need a little help understanding half-life elimination rates....
is the half-life of a drug dose dependent?
for example, internet says the half-life of kratom is just under 40 hours, making it detectable 9 days after the dose (on the long side - i assume this is because of different strains, but nowhere can i find which strain corresponds to difference in length of half-life...)
so if i take 5 grams of kratom, is it eliminated in the same amount of time as if i were to take 20 grams? or since 20 grams is so much larger of a dose, is the length of time it gets to be absolutely 0 - no detectable amount what so ever, much longer? to me it makes sense that the larger dose would linger and take longer to reach 0, but i don't know if that is correct or not. like if you took 50 grams would the amount of time it takes to get to 0 be about one month?
