grind it up real real fine. the leaf seems to take a loooong time to fully break down in your body. if its lasting too long, eat something fibrous to help push the plant material through you. 8g of leaf sometimes lasted all day when taken in the morning, and I would wake up high the next morning and throughout most of the day until I had a heavy meal.
good stuff though, I hope you enjoy

i got 4ozs yesterday and tried it for the first time.i ground up 5 grams at first and poured the powder in the middle of a peanut butter sandwich and ate it ate 3:30 yesterday.at the 1 hour mark i could tell i was speeding quiet nicely.i then took 3 more grams and boiled the leaves for 45minutes and drank the bitter juice'blaah'.at the 3 hour mark i started slowing down and getting the feeling i was gonna puke.i jumped up and poped a dramimine.i set still for another hour and the bad feeling passed.today i feel hungover bigtime and i'm still real tired.i have a strong urge to do more 2nite but i know i don't need to.i have mixed feelings about this plant,kind of like the physical effects of kratom.expect mixed feelings.

Dont do too much. Too much for me ended up being 2 tablespoons. I felt like I was having an opium overdose, mixed with meth. Not fun at all. On the otherhand, a little under 1 tablespoon full is just right for me and feels great. I just eat it with some warm peppermint tea. So much easier than any extractions or teas, and works just as well IMO.

I'm thinking of either buying the dried kratom leaf or the wild lettuce resin extract. Which would you say is better and how do they differ?

Kratom all the way. It is a powerful drug for sure... They dont compare at all IMO....its like taking a asprin compared to oxycotin.

Wild lettuce=Short lived almost placebo high. About 30 min.
Kratom=Long lasting, euphoric and energetic ally. Can last over a day but you can dose it to last as little as 3 hours.

I wouldn't call kratom long lasting, it's rather short lasting, at least for me. My friends feel the same way.

ah, cool man. i usually buy from there also. yeah, so you'll probably be able to feel it at around 2-5 grams. i, myself, would go for about 5-8 grams or so with no tolerance. but it could vary.. more or less.. so it depends..

Hey All, I am also getting my Kratom in a few days. My question is:
I have heard that low doses of Kratom tend to produce stimulant effects, while the effects of higher doses can be compared to those of opiates. As one takes equal to or over the dosage point where the euphoric / opiate effects become apparent (vs. just the stimulant effects), do the stimulant effects persist/become stronger? In other words if someone takes a strong enough dose will they feel more opiated than stimulated, or simultaneously opiated and quite strongly stimulated?
TIA

Thats weird. All of my friends reported total effects lasting for over 24 hours. We had 6-8g of leaf a piece that time. With 2g or so it would last 4 hours max but the more plant material usually made for a longer experience.

yeah, I usally just make a tea. next time buy the already powdered kind though, it's a lot easier that way. i just make a tea and keep it on low or medium anywhere from 15 mins to a half hour. sometimes i do it twice or thrice to ensure that i get the most out of it. but it isn't necessary to do that much.

i think it feels more like it switches over to more opiated in higher doses, cus you can even nod off if you dose pretty high. or maybe it's just more dominant so you dont really notice the stimulant effects as much.

once it has saturated the 'stimulating' receptors, it seems to move to the mu pleasure receptors

right but, like locus tried to answer, does the stimulant effect persist underneath/simultaneous to that "mu receptor" effect, or is it overpowered by the "mu" effect?

I'm probably gonna buy an ounce of the Dried Kratom Leaf and some Powdered Kanna. Let me know how the Kanna goes and if it's worth the money. How do you guys usually take Kanna (snuffing, smoking, orally)? I think I might just smoke it, but I am not sure how much I should smoke to reach effects. How many doses for a 1st time user of Kratom last me out of an ounce of the dried leaf?

kanna has never worked for me, don't know why. other people seem to like it though.
an ounce of leaf will last i dunno.. 4-7 times if you're not tolerant each time. i mean that all depends though. just buy it and see. small doses vs large ones will make the difference. and if you're an avid and frequent user your tolerance will go right up and you'll be using a lot more than you began with.

I'm going to be ordering this stuff, but for my friend (and I). It's going to be shipped to his house, but he's not 18 yet. If he signed as stating he's 18 years of age is it really going to matter or not? How would they know?

