my better half of 30 years is thai. when i ate pain meds like candy and sometimes got sick she would tell me "maeng da" would help. she said it was a leaf from home that helps with pain and all kinds of other beneficial effects. i was like yeah right a leaf will keep that monkey off my back. after years of her saying "maeng da" i thought to google it one day.ga Thom
found maeng da = kratom in the usa. hmmmm. called the local head shop and asked if they cary kratom or maeng da. he said both. what? he explained that essentially all marng da is kratom but not all kratom is maeng da. whatever on the way.
bought some .5g capsules and got back and ate one. then another. it was magic. couldnt believe what i was feeling (or not feeling). looked on ebay and saw a vendor there and bought some. they stopped selling on ebay but she still my "plug". i just recently tried a different vendor after all these years and found some that is more effective. tried before and always returned. idk the kratom just seemed weaker the last few goes. didnt have that bitterness that i am used to, ya know? maybe old and stale....
anyway
stay safe and keep yer eye out for da boogieman
