Thoughts on this video?

I also am subscribed to this guy and really appreciate his harm reduction philosophy.

However, with this video...

It is known that amphetamines and Kratom don’t mix well. He keeps referring to Kratom as a “compound” which it is not. The fact that he claims that being a daily user is the path to complete de-motivation and what he described as major depression is false. Severe joint pain and lethargy? What?

I’ve been a daily user for quite some time. I’ve tapered, stopped, started and changed it up. I’ve not experienced any major side effects. Especially not “intra-dose withdrawals” or any of what he described.

This is not to say that it didn’t happen to him, however, I also don’t like how he shot down Kratom advocates (like myself) saying that the “addiction potential” is likened to that of coffee being horse shit.

Sorry, but if we are going on personal experience here, then that’s mine. I always say this, because for me it’s the case.

I also don’t appreciate his claims on that video being “objective” when it is clearly subjective in its very nature by basing solely on his experience.

It’s too bad that he thinks Kratom affected him in this way. Maybe it didn’t. Considering that he has 1 million subscribers someone (s) maybe convinced him to do this biased video. Hmmmm

I just don’t see where he’s coming from with his and it’s not the first time he’s made videos like this. But, considering how Kratom has really helped the majority for the better with responsible DAILY use, I find it hard to advocate his video.
