Kratom The Kratom Megathread

Status
Not open for further replies.
I've gotten the impression in my experience with kratom that the stimulating effects require quite a bit of sensitization to fully realize. Kratom affects me a lot differently now than when I first started. I have a lot stronger of an effect with a smaller dose and feel myself brimming with physical energy that I never really felt when I first started using it.
 
such a huge thread my god

what strains are you guys using that promote, energy, relaxing stimulation, better focus and social experiences?

im using maeng da but since doing some research on a kratom forum my mind has gone to mush with all the information and battling over what strains are good / bad blah blah blah

they are saying maeng da is just a fancy name for marketing purposes

I want to keep using maeng da or similar to stronger strains but researching and asking questions over there will make your head explode
 
I've been using various opiates on and off for about 20 years now, depending on availability and price. As far as I know I've tried them all, never shot anything, never will. My tolerance is up there: 2-3 80mg OCs or 2-3 g of heroin snorted all at once to just barely get warm and happy. Never went through wd. My question: I just ordered Kratom KXL Red Extra Strength Capsules. They claim 1 cap is sufficient dosage. Anyone out there with similar experience as me who has done Kratom and give me a clue on what to expect and how much to dose? I'm thinking of emptying 2 caps and parachuting them w/GFJ. Thoughts?
 
dude caps are crap and will drain your pcokets

im new to kratom but know that getting caps from a head shop should be your last resort as the quality is shotty and its massivley overpriced

coming off opiates you need to look into the advanced kratom discussion boards, they do have recomended strains and dsoing protocals for people WD from opiates
 
I'm not in wd. just looking for an affordable, accessible high. I paid 30.00 including shipping for 20 caps, even if I took all 20 that's a big savings from the 200-300$ it cost me to get high on anything else.
 
After trying H, good old Kratom is looking real good in comparison. Good extracts are close enough in effects, less drowsiness and more motivation to get shit done, no shit 4 day withdrawals compared to hell from opiates doing multi consecutive day usage and stopping.

The stim can get a bit annoying, sleep can be effected, duration sucks and the biggest is no nod with Kratom, no matter how high. A shame but im still impressed how close it is to the real thing. Not expected.

Is it allowed for anybody to recommend me some good strong extracts, maybe just name, no source, or not. (I cant deal with 30 gram dose needs for leaf). All the good ones I know just dried up stock wize for some reason. Hope its not the beginning of the end...
 
i havent tried any other strain then meang da

it was pre packaged from a head shop so who knows what the true strain was

im lookig into getting some green maylay in powder when i find a reliable source, i have a few lined up just have to pull the trigger
 
if you're going to use extracts you are going to get nasty withdrawals at some point, hate to warn you but there are plenty of reports on here about extracts and other forums. They are strong (when they are made right) and unlike the plain leaf, you can consume a lot more of the active alkaloids without having the same side effects, creating a much higher dependence than kratom could itself.

look for FST from a reliable vendor, you won't be disappointed but you will most certainly have a withdrawal if you take it constantly for a few weeks or more. kratom extracts are hard to make, tinctures are what you're looking for in general but batches can vary significantly, from very weak to very strong, so make sure to research the tincture from the vendor you are looking at and see how people like it and if the vendor gets reliable tinctures. Tinctures are usually made in bulk and sent out to smaller suppliers who resell them, so they mostly come from a limited amount of sources, so if they make a shit batch, a bunch of vendors may end up getting it as well.

i use kratom once a day usually at 6-8 grams depending on strain. It helps me focus in school and that's about it. I guess my opiate tolerance is just fucked now, however if i don't use kratom i get RLS and diarrhea, so i'm just going to taper it down. My point is that you can get a withdrawal from kratom, particularly if you are using it to come off opiates. For opiate naive users, kratom withdrawal isn't a big deal.

poe - don't buy capsules you are getting seriously ripped off. I sometimes go through 30-40 caps in a day if i'm using kratom the whole day. and it costs me probably $3-4 to do this at most. Buy some 00 or 000 gel caps on ebay or something and buy powdered kratom from a reliable online vendor and you'll save a lot more money.

spot on

im new to kratom but in my research all this is true ^^


my head shop has decent caps, so i went in today and bought him out , should be enough to last me for when my order comes in :)
 
I have tried the UEI and enhanced bali and they really are strong, they are pricey though. I will probably be ordering some tincture sometime to see what the hype is about. Can't go wrong with normal Bali though, I've tried many different kinds but I keep coming back to Bali.

how is bali?

sedating?

im def going for the green mayaly, i want the kratom for energy, focus, anti deprssesion and happyness

i found it a god send ( the little if used so far) so i can imagine the effects of other strains and leafs
 
Bali can be sedating, if it's the morning it can be energizing but yeah Bali is like the vanilla flavor of kratom...can't really go wrong.
 
There's so many other sedating types too. That's part of the beauty of kratom, so much variety and mystery to this wonderful plant. There's SO much we don't know, and there's so many factors in play when it comes to personal use. The same leaf can easily effect two individuals very differently.

We need more research on this plant. I know some guys who're trying to work on isolating some of the main alkaloids in kratom. It's pretty much all guesswork since there's so little known.
