Curated Tumblr

Yeah it hits the opiate receptors, not directly though. It hits the kappa, and hits delta ones sideways. In effect it's like codeine, 1/10 morphine strength, but the half life is shorter, a couple of hours, and it is unpleasant after getting a certain amount. But it doesn't by itself hurt you or any organ system or do any damage to the body. In SE Asia where it's native, this relative of the coffee tree is used by locals that chew it's leaves.

It is rather pleasant but very mild, a poor substitute for opiates, but it will cure withdrawals, and you don't need a permission slip from a doctor to get it, or to buy overpriced medication like suboxone that without insurance can be super overpriced if you can't get on a discount deal of some kind I hear, I've never been on it. But also no medical record of being a junkie either.
