You dont really get "high" with kratom.. kratom is more of a background feeling that you start to feel after 30min or so. It kills the pain very well ,makes you a bit dull,but also u start to have a bit more energy and gives that boost in euphoria and drive to do something. Thats why its so addictive because you notice after a while that you have to take kratom before any task that requires at least a bit of effort, or not even effort,just going for a nice walk is nicer on kratom for example...
