I've tried Kratom in several forms and this is by far the best. It's remarkably similar to a moderate hydrocodone high with a little more of a stimulating effect. The stimulating effect is quite pleasant, not the nervous kind you get with, for instance, ephedrine. It makes you alert, but not wired. I highly recommend it. It's very opiate like - you get the itchy nose and everything - but the tea tastes like shit & the nausea can be fairly intense for some. I don't get much nausea, but my boyfriend generally vomits every other time we do it.

Here's the specific product I endorse, the Premium Kratom Leaf:

I've also tried the "super powder" extract and the resin. The super powder works the same but is much less cost effective. It's good if you want to do a large amount but don't want to go through boiling a whole bunch of leaves. The resin was a bitch to deal with & I didn't enjoy it as much. Anyway, back to the goods. The Premium Kratom Leaf comes as dried leaf & stem clippings. For two people, Take about six tablespoons full (real tablespoons, like the kind you use in cooking) of plant material and boil it in a pot of water until the water turns dark-medium brown, the color of strong tea, about 15 minutes. Strain through a strainer, making sure to squeeze the leaves to get all the juice out, and save the water in another pot. Repeat the process twice with the dried plant material. Your third boil should result in medium-light brown colored water. You can do a fourth boil if you want to really get everything out of the leaves but I generally find that it's not worth the effort. The water comes out yellowish, and it's clear that most of the good stuff has been extracted already.
.
Combine all the water saved from the three boils and boil it down to a drinkable amount. I usually boil it down until it fills about one regular sized coffee cup. Drink. Depending on your strainer, you might have some coffee ground sized residue in your cup as well. Drink that too. Let me mention again that this is enough for two people. I drink it unsweetened, but I chase every gulp with a strong flavored juice, like cranberry. My boyfriend takes it with A LOT of sugar, and he also chases it with juice. Three friends of mine like to drink it straight albeit about three times more watered down. They say they don't mind the taste. I think they're out of their minds. I like it my way better not just because you don't have to taste the shit as much, but also if you drink it all within the space of a few minutes, the high hits all at once & I like the rush. This is important: be sure not to take huge gulps if you think the shit is nasty because it will make you retch. Effects should kick in after about 20 minutes. I imagine this stuff would be good for withdrawls from opiates, though I haven't used it as such. Just because I only got a regular opiate habit recently.
.
It really is worth a try. Trust a former heroin addict/current pill popper!
.
I would like to know if anyone has had similar experiences, and if there are any other websites that sell good shit. iamshaman is the only place I've tried, and the stuff was always good so I never felt a need to go elsewhere.