I would not order to your parents house if your under 18? wouldn't they wonder what's in the package? if they found it that could be bad for you and bad for the vendor, there is a reason why they don't sell to people under 18.

Probably not. When I was underage and had access to a check card I ordered quite a bit of stuff I shouldn't have. Never ran into any problems.
But... think of all the trouble you and the vender could get into if your friends parents opened it up.

Well the reason I am sending to his house is because I still live with my parents and don't want them opening the package. My friend's parents are always at work so they will not recieve the package therefore it wil be going to his house. Hope to enjoy this Kratom and Kanna...and Salvia (is the non-standard 6x extract good?).

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.

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

>>also, does an opiate addiction lessen the effects of Kratom?
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.

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!

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.

whoa, Reading these posts, I think I overdid my first experience. Last night I tried kratom for the first time having had no past experience or tolerance to opiates; I took roughly FOURTEEN grams, but I found the sensation was now overpowering at all. I mean, there was definitely a tranqulization of my body (crazy stuff for being legal), but at the dose I took, I'm supprised I didn't make myself sick. I drank it as tea Boiled at low heat approx 20 min the way

I recived my order from mr kratom a little while ago, this stuff seems to be powdered very finely, I just eyed out ~8 grams and mixed it, I'm going to drink it alittle later, after class. What concerns me is that this stuff is supposedily "super primium" and it's very finely ground (like dust) more so ground than other powdered kratom. So my eyeballing might not be entierly accurate...

I just got some kratom last night and I made a tea by pulverizing 5.5g of the leaves and steeping in hot water for 20, straining, then drinking, then I repeated the process. I experienced only light threshold effects from it though. I'm thinking either I have a tolerance, the kratom was weak, or I screwed something up. cause I thought this would be a decent first time dose. I'd like to hear your opinions on what I should do with my remaining 9 grams, I was planning on just putting it in gel capsules.

last night I took 9 grams crushed to powder, swallowed in capsules, and got next to nothing, I'm thinking maybe it was just weak, so I'm gonna try it again from a different source. How was the stuff you got from Mr Kratom, gdman?

I haven't tried, but that would be alot of material to smoke, just use the tea, the oral route is the safest route, for just about everything.

Plain leaf, no. Extract (especially the rock candy looking stuff), smells nice and has a nicely mild effect from not much materials.
But as gumby said, it's not too good to just eat anything you don't know 100% what it is, If it was hemlock you'd better hope to get on a ventilator until the poison is metabolized then you'll be fine.

Hey hey. Just got this today. MrKratom Premium. I put a level measured tablespoon in a cup with boiling water. Drank when cooled. Gritty and mildly bitter.
This is becoming nice. Kinda happy and mellow. Not flat like codeine. Mikey likes it! Mikey thinks it'll go nice with da chronic. I think I like my mu receptor sites being tweaked. 8-). Nice. I may take more in a bit.

That stuff is the shit. One time i tripped on some HBWR seeds. I made a strong as fuck extract with some top quality stuff from maya-ethnobotanicals. I took my last dose of kratom (takes the LSA edge off nicely) right before I came down entirely off of the seeds. Anyways I was at a Moonshine Still bar show on the nod. I mean this was a loud as fuck concert. I was in and out the whole night. I would have these bad ass CEVs and then pass out for a good 15 min. People must have thought that I spiked my mainline in the bathroom or something. Point being; enough kratom is strong as hell. -peace, I'm drunk bitches!

I understand the price to quality relationship but am still a bit confused as to "Mr. Kratom". Any of you guys that have used his product, e.g. the "50 grams: $17.50" deal, what were your conclusions? I'd be interested to know rough dosages with that. From this thread I'm guessing 6-7 grams. There seems to be a notion that the various dosages fall into the categories: 2-3 grams; ~6 grams; 10-14 grams- depending on quality.

hahaha I got to that point too...drinking the sludge is just tooo foul.
There was a post somewhere (maybe in ODD) about someone doing caps and did not find it effective. I tried the tea without leaving in the plant matter, it didn't work very well at all...Maybe there is a better way, or maybe I need to make the tea better.
I hope someone figures this out.

