I had some red dragon and it was by far the strongest sedating strain I have tried. 2-3 grams would give me opiate sickness so I rarely took it.
IF you seriously were taking 50g a day that is probably somewhat equivalent to a harder opiate habit in some ways which explains why you would feel down

Caffeine gives me serious anxiety pretty regularly so kratom pretty much is my cup pf coffee/ tea in the morning 
I sometimes use it for the same reason. To lower anxiety to be able to knuckle down to some work in my desk job.
Back in 2005,I worked a freelance job for remotely for a company who would dole out as much work as I could handle. With Kratom resin consumed, I'd work well into the night with full enthusiasm and eventually earned enough money to get my first house.
A lot is owed to it.

Yeah I start to get dizzy and bad nausea from 40-50 grams and I am coming off a longterm opiate addiction. I don't see how doses that high can even be enjoyable, unless there are other alkaloids at play which I'm not tolerant to.

yeah man I would choke down 20gs at a time in a glass of water. if i was on kratom i could not see straight, i would literally get cross eyed, it was horrible. i just have that personality though that I cant handle drugs that make me feel really good, i'll abuse the shit out of them. but the fact that it is norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor kept me awake and talkative and energetic even though i was physically extra sedated

24 hours after my last kratom dose I would be feeling like a useless piece of shit. watery eyes, achey body, runny nose, lack of focus, anhedonia. was hardly taking advantage of my gym membership, i'd only go like once a week.
i never got addicted to any real opioids so I don't know what that is like but I never want to go there after this experience.

That is impressive man, crongrats! I hope I get the same chance but I may have to move elsewhere to work and save if it becomes illegal

I am amazed anyone can even stomache that much Doesn'y sound enjoyable to me at all but I can imegine how it would help with heavy opiate habits.

I start egtting blurred vision when I near 4-5 grams in one day 10-20 grams would probably have me in a coma or at least semi paralyzed in my own vomit.
Honestly I think kratom is most enjoyable in smaller doses, at least for regular use. Once it becomes illegal I may just take occasional doses when I need to.

That is no doubt just from overdoing it so much. Even coffee or sugar will make you feel like shit if you take too much, moderation is key.

So the tracking said my kratom plants had been delivered yesterday. I went into the post office this morning and they told me the package was in Jacksonville Florida, but is finally on it's way here. 
How long do y'all think some small kratom plants will go without water? The package shipped Sept. 6th, so it's already been over a week...

The vendor will pack them appropriately to ensure safe arrival. I'd give them a good soak when you open them up. Take this time of waiting to thoroughly read up about their care.
Wish I lived in a suitable climate to keep them.. Def keep us posted on their progress!

maybe my kratom will hit me harder now that it's an illegal drug.
I've been thinking the same. Alcohol was a lot more fun when i was a minor and it was illegal. I feel like weed was more fun back when it was taboo. Krato . Wasn't really ever a FUN drug, just the perfect substance to make the day (work specifically) bearable. Maybe when it's illegal the dea will unintentionally have put the FUN back in krafun.

Yeah holy shit that's alot. I would feel like shit on half of that.
I used to be able to nod out on opiates but since my last OD I can't stand to get to that level. I just feel like hell, it's not even remotely enjoyable.

Figured I'd make another post to sign and spread the petition all over. We definitely should try for 200,000!! Please!!
Also, calling your state reps in extremely important! You may also call the DEA offices! Honestly, calling any and everyone in this time would not hurt. The more people that are informed about what Kratom even is, the better/easier this fight will be! You may click the link in my sig for a list of people to call/write!!
Petition and donations (for a law-firm to fight the DEA) are in my sig!!
I can't stress enough how important it is to keep calling and writing! The link in my sig provides some people to call/write!!
Keep on fighting!!

Another update, slightly disappointed that only 400 people showed.
Kratom Supporters in Action An estimated 400-strong gathering of supporters of keeping kratom legal demonstrated in front of the White House yesterday. The American Kratom Association is said to be talking with at least one Congressman and the Office of Attorney General Loretta Lynch. It may be several weeks or months before the matter is finally discussed on the floor of Congress, but the news gives hope that any decisions on the September 30th ban will be tempered by reason and prudence. More news as it comes!
Latest Media Coverage Several balanced articles were published in the last few days!

http://www.painnewsnetwork.org/stories/2016/9/13/kratom-supporters-rally-at-white-house Sign the Petition, Contact Your Rep If you have not signed the petition, please do so and ask others to as well. While the temporary ban may not be averted, Congress would still have to enact a law within two or three years to make it permanent. Within months, this issue will probably be discussed in Congress, and it is better to get ahead of the game now and ensure that this is on your representatives' radar. Therefore, please CALL your representatives and let them know that the DEA's action is an extreme overreach of abuse of power.
To easily find contact information for your representatives: http://www.house.gov/representatives/find/
Petition: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/please-do-not-make-kratom-schedule-i-substance
For more information on how you can be a kratom activist: http://www.americankratom.org/national_call_to_action
Thank you for devoting your energy to saving kratom, and thank you for your support over the years.

 How many shroomery members are actually gonna call the DEA? My guess is close to none.
I agree verbal protest is key, it won't stand against the proposal without some strong verbal backing
