I've been taking kratom powder for 12 years. There might be a slight difference in the size of the grain but Kratom powder looks like Kratom powder. Same with the blends. Green. Some a little greener because it's a different blend but Kratom is green. Now this is the Kratom powder.. I never took extracts before but I had a pack with 10 in it. in case of an emergency. Well I did one and it hit me like a brick. . Each one. This was a wile ago. I told the person who I got them from that they were so good that to ordering me another 10 so I can keep them on hand. And I did I didn't take any of them except the other day I just wanted to make sure that they were the same because they came to slightly different package. Anyway to make a long story short it was nothing like the first one, at all. Is there something identifiable in different extract powders as opposed to regular Kratom power as I explained earlier . Thanks

Hi there!! Need help. I have chronic pain (inoperable). Surgeon says go to pain management. Trying to avoid that. Oxycodone did nothing for my back pain. I spoke with the guy at the vape store. He seemed very knowledgeable. I explained this is just for pain. I don’t want to be energized! He suggested a pill/capsule looking thing Gold which he said was a combination of red and green so should balance each other out. Bag of 50. Ingredients list many da tea. 2 capsules = 1.1 grams. How much should I take for pain. I took 2 about an hour ago and feel absolutely nothing either way. Suggestions please? I don’t know if I can mention brand names. I really need relief. Also don’t sleep well at night suggestions?? Please let me know if he steered me wrong or right. I truly appreciate any advice. Thank you!

If you're feeling really fatigued in the middle of the day and use kratom consistently, you're probably taking too much, or too frequently

With kratom less is more, everytime my doses aren't hitting well, when I'm getting tired mid day, and easily agitated, it's because I dosed too high

Virtually every time, if I back my dose down a bit it hits great again and I don't get the negative side effects

Kratom is weird, it encourages you to take less, try slowly backing your dosage down and notice the effects improve, it's counter intuitive but give it a try

That's all, have a great day guys 🫡

Hi all! Newer user here (<1 year). Prior to kratom, I was using cannabis as a crutch to my MDD issues. Cannabis was more addictive than I thought, and thru overuse, it now doesn’t provide any euphoria at all. Sad day.

Kratom is great for me, because it doesn’t alter my consciousness at all. It purely lifts my baseline mood to a better spot (I’m just pleasant, and happier. Not quite euphoric.) Kratom has been a bit of a miracle for me,,

#However,,

It doesn’t last long at all. I typically consume 3 pills to get the effects I need (consuming a ton more doesn’t actually intensify the experience for me; neither does it lengthen it), and while it feels great, it is such a fleeting ‘high.’ I know there are other methods of delivery, so could some of you with expertise educate me on the different methods (pills, oils, inhalant, chewing a raw ass leaf, etc), their differences in effect, and how long they would likely keep affecting me?

My goal isn’t to get “high” per se. I just need to lift myself out of my tar pits for longer than I have been getting with my pills.

((I know all about the strains; I use Green.))

Hi, I just wanted to ask, if methods of ingestions make Kratom behave differently.

If I make Kratom tea, boiling it for 20 minutes, will it be more potent?

Toss-and-Wash - do the effects come quicker, or stronger?

Kratom + warm water - is it lower potency?

Do even methods of ingestion matter?

I know this is a dumb question. I just wanna be sure and not ignorant.

Thank you!

That is all, have a wonderful day

Has anyone taken both of these together? Just curious on your guys experience

Hi yall! I just got Bali kratom powder, have never done kratom before. I'm wondering what a good starting dose would be! I read a previous post saying to start with 1/2 teaspoon, but I tend to have a naturally high "tolerance" with every drug I've tried. Wondering if I'd be able to take a full teaspoon (or another dose) my first time. If I start with the 1/2 teaspoon, how long should i wait to see it take effect to see if I need more? Sorry if this is a stupid question, just hoping to get the best (and safest) experience possible!

Has anyone else noticed that kratom is causing itchy butthole? It feels like someone spiked my Kratom with Beta Alanine. Such a weird experience, I’m assuming it’s caused by Kratom Because when I take a break it goes away.

I wasn't planning on quitting. I'm functional, meet all my responsibilities, am physically active, and the kratom helps me with some chronic injuries. But we're going on vacation in a little over a week, and I just found out that kratom is classified as a schedule 1 drug where we're going. I'm obviously not going to risk prison time over kratom, so I need to be done with it before the trip. Is that realistic? Ideally I don't want to be fighting withdrawal symptoms for our entire vacation (the first one we've taken in like a decade).

I just checked my order history and did some math and it seems to work out to around 20g per day, although I suspect it's closer to 12g per day on average with some heavier days. It's hard to say exactly because it's in capsules. I've taken it for years now. Probably 6 or 7 years. Is it going to be really bad? Am I fucked? Is this going to ruin our vacation?

