kratom/opiate cross addiction

[al888]

Greetings, im currently taking kratom once a week (after spending the last year addicited to it and using every day). At the moment i have a few pods in my possesion but im a bit worried about using them (once a week) incase it makes me crave kratom (or pods) again. I don't want to be a slave to any drug but to just use as a treat after a shitty week at work.
I have read on this forum that users can develope a "cross tolerance" between kratom and pods, but what i would like to know isif there is any risk of devleope a "cross addiction" between the two substances.
For example if i were to use kratom on one day during the week and then floral arrange on another day during the week, will i be at extra risk from addiction to either of these substances?
Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks in advance, Alex.

In theory cross tolerance is basically the same thing as cross addiction, so yes, you can develop an addiction even while alternating. It might be less likely than developing one if you were sticking to just pods but still, it could happen.
