Kratom

A few years ago my Wife had an injury that's triggered a series of painful surgeries.
She manages her pain pretty well with her current meds plus the weed I grow; but we're always looking for something to help reduce opiate intake.

After researching Kratom for a while, I decided to try it & bought 100 grams of Red Vein Bali Kratom powder.
Here's what I've noticed so far. Other experiences, opinions and advice welcome.

Kratom tastes AWFUL. --- I have yet to figure out how to get the desired dosage (5-8g for me) without just "getting it down" however I can.
--- all recipes welcome!!
--- So far lemonade & kombucha mask the bitterness best, thinking capsules may be the solution...
Kratom works, shockingly well. I find that the above mentioned 5-8g mentioned above acts much like a vicodin or similar opiate.
--euphoria, pain relief, warmth, slight itchiness --- very similar.
--I have taken as much as 15g and found it difficult to get down, caused stomach upset, and wasn't THAT much stronger than the 5-8g range I've been taking.
From reading elsewhere, it seems that there is some risk of addiction, though not as much as opiates.

We're cautiously optimistic that my Wife will be able to use Kratom periodically as a "tolerance reducer" for her pain management schedule.
Kratos blows I hatted it.
