Kratom The Kratom Megathread

Status
Not open for further replies.
This has happened very predictably since Ive been taking it with less and less days in between to the point the last few times its been as crap as taking valerian root. I tried to increase the dose to get the old effects but it didnt work. It just made me feel fuzzy and not in a good way just like a blunted mist or fog in my perception.

Going only 2 days in between uses really blunted it off.

So Im taking a break now and looking at other siminlar herbs to fill the void and complement kratom once I can back into its -hopefully by then- loving arms. Its like a friend you have seen to much and gotten sick of their company :( you need some time apart.

Does anyone feel like when they take plain leaf they are often frustrated in that they keep wanting to feel more high and redosing without ever quite getting to wherehtey want to be??

Sometimes it happens to me and sometimes it doesn't.

Depending on the day I may be totally satisfied with my high all day or I might be chasing it all day long like today.

Could it be that because I took UEI extract last Saturday and Sunday that my tolerance is higher now even though I only did it 2 days?

And if that's the case then will my tolerance go down a bit since I don't have any more extract life but will only be taking plain leaf??


What do people here tend to do when they can't reach the Kratom high they want??

I've been drinking grapefruit juice but it doesn't increase the high that much I've found, maybe just a little bit.

Has anyone else found any other potentiators to work well for Kratom?

I've been using Kratom again for the past few weeks for opiate addiction. It works so well and it's so non intrusive to your life. KRATOM in my opinion would be better than methadone by any standards. Less addiction, less compulsive...
I sometimes get my born red vain and it's much more stimulating than a white vein. Then again I get some red vain batches that I have HAD TO lie down for because the sedation and nausea is too much. It's definitely all about the batch potency. I've went through an entire 23g bag in a day and then there were times where I only had to take as much as 8g.

I don't think extracts are bad news if you only use them once or twice a week, but if more than that I could see why they would be.

There bad news if your trying to use kratom to get rid of a habit or want to use kratom daily without awful withdrawals. Regular leaf has neglible withdrawals at the 24 hour mark for me if I don't dose another 5 grams, but it's just the slight sniffles and lethargy. I've heard horror withdrawal stories when someone gets really hooked to extract, and naturally, they are going to be more addictive in nature.

I agree. The really amazing thing with kratom is that LESS IS MORE, so it's completely not compulsive in nature as far as redosing goes. Also, I have no issues at all with constipation or the majority of side effects I'd be dealing with while using real opiates, especially methadone! I never think about my next dose of kratom in the hours after taking it, I guess because it's taken orally there is no real "fiend" to it. But I would think about my next shot 10 minutes after shooting up. And it would be the only thing on my mind, watching the clock, waiting a few hours so I could get another rush.

Yeah I get that for sure.

I only use Kratom 3 times a week max so I guess if you can keep an extract to once or twice a week it's ok but if not I can see why that would be a problem.
 
Kava isn't banned here at all only in high certain high aboriginal areas
 
We can get all the codiene we want here in aus but kratom is black banned ! Go figure ...joke
 
Its weird, I had to try Kratom about 3/4 times before I got the effects I was after. Once the magic happened I was pleasantly surprised, certainly wasn't expecting it to be so lovely. Imo it's very medicinal and functional so its definitely got a place in my stash. Green Malay has been excellent in the morning/midday to help me fly through tasks with ease. Been suffering with really bad social anxiety from January - April, still present here and there but only mildly, and Kratom is brilliant for this purpose. It doesn't necessarily eliminate anxious thoughts, but it promotes calmer and more rational thinking which help to overpower any anxiety.

Stupidly broke my toe a couple weekends ago whilst tripping in the forest (didn't realise until the day after, who knew psychedelics could be such good analgesics lol), anyway my doc has only prescribed me with co-drydomol...doctors where I live are very strict regarding medication. Perhaps that's a good thing in the long run. Anyway, I've found Kratom to be a great painkiller in the past so hopefully my Green Thai + extract will arrive tomorrow. Heard good reviews about the Thai so will be interesting to see how it compares to the Malay I used before. I'm not sure if I can mention the name of the extract as it might be classified as source discussion but it really is truly excellent. I can have an addictive personality at times.but thankfully due to the reason I really respect the properties of this amazing plant and what it has to offer, I don't really find myself fiending for it or having any cravings at all. Still I have read many addiction stories so its still good to be careful.

A question to those of you who make kratom teas - what do you add to the tea to make it taste less foul? Green Malay wasn't as bad as MD kratom, and for me gives best effects in tea form, but was still pretty gross :(

I think most will agree that orange juice is the way to go with kratom. Kratom tea and Sunny Delight go together pretty well. Yeah, it still tastes gross, but not nearly so bad. I also liked it with cran-ras and straight cranberry juice. I love cran-ras, tho, I could give up all other fluids barring soft apple cider for it. Not giving up good, fresh cider for anything. Thinking about it makes me miss September/Early Oct.
 
4 *15mg codienes washed down with some promethezine GFJ n Clonazepam gets me where I wanna be anyway no need for 20
 
I had a question about whether or not a certain after effect I've gotten could be EXTREMELY mild Kratom withdrawal and if anyone who does Kratom has gotten this before:

I take Kratom on Saturdays and Sundays most of the time and occassionally Wednesdays but never more.

So last week I didn't take Kratom during the week and on Thursday I was a little more tired than usual.

Nothing really big, but it felt to me like it feels when I am in a bit of caffeine withdrawal cause I haven't had enough coffee cause I drink a SHIT load of coffee.


A couple weeks ago it also happened where I didn't take Kratom during the week and on a Wednedsday I got really tired and slept most of the day and thought I was a bit usually tired, more than usual.

However, I experienced no offer side effects at all, the tiredness was the only one and I am a guy who frequently gets sleepy so I don't know, but I am just curious if anyone has experienced that effect as Mild Kratom withdrawal??

I thought maybe since Kratom often lasts in the system about 48 hours that mid week when it left my system I might be getting tired from a mild Kratom craving.

And if that IS Kratom withdrawal what do you guys suggest I do as a remedy?

I mean it wasn't bad in the first place so maybe it's not necessary I do anything and it might have just been normal mid-week fatigue.

I never take Kratom more than 3 days a week anyway.
