Agree with the first 2 senetences, but not the 3rd. Mixing K with yoghurt is by far the easiest, most pleasant way to take it, and its also very effectively absorbed that way too. I beleieve yoghurt probably clings to your gut walls as milk does, so loads of the alkaloids should get absorbed, if you havent eaten for at least 2 hours will help too. T & W is really quite a difficult technique to master, involving making a kratom poweder sandwich out of layers of water, so you take a big sip of water first and hold that at the back of you throat, then tilt your head back and shovel a bot of kratom in, finally head still back take another big sip of water and swallow the whole lot. If you dont end up coughing, choking, and spluttering on bits of k powder stuck in your windpipe and manage this easily then you are a natural, and will save money on yogs.
Why is the white sumatra better than the green borneo? The GB is about 3 times stronger. I guess in terms of tolerance it's better to start with the white, because if you started with the GB you probably wouldnt be able to feel anything from the white.
