Kratom is GREAT

[muz]

Yep, after eating about 6-8 grams (approx) of dried Kratomm leaves, I felt like I was on a bunch of percocet for the first time. I'll never forget that feeling.. :rolleyes:

Whats up brother.... So kratom is that good huh? I've been thinking of picking some up, but have been wary since i've never tried it. Is it a lot like opiates? Glad you liked it bro... Can you tell me where you got it? (if it was off the net). Peace.

There are many Kratom suppliers online. I've had good luck with www.kratomplants.com as well as www.mrkratom.com. Also check out Ebay, some times you can find unbelievable deals on quantity. I use kratom as part of my daily maintenance program. I don't get much euphoria from it but even if I don't take any thing else I can remain pretty much WD free from 7 grams AM, 7 grams before lunch, 5 grams before dinner and 12 grams before bed. I don't make tea or extract it any more, I just use ground up plant material in 00 size veg caps. It took some practice but I can get about 1/2 gram in each cap now. It still sucks having to swallow all those pills and not getting a high from it but it sure as hell beats WD and I find kratom tea or alcohol extract to be the foulest tasting thing ever. This is an amazing substance considering it is 100% legal and won't cause you to fail a drug tests.On a side note if I use nothing but kratom to stave off WD it seems to start loosing it's effectiveness after 3 days, but if I mix even a small amount of another opiate in I'm good for another 3 days. Has any one noticed anything similar. I was starting to wonder if this was a psychological thing but I had my friend randomly administer me either morphine or blue colored candy ground up and gel capped. This was done over the coarse of 4 3 day periods. When I got the candy I got the WD. I had no way of knowing which was which. They all looked the same and the dose of morphine was only 60mg, which taken orally is unnoticeable to me, even with cimetide. (unless I don't get it)

Kratom is probably the "best" legal substance out there, and by "best" I mean it messes you up pretty good.

That being said, after almost a whole year of habitual kratom use (up to a little over an ounce a day - a nine dollar a day habit - not bad when comparing to H), I can report that it is definitely habit forming, and if I run out, that day is pretty much shot. So, I try not to run out. I am spending a little too much money on it too, about 300 bucks a month. Gosh, I feel guilty, but it's nothing compared to a serious D habit.

I hope and pray that nobody will fuck this thing up for us, by figuring out some way to freebase it or shoot it or some shit like that. I mean if you do, keep it to yourself.

OBTW, the ABSOLUTE BEST way to take kratom is mixing a finely ground powder with an instant "chai" tea mix, the kind that has lots of sugar and milk poweder in it. Use only about half the boiling water, put in the kratom powder, stir for a couple minutes, and then top off your mug with another half cup of cool water - from the refridgerator is best. This enables the quick drinking of the stuff, and actually TASTES GOOD, believe it or not. Try it out.

Empty stomach is best, at least 3 hours after a meal, or less time if it was a small meal (like one bagel or a banana or something).

Doesn't seem to affect physical ability, I regularly exercise inthe morning, after my first cup of "chai" tea ; )

For better or worse, that's MY situation.

oh, also, it is constipating - the true sign of opiate activity. For that I occaisionally have to resort to bisacodyl 5mg X 4 tablets.

anyone else use a coffee maker to make their kratom tea? I've used it and re-ran the water through 3 times. seems to do the job but I think smoking might be more effective (if it's potent and you smoke a few grams of the leaves or a little bit of the extract)

[Zoop]

I have never tried smoking it, because I read that you have to smoke soooo much to equal a decent-sized dose, it's not worth it. Maybe I'll try it just to be sure, though.

No I don't use a coffee maker to brew my tea, but I DO use an electric coffee bean grinder, to get the whole dried leaves into a nice green usable powder. Works real good.

I sort of think of my kratom habit as a form of "new coffee." I mean coffee is physically addictive, right? and kratom has actually helped me move away from the huge amounts of coffee I was drinking every morning, before my "slip" which led to my present state of requiring this funky plant every day.

You should really try this Chai Tea instant beverage powder mix.

Hiya
Yupe, I Used The Coffee Maker Too, But Ran The Plant Matreial Threw It 6 Times. But From What I Was Told, Better To Just Boil The Water, Dump In Whatever Your Useing. Let It Sit In The Hot Water Stiring It Alittle, And Then Filter. I Used A Fine Mesh Filter, But To Get More Particals Out ( Not That They'll Hurt Ya) But Run It Threw A Paper Coffee Filter After That. Wow, To The Person That Said They Use An Oz A Day. Seems Like Alot Of Herb, But If It Works For Ya, Great.by The Way, I'm One Of The Guy's Thats Selling The 75% Extract, I Know It's Pricey But Us Wholesalers Got To Pay The Price Too. And Yeah, I Hope People Don't Try Stupid Shit Like Trying To Shot It. And I'm Glad To Hear People Say Kratom Works Well For Them, And Don't Want To See It Outlawed In The U.s.a. Maxell

the 75% kratom extract is a nice product. and I dont think it pushes the line too bad. I think more attention is being payed to the 95-98% isolates.

I tried the material vaporized and insuffilated, with the latter being a little more potent. I do get different effects from kratom leaf compared to the different extracts...the extracts have fewer side effects, and seem more stimulating. some extracts do very little, others are almost too much. even 15 grams of the reg strength leaf can make me dizzy, i dont get nausea much, only twice with kratom after months of taking over the last 4 years, but the dizziness it can cause has me only taking 4-8 gram doses every few hours.

If kratom is illegalized I am going to move to mexico...........

[HeidiW]

I want some! Where would you get it other than online? I don't have cc or checks. Any ideas? I 'm out west, kinda sorta by Sin City.

[paperrabbit]

yes, i have to say - i am not a kratom believer, too. So the first time I tried it I took like 3-4 tsp (i capped it all) and took it when i felt myself starting to get sick. So then, i DID get sick... I had hot/cold sweats, RLS and insomnia - took xanax and ambien to pass the fuck out. So the next day I came home from work (take bupe early in the day) and mixed a few tsp in with some yogurt as i was getting sick, and what do you know - it worked! My wds subsided and I was able to do what I had to - it was great. I really don't know why it didn't work in cap form, but yogurt (fruit on the bottom) was the way to go, I couldn't even taste it. The thing is, I didn't get high at ALL form it, it just killed my wds. I wouldn't mind getting a LITTLE buzz...maybe if I did a little more *shrug* love the stuff, though

Smoking some extract gave me a headache not even my barbies could cure.
