Extract no good?

[Cellardoor]

ive read a few posts saying that the powder kratom extract isn't as good as the leaf? is this true? what are your experiences, cuz I just bought a bag of it (the extract).

[AWOL]

I've heard conflicting info on both sides. I think the best answer is that it depends on who's doing the extract / what kind of an extract.

[HistoryofMadness]

you may want to be more specfic because the powdered kratom that i know of is simply leaves ground into a powder.. its easier to deal with than leaves, and powdering them can be a hassle and messy...

but it only costs more b/c someone put labor into it, otherwise they're the same thing.

Extracts dont seem to pack quite the same punch...waste of money imo

[Sumocat]

If you mean the liquid extract, I would say don't bother. Some may have other experiences, but mine was that it really didn't have any effect at all.

In my (2 mo.) experiences with kratom I've bought a resin extract that sucked. I smoked it. Nothing. I've now also tried a powdered 15x extract, threw a bunch of it in my tea. Nothing. I've also just tried a 7% "full-spectrum" extract, and did actually get some result, worked a hell of a lot better than the 15x. So far, leaf for me, please...all the way.

It's not liquid, it's powder. I still haven't tried it, waiting for a rainy day when I don't have any other opiates. I did taste a small bit which tasted like complete shit. No wait I think shit would taste better than that! Yuck !

[U4Euhhhhh...]

I have tried many many different extracts and only one leaf (powdered). Of course the extracts were much more expensive than the leaf. No joke, the powdered leaf worked better than all the extracts! But thats because I injested the leaf propa. I would fill alot of the big empty gelcaps :chillpill (the veg ones) and as washed it down with white grapefruit juice....and then as soon as noticed a first alert, I vaporized some kratom powder. And then vaped some headies. I have to say this was the most enjoyable experience Ive ever had with kratom. The extracts alone, although they had noticable effects, did not compare to this near MDA experience of the premium powdered leaf. Just my experience.

Just took the kratom resin, about 1 teaspoon chalked high with some hot water, sugar, and lemon juice.

This stuff is the shit. Feel like I just munched down 4 norcs.

So just tried it tonight and it was actually pretty good. Got a nice buzz and now I'm feeling very relaxed. Good stuff for sure :)

Where and what exactly did you get? I am pondering buying a new batch, but cannot decide where to go.

[Cellardoor]

I got the extract at Kratomherbs.com , it was 25 grams for 75 dollars. It worked pretty well, but I'm pretty sure I paid too much. That's usually the way it goes with me. At least it worked!

Plz, explain "headies"? Tart is dumbass and wishes to try your method. I have vaporizer. But no gelcaps. Would me strong-ass tea w/a wht grapefruit jce back be equatable, do ya think? Thanks so much.

I have tried just about every type of liquid extract and have found that they are all a huge waste of money. They are way too expensive and they do doodly squat!

might it have something to do with your tolerance when you do it?

I just tried it again after blowin 3 oxys the night before and it didnt do jack shit.

Was your tolerance high at the time?

[Chicklet]

Yes, my tolerance is pretty high. Whenever I do the extract tho,I take it in addition to my usual dose, which is 2 1/2 tsps. or about 6 grams.
About a year ago, when I purchased extract, it was very strong and knocked my socks off! I have yet to find a good extract this past year. I feel that lately, everything including bali, thai, indonesian powders or leaf, have been weak. I'm not sure why, just seems to be.
