Kratom The Kratom Megathread

[xSound]

Just got 5.5g of Kratom I bummed it off my weed guy who had some. I haven't been to sleep in about 20 hours so I'm saving it for tomorrow. Gonna smoke a bowl and sleep soon. Do you think taking all 5.5g will be a good first try?

^if your kratom is good you may not even need 5g.

I take around 2g to get full effects but i have no tolerance ATM.
For me less is more with kratom

I want the sedative feeling. It's the first time I'm ever trying Kratom.

 

[4meSM]

^ well I'd personally take half the amount, so around 2-3g for your first time but I don't really know the quality of your kratom (it tends to be garbage unless you buy it from a specialized store).
If that's not enough then take a little more.

First timers tend to be less sensitive to the effects. I always hand out 5g doses to people interested in trying it and have never had anyone complain it was too strong or made them feel ill. With semi-regular use you seem to develop a bit of reverse tolerance and need less to get a decent buzz out of it. My standard dose now is 2.5-3.5g sometimes followed by a 1g booster about an hour later to prolong the duration.

I generally don't get itchy from kratom either. The one exception being a batch of green malay I have at the moment. It's stronger than any kratom I've had before, to the point that I think it might be cut with some RC opioid or something... Even 0.5g produces noticeable effects, 1.5-2g producing full effects and anything over 3.5g will have me feeling quite dizzy an unwell. It also gives me pinpoint pupils and causes constipation. My other strains (red and white sumatra) don't really seem to constrict my pupils too obviously, and although they'll prevent me from taking a shit whilst on them they don't jam my insides well into the next day like this malay does.

Any new histamine should work quite well for itching and not make you drowsy. For my hayfever I've got lots of loratadine (claritin) lying around and it works the best out of all the ones I've tried.

I like the itches.

Even with good kratom, some people need more. I wouldn't even feel 5 grams of the best stuff.

Awesome just woke up. I'm gonna probably wait till later in the day/night to try it since I'm gonna have to drive and pick things up in a bit. I saw smoking with it is fine, but is being high before taking it okay? I'm not sure why I feel inclined to ask that, but hey just to be safe. Cause i'm about to light a bowl then eat the Kratom later after errands.

I would like the itching if it was only itching by itself, but I have a history of impetigo, rashes and staph infections and had a recent rash and the Kratom is now not only giving me nice little itches which I like but causing my previously cured Impetigo to pop out again which I obviously don't like.

I'm seeing a dermatologist tommorrow but since I don't want to tell her I do Kratom I'm just gonna tell her I used vicodin for pain and ask her if an antihistamine can allow me to take it without having a rash outbreak.

Ok I just tried 5.5g of Kratom. My first ever Kratom experience. The magic should happen in about 30-40 minutes correct? I've also got some weed with me i may use.

How was it?

Hmm. Itchy, but not bad. I couldn't stop myself from smoking weed with it. lol. So I enjoyed it. xD I feel like I might need more then 5g of Kratom to achieve the really sedated i want. Unless what you said happened with reverse tolerance.

 

[Hammilton]

That clearly wasn't a joke, you were being serious about them being 8mg's and 15mgs not being much of a difference. But it doesn't matter if you CWE.

You're wrong about the bit before the comma, right about the bit after it. The last bit is irrelevant, I'm no stranger to the process. I've used these 8mg ones before, crushed up 40 of them, went through the process. Either way you're needing damn near a whole bottle lol

So I had my first vomit induced by Kratom. I don't have a scale to measure so I've been using tablespoons and ½ tablespoons as my dosage. I believe I took to large of a dose since it only came after redosing. I took 1½ tablespoons which was fine and I felt no nausea or anything. After about two hours I took another ½ tablespoon and then about 2-3 hours later I vomited. I got an ounce baggy and just kinda went from there. Donno how much Kratom powder is in a tablespoon. Anyone got an idea? I realize how difficult this question and estimation is. I'd like to avoid over dosing again.

I plan to get a scale soon since I will clearly need one since I'm adding Kratom to my stash permanently. It's not my first drug of choice cannabis is, but if I'm out of good ole' cannabis I'll just use Kratom sparingly.

Definitely get a scale. That's a pretty high dose, but really the worst thing that can happen is the vomiting.
I get my kratom ground into a very fine powder, and 2 carefully measured TEAspoons is roughly 5 grams. That's a good starting dose IMO.

Enjoy. I love Kratom, especially with weed!

EDIT-I apparently don't know how to properly quote

Lol you just deleted the [ / Q U O T E ] at the end of my paragraph. [Spaces are added so it doesn't quote again. P:] As you can see I re-added it in my reply.

Anyways teaspoons are better for dosage? I will take this advice. I enjoy Kratom as well. I've only had one incident with vomiting. So I'll start using teaspoons until I get a scale. Thanks for the advice. :]

Yeah, if you don't have a scale measure your doses by TEASPOON rather than tablespoon.

I think often a teaspoon is about 1 gram but it all depends on the strain and how finely it's ground.

Dosing in tablespoons will have you take WAY too much, hence the vomiting...

I will use teaspoons now. Thanks. Now I just need to get some red Borneo. Lol.

Does anyone else find that the negative side effects from Kratom increase the higher you dose??

Today I took too much Kratom and got REALLY irritable and started biting people's heads off.

The Kratom irritability is really weird because I'll be in a good mood but still EXTREMELY irritable.

It seems to happen more though after the strongest effects of the high have worn off and I'm starting to come down.

Ahh yes, "opiate rage". It's common amongst all opiates including kratom, the irritability. Could be from too high of a dose, or your just sensitive to the irratible aspects of opiates.

 

[Doldrugs]

Yes, beyond a certain dose (specific to each person) positive effects don't increase but negatives do.
