I’ve been using kratom for 7 years for pain there are no side effects and it’s keeps me from having to take pharmaceuticals that have a bunch of negative side effects. My wife also uses it for the same reason. We are are 54 and 65 years old and take no medication only kratom for our pains and also helps with social anxiety. I’ve known no one who uses it has any side effects. We don’t want to have to take pharmaceutical drugs with many side effects.
