I've read on the great vast interwebs that there is no distinction between strains and that batches can vary wildly in potency, ratios, and their effects. That said, a good quality vendor would theoretically put out consistently good quality product (and ideally at an affordable rate), which is all I ask for as a consumer. BTW, mods, this is not sourcing as I'm not requesting where or how to purchase anything. Just want to determine which option to choose when I do.
Today I got 28g of Remarkable Herbs ('Thai' strain, FWIW). No scale at the moment - had a level teaspoon with water, plus a pinch of turmeric and black pepper. Felt nothing. About two hours later took another teaspoon, plus 240mg magnesium. Took my vitamin D-K (in MCT oil form) along with it as apparently fat potentiates and I'd forgotten to take it at breakfast. About five minutes after that I started to get the warm n fuzzy, loose relaxed feeling, very mild euphoria. Slight wobble / motion weirdness - not nausea exactly but I could see how at higher doses it could develop. Didn't get pruritus until I went out to the garden at T+30. The plants usually irritate my skin for a few minutes, though today it's lasting longer than that. Could be it takes longer to set in or the plants triggered it...?
In any case, I'm not blown away, especially since my tolerance ought to be nonexistent, but considering I hadn't actually measured the dose, I can't be too critical here. And anyway, even this is an exponential improvement to my usual depressive state of affairs. So I'm not complaining.
I've heard a lot about OPMS. What exactly is the difference between Gold and Silver? Beyond the price, I couldn't tell.
Which brand has been involved with your best / worst experience with kratom?