I'm thinking that I can cut all my regular 3 pill doses tomorrow by 1, and then by 1 again the next day, then cruise on 1 for a day, then cut the frequency in half, and then half again, and then be done before the trip. Does that sound like a viable plan to anyone who has quit in a short amount of time? Any advice is welcome.

Edited to update the usage amount.

So a journalist in my country, Sweden, ran a documentary about kratom and why it wasn’t illegal in Sweden. This caused the governmental health department to start an investigation into the matter and around 2 months later they decided that kratom should indeed become illegal.

I’ve been taking kratom off and on for about 3 years. I take about 4-8 gpd. It helps me with my adhd and social phobia as well as serving as a subtle mood booster.

Even though I know I’ll be alright I feel strangely sad and irritated about this whole thing. I keep having arguments in my head about what a stupid idea it is to ban kratom lol.

Atleast they will finally put a stop to the kratom epidemic that’s killing thousands of Swedes a year and put a stop to the horrible gang wars being fought over kratom. /s obviously.

Anyways fuck Sweden and our draconian drug laws.

End of vent.

Hi, so I’ve seen and heard of it and did some light reading. I’m from the Northern US. I’ve heard some positive things like pain relief and mental health benefits but I’ve also heard some negatives like addition, tolerance and the fact it’s not exactly regulated by the FDA. I have fibromyalgia, arthritis and am hyper mobile. I am always in pain. So any advice or knowledge you have I’d love to hear and learn more :) Thanks

Hi everyone!

For a long time I have debated trying Kratom to see if it helps manage my anxiety. Today I decided I’m going to give it a shot.

So, I bought a kratom drink. The ingredients say 60 mg Mitragynine. 1 fl oz is a serving and there is two servings per container.

How much should I take for my first time? I don’t want to overdo it but I also don’t want to waste it by taking too little. TYIA!!

I'm 28 F and ive been dealing with chronic pain since I was 16 so about a decade now I had a disk replacement and fusion at 16 with nerve damage from a chunk of bone breaking off and bouncing around in my back I was also diagnosed with fibromyalgia, arthritis carpel tunnel and I still have 3 bulging disks in my back and one in my neck and I need another surgery but they want me to hold off as long as I can to get it done but I'm reaching my limit. I recently moved so I'm getting re established with a pain clinic here the have me only on not even half the meds I'm used to taking and keep SLOWLY adjusting them up to where I need to be and I understand completely why so I'm not complaining opioid laws changed ALLOT since I first started taking them. I've been on and off them over the years I switch it up and do medical marijuana and kratom and back to pain meds when my body gets to used to one . I still take pain meds on my bad days and then use kratom on my "normal" days so I'm not over doing the pain meds and have then for even I absolutely need them. I found 20mg kratom gummies allot more tolerable then drinking swamp water or messing my stomach up with a ton of capsules so that's where I'm at now with my kratom dose but was just curious what mg other people with chronic pain take when taking a kratom dose ?

First of all, I won't be doing this method again, so I don't need advice on that front.

Put around 6 grams in a square of 2-ply TP that I had broken down into two squares of 1-ply. Swallowed, and I could immediately tell it got stuck. I've done this method hundreds of times over the years and never had an issue since the paper would just rip if it got stuck, but this time it didn't and my gulp of water came back too. The weird part is I couldn't take a breath, and not in the sense that I had inhaled some powder- it was more like the ball of kratom got lodged in my windpipe.

I got assistance quickly in the form of a heimlich from someone I'm living with, but the tp ball didn't pop out from that; it definitely dislodged and a big swallow was enough to get it down. now about two hours later I'm feeling the expected effects. I guess what I'm curious about is 1.) whether or not getting a parachute stuck in your esophagus is enough to cause (what felt like) airway blockage, and 2.) if I could have actually inhaled that large of an amount without being dead by now.

Regardless: don't be like me. Just toss and wash.

Hi guys, I want to know if kratom vapes are good. Easy and no hassle, Kratom helps my adhd, and just like any other medication, I wish for this to be easy. Powder gets more messy then needed. This way I can easily get focused on my classes and projects. Please let me know if this way of ingestion works.

No one bothered to reply to my previous post but that's okay. I was worried that I would experience withdrawals as I stopped Kratom before surgery and was prescribed opiates for pain. I don't have a history with opiate addiction. I started taking Kratom to get me off the booze -- and it worked. It became a habit of 40-50 gpd (I lied and said 30 last post... Sorry, it seemed shameful). I was worried that the interaction of the opiate pain meds would send me into full withdrawal once I got off them and would need to immediately start consuming Kratom again... But that didn't happen. I'm okay. I don't miss it. I think I'm good now. The booze has been gone for a while and now I think I'm ready to say goodbye to Kratom. It did what it needed to do and I'm grateful. I'll keep some around in case I want the occasional good time and relaxation but that'll be months from now. Kratom really helped me get my drinking under control, I'll be forever grateful to this miracle plant. Bye for now.

