In the dark bushes making the most agonized screams I've heard. I walked up and asked him if he was ok.

He told me "GET OUT OF HERE YOU FUCKING MORON, FUCKING IDIOT"

I said alright and left.

I guess he knows not to smoke whatever he smoked earlier anymore. Figured I'd just leave him to sober up where he prefers hiding. I mean, I could have stuck around, but I didn't think I could calm him down. I don't carry around Benzos.

An AOC VP would be great.

AOC = boomer wicked witch of the west

That's why I donated to her. She was pretty popular before Fox/MSNBC started smearing her, now everyone suddenly understands that she stands for banning cow farts. Still the largest Twitter following out of any of the Congressmen, which means in 30 years or so they'll all be AOC, and we won't be going bankrupt for medical issues or bombing random countries. Maybe if we're really lucky, the vast majority of politicians won't be sponsored by random companies.

Yellow

I remember panic attacks. A 2 week long bad drug trip, followed by a psychotic episode, during poly-substance withdrawal has left me pretty immune to them. (Turns out the worst thing you can do when you're fed up with your drugs is to quit them all immediately at the same time, unless you like the void, which is an interesting place at least)

Now if I feel one coming on I just think about how much I don't give a shit, because it's only going to last 20 seconds at most before your brain's natural calming mechanisms kick in. Then you feel pretty good. So it's kind of like taking a huge dump. I literally try to make myself more anxious when I feel one coming on just to get it out of the way. Just try to make it worse next time TC, the sense of control brings me back to reality pretty quickly. Worst case scenario you feel shitty for 30 seconds instead of 20.

I'm old so I'm constantly seeing evidence that time is racing by so much faster now than it ever did before, and soon I'll be dead.

I don't really have existential dread or anxiety from that knowledge, though. I just have a philosophical acceptance of the idea that we're all going to be dead a lot longer than we were ever alive.
The way I see it time should pass by infinitely quick when you're dead. Otherwise mathematically you would be dead 100% of the time.

If it's not listed here above lithium ion batteries, it's not as energy dense, which means it's an inferior battery. Lithium ion is the standard for a good reason. There's a good reason to be skeptical of anyone claiming their new battery is more energy dense than lithium ion, because there are many, and most (all) of them are bunk.

Well you found a couple, but your article does more to prove the safety.

Data on 27,338 overdose deaths that occurred during July 2016December 2017 were entered into SUDORS, and 152 (0.56%) of these decedents tested positive for kratom on postmortem toxicology (kratom-positive).


Kratom was determined to be a cause of death (i.e., kratom-involved) by a medical examiner or coroner for 91 (59.9%) of the 152 kratom-positive decedents, including seven for whom kratom was the only substance to test positive on postmortem toxicology, although the presence of additional substances cannot be ruled out (4).
A total of 7 people died with Kratom being the sole substance. All other reported deaths involved other drugs like alcohol or opioids.

Seven.

If youve never tried it, its probably best to stay away from it

If it helps some people get off of opiates then I suppose thats a good thing, but it seems like its way too unpredictable and dangerous for anyone to use regularly
They're as dangerous as vapes.

Aka they compete with painkillers and were not picked up by investors, so all these negative articles popped up when it started gaining traction in the states. There is nothing out there to signify them being dangerous other than a hit piece warning about unsafe levels of mercury. (Slightly above the legal limit from some sources)

You can get addicted if you try really hard, but they lose effectiveness very quickly if you take them every day.

This is good advice.

My terrible advice is that on kratom it's impossible not to have something to say.

Like, you'll be really confident and social for 4 hours and then you'll feel antisocial and depressed for the following 4. Basically how caffeine and alcohol treat your energy levels and anxiety. I usually sit my ass down and play a video game coming off of it, whereas with caffeine I sit down and hate every aspect of existing on this mortal plane for 4 hours.

I think everyone experiences caffeine withdrawal and attributes it to their own officially diagnosed anxiety+depression mental illness, when in reality they took a psychoactive stimulant without realizing it. /tangent
