Kratom - less is more

I have been taking kratom for years. I used to do 8 gram doses and over time have reduced my dose to like five grams and get way better effects.
This plant is great I feel euphoric and I use it every day. To all you noobies out there less is more so do smaller doses and you get better effects without any side effects.
Does anyone here have any tips to get the most out of their kratom? Do you guys think the less is more thing is true?

I agree. I get a pretty strong Maeng Da strain from my vendor. I like it a lot. My preferred dose is 2.2g. I don't have any real tolerance and make sure I don't use kratom every day. I also try not to redose very much the same day.

Nothing is wrong with using kratom every day if you do it medicinally and not to get high.

No it's not. It may be kind of true for a lot of people but definitely not everyone. When I started taking kratom I started with the 5-7g suggested and for months of dosing every once in a while and dabbling in that dose range I thought kratom was useless cuz I never felt anything from it. When I finally worked my way up to 12g, which before that point I thought would be hopeless, it turned out 12g was my sweet spot and a year and a half later with daily dosing my tolerance hasn't gone up at all really.
Kratom is a really unique drug - I think the average dose for most people is like you pointed out 5-6g, but people can get effects from as low as like a gram, whereas I don't really feel anything until 12g. Since I dose around the clock daily, I sure wish less was more with me! I'd save a lot of money that way lol, and toss and wash wouldn't be quite as annoying (I can toss and wash 12g at once with ease now), but still tossing less krat at a time is inevitably easier.
I've never nodded from kratom either, and while I do like the stimulant effects I do wish I could nod from it sometimes. I'd be kind of interested to know for the ritual kratom users how their tolerance has developed. Like I said for me I don't need to dose more for the same effects, in a way the effects kinda cap around 14-16g maybe, but it never feels like the first times of course. I'd consider that more just getting used to the effects rather than what is traditionally thought of as tolerance.

If done in the right setting I can see MDMA being used for therapeutic purposes.

I also used to take pretty large doses of kratom. Now I just average around 2.5grams around noon; and I notice it providing me with relief all day.
I notice if I give myself the entire morning to be sober before dosing; then I appreciate the small dose I take even more.
Kind of like abstaining from cannabis till the evenings.
