Hi everyone. A little about me: I have been using kratom for about seven years now, and I have plenty of stories (more later). In my free time I play tennis and write poetry. I work in the medical industry, am blessed with a good job, and otherwise am pretty boring  :P. Not sure what else to say. If you have any questions, let em rip. dfo

Considering that you are there too, I'm sure you can appreciate my use of the word "live" … I mean, do we not??? LMAO!!! I look forward to getting to know more about you  :P

I'm in pharmaceuticals–research and development, not pharmacy. So it's interesting, because all the scientific/medical talk of kratom and other substances, I kind of have a scientific background to understand it. I've never heard someone say it like that before, "living" in medicine, but I can see what you mean. It seems to fit.

It seems to fit. Now that is interesting, dFO, I very nearly went that direction myself after graduating with my Biochemistry degree, but then veered left & applied to the Medical Technology program at OHSU. My last 2 years in college as well as during & after finishing the MT program I spent in Neuroimmunology & Molecular Genetics research which I enjoyed greatly, even the repetitious nature of it which I actually found to be rather zen. The only downfall is that, sadly, unlike pharmaceutical R&D, scientific &/or medical research paid too little for me to both live & pay off my student loans. But that's ok, I still got to sport the white lab coat as an MT, LoL!!!
