Ok, so i am a big kratom supporter, like i believe it helps a lot and would not be scared to suggest it to anyone who i thought it would help. But there is a guy who was interested in it, for family member that is struggling with a drug habit. But the person is addicted to an upper, (amph) and is trying to stop on theyre own, and is struggling i guess due to the withdrawal stages. I cannot remember what all the withdrawals of that drug consist of, but would kratom even help with them?
The only thing i could see kratom doing in that situation, is helping get they're motivation and energy back. And maybe just help them feel better during the stages of withdrawal where they will feel lazy, and depressed. So i wasnt sure what strains or amounts to suggest for this. The family member agreed to try it with them, even though they are not suffering from any problems really, just so they know what it does, and what its effects are. (which was really cool of them i thought)
So i gave them some of my kratom, i gave them 1 green 1 red and 1 white. I think i gave them Green Malay,White Horn, and some Red Thai. From 2 dif. vendors, but both are of good quality for sure. I take these strains myself and they work good for energy for me. I think thats mainly what they are hoping to find with kratom, is to getting they're energy and motivation back after stopping the stim use.
And for an amount i suggested starting at 2 grams. And maybe to increase it if no effects were felt. I will check back with them today to see if it helped, but was looking for suggestions on strains and amounts for someone who never used kratom before, and if anyone has used kratom in this situation before, and if so did it help? I have never heard of anyone using it to try to get back to normal after a stim dependency. Anyways i will keep u guys updated if it helped or not as they go along. They said they would give it a try but i dont really know how bad the guy wants to get straight or not. Hoping for the best for them :-bd

I have to agree with you on your statement. I heard about Kratom on a different kind of forum, and a member there, publicly asked other members for help and suggestions on how to quit a methadone treatment. Another member told them about Kratom, and what it does. So about a month later, I decided to start researching this Kratom, as I had a very extensive addiction to opiates, myself, had been for 5+ years, at that point, and I had finally got the motivation to quit, but knew the withdrawals all too well, and just didn't want to feel them. I kept it all a secret, kinda, I know my family had an idea of my problem.
Well I ordered my first batch of Kratom, and it had just so happened to arrive on my second day without my DOC (drug of choice), and in full blown withdrawal, when the Kratom arrived in the mail....down the hatch it went!
About 30mins later, I'm literally bawling, thanking God that I now knew I could beat my demons, with the help of this miracle leaf!!!!
I came out 2 days later with my addiction, to the ones it mattered to, explaining this new Kratom I had found out about.
I know I'm rambling right now, but I just wanted to agree with Bomalley, with you can try to tell ppl about Kratom, but it's only the ones that truly want help with whatever is plaguing them, that will seek out a safer alternative.

O, well i did not have high hopes for this to help him any, since it was his family member wanting him to try it, his family member had been the one to read about kratom and see this forum and thought it would help him. I am pretty sure the guy just wanted to get high, so kratom did not do much for him, and i believe he only tried it once or twice, and since he didnt get messed up, decided it was trash. lol cant help those that dont want to help themselves. But i figured the least i could do for a friend was give them some if if he wanted to try it.
This has been the case with any of my old friends that i have tried to help. When i am asked how i quit i tell them about kratom, and they all think u can get high from it, then when they try it and figure out its not really a replacement for a high, they are not interested. I think these people are just not ready to quit anyways, and when they are, like u guys said, they can do their own research and buy their own kratom lol.
I have only had one person i have told about kratom that it helped and they still use it. But he uses it for kidney stone pains and back pain, so he only uses it when he hurts, but he says it helps alot.
Thanks for the replies guys

You are so right about People that don't want to get Helped won't get Clean. The First thing you have to do is to admit you have an Addiction Problem then Second is to want to be Helped to get & stay Clean. It's a Life Long Struggle & Kratom is such a Powerful Tool in Living Clean & Sober. I am still worried about the Legality of Kratom in the Future. We all must Fight it Together.

Agreed. I have been sober long enough now that if kratom where banned I think I would still be ok. Buy kratom is what helped me to be able to where I am today.
Just a little over a year ago, I had nothing couldn't take care of myself, barely kept a job, and was high everyday.
Now I have a vehicle, am doing great at work, got my class a cdl permit, going to do the driving test in a couple weeks, and recently bought my own house. (Made the down payment still gotta make payments), my life has turned completely around, and for years I couldn't do this, until I found kratom. :-bd
My quality of life has greatly improved. I have wanted to get clean for a long time, but never could make it through the withdrawals, and being depressed all the time.

Hi there. When I first used Kratom it was because I was dealing with meth and opiate withdrawals. Yes it can help with those. I would suggest a strain that has good stimulating and calming properties. I would eithier recommend a green strain like Green Malay or Meang Da. I hope everything works for the best and please let any of us on here know if you have anymore question's or concerns. Have a great memorial weekend ,
NO PAIN,NO ANXIETY,YES KRATOM!
