Hey guys, hope you're having a good day.

Sadly, I just heard about kratom for the first time today. I'm planning on getting an ounce of Maeng Da some time in the next week. From everything I have read, I think I am really going to enjoy it. When it comes to "daily" types of drugs (i.e. not shrooms / LSD), I really enjoy both opiates and benzos. Only problem is that I am being tested for them now by my parents, and Kratom doesn't show up on regular tests.

I'm excited to try this :D
 
Kratom is pretty good but it definitly doesn't have the euphoric punch that even weaker opiates like codiene and tramadol have. That being said it should still be treated like a full on opiate. It is a mild, relaxing, and relatively cheap drug. enjoy!

How many grams did you do? From my reading, the effects really depend on how much you take. Apparently lower doses typically produce a more stimulant effect, and higher doses produce a sedative opiate high.
 
I find kratom more euphoric than codeine, but maybe not tramadol if were talkin no tolerance. Nah he's right, the thing with kratom is increasing the dose beyond a certain point yields negative effects like nausea and dizziness, you can only get so high from it. For me, the effects top out at ~25mgs of hydro equivalency, though less euphoric than hydro. If you have little tolerance though you will like kratom alot. Start at 3-5g imo, don't dose too heavily your first time or you'll feel like shit

Hm ya I see what mean about only being able to get so high without just throwing up and feeling shitty. First couple of times I did hydro I threw up. I guess just like usual, I'll start low and find my comfort zone. Thanks for your advice!
 
Just like OP,i only recently learned about Kratom and that was only because i joined BL.It seems its quite a thing in the US but in Europe,especially around where i live,almost noone have heard of it.

I wonder if kratom would be suitable(or even do anything) for a typical long term opiate user.If you do H and benzos,is there any purpose of purchasing kratom?
Would it produce some alternative positive effects,or should it be only used as a WD tool from hardcore opiate habits?
 
I heard that Kratom is very mild.
Good for those with low tolerance.
Like getting high with codeine or similar

Nah, if you've got a significant tolerance you'll only feel the stimulant alkaloids of kratom... maybe a little mood boost and an increase in motivation. I would still keep some around for withdrawals though, kratom should be in any opiate addicts WD kit imo.
 
I like kratom a lot... it has a certain enjoyable aspect that I don't think any other opiate (like) drug has. Maeng Da is my favorite strain, and I like mixing it with alcohol. Have fun!
 
In my opinion its not worth the time and hassle, unless you enjoy eating the leaves raw.
 
Kratom is actually a multifaceted plant, in terms of recreational use.
I can tell you that it has its upsides and downsides, like any other. But!
More specifically, Kratom has been self-limiting in my experience, due to its small window of desired effect, in terms of dosage.
When I started 2 months ago, I was taking roughly 2-3g per dose, 2x/day (morning & early evening).
I found this to be an exceptional substitute for caffeine, to help get me through my work day and such, and increase positivity.

2 months later, and I'm still at the same dose, and I still feel it every time. Only on a couple occasions have I gone for the "sedation" effect, for sleep: and it worked - but was not the feeling I was looking for.
I spent almost 10 years slamming Heroin, daily. I have been clean from all drugs for a year now, and yet my moods and comfort level in general life just wasn't coming back to me. I've worked hard to get where I am: exercise, spirituality, relationships, honesty, optimism..yet still get dragged down by seemingly innocuous things that border on depression, and 2 months go they reached a point that was threatening everything I'd worked for.
So I took matters into my own hands and started a very specific supplement regimen, including DLPA, Kratom, Mucuna Pruriens, and various others.
I say all this because I want to make it clear that Kratom can really benefit you if you have the right intentions in mind. Shock value, in terms of overwhelming effects, hasn't been an effect of Kratom that I've sought out - unlike my time with H and Meth as well.
So be careful, and remember that dosage is very sensitive. Less truly is more, with this amazing plant.

Please note: I am not implying that daily use is appropriate for anyone. It is often suggested, by experienced consumers, to consume Kratom in an equal ratio of "days on" to "days off", preferably 2:2. Be careful and safe!

First of all thanks for the information and sharing your knowledge, I appreciate it. Second of all big congrats on turning your life around man that really is impressive and I respect you for that.
 
I actually just tried kratom out recently too, and it's actually pretty enjoyable. Just gives me a nice mellow relaxed feeling with some anti anxiety properties, nothing super special, but nice.

Note: opiates are not my DOC and I have no tolerance, so that works in my favor I guess
 
it really is amazing for opiate WD ! i have a crazy tolerance to opiate drugs! but found that kratom can really help with WD, anxiety, depression, and pain relief! im trying to get it in bulk now so i always have it :)
 
I had been meaning to try Kratom for a while now too, but never knew enough apart from the usual on wiki.

This is sort of an all information thread! Good job, guys. Thank you!
 
I've taken kratom for very long but haven't used it in a while so as I remember, I went from a year long 24g's + and had no withdrawl and felt fine only a runny noise and at max a very slight head ache that cannabis can solve easy as I remember like I said. Now if you want a true high then do as I did; first take a bit of xanax but becarful you can die if you don't got a benzo tollerences. Anyways, take about .5 to 1mg depending on your body and how you do on xanax. Then take kratom about 15g's (depending on tollerence) if that's to high take about 10-12 whatever gets a good opiate like high because the xanax makes it feel more like a true opiate, well, at least for me that is.
