so a friend recently got a batch of powder and gave me some kratom [15g] to try. The brand is green malay powder, and correct me if i'm wrong but the name of the company is not only against the rules but doesn't really matter as the vendors only have a few suppliers. my problem is he takes a month of total sobriety a year and he just started, so he was unable to give me first hand experience on dosage. the info i've gathered say a good midlevel dose would be about 4-7 grams, is this true? i was going to have 2 1/2 grams to start with and go from there
what is a good dosage? i only have a bit so i want to get the most out of it
 
Unfortunately the different types vary a huge amount, so even if you're getting the same strain from the same source, there may still be variations in the strength. So i'd recommend just using your friends advise if he's had first-hand experience with it, maybe even a little lower if you haven't used kratom before.
 
i usually down 1-3 tablespoons of a kratom blend (whole leaf mixed with extracts). though, i have an excellent source for kratom, this shit is pretty good if you find a good source. like naon said, potency varies from source to source; i've heard stories of people downing 20 grams and not feeling shit, while others downing 5-8 grams and get high as bawls.


the best method i've found is the toss'n'wash. it makes me gag sometimes, but if you do it right, it's almost like swallow a pill. but yuck! it tastes horried and the dust gets stuck to my throat.


there are also many other compounds in kratom which can account for its stimulant effects. it's been proven that there are yohimbe (stimulant) like chemicals which affect adrenergic receptors, and i would bet that one of the chmemicals is a NMDA-antagonist or sigma-1 receptor agonist because the high seems to be "dreamy" and sometimes i exeperience a moment of clarity on kratom, much like on DXM
 
so i took 3 grams in capsule form,
i'd eaten 2 small burritos 1 hour previous and had had 3 hits of higher potency weed right after the capsules and got a nice +1 feeling of intoxication

+1 hour aprox so far very nice, light high the best descriptions i've heard used are it's like the beginning of a nice mdma or 2c-b come-up with no real psychedelic effect, i'm going to take a another 1 1/2 grams soon and see what happens
 
i should say some might compare this to a nice, stimulated, quick thinking light alcohol intoxication. but i can't say because a have never really been drunk since before i was 18 so i can't say

i'm interested to see the difference in a stimulated light mid level intoxication compared to a higher dose sedation, correct me if i'm wrong but alcohol has the same effect on some?
 
it's nothing like alcohol for me. alcohol is messy, cranky, wild, and stupid, while kratom is dreamy, euphoric, and stimulated
 
None-modest opioid tolerance -> 2-4 grams

Mild opioid tolerance -> 5-7 grams

Moderate opioid tolerance -> 8-10 grams

Heavy opioid tolerance -> Don't expect anything from Kratom other than stimulation, stick with <10 grams.
