I've been thinking about ordering some...either that or some Lotus.
Ordered some Calea Z. once, enjoyed the subtle effects of taking it while awake...although, taking it before sleep did nothing but cloud my dreams.

that's strange, calea usually works pretty good. you should talk to tomk on the board sometime. but yeah, get some kratom anyway.

Hi, i need a quick answer (PLZZZZZZZ ) How long does it take to peak on Kratom? So i can safely drink another cup but i only want to do it when i know that the effects are still on the onset... I?m now 30min into in and its really not bad as of yet... also, does an opiate addiction lessen the effects of Kratom? thx Rose

This is something i've been wondering too. I highly doubt there's any published info on it, but i've had little time to start a research project like that.
I've seen lots of references to people talking about cross-tolerance. But i'm skeptical. We would need to know if it's first even interacting with opiate receptors. Something i'd like to know very much.

There is a definate cross tolerance, and yes, mitragynine binds to mu (and delta) opioid receptors.

think adding some lemon juice to the water would make it better? don't see how it could hurt.

Yes there are journal articles published about mytraginine and related alkaloids of kratom, those links I gave are to some.
My kratom from mr.kratom arrived, I tried it last night at 5 grams, and now am trying it at 2.5 grams to test the "stimulant" end of the effects. 5 grams was quite stoning and nice. Felt VERY much like opiates, and lasted about 2.5 hours. On a side note, one of my friends simply felt sick for several hours after taking the exact same dosage. I would still recommend trying it out!

Yeah, I've done that before. Seems like it may help. Try it out yourself next time.

Your friend probably got sick because that was too big of a dose for him. Have him try a smaller dose and see what happens. Usually anyone who gets sick just takes too large a dose.
