I have been experiencing tolerance issues with my favorite red strains lately. Even after a 1 month break it barely was reduced when I took it again.
I am out for now and wanted to re-up and was wondering if I should try some other strains or if that is just bullshit all the talk of switching strains 'eliminated my tolerance issues' I read online.
The issue for me is I am very sensitive to stimulating strains (in that they give bad anxiety and discomfort) and it took a long time to find a couple of red strains I can get on with so I wonder if it is worth even bothering with other strains since if they turn out too stimmy it will just be a waste.
I figure the only reason that people might say switching works for them is that it might be the other strains had more stimulant type actives which weren't as susceptible to tolerance as the opioid ones, and since I only like the sedative effect, and thus opioid effects, which cause tolerance it would probably be a waste of kratom and time to try other ones out? Ie the ones I like are going to be most susceptible to tolerance since they have more opioid alkaloids.
Opioid agonism will cause tolerance no matter the strain won't it and the other actives I hate anyway since they give me a tight knot in my chest and end up having to throw it out wasting money and being left with less kratom.
Afaik someone on this forum did an analysis of different strains and there's not much difference in the active ingredients. The stimulation/sedation most likely comes from different dosages and the placebo effect and switching strains shouldn't help much/at all with tolerance
