alternative.

Xt brakes, xt 11 speed if it comes out early enough, if not I'll do something temporary. A reverb post, carbon bars and some 2nd hand wheels for the minute. It'll be way better than I am, I've had the last 2 years off the bike due to ill health and this is my reward to myself for not dying.

It'll be a rad tool to get fit again with.

Old LCD watches in general have a steady niche market. Though the ones that go for real money are the 70's LED watches, or LCD watches by Seiko and Omega.
