anyone ever experiemented with this herb?
-------------------- Annnnnnd I had a light saber and my friend was there and I said "you look like an indian" and he said "you look like satan" and he found a stick and a rock and he named the rock ooga booga and he named the stick Stick and we both thought that was pretty funny. We got eaten alive by mosquitos but didn't notice til the next day. I stepped on some glass while wading in the swamp and cut my foot open, didn't bother me til the next day either....yeah it was a good time, ended the night by buying some liquor for minors and drinking nips and going to he diner and eating chicken fingers, and then I went home and went to bed.

Yeah, Kratom is great. Do a search though.

Yeah a heavy dose will put you on the nod for sure.

In Malaysia it is ued for heroin withdrawel because it is less addicitng than heroin and opium. IT is highly illegal only in Thailand and seeds are hard to come by.

Yeah it does. I wouldn't be able to comment on the severity of them and such, but I'm sure someone else could. Mj would know I think.
I do have a question about Kratom though and cross over tolerance. Anyone know if say, I do opiates for a week right, then I stop ... then I do Kratom for a week, then stop... then I do opiates again, will i have a fresh tolerance to the opiates? I mean is it as if I'm doing an entirely different drug and taking a break from opiates or is not like that?

Yes, but you do know that it effects opiate receptors at high doses right?
Another question though.. about the darkening of the skin around the cheeks. How long, how consistent, and how high doses would make this more likely to occur?

Well, for instance, salvia's supposed to effect opiate receptors too... :P

Yes, there is a definite cross tolerance between opiates and kratom.
