Recreational drug kratom hits the same brain receptors as strong opioids

I know a couple of people who were fairly long-term opioid users who shifted over to kratom successfully and who are now worried that their method of diversion might be denied them.

I’ve done it a couple of times and the stuff works ok, but it tasted so horrid (it must have a ph like a million) and made me fairly nauseated. I don’t know if I could do enough to make it worthwhile as a recreational drug considering I live in a city on the West Coast. I can get real opioids pretty easily for around the same money as kratom.