There is a shop down the road from me that has kratom tea on tap. It comes out of the tap a little cloudy, I mean very little cloudy and it's good stuff. When I make my kratom tea with powder I can never get it as clear as that. If I put it in tea bags it's clear but not strong at all. If I straight powder brew and filter a several times it's works better. Anyone know why this is? Is prefer my tea to be clear like at the shop and as strong. I would even like to put some in my own kegarator and keep it carbonated but I cannot find any tutorials or guidance on this. I've googled, YouTube, unless I'm just not asking the right question any quidance is appreciated.

It’s funny because I think I may have an addictive personality, but I’ve come up with a way of taking kratom that works really well for me over long term.

What I do is buy a 30 gram bag. I take a spoonful of it every day until it runs out, which takes about a week, give or take. If I can, I try to add a day with no kratom before taking it again until I don’t have any left.

Then the hard part…I don’t let myself buy any more until at least 15 days since I bought the last 30 grams. That means I don’t take any for 1-2 weeks. Then I let myself buy more.

This way my daily average never exceeds 2 grams. Like right now, I think I’m going to buy more, and it’s been 17 days since the last time, so it’s ok.

This way I think I’ve been able to avoid becoming that dependent on kratom. Well, I admit that I miss it during the weeks I don’t take it, but to me this is an ok compromise that keeps it from turning into a major vice. At least for me, this has worked for me for many years, which is kind of cool.

Hey Im flying from poland to cyprus next week and want to take my green powder with me … any recomendations? I saw few sites saying it is legal in cPrus but a few that said that it is illegal… anyone here know for sure? I was rhinking about putring it in a plastic jar from Super greens which is basically also a green powder… what do yall think… thanks

I'm not too sure if this is allowed...but

I'm in the UK and tried Kratom a while ago, it made me feel very sick to the point of feeling like I had food poisoning. I took it in powder form with some water and just necked it.

I intend on doing it differently this time. I have got some Green Malay Maeng Da Crushed Leaf and intend on making some tea. My plan is to begin with 3g of leaf add 300ml of water simmer for 20 mins. let cool down a bit and drink only 150ml. that way my initial first dose would be about 1.5g of the Kratom and save the remainder for the following day. Because this is in tea form I don't know if this is a good way of doing it or if 1.5g is enough of a dose when done in tea form.

Any advice would be very appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,

I actually received a tramadol prescription due to a herniated disc. I took kratom yesterday(8g), its been like 16h since, do I need to wait more than 24h?

Since I got pharma quality, I wanted not touch the kratom and its pretty old kratom still works but I get like BP issues next day.

I can take up to 200mg tramadol, as per the prescription. Any tips?

I have just been prescribed metoprolol succinate for rapid heart rate associated with overactive nerves in my heart (Wolfe parkinson white syndrome)

I’ve been taking kratom for around 2 years now, 4 times daily. It is showing on medical sites to not take kratom with a beta blocker, but this is the case with most things as kratom is not studied or regulated enough. Could anyone point out areas of concern with this?

Going on a caving expedition that will take upwards to 24 hours, I normally use the capsules but my wife used all of them 😅 I’ll have some water but not enough to just make drinks whenever I want, I was thinking of super concentrating my whole days dose (30 grams) in like half a cup of water and just sipping on it with a chaser ready but if there’s any simpler methods I’d greatly appreciate it

I accidentally took too much powder because I didn’t weigh it like I usually do and have that shaky wobbly feeling. Is there anything that can help with this? Obviously I will stick to weighing it in the future.

Just got bloodwork done. Everything was good except my potassium level was 5.1. Has anyone ever experienced this?

Going to try and keep this short, but I was prescribed a fairly low risk anxiety med last year and it ended up ruining my life. I lost 40 pounds (only 125 to begin with), lost my job, etc.

After coming off of them, they completely destroyed my digestive system and qualify of life. I was barely ever able to hold down food, shitting immediately after every meal, and avoiding eating or drinking to avoid the pain of multiple bathroom trips a day.

That’s when I discovered kratom. I’ll be honest, I was at the end of the line. I didn’t want to live anymore, and I decided looking into opiates in a desperate attempt to save my life was a good decision. I stumbled on kratom in the process.

Holy fucking shit. I can eat again. I can think again. I want to live again.

Not only does it solve my digestive issues, but my anxiety melts away. It’s still there obviously but it just doesn’t bother me, like at all.

Why is this stuff sold at vape shops and not health food stores? Why is there so much fear monguring about this substance?

(I’m taking 3g once to twice per day right now, is that a good dose to try and sustain? Looking for tips to maintain a low tolerance too)

Hey

I’m to scared to touch the stuff and recently got through my withdrawal phase of the shots but my brother in law is highly addicted to the shots probably spending 50+ bucks a day. Would switching to 7OH be a good thing?
