Digging up someone's previous comment like that as ammunition in an argument breaks HN's civility rule. If you have a point, make it substantively. If you have a question about a previous comment, ask it politely. But doing this as an internet argument trope is offside, and doing it on the territory of someone's deepest life experiences is... low.

The two statements are not contradictory. Psychedelics helped a friend unbury himself from the cycle of opiates (and depression from a stage iv melanoma diagnosis) and kratom helped ease the withdrawals.

That's exactly the case for myself also.

What about it? We're talking about kratom here and attempting to derail the discussion with an unrelated opinion only shows a weakness of your own argument. For someone who talks about straw men I would think you should recognize your herrings.

Kratom allowed me to treat the symptoms of physical withdrawal and LSD cured the depression that followed. Do you have anything to add to this conversation?
