website Erowid.org [...] Using a language processing technique known
as latent semantic analysis, these drug reports were compared to
dream reports obtained from the website DreamJournal.net."

WIRED UK (Dec 2017)
"Erowid, the web 1.0 database favoured by psychonauts, is hard to
navigate and its creators have themselves said it was never really
intended as a harm reduction resource."
-
The FDA released case reports of deaths possibly related to kratom.
Some are poly-drug cases while others were reportedly kratom alone.
Many/most do not contain toxicological or autopsy findings.
-
Do not take high doses with high-dose opioids or high-dose alcohol,

"Although I don't get stoned, I wouldn't drive, or write a paper, or
do anything that required focus after smoking this. I'm just too
relaxed, and perhaps slightly dopey."
-
"I have the sensation of being confused by the inequality of our
perception. I am not experiencing a logic block or thought loop, but
the idea that our perceptions differ so greatly is difficult to wrap
my mind around."
