This book is an account of my experience in using kratom. I’ve long been a sufferer of chronic pain and restless legs syndrome. I had reached the point where non-prescription methods of managing these conditions no longer worked, but was hesitant to use the strong prescription medicines available. I came upon kratom, a mild, legal opioid. After a good deal of research, I decided it was a promising option. This little book tells the story of my journey and its results.
