Over the years, people who espouse plant medicine have crossed my path, yet have not fully convinced me. Truly it is not a simple matter of a psychoactive plant being beneficial for humanity, as the state of the human plays a major role. I grew three crops of cannabis, and the third was the most bountiful, but by that time I'd lost interest in smoking, and the harvest was not used by me. Then, on a search for relief from back and sciatic pain, I learned of kratom. It was an effective pain reliever, and preferable in my eyes to chemical pharmaceuticals. Kratom showed no side effects on its own, but there was one strange incident when I'd taken kratom a few hours before, and then succumbed to a social smoke. It was an experience I choose not to repeat, and haven't smoked cannabis since. This morning, articles on the spiritual significance of kratom appeared in my messenger. That was new to me, and came just after I'd determined to stop using it. The authors sell kratom, so the writing may be biased. In any case, I question some of their conclusions. I am naturally drawn to the language of the second article, yet words are words, and nothing until lived. For any who are considering such things, and as an plant-based pain reliever, I post this today. These are not affiliate links, and I am not compensated for them.

KRATOM FACTS NECTAR OF THE GODS KRATOM BOTANICAL GUIDES: 'Every single chemical in the plant plays a role in these religious experiences described throughout history. Polyphenols for example, have been shown in vitro to show major potential in anti-aging and neuroprotective activities.[3] Many people believe that DMT is the spirit molecule, and sense that since it exists in our minds, the premise is that our mind is the portal to our spiritual self. Because of this, the fact that Kratom may play a role in actually protecting the human mind seems further evidence that it has some sort of divine purpose. Maybe one day the mainstream perception of such substances in the west will change. Maybe we will begin to value plants and see them more than just medicine or drugs, and more as a form of internal church that we can visit any time we wish and use to grow and evolve.'

WE ARE THE MEDICINE! - Matthew McHolland COMMENTS RMaya Briel An interesting read and I am left feeling into my" right relationship" with the plant world and more. Feeling like guardianship has some separation-arrogance energies and the more honest for me, to be in co-relationship with all living beings and to be conscious with even my own unconscious aspects..... Gary Smith Thank you. There are many perspectives on it, and I keep coming back to, each person has their own journey, nothing right or wrong. I appreciate your sense of it. Alex Piña You can attain all that spiritual BABBLE WITHOUT KRATOM ... Marlee Bisbey Alex Piña - and you can attain Kratom without all that spiritual babble. Jessica Taylor I've taken kratom every day for the past two years and it has exponentially changed my life for the better. I seldom, if ever... Use any man made medicines for anything. I'll only take antibiotics if absolutely needed. Normally I stick to all natural remedies for things. I use colloidal silver, elderberry syrup and oregano oil, which alleviates most ailments naturally. Zachary Lyons I know a lot about kratom. Seen documentaries, done a good bit myself and had a friend who was dying from it. He was losing hair and got digestive issues. There's nothing spiritual about it. Its basically a Percocet and not much better than opiates. It triggers the same receptors but people try to justify that its not an opiate. I've done white, green and red. Mood lifting, with a bit of energy while being dehydrated and sick to the stomach... Percocet. Gary Smith Didn't know what Percocet is, so looked it up, and add it here for other readers. I was more than halfway convinced to stop using kratom for pain relief, and your comment helped. May I add it to the Whole Human post? Oxycodone / Paracetamol Brand name: Percocet Overview Description: Narcotic It can treat moderate to moderately severe pain. Controlled substance High risk for addiction and dependence. Can cause respiratory distress and death when taken in high doses or when combined with other substances, especially alcohol.
