Why do people do kratom? From listening to podcasters who do kratom, the only thing I know about it is that it's a drug and that it tastes like poo poo. Is there some uniquely wonderful high you can only get from Kratom, The Drug That Tastes Like poo poo?

Kratom is an opioid that is legal (in some/most states; it's actually illegal in TN where I live now) and cheap. So the appeal is kind of straight-forward. It's also safer than other opioids because there's a cap on its effects (anything beyond a certain dose just makes you feel kind of nauseous and bad, so you can't overdose on it). It's still absolutely addictive, though. I think it should be legal, because it's immensely useful for trying to get off stronger opiates, but I would never recommend that someone inexperienced in opiates use it.

Reactions to kratom are mixed largely because, from my understanding, most kratom sold in headshops (or in brick&mortar shops period) is garbage that might not even actually be kratom.

It�s also an especially effective OTC painkiller. I�m not really a big drug guy anymore but when I had a tooth blow up in the middle of a weekend semi-recently even the lovely gas station kratom took the pain from �unbearable, excruciating� to �mildly unpleasant� until I could get proper treatment on the following Monday.

Decided to check up on 538 out of sheer morbid curiosity and Nate is openly snapping at and shutting down his female cohosts for not making GBS threads on student debt relief, reminding them that he is a University of Chicago trained economist

What's that? I haven't used kratom in like 8+ years. Google says it's some vendor, but not one I remember.

i tried listening to the 538 podcast but even with my cursory grasp of statistics i could tell it was just uninformed bs, i�m not sure that they actually understand how to interpret basic surveys tbh

Listened to it pretty regularly for a number of years and noticed the quality of discussion get worse and worse. Clare Malone was the only one willing to get to root causes of issues and would regularly get interrupted or ignored, and then was turfed. The more I learned about politics the more important issues I noticed their conversations doggedly avoiding.

This is the worst part about lib media in general. "Look how bad this is." Is there a root cause? We'll never know but isn't it terrible?

And the worse whatever it is they're talking about the more obvious both the root cause is, the more awkwardly the presenter avoids actually discussing it, and the less attention paid to any possible solution.

NPR was built on this formula.
