The Low and Slow Framework
Start low, go slow
The Low and Slow Framework is a approach to using kratom or opioids that involves starting with a low dose and gradually increasing it as needed. This framework is based on the idea that it is better to start with a low dose and adjust as needed, rather than starting with a high dose and risking adverse effects. The framework also emphasizes the importance of being aware of the potential for tolerance and dependence, and taking steps to minimize these risks.
