Kratom Powder vs Gummies for Discreet Travel

[kadlebodle]

Hello I will be traveling soon, and I think the best way for me to travel undetected by my family is to take gummys with me. I’m not looking to get high, I just want to stave off any kind of withdrawal. In your experience, how do they compare to raw powder? Say, take 80 mg MIT gummies. How does that compare to grams of powder? Thanks for your help.

What is MIT?

When I’ve been at the store that sells the powdered kratom, they also sell drinks and gummies. They advertise them with a milligram with the MIT acronym and then I assume it has to do with the scientific name for it, mitragyna speciosa.

kratom?

I've traveled with powder kratom many times. But yeah, I would probably prefer extracts of some kind, less conspicuous.

What is MIT?

stands for Mitragynine, the principle alkaloid in kratom.

Yeah, I was wondering about on planes. Kratom is illegal in some places but I was wondering more about federal rules. I guess it's not a problem.
As far as flying to other countries, I doubt most care that much if you are a tourist. But dunno

I wouldn’t mind taking the powder. Did they search your luggage? How much did you bring with you? Was it a large container? Did you check your bag? I’m not quite sure what my actual dosage is per day right now, but it’s about 3 tablespoons a day. I think I could get by with two easily.

I've brought a 250g bag of powder, with the label still on it, in my carry-on, through airport security xrays.

They don't really care when you aren't trying to hide it like drugs. They have dogs, they have strips to wipe your fingers, if they think its real drugs.

I've gone through airports with powder kratom 3 times with no issue.

Just act like it's legal... because it is (usually), and you won't have an issue. Just check the state laws.

Edit: I realized I was assuming you were from the US.

Yep, I don’t know that’s why I’m turning for help here.

Thank you, truly. This really helps me. I am from the US. I’ll be traveling to Canada for a day, but I think I can make it through that day without any withdrawals. I’m just going to not even bother with trying to take it across the border. I do not want to be found out.

Traveling through customs is a totally different situation. Customs may very well confiscate that. I don't know.

Customs checks for more than just drugs, you can't just take any plant or organic material into any country.

I think extracts are your best bet in that situation. Kratom is legal in Canada too iirc, but still, you have to declare any organic plants you are carrying across borders.

I just Google kratom and Canada. Sounds fairly legal and there are places to buy up there. Website had advice for how to bring it through customs. But if you are trying to hide it from your family then it's a different matter. If it's really only for the day, can't you just take some caps or extracts right before you go to the border and get by?

Yep, I was going to get some caps and just put them in my pocket. I don’t know how the extract dose compares to the powder, I am hoping to get some kind of answers as far as that is concerned. Do you know? I don’t want to take too much and really mess up my tolerance.

Don't worry about messing up your tolerance with extracts after just 1 day, that takes several days.

80mg mit gummies would be roughly equal to about 4-5g of your average, good quality kratom.

 

[chippermonk]

I've never done extracts or caps. But I hear that some of the extracts are very strong and I don't know if I'd be confident in the info on their packaging re strength being accurate.
If you do get some, you could experiment with some in advance just to evaluate its effects.

Just a little update for you and anyone that finds this thread. I purposefully stopped my powder and I got a 20 mg MIT vivazen gummie that I took as early RLS WDs set in. I figure this will be the easiest to carry across the Canadian border. It was absolutely disgusting…. but either way, it definitely killed the RLS within 10 minutes, and I became so sleepy that I couldn’t stay awake to see if any euphoria set in. I’ve woken up four hours later feeling pretty OK. I’m going to do the same tonight to see if that’s what my dose should be. I’ve alternated between 3tsp per day of raw powder and 3tbl. Right now I’m at about 6tsp per day.

I made it to Montana and Canada and back. I brought the liquid shots and gummies as a carryon without any problem as it’s not illegal and I followed liquids rules. No one asked me shit about them anyway. Probably eight shots and a pack of gummies. I carried a 12oz powder tub in my checked luggage. No issues. When I traveled to Canada I poured them all into 5 hour energy shot bottles. I put a big dose of the powder into a Starbucks Frappuccino bottle. There is little color change and the mouth is wide enough to put it in. (I am still trying to hide from family and all this helped). The border on either side didn’t do much but look at passports and ask if we brought fruit.

Side note… those shots aren’t shit. I take enough Kratom that I’ll go into some mild withdrawals within 18 hours or so. I was hoping the extracts would sustain me for that long, but they do not. They last for about an hour, followed by intense headaches, terrible sinus problems, eyes are red and swollen. The withdrawals come much sooner. Within six hours or so. I will never do them again. I threw them all away when I got home.

Thanks for all your help, hope to be off this stuff soon.
