My brother says sometimes he can't walk without this "supplement" due to gout and other curses. From wiki: Mitragyna speciosa Korth., is a tropical evergreen tree in the coffee family native to Southeast Asia in the Indochina and Malaysia phytochoria.

Kratom is made from the powder from the leaves of the tree. It is sold in smoke shops in capsule form for about $10/pill and in powder form online for much cheaper/dose. The DEA had a notice out that they were going to make it controlled but the Kratom community organized and the DEA backed off this month so it is still legal in about 43 states, including Texas. It is illegal in countries of origin in SE Asia.
I did some reading and there are many many people who take it to manage chronic pain rather than take prescription opiates and some people take it for the high and others to wean themselves from heroin.
Anyone have any experience with this? I used it once over the weekend for headache and jaw pain (bruxism) and it did give me a buzz and also helped with pain but I didn't sleep very good. I'm not normally adventurous with drugs of any kind.
