Idk man with low tolerance it can last like 8 hours but after a few weeks the buzz is strongest for the first few hours.

What strain did you try OP? I'm a big fan of the Red Vein variety but all strains have their unique magick to them.
Green Bali powder

Yeah my main problem is that the buzz wears off very quickly, but things like the nausea and headache will stick around potentially alot longer than the high especially if I try to redose the same day or even once per day several days in a row.

The green is awesome but it doesn't help my back pain.
Have you guys ever mixed strains? Ie: 5 grams of green and 5 grams of red??

For longer lasting effects, try capsules. They take longer to come on but once it does, the effects last far longer. To mitigate the slow come up with caps, sometimes I split my dose and will take, for example, 6 grams in caps + 4 grams SnC. Get effects in 20 minutes that last 5 hours.

It's alright. I like it more for its stimulant and Euphoric effects than its opiate buzz. I've never got much of an opiate like buzz off it before, even when taking 10 grams. This is probably due to my huge opiate tolerance though.

Yeah maybe I will try that if I end up getting some again. I am trying to jump off of suboxone soon, so maybe it would be nice, but in the past I have regretted it. Like alcohol it will help a bit at first, but later on I regret it. The other thing is just that I think having all that plant matter sit in my stomach causes me alot of discomfort, so I think maybe getting an extract/tincture might help too.

Some people report good experiences with extracts, but I don't like them. I get much better results from 10g plain leaf than I do from a 20g equivalent dose of extract.
I love kratom but it's not for everyone. If its causing you discomfort or hangovers, it's not worth it. But maybe you need to experiment a bit & find out what works for you. Good luck with the taper.
Anyone ordering from kraken kratom: definitely post up your reviews of their leaf, as I haven't seen any yet. It's a bit expensive IMO, but I'm curious. Last week I bought 1.1 lbs (500g) for 47$ shipped. I'm hoping more vendors start stocking quality powder for cheap.

Shit. I hope it's not like kava for me. I bought the powder and made tea. The shit fucked me up for days with a hangover and I didn't even have that much.

Good call. I do this with caffeine and it takes the guesswork out. All this talk has convinced me of getting a next day delivery on my order.

I'll def post a review tomorrow when I can use a friends scale. Today I just measured out a half tsp, my guess is it was 4 grams maybe?

I just tried kratom for the first time a couple months ago. It has easily became one of my favorite herbs, right along with my love for coffee. I have maeng da right now.

Emerald Thai has been my favorite that I have tried thus far. Maeng Da is good but doesn't give me that energy and motivational boost that I like in my mix.

I never use kratom alone. I always use it in conjunction with coffee and weed/dabs. Kratom makes me feel like I am on a roller coaster. I get these waves of euphoria and sensations in the body.

That sounds like a hefty dose for someone who hasn't tried it before (assuming you haven't by the fact you sound surprised by its effects)
I personally stuck to about an 8th at a time when I was taking it with occasional half gram or gram additions throughout the day

Where was this thread six months ago. I feel so left out and wrong for not having tried it yet. This sounds like something that must be in the sight of an illegality scope.

A half teaspoon is like 1-1.5 gram(s).

Yeah I generally take about 2 hefty sized teaspoons and that seems to do the trick.
