second what Picnic_Johnson told you. stay away from the hype. the medicine is good, no need to hype. for me the plain powdered leaf has been beautiful. ~ frankly for energetic, really high energy buzz, look for the white vein. for sedation, opiate feel, and pain look for the red vein. the green vein for me has a bit of both. ~ i've been using it daily for about a year now. generally mix red and green. keep it simple seems to be best for kratom. i like the Bali strains.
