Kratom is an opiate-like plant-based drug that gives users a boost of energy, but is addictive like actual opiates.

    As far as I know (and I very much could be wrong) "opiate like" isn't really a thing. Opiates are classified by their interactions with your body, not by the drug. So, if they're interacting with the opiate receptors, they're opiates.

    It more so helps with pain management, and calms the nerves. It does give a slight energy boost, though hardly noticeable. The affects are fairly minor, not producing much of a high with consistent usage.

    Will not cause death either.
