    Maybe im lucky but I took kratom for a while, never felt addicted or felt like I needed to take it.

    I only stopped because the day after taking it I would always feel agitated and I didn’t like that. It never lasted more than that one day so idk if that’s what they consider addictive…

      No friend. They consider the brains dependency on opioid receptors being flooded as addiction. It’s not simple agitation. It’s more puking, diarrhea, seizures, migraines, and the sweet knowledge that it’ll all end with one little pill.
