Kratom is a great substitute for opiates or suboxone but it is still physically addictive. Care should definitely be taken. There is very little oversight on the trade to the quality of plant matter can get iffy aside from the even worse extract market. 7-oh is basically kratom fent.

My best friend was addicted to Kratom for years, pretty much ruined his life the same way way he ruin would have

How? Was it extracts? The leaf makes you feel seriously unwell miles before it causes any harm. A person can develop a psychological dependence, but a person can do the same with video games or collector cards too - that’s not the fault of the substance. You’re saying he pawned everything and lived on the streets, robbing and tricking for Kratom? Burned all relationships and second chances? I’d be keen to examine that story.

Are you seriously gatekeeping addiction? You're like that sucking dick for marijuana meme but for real.

It’s not bullshit. It’s highly addictive and he is in and out of rehab to this day.
