Since information can become misconstrued and misrepresented online and especially in the many media outlets online and offline, a decentralized and permanent location for information, such as on the blockchain and in particular the Steemit blockchain would be the perfect place to establish the facts, permanently and without censorship. Thus the reason for this post on Steemit.
Yes, we have many places online where one can find testimonials and comments in regards to Mitragyna Speciosa aka Kratom but all of the places I know of are managed and controlled by a central authority and therefore have the potential of being changed or lost for that matter.
But not on the blockchain where the information is dispersed and protected by the nodes that keep a copy of the distributed ledger.
So this is what I would like to see, individuals and organizations of and proponents of kratom both those who use it and those who are friends and families of those who use kratom post their testimonials here and timestamp the truth.
Let's permanently register on the Steemit blockchain, the truth of this wonderful plant and expose the lies of the media and federal agencies who have chosen to misrepresent what this plant is, does and has done.
And if you are new to Steemit, send me a message and I'll help you the best I can.
Kratom on!
I started using Kratom back in 2016. I have a severe form of Fibromyalgia called Polymyalgia. I have intense chronic pain throughout my body. The Polymyalgia also causes digestive issues and the inability to sleep. I also metabolize prescription medicine differently, so I get severe side effects from prescription medicine without any positive effects. Once I started using Kratom, my Polymyalgia was relieved, I am able to sleep, and my digestive issues were relieved as well. Kratom gave me my life back.

In 2004 I stumbled across Kratom while doing a Google search for natural products that could help me get off my lazy butt and get some boring and laborious things done. What I discovered was this plant in Southeast Asia that purportedly helped workers in the field doing monotonous work for many hours and were able to stay focused. Coffee would give me a lift but it only lasted for an hour and I never really got much done but once I tried Kratom I thought I found the holy grail as it gave me a focused energy that I had not experience ever in my life nor have I to date. It not only gave me an energy boost but it also relaxed me at the same time and helped me focus on many hours of labor that I just couldn't seem to find the energy OR focus to do. I've been using it pretty much off and on since then and during the times that I decided I didn't really want it or need it, I just quit. This isn't to say there were no withdrawals because there were but they weren't as uncomfortable as withdrawing from caffeine which I had done quite a few times in my life as a Barista. I experience some lethargy, a runny nose and a slight body ache for 24 hours but after 24 hours I was just fine. It reminded me of the onset of a cold but that was as far as it got. For me, it's been great when I needed to get things done that required focus and energy but I also found that it helped me with my social anxiety as well. When I'd go out with friends, even alcohol couldn't pull me out of my shell and get me to socialize with others but my first time with Kratom out and about with friends I found myself interacting more and enjoying some great conversations. To me, this plant has been a God send and I say shame on those who want to demonize this plant and misrepresent it.

I found out about Kratom through one of my best friends who was currently studying Botany, to be honest, he was looking for a legal way to get "High", But ended up discovering something much greater than just another "fix" that would help him pass his monthly UA's over at the local Good-Will.
At first I was very skeptical, I had heard about kratom before (very vaguely, didnt pay much attention when nit was brought up), I figured because of the fact that it was legal, it must not work very well, or it was just another hoodoo holistic plant ment to trigger a placebo in depressed people or something. But after my friend (whos testimony regarding kratom I always took with a grain of salt) had informed me it can be purchased online for less than $30 for a good months supply, I figured if it didnt work it wasn't a big deal, whats $30 after all? So I went online and purchased just 1 bag of Red Bali (See sources below). It shipped from within the US so it only took about 3 days t arrive. I spent those three days learning about the plant on youtube, and doing different kinds of research to determine the effects of all the different strains and colors (and believe me threes a lot of em!).
Finally it arrived in the mail! I was actually pretty excited as all the research I had done led me to believe there is something special about this underestimated plant.
I Poured the contents into glass mason jar, labeled the jar and weighed out my first dose. I used a teaspoon to measure out 7 grams. Down the hatch! It tastes very potent, like crushed leaves mixed with green tea powder, not good at all! I suggest taking it with Orange Juice or making into a tea to avoid gagging.
But after waiting or about 15 minutes I started to feel very zen, I was in a state of pure relaxation akin to having just received a wonderful full body massage. I put some frankincense on the charcoal burner to really set the mood, curled up with a good book, and fell into a state of nirvana.I wasn't "high" but my anxiety had melted away. Normally there is a slow murmur of paranoia involving my professional life in the background noise of my thoughts, but no longer. I just felt at ease, there was no need to worry anymore. I fell asleep after reading some 30 odd pages of "The three pillars of zen"
, and awoke later that evening feeling very well rested. There was no after glow, but there was also no withdraw of any kind, no appetite stimulation. Just back to basics.
Ever since that first 7 grams of red bali I have used kratom everyday for the past year, and am trying to become a distributor for the farmers over in Indonesia. Kratom has helped me get over the constant fear of being fired from my typical 9-5 mon-fri job, as well as helped me become more social with my co-workers and our customers. It has vastly improved my happiness as I now feel I have a my drive and motivation back in my life. Kratom has truly been a miracle plant for me and I really hope this article encourages you to at least do a little bit of research on this plant, it can truly change your life, especially if you suffer from chronic pain.
