Kratom The Kratom Megathread

Your best bet is to just take as much leaf as you need for your doses. If your doses have gotten up there as mine did, just suffer through taking how much ever you need. The alternative is extracts, and the consensus there is that extracts are bad news. They're ridiculously expensive, raise tolerance FAST, and put you on the track to spending tons of money on overpriced extracts to meet your tolerance requirements. Some vendors sell it already capped in capsule form and you could just take a bunch of caps, or you could invest in a machine to do it yourself. Either way, any of those alternatives are better than going with extracts. Extracts are bad fucking news man. I know, I went down that expensive road to super-high tolerance.

I have heard, and have tried it with mixed success, that a dose of 4-8mg of loperamide about an our before your kratom dose will plug up many of the opioid receptors in the gut and elsewhere, leaving the kratom to go to more useful happy places like in the brain. This wonked up my stomach a couple times though, so I just got my tolerance down by cutting my doses way back and suffering some WDs.

I've never heard of an extraction method that one can do at home, and I have no idea how the vendors or whoever makes the extracts available on the web.

Good luck. Let me know if I can be of help to you,

best way to take kratom:

Go to your local GNC or Vitamin Shoppe , and buy capsules.

Pack the kratom (powder) into the capsules, and vuala , you have an easily intake-able pill form kratom (not the nasty sand like texture in your mouth and tongue)

Yes, i know you can buy capsules online, but you can save your self a lot of money if you buy bulk powder and capsule them yourselves.
 
hey, first post.
reading through here ive seen that nmda antagonist may work as a potentiator.
would a low oral dose of 3-meo-pcp synergize and boost the sedating/analgesic aspects of kratom?
 
awesome. i enjoyed kratom on its own but i also enjoy 3meopcp on its own, im glad to know they should play nicely together. tried mxe but once, maybe it was subpar quality, but it was alot of burn for not alotta fun.
 
I heard capping it doesn't give you the same level of high vs tosh and wash..

Capping shouldn't change anything as long as the same amount is taken. The caps break down in a matter of seconds. What would reduce the buzz is if all the caps were swallowed after a meal. Kratom needs to be taken on an empty stomach for best results. Taking it after a large meal may cause little or no effects to be felt, excep the ansence of WDs for those like me who are addicted to it.
 
a question about ingestion. i make fruit smoothies and add in protein powder, could i just replace my protien with kratom powder and enjoy in the same fashion? im not sure why this wouldnt work, im thinking everything stays cold, no heat or alcohol.
 
Yea u could do that. I don't think any heat is necessary but to each their own.
I just ordered a 15x extract for the 1st time. I usually go with standard powder like Bali but I wanted a lil more kick this time.
My doses are usually 10-13 grams. How much extract would I need? Ppl say 1g is good but accounting for my tolerance how much should I take for my 1st time?
 
There's a considerable amount of variation between batches of kratom (even from the same vendor...IME anyway) so its usually best to start low and then work your way up to a good spot. A lot of times the "extracts" aren't exactly as potent as they're advertised as being. Since you're usually doing 10-13 grams and you're working with 15x/"15x" extract I think 1 gram is a safe place to start. That way even if the extract is in fact 15x potency you'll still be around your usual dosage range.
 
I never heard about this stuff before, weird! I've tried salvia and was not a fan, but this sounds more intriguing.
 
today is my second day using kratom and i have to say i thoroughly enjoy it. a couple grams of maeng da, RVI, SBG. im a fan of this stuff.
 
Anybody ever broke down & bought it from a head shop even tho u kno it's an incredible rip off? Got 15g of 'captain kratom' @ my local head shop today cause my order won't b here til Monday. & I've been out since thursday :( so to avoid any k withdrawals (which ive never experienced but don't want to) I broke down & paid 30 muthafuckin dollars for 15g. Gotta say tho, captain k ain't bad. Usually I need about 12g to feel anything but only about 7g of captain had me right.
 
I'm going to give it a try and was wondering where are you ordering your Kratom from?

Thats the only kind of kratom that they sell at any headshop in my area and its the only one that sells it and is like 45 mins away... i dont know what strain it is but i think someone here said its green thai? I didnt think it was very good at all though i much orefer the bali that ive been getting since then and its actually a little cheaper for 100 grams haha

I recently got a variety sample pack from that same vendor i get my bali from that i havent dug into yet... but its got 10 grams of Super Premium Bali; Super Green Malay; Ultimate Thai; Super Green Indo and Super Maeng Da-Genetically Grown... i normally take about 2-2.5 teaspoons of the bali i get from the same people (i dont weigh it just put it in the teaspooon and toss and wash).. but in terms of dosing the different strains does anyone have any suggestions? Like for any of them if theres one twice as stront should i take half the dosage of what i normally do for that strain or are they all about equal and i should always use the same quantity?
