I agree except for Trainwreck. Matter of fact I would like to start a thread about Trainwreck. I feel like I got jipped when I bought a bottle of 500 oh, it had a completely good expiration date, the powder was not overly dark in color but they did absolutely squat. I almost started to wonder if Trainwreck isn't a catch-all term for whatever strains haven't been selling that get combined into this formula.
So far as I know pumpkin Kratom was illegal in Thailand when I was there and should still be up to this day, and Malaysia forget about it... When you cross over the border first thing you see is a billboard that has a picture of a noose and says plainly this is happens to drug criminals ( which is a purposefully vague term). On the island of Bali I don't think they grow it either because it's a tourist place without a lot of farmland. I think it's grown in the impoverished regions particularly on Java and Borneo, which are gigantic Islands the size of u.s. states
Of course I hope you realize I'm not talking about the powders, but the opms liquid in particular. I'd be curious to know what that was like as a micro enema
Well you know how there's hundreds of different kinds of mango varietie, I think it's the same with kratom only to a lesser extent. This guy who knew a lot about growing it and who's post I wish I had saved but it was part of a deleted thread suggested that much of what is sold is produced by clipping and grafting of the same varieties and that it has such a long history of human usage that truly wild populations are hard to find, which is true of course for our friend papaver somniferum, cannabis indica, and so on
I've definitely noticed a difference between Bali & maengda strains, and my preference is a 1:2 ratio
I have yet to find NJOY. But my favorite tobacco store recently clued me to the existence of a powder product that claims a 5:1 concentration of regular kratom, so that 500mg contains nearly 25 mg of mitragynine. Called King Kratom I didn't have enough cash on hand to purchase it, and all my credit cards are being used by Nigerian princes if you know what I mean"Less is more"
Also keep an eye out for NJOY brand (comes in a white package). Sold in vape shops and online. By far the strongest brand I've ever had. Easily at least 30-40% stronger than any bulk powder I've tried in the last 10 years.
Also I just want to suggest toss n wash method. It's a lot easier and doesn't require drinking gritty liquids. It's easier than you probably imagine it. You can barely taste it or feel it in your mouth if done properly. You don't swish it around in your mouth of that's what you're imagining.
Fascinating. Just yesterday I had an experience just after taking kratom of feeling a bit off. I felt weak and my hands were trembling and I realized I was hungry. So I ate six or seven saltine crackers and that was sufficient for me to regain my strength.
I just re-read that, 20 grams at a time!?
I organized my day where I can still eat 3 squares ( I have a good appetite and weigh 130 on a 63 inch frame ) so low BMI. I also drink about a gallon of water during the 16 hours I am awake. I usually dose one hour after a meal and it seems to work fine. My morning dose is on an empty stomach with coffee so thats the dose I enjoy the most. Kind of like a kick start to the day.
I blame it on the half joint I left in the ashtray yesterday.
Good on ya!
I've never had withdrawals per say. But I'd be lying if I didn't say that I didn't have what were the beginnings of something I did not like and a place I do not want to go okay. The only way to describe it is if this goes on I'm going to feel like jumping out of my skin pretty soon , a total spirit of restlessness ... No good , no buenoI’ve gotten to the point where I only take one dose of 20 grams red vein kratom once in a day. I have to now only use kratom once or maybe twice a week, because my tolerance use to skyrocket so high that I didn’t feel any of the effects when I took kratom daily (taking multiple times a day… forget about it).
I use to be a heroin junky for 5 years and then on 120 mg of methadone a day for many more years until I got clean from all of that shit, close to 8 years ago. I have honestly never had any withdrawals from kratom, even when taking multiple does of kratom per day for months.
I don’t know if I fixed my opioid receptors or not by suffering over a year of cold turkey methadone w/d, but I honestly have never suffered from any withdrawals from kratom even after taking weeks long breaks from consistent (many months) of daily use.
I understand that some people have had bad opioid withdrawals from kratom, but I have never experienced any (I know what opioid withdrawals feel like after suffering through over a year of hell getting off methadone). I’m relieved to find that I don’t have any physical withdrawals from kratom.
I’m just saying
Your mom must be about 88! Well done! No really great post.I organized my day where I can still eat 3 squares ( I have a good appetite and weigh 130 on a 63 inch frame ) so low BMI. I also drink about a gallon of water during the 16 hours I am awake. I usually dose one hour after a meal and it seems to work fine. My morning dose is on an empty stomach with coffee so thats the dose I enjoy the most. Kind of like a kick start to the day.
First 2 weeks of taking it ( 26 months ago ) I realized that hydrating was imperative. So that's where the gallon jug came in to make sure I was following through and drinking it. That's all I drink. And coffee. 3 cups in the AM and a flavored fun one around 4PM. So 4 cups of coffee and a gallon of water and yes I pee a lot but it is clear and not dark yellow at all
Honestly the last 2 years have been the healthiest of my entire life. ( I'm 63 ) I have only one daily BM with firm results. My appetite is better than ever. My depression and anxiety have vanished. I used to get frequent headaches and I haven't had one in forever. My weight is good, my home looks good ( mostly ) I don't sell my shit anymore, haven't seen a dealer or hung around with a user, my Mom trusts me again, I have money to pay my bills and a little extra, my animals and I are eating good where before I would always feed my animals but they got sub par processed corn crap. Life is fucking amazing. Not real sure I can attribute all that to kratom, but I am pretty sure it helped.
I know most people can't be satisfied with just a natural plant like kratom and wan't to get more bang for their buck. I did too. Chased that feeling all my adult life. Maybe it does just take getting older before anyone can really see how much of their life they wasted. When your younger it doesn't matter as much. if at all. We all walk on the edge until we fall off. Some of us get a second chance, some don't. Just realized I carried on replying to your post and all i wanted to do was comment on the importance of hydrating.
Have a great weekend.
I haven't sorry. Are they grunge ?
Definitely ... probably. I always saw their posters but never actually saw them live and there's no record of their music on YouTube