ROTFLMAO. No fucking shit. At first it wasn't bad...now.... gaaak. It's nasty gritty shit. I tried capsules. I find one or two 00 capsules of MrKratom powder to be very speedy. Edgy too. The foulness of the powder tea dreck is making it difficult to abuse this one as much as I'd like. I enjoy that overflow to the mu receptors thing.

It works best with fresh leaves. I recently posted somewhenre here picture sof the leaves and treee. There have been many instances of people selling phony extracts.
First off real leaves have a tea taste to them. A spoonful of sugar does help the medicine go down. First noticible negative effects from drinking and chewing is constipation. I here little of anyone who soes some of these extracts as having constipation.
Real Thom will have the effect of stimuliation of coca and then euphoric effects of opiates. In Thailand it is used b for stamia for long w2orking hours. However, within ina year of steady use, users require twnety to thrity leaves aday. I chewed leaves this summer. made me talk my head off more than I already do and aftter several days I was constipated form chewing two and three leaves a day for about a week before i stopped.
\In Malaysia it is used as a substiture for methadone in heroin withdrawel clinics because it is less addicting than opeiates. In Thailand you can actually get a lo9nger prison term for Kratom than for opium.

yep, I have umm suffered what you said, kratom going around (at least with certain vendors) seems pretty real... it's more the consisatancy of powdered leaves pluse water that makes it quite difficul to get down without gagging.

Yeah the kratom that is going around is def. real. It's active and I def. had the constipation side effects. Like Gd says, it's going as finely powdered dry leaf... Mostly it's made into tea, but if you take the sludge (powdered leaves+water) out then the tea is weak, and if you leave it in, it's totally gag worthy. Maybe a better water extraction can be developed, or an easy route to semi-pure alkaloids? Maybe we should start a whole new thread dedicated to improving kratom ingestion methods. I should have a kilo of dried mr.kratom stuff to mess with this weekend. So I can try diff methods.

ive found the best way to avoid a gag, is get or make a nice thick gewy extract by boiling. then roll it up in a ball once its kooled. take the ball and roll it in flower. then eat the flower ball. all you taste is flower. and it hits you good and hard. this is the way people have been eating this stuff for years and it works great

Yes he does...
So, I tried a lower dose of an extract today...about the equiv. of 2.5 - 3g...it was very interesting how the effects changed.
Definately more like a stimulant than an opiate...still similar "pleasant" feeling...but none of the heaviness or lethargy of higher doses, instead a real alertness. It actually helped me (a little) to do my crappy service industry job. I see why field workers in asia use this stuff. What an awesome and versatile plant!

Indeed. Very addictive psychologically, though. I found myself drinking the stuff almost every night before my stash ran out.
Now i decided i can't afford such an expensive habit, so i'll only order it for special occasions. Next spring i will get me a mitragyna speciosa plant though 
BTW, did you people feel it's much more active if you're alone? I've taken up to 10g out with friends and didn't feel that much altered but when i ate that amount alone i got sooo messed up...

i would highly recommend filtering out the powder from the tea using coffee filters. i have drank some nasty shit in my day, but drinking thick kratom tea with all that powder in it was unbearable. filtering out the powder doesn't seem to take that much of the active alkaloids out as long as you let the powder steep in the hot water long enough. don't give up on kratom though, once you figure out a method of preparation/ingestion that works for you, you'll find that it's some pretty great stuff.

mr. kratom received my payment on saturday, and my order was shipped THAT day. to my surprise, i got my kratom on tuesday. was planning to try it out on saturday but couldnt last, started making the tea at 8am. i put a little over a teaspon (~5g) in about some water and boiled for 20 minutes. added two teaspoons of lemon juice. after 20 minutes, o strained the plant matter. i had about a shot or so of total liquid to drink. i got some oj, took a swig, drank the kratom juice, swalled, and finally drank some more oj. the taste of it reminded me of drinking syrian rue and oj together. even thinking of experience makes me want to vomit. i drank this at around 8:40 this morning. the effects at first werent very much. i started to get very warm, and a slight kratom stone took over me. but with that came nausea. nausea to me is the worst thing in the world. no other sickness compares to it. i cant bear nausea. but i do know of something that will help it, and allow me to function. im sure you know by now, it is cannibus. i heated up my vaporizer and took a hit. the vaporizer gives too much of a head stone, and my head was sick as it was, so i turned it off. i put the rest in a bowl and smoked that. i feel a lot fucking better. the nausea is slightly there, but at least i can deal with it now. i have some more kratom boiling down on the stove, but doubt i will injest that today. i think i need to try less next time or maybe im not cut for this stuff. anyways, this is the longest post i have ever written, and i cant believe the free form of thought i have right now. this is nuts.

