for one, I personally trust shulgin when he says 1mg = oral threshold.. that's why I don't understand the 300 million trials with sub-miligram doses.
eCsTaSy NoN sToP, my man, I can assure (!) you, Shulgin was either not quoted right or he has lost his mind. I know for sure that it is active at 400ug and probably less than that! 650ug had me tripping pretty good today. I don't think it lasts as long as people claim it to last though.
I have had to "abort" the trip with 200mg of Kratom alkaloids because of severe back pain...

Worst back pain I have ever had in my whole life actually. I also had severe pain in other jonts (I have a chronic medical condition, the drug didn't make these symptoms pop up out of nowhere, but it definitely has a strong influence on them!) and my digestive and urinary tract felt like shit as well. Totally tripped out, like someone poured nitrohydrochloric acid through my body.

We're talking about a low dose here. I don't think I have ever experienced these symptoms to such an extent at such a low dose with any other psychedelic. Body load does seem to be very strong with this one. I mentioned before that there was some nausea present as well. Very little though.
Btw, the trip was fun, peak is reached at about 5 hours after ingestion, effects get weaker at the twelve hour mark I'd say. It might just be me getting used to the effects though, it felt like it got less intense, but then again, I've never had such a long trip before... It's T+15:30 now and I think would still feel pretty tripped out if I wouldn't have ingested the Kratom.
1mg should hit the spot for me! Pretty sure about that, probably comparable to about 17mg of 2C-B, unless the dose response curve is much steeper like fastandbulbous expected it to be. I am not giving out recommendations here because I might have built up a tolerance (!!!), but I will most likely go for 1mg on the voov experience next week.
If I still feel lingering effects tomorrow, I will make sure to inform you guys about it, unless Blowmonkey would rather have me not doing it.
