Kratom - Never before - No effect whatsoever

[Seattle_Stranger]

So instead of writing out a longgggg ass post about literally nothing, I'll make it short and sweet.

I read up on kratom and how it has opiate-like effects on a person and was sold. I needed to try it. So I went to Mr Kratom and bought 25g of his red premium indo. Got it today, and I did exactly this:


I boiled some water and poured it into a regular sized coffee mug.
I poured in a spoonful of kratom powder into the water, roughly anywhere from 3-5g of it.
Sitrred it up good, and let it sit for about 5 mins.
I added a bit of sugar to it and some ice cubed to cool it down.
Drank it down and chased it with orange soda.

From this, I felt warm-ish and mellow, but no more than I would from drinking any other kind of tea. No pin pointed pupils, no euphoria, no nausea, nothing even close to what I read here: http://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=36932

So, I made another cup, this time using a coffee filter as a "teabag" and about the same amount of powder, and if I didn't feel anything the first time I MOST CERTAINLY didn't feel a thing this time.

So here I am with another cup, the third one, using the same method I used the first time. Hopefully I see results this time. I'm dying to feel what the guy from Erowid felt. I want pinpoint pupils, euphoria, all that. I don't have easy access to prescription opiates and I wouldn't even know where to look for heroin, so this will have to do.

Am I doing something wrong?

For a little background, I've never messed with opiates and I'm not sue if I've ever even taken a perscrition opiate in my life.

read up on erowid where it talks about doses.



nvm i just did... you might have some stuff that's not too potent.


3-5 grams is only a strong dose if you get really potent kratom. Slowly work your way up until you find a dose that will work. try a 7 g tea and see if you feel that.

I just emptied out the remnants of the "teabag" and added another good 4 or 5g, drank it down, still not a thing....

It sucks too because this stuff tastes SOOOO nasty, it's a huge effort to drink it!

4grams should do the trick :S

Kratom is indeed quite nasty tasting. It is one of those things that sets off my gag reflex the moment it touches my tongue. That being said, tea is not a particularly good mode of administration. Either toss it into your mouth, plug your nose and then wash it down with something with a strong taste or parachute it with tissue paper.

Like I said, I don't ever remember even taking a opiate pain killer in my life.

Having said that, I tried something today, and the effect could be placebo, but here it is:

I filled a smaller bowl with some decent weed and I sprinkled some kratom powder into the bowl. Just a little amount. I smoked the bowl as I normally would any other. I got very high, higher than I normally would from just one bowl and it felt a little different. I didn't feel warm or anything, but had a very strong sense of "Fuckit" and kept staring into nothing. I also looked in the mirror, and my pupils weren't quite pinpointed, but they seemed to be a little smaller than usual. I kept saying to myself "Wow I am so fucking high". I am leaning towards not-placebo, but it's possible I just have some really good weed, because this is a fresh bag I just obtained last night.

Anyone?

Placebo IMO. You would have to smoke a lot of kratom to feel it. At least a couple grams of it. That would be really nasty haha.

^its a great way to ruin a pipe, no ammount of cleaning will entirely eradicate the taste...

4-5 grams is the kratom sweet spot for me. More and I feel ill, less and not a whole lot happens.

^I am pretty much the same. If I try to take much more than that at one time I will feel nauseous and dysphoric and would probably vomit as well.


One thing I have noticed as that a lot of people on this site put their kratom in water and boil it first. I have never tried this and it sounds absolutely disgusting to me. I use a special method called toss and wash in which you just swallow the powder straight and chase it with juice. If you do it right you don't taste anything. It is also more efficient apparently.

The key is putting a little liquid in you mouth first, then drop the kratom in that puddle in your mouth and then wash it down with a big gulp of more liquid. I use gatorade. Water works but you are more likely to taste it and feel the texture.
