1. novelty, why not?

2. early 20s

3. de minimis. $12-20 total for dozens of doses of kratom, shipped usps.

4. internet sellers.

5. define "stop?" i continue to use them irregularly. opioids have a very nasty side effect of bad constipation (silver lining: it's a strong encouragement to eat lots of vegetables), so it's not really something you can just use every day. at least for me, that kind of makes use self-limiting.

also, opioids just aren't that great. they're very effective at killing pain, but if you aren't in pain, you don't notice that. beyond that, the high is imo really subtle and easy to forget about. in contrast, with weed, alcohol, lsd, shrooms, mdma, adderall, whatever, you know you're high during the experience.
