Was your roommate using the liquid shots? I feel like you've gotten some bad information regarding what kratom is and isn't. I assume you've never tried it. Is that correct?

It's pretty bold of you to assume I have no idea what I'm talking about because I haven't done kratom, and then implying I'm misinformed when I specifically said that anyone interested should do a deep dive on their own and not off random Lemmy comments.

I hate doing calls to authority, but 1) it was several classmates, not my roommate (?), and 2) I'm a former biochemist who specifically has worked on drug and substance interactions within different genetic populations, and I have seen firsthand the opiate-like withdrawal symptoms that AuDHD study participants have gone through at even lower dosages of kratom due to a variety of factors such as body weight, diet, genetic makeup, alcohol use, and being on the spectrum.

Like I said previously, it's great that it works for you and your friend, but you cannot blanket guarantee it'll be the same outcome for everyone else, especially if we're accounting for the variance than can occur in AuDHD brain structures. This isn't shit you casually recommend like a brand of multivitamins.
