Hey!

I'm new to the forum and just wanted to say what's good and send positive vibrations to everyone in these strange times. I've been a daily user of kratom for almost 3 years now. I'm from Scranton, Pa which is in northeastern Pennsylvania about 2 hours north of Philadelphia. Kratom basically saved my life. I got jammed up when oxycontin hit my area around '99 and pretty much it's a typical story from there on. I've spent 5 out of 6 years in county jail from '03 to '09 and in October of '14 I went upstate and did a year in SCI-Pittsburgh LS5657 which was recently closed as it was deemed unfit for humans to be housed. It was closed prior to me getting there and then reopened (without any changes) before I got there, then closed for good about a year after I left. It wasn't fun... SO yeah basically I spent almost 20 years fighting a sever opiate addiction as eventually the oxy habit became a heroin habit as it normally does.When I came home in '15 I had 2 years of state parole to do so to my surprise my parole officer told me it would probably be a good idea to go on Suboxone while I was on parole with my past being what it was. So I stayed on the subs 'til I maxed out in Nov of '15. I started to get off suboxone the day I maxed out, cold turkey. That wasn't a great idea LOL... But in the midst of that nightmare I was introduced to a guy that ran a "botanical shop" aka a kratom bar. Luckily I was introduced to high quality kratom in powder form from the beginning. Kratom got me through the withdrawl from the subs which took about 3 weeks if not more. The dude was a good guy but the prices....I'm all for a profit but a 400% mark up is a bit much. Thankfully I was introduced to Discord and then began a year and a half of getting my leaf from Sosa and the Benni's after that so I didn't have to go through the hassle of buying shit leaf. With the help of kratom I've been of all meds or street drugs for a little over a year now. Well thx for reading this if you did and blessings to you all and your families in these strange times...
