I just found out a local head shp selld Kratom for $25 for a 3 gram bag. Is this a rip off? I want to go buy some and try it out but that sounds high to me. If anyone can let me know I'd greatly appreciate it. Also, consider that I'd like to try it once and don't mind paying more for the convenience of going right down the street and getting some. I just don't know if 3 grams is going to be sufficient. I don't have a regular opiate habit right now so I don't think I need a huge dose.

That's 'spensive. A reputable online shop (one I, and many friends have used a lot) sells 4oz/112g of premium leaf for $34.95 I'd say shop around.

I just noticed my typos, sorry. I know just from common sense it's a rip off actually but the fact that I've been wanting to try it and this place is a mile away is weighing heavily on me. I can try it NOW... I really am wondering if 3 grams is going to be a good first dose? Maybe the guy on the phone screwed up when he told me the weight? I'm also wondering if I can smoke it?
I appreciate responses. Thanks!!!

try this site, they have EXCELLENT customer service skills and a shitload of other products. I have ordered from them many times and it comes quick. Also, sometimes they throw in some xtra samples of other things too.

Let me know what you think.....

Tis true. A friend of mine used it after it first launched to check out Kratom for the first time. He didn't have a cc# so I ordered it for him with my cc. Well, as per a mistake on my part of forgeting to put in the correct expiration date the order was cancled. I corrected the error and my buddies order was shipped pronto. When it arrived he also got a free sample of some salvia divinorum! We both thought it was a great site to do buisness with.

unless money is a big issue i say get the 3g from the head shop and try it out. you can find out right away if it works then order from that place shaunclo posted up.
the dosage is variable from person to person it may take 2-10 g for effects but try lower dosage and see how your body responds.

Thanks everyone. I am going to try it and see if it does anything. I suspect it will because I haven't used any psychoactive substance since last weekend. (Doesn't that suck?) I'm just going to eat the 3 grams so I know I got everything out of it. My stomach acid should do a good job extracting the alkaloids right?
Yup, I find eating it straight up is the best way for me to get it down. Grap a spoon and dig in!!! (You may get slight nausea if you take too much, but it's honestly not bad. You'll puke, not even really care that you puked, and everything will be fine.)

You know Jackie, after seeing what it goes for on the net I DID NOT buy it. Yeah I really want to try it but I'd rather wait than get ripped off like that. Mine should be here in a few days. I have better things to spend $25 bucks on.
I am going to buy some Chaste Tree berry extract though. I just called a local health food store that has a tincture. I'll let you know what I think. I read your posts on it Thanks!

Even though you now know that you can get it for way cheaper online, if you really want to try it now and don't mind parting with the cashish, why not go for it. My only worry (if it were me) would be that it wouldn't be fresh leaf. You wouldn't be giving kratom a real try if you were taking old, dried-out leaf.
whatever -- good luck!
Don't know about the price of Kratom,but in general if you think it's a rip,it probably is.

My friend took care of me today and the urgency is gone now so I ordered from the sitr Shaunclo recommended and I can wait a few days. I'm looking forward to it though. Thanks Shaunclo!

If thats plain leaf it's beyond a rip off. 3 grams wont even do a fucking thing if its just leaf, especially if you have an opiate tolerance. I've always used iamshaman, I am thinking about trying out phyto's extract, but thus far 2 days and no response to my email question, so maybe not....
