This post was from a kratom connosieur
Well my favourite strains would be Green Riau, Super Sunda, Red Vein Sumatra and Red Vein Riau.
I can't remember the name of one strain that completely knocked me off my feet, really sedating, don't know the name anymore.
I'm not a fan of the Thai strains as usually I like to take kratom after stims, so I want something that chills me rather than something that adds extra stimulation. Also I find that the stimulation from thai strains is nowhere strong enough for me to use it as an upper, as in for sending CVs, job applications or getting work done. Plus if you add thai strains to mdpv you'll get the worst shakes in the world.
Good old Bali was decent as well, but for some reason it's gotten more expensive, back when I first started doing kratom it was the cheapest strain, now it's pricey, don't know why. Anyway, if you're a daily user, buy multiple strains and alternate every day, does wonders for your tolerance, trust me.
Ive not tried any of the strains he mentioned. Would like to experiment a bit more with more different strains before i quit. Might get a 'smorgasbord' of different strains in. Could be interesting. Will probably have to wait until my savings cheque arrives though.
