Semi-related: I turned off spellcheck and autocorrect for a month to see what happens. Turns out I’m more dependant on it than I realized.

34·2 days agoDon’t care. Please read my reply the the other person. I rather risk brain, liver, and skin damage than go homeless.

Thanks, but I’ll be alright. Already got all the luck I need from kratom. Like I said, it kicked my ass into gear and made me a functioning adult. Even if it’s as dangerous as some people claim, I’ll take that chance, because the alternative is homelessness. My parents are dead now, so if I quit, I will stop going into work and my girlfriend will break up with me. I have nobody else. Kratom is the one thing preventing that from happening.

34·11 hours agoWell I can’t tell you this much: Kratom saved my life, so I get a little bit offended when people try to talk shit about it when there are actual deadly drugs out there killing people, and many of them are legal.
Just like with every substance, it’s about moderation. Kratom can become addictive just like gambling can if you have the personality for it. If you treat it like a pharmaceutical and stay consistent with your dosage, you have nothing to worry about.
Now the reason why I say kratom saved my life is because it is the one substance I found that can actually make me a functioning adult who can contribute to society. I have AuHD and was a NEET until my 30s, being an absolute drain on my parents’ resources. I just could not hold down a job. I’d get sick of working after a month, and decide to stop coming in. My bosses would stress me out, I’d have a panic attack, and then just walk out the door, never to return. The doctors tried. I’ve been given all sorts of antidepressants, bipolar meds, stimulants, benzos…Nothing worked. Or in the case of stims like Adderall, they’d work the first few times and then I feel completely and utterly miserable for the rest of the month.
But then at the age of 31, someone introduced me to the Green Maeng Da strain at a family gathering and it changed my life forever. For the very first time in my life, I felt like a normie. I was able to smile and joke around with people, talk to strangers, and my anxiety was gone. Like completely. I never felt this way in my life!
Fast forward a decade: I am now able to not only hold down a job, I now have a paid off car, a house, beautiful girlfriend who I am going to marry one day. And it’s all thanks to kratom. It woke something up in me and I am eternally grateful to that family member who showed me that I don’t have to keep trying various medications that don’t work.
So needless to say, this is why the “fuck kratom” people offend me. I would have been an unemployed loser for the rest of my life if it weren’t for it. The crazy part is that it keeps consistently working, day after day. I don’t understand why I’m not building a tolerance to this stuff but I’m grateful it worked out that way. But again, maybe it’s because I treat it as a serious medication, and not just something to get high off of. You have to be consistent with your dosage.

24·2 days agoPrescription painkillers are worse by several orders of magnitude. There’s a reason why the DEA gave up on trying to ban kratom.

311·2 days agoEdit: Hate all you want, kratom saved my life and I am eternally grateful for it. Read my reply to the other person for the full story. Original post below:
So what if they’re addicted? It’s a (relatively) safe addiction.
If you have ADHD, depression, or chronic pain, kratom can be a lifesaver. It takes years to build a tolerance and unlike prescription opiates, there’s no respiratory depression, therefore no risk of overdose.
If you want to get mad about something, get mad at the pharmaceutical industry for pushing opiates upon people when there’s a much safer alternative.
The biggest risk of kratom is getting a dosage of heavy metals along with the powder, but if you buy from reputable vendors who lab test their product, it’s a non-issue.

I like my Z. I don’t drive it because it’s efficient (I have the Bolt EV for that), I drive it because it’s fun, which is something you “fuck cars” people don’t seem to get.
Regardless, corporations pollute way more in 5 seconds than my weekend car ever will over its entire lifetime. So get over yourself and let me have my fun.

Yes but a webcomic that is meant to be funny like this one should actually be so.
Whatever, humor is subjective anyway.

I don’t even know what it’s supposed to mean. For the past 30+ years, I’ve always pronounced in my head as “colon three”.

6·4 days agoEver been on a cruise ship before? It’s like that, except for just one person and their friends/family. The point isn’t to get to your destination quickly, the journey itself is half the fun. That’s why I always go with the biggest ship I can find with the most on-board amenities. And since everything is included in the upfront cost, it’s one of the cheaper vacations you can take.
(Also fuck billionaires and their yachts.)
No, I hate Nazis and Fascists and I agree.
I like the message, but the comic isn’t funny. She’s a talented artist, however. I give her that.
I would but I haven’t seen a gas station that lets you pump before paying in 30 years. They’ve all been post-pay since forever.
