**Sorry in advance if this is in the megathread, just wanted some quick opinions**

Ok so I bought 1 oz of Kratom bali leaf. Maybe I'm doing this wrong....can't really figure it out even reading the megathread. The first time, I put a spoonful (don't have a scale) into my water bottle, filled with cold water, then drank after maybe 30 mins. Nothing. Tried it again using same leaves, but left it overnight to sit and drank, not much different. Last night I emptied a tea bag and used that to fill with the leaves (maybe a tablespoon or more) and all i ended up feeling was kinda nauseous, but I'd ended up taking a hydro bc I needed to feel SOMETHING, so that may not be the best comparison. Today I'm drinking about 13 oz that have been steeping overnight. Should I be grinding the teas into a powder instead? Or is it not enough? I need at least 2 hydros to feel anything, normally 3-4 to feel a good euphoria.
I was so hoping this'd be the answer for me since it's easy to obtain. The taste hasn't been at all an issue which makes me wonder if it might not be enough.

Also bought some Skullcap tea, the taste wasn't too bad, but didn't really get much out of it.

Thanks BL'ers!
 
You need to simmer the leaf in water, steeping doesn't extract the good stuff properly. You've been drinking inactive gunk, lol. Simmer 6-9 grams of leaf in 2 cups of water for about 20 minutes on lowish heat. Strain, cool, and drink. If you use fill-your-own tea bags it makes it so much easier and much less messy. You don't lose any efficacy with tea bags, either. Yes, you should grind it into powder.

Or, you can always just eat the leaf and skip the tea. Throw a spoonful into your mouth and chase with juice. Helps if you sip a little juice and don't swallow it before you put the kratom in your mouth.
 
In the past, I've found the easiest and most effective way is if you just mix the ground leaf with some yogurt in a blender on high for 20-30 seconds (add a little fruit juice, or pieces of fruit with milk to make it into a "smoothie" - makes it a little easier to swallow). And of course take it on an empty stomach.
 
Toss n Wash: fill your mouth with cold water, spoon about half a gram or less of Kratom at a time, and swish and swallow.
 
Geesh, I drank the crap for nothing!
Ok yesterday I mixed it w/ pudding, today I'm trying it w/ applesauce since I don't really like yogurt or pudding: Mixed about 3-4 grams (tried to grind into a powder first) with sugar and applesauce, chased it w/ some juice. Now I'm waiting...yesterday again I had to chase it w/ a couple hydros. Guess I just like th hydros so much not much else will do maybe.

Thanks guys!
 
Kratom is noticeable for the opiate niave. Your tolerance is probably your problem because toss and wash (what you did) should have worked, a tea is not required.
 
*pandoh, We can't tell you where to get it, against the rules, sorry.

Yeah I'm guessing it's my tolerance Primo. I would say it probably takes 15-20 mg hydro to make me feel good usually. The toss n wash hardly affected me. I want to try some again today so I can try and save some of my hydros (can't get those like kratom lol), I think though that I'll try just doing more. Hopefully it works.
 
Tea isn't required, no. But it sure makes it tasty. Toss n wash is quick and easy once you learn how to get it down right, but the unwanted side effects are much more noticeable as well. Most likely from ingesting a huge amount of plant matter.

It took me a few tries to get used to Kratom and it's more subtle effects. Before say probably the third time I tried it I would have told you it was crap, but I stuck with it and eventually I got what I was looking for, haha.
 
I think my issue w/ the tea is I just dont' have the time to do that, plain and simple. Without divulging too much, my work/life is mostly around lots of people who would not likeit. I truly prefer a pill, something you can just pop and wait. The toss n wash will have to do I suppose. I will try again today... missing the warm fuzzies. :%)
 
well i took a little over two tablespoons toss n wash...i wasn't really thinking but that's about double what I'd been taking. hopefully will feel something good soon. What is weird is that apparently 2 tblsp equeals 30 grams according to this conversion chart I'm looking at...that cannot be right, or I have a holy high tolerance batman.
 
Ok I'm going to update in the megathread; it's working, not nearly as potent as I'd like but still nice.
