Kratom is terrible for you. It binds to the exact same receptors as heroin and if you don't consistently enough, then stop,you will have the exact type of withdrawals as heroin. It also has a small amount of a chemical that binds to your serotonin receptors like something like MDMA would do so be careful if you take SSRIs as you may come down with serotonin syndrome… basically, Kratom is addictive and dangerous. Be careful and consume seldomly.
Here's a funny thing for you vegans yeast are living animals,
Eating sugar and farting CO2…
Kratom works on the same opiate receptors as opiates such as heroin, vicodin, and percocet.
Im a licensed substance abuse counselor, dont be fooled by those using Kratom as a crutch, they are addicted to it, tell them stop and watch the physical withdrawals from not having it. Its sad that even Nick, someone in recovery as seemingly attempting to sponsor other addicts, uses a substance that works on the Opiate receptors and calls himself clean.
Beyond meat should be banned .humans cannot process it so your getting no nutrition and you end up shitting out a pottery Pete brick 4 days later.. so I don’t know why there’s nutrition facts on the side of the pack
The and I had a kid drop was such a perfect joke. THUNE❤
Kinda lame episode, feels like Bert needs a coffee and a shot
Backdraft was a show at universal studios. That’s how I always remember the movie

I'm a 41 yr old white woman, and my mom hadn't seen a sober day in her life until I was 35. She was convinced I was the 19yr old black CNA that wheeled her to her room 6 days earlier. She drank all throughout her pregnancy with me, but switched to beer from whiskey, because it was "better for the baby". She's now 5 years sober.
38:51 i live blocks away from where it was filmed…ill never forget cuz my coworker that drove me to the 6am meetings always mentioned it
Damnit… such an amatuer vegan move using beyond meat. Everyone knows you go with Impossible Meat
delerium tremens is the craziest thing ive ever went through in my life. Going on 4 years sober now, its possible people, there is more to life than that poison
Bert you are the worst comedian and so is segura and joe Rogen. . You guys suck!
My brother died from fentynal tainted Kratom.
Test it everytime
Lucky is the most dog shit of a "comedy special."
I have that Southern Culture on the Skids shirt! I was staring at it wondering why it looked so familiar! 😅