yeah it's cool, it's not so much the taste, though it sucks, but when I make the tea I don't strain out the leaf bits (waste not want not, eh?).

update.. kratom rocks. I need to grow this. Change thought, I am going to grow this 
alright, all I can say is that I feel like I am doped up. I put three cups of water in my pot, along with two rounded spoonfuls of premium kratom powder along with a little chunk of kratom resin. I brought it to a boil and then simmered for 45 minutes to an hour. Then I let it cool, and chugged it down. Then I put water in my cup and stirred up all the muck that had settled and chugged that too. Great stuff.
alright, that took me 15 minutes to type, I am getting the hell off of my computer to enjoy this.
see you all later.

How big is this ball that it boils down to?
Also, how did you avoid burning is while boiling it down. WheneverI boil something down to a solid, it always seems to get burnt.

I bought a shitload of Kratom a while back after reading about it and finding a good supplier. I found it rather disappointing, yet potent. Nausea definately was a part of my experience but I think that was from overdoing things. My suggestion is to mix 1/2 & 1/2 with green tea and then brew using carrot juice and a bit of honey or whatever you want to sweeten it with. I would describe the feeling as drunkeness without the euphoria, perhaps a bit relaxing. Great if you have hard work to do, that's its original use anyway. About growing it though, gl. Kratom leaves come from a tree (not an herb)that is damn near impossible to grow in most of the US and slow growing to boot. I should note, I still have about 40g left from my original order in a vacuum loc bag next to my coffee awaiting some unknown fate.

I report what it says. The sacred mushroom takes me by the hand and brings me to the world where everything is known. It is they, the sacred mushrooms, that speak in a way I can understand. I ask them and they answer me. When I return from the trip that I have taken with them, I tell what they have told me and what they have shown me." -- Mazatec shaman

I have experienced no nausea yet. I have been getting intense waves of opiate like feelings. There was no period in which it acted like a stimulant. There are occasion hot flashes accompanied by sweats. Also noted, at first I began to feel the onset of gravity as in a salvia experience, but not as strong but ever so present.
More to come as I progress.

'Our carefully crafted resin acetate contains about 7 grams of water extracted Kratom leaf in every gram. In theory, 2 grams would produce a mild effect, and 4 grams would produce a strong effect,...'
I bought a gram of this resin, and was curious if its refering to that 2 grams of the resin would produce a mild effect or if two grams of the original extract equiv. would ~D

I made tea out of the resin this morning(2 grams resin into 1.5 cup s water), and got extremely mild sensations. The leaf powder is the way to go. Simmer it for as long as you can, last night when I made tea I put three times as much water in it as I wanted and just simmed it off. It was very potent.

If you want to make it last, wait a few days between experiences. You can build up a tollerance fairly quickly. Another fact is that it often produces constipation much like opiates do.

Well I dissolved the 1 gram resin in bout half a cup of cham tea w/honey. Wasn't that bad tasting, like a bitter potent tea. Its been 40 minutes and all Ive experienced is tremendous itching like I have with percs in the past. If this stuff is cold water extracted from 7 grams of dry leaf shouldnt that be plenty for..something? maybe im just anxious/impatient, ill update later =) def going with leaf in the future though. Has anyone ever noticed any loss in quality by purchasing pre-ground product? ~D 3 hours later: Well all in all all i experienced was mild to moderate itching..=\ hopefully no constipation tommorow =P lol 3.50 for an itchy constipated experience, oh well ; ) live and learn ~D

My experience with resin-extract is that it isn't as strong as promised. I have some 6x extract and I have to take about 6-7 gr(= 36-42 gr) of it to get the same feeling as when I use 15 gr powder. Another fact: If you make love on kratom it just takes about 2 or 3 times longer as usual. So don't take too much or your wife starts to get worried and thinks you don't find her attractive anymore
