Kratom bad for you?

I have lupus and constantly tired with stiff joints. Guy at work told me to try kratom and have been using it for about a week. I feel a lot better and able to get much more done at work it is unbelievable how much better I feel. What are your thoughts on kratom and is it a good idea to take this long term. Thanks guys

Kratom is generally whatever crap you can find sprayed with whatever chemicals you have on hand. It's unregulated and has been known to be mixed with fentanyl, an absolutely deadly drug.

We just had an emergency situation in which somebody using kratom woke up his bunkmate by trying to choke him to death. It causes paranoia, hallucinations and violent Behavior at certain levels or after certain use Windows. It is poison, straight toxin and has absolutely no positive benefit to the human body.

If you have stiff joints or fatigue, stand up and walk at least once an hour. Stretch. Find a mindful meditation exercise. Why would you fight ill in your body with poison?
