How have you placed two in the same category????
The reason THC should be generally legal is because evidence shows it generally has minimal harm and other significant benefits. Kratom needs more research and is best used if all in a clinical setting.
I haven't done Kratom for 2 years now, but I'm on Concerta now which helps a bit as well.
I'm using Concerta, because I got into legal trouble due to Kratom usage... Despite just trying to handle my work and life - being a corporate drone, I was almost deemed a criminal.
Not only is it an opioid, but it has SSRI-like effects [1][2][3] (similar to tramadol). If you get addicted to it (like I did) for years, you could have protracted withdrawals resembling SSRI post-acute withdrawal syndrome. The actual opioid withdrawals were a walk in the park (lasting only two weeks for me), but I spent 6 months unable to function with extreme, extreme anhedonia. I just watched TV on the couch for 6 months, feeling nothing.
