1st time Kratom

It seems I’m back to experimenting and enjoying it. I probably did not think about tripping for years until a few months ago and a “shroom on the whim” night. I have taken shrooms once since then and the Internet has fulfilled my need for further exploration of the planets best. Once limited to various tribes scattered throughout the world, today, many plants at a key stroke away bringing the shamans’ knowledge to one tribe: Humans.
In college, I had access to plants and chemicals that are still fairly obscure at this point in time, but were unheard of in 1995- 2000. At least were unheard of to 99% of people I met. I turned a few people on but mostly if I talked about them, people just sort of laughed about how crazy I am.
Well here is my first experiment with Kratom.
Preparation: 20 grams(crushed leaves) lightly boiled for 15 minutes twice. Producing approximately 32 ounces of material.
NOTE- I thoroughly enjoy the challenge and task of preparing substances as much as I enjoy the experience itself.
0:00- had no plan to consume any of this brew until I had several glasses of wine.(alcohol: the true gateway drug). I chug 16 ounces with no problem.
0:15- I smoke a cigarette and feel great. Its coming on slowly but I feel more upbeat and loving. Speak to Aunt on phone and give directions, as she will arrive at my house in 20- 30 minutes with her two kids.
0:30- Quite a rush. I feel a bit awkward as family to be here soon and I’m cooking dinner.
0:45- Aunt arrives with kids. Hug them and help them inside. Rationalize: Aunt did just as much drugs as me when she was younger. I feel like a master of conversation and any guilt I had subsided, as the atmosphere was truly loving.
1:00- 1:45- I cook my ass off. The finished product is some of the best steaks you’ll have at home, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, and garlic bread. I am feeling very task oriented and totally with it mentally. Enjoying myself. Social and articulate.
The next few hours: I feel great and have 1 glass of wine slowly. No regrets. Luckily, it seems that I could pull this material off in any setting.
5:00- Fuck it, I chug the rest.(16 ounces) The rush was not there but I feel very numb. Any emotional, mental, or physical pain is long gone. Laying on the couch watching TV is phenomenal. I go to bed early and have fun dreams in which it seems that I can control.
In conclusion: I give this 2 thumbs up. It is a bit subtle if it has to be. When I layed still it activated a stronger buzz. It lifted all the stress from me and I woke up feeling great. I have already ordered more and can’t wait to introduce it to my wife. With a little alcohol it felt like 2 40’s of Old E and a few vicodins.

Was there any resemblance to an opiate/opioide buzz? And what other plants and chemicals do you know about that aren't well known now?

Yes, Kratom has very similiar effects to opiates, and has been used as a substitue for Opium for addicts.
grasscity.com has some cool herbal smokes as well as Kratom.

It definitely resembled some experiences that i have had with vicodin, which i try to stay away from. It also had a stimulating side to it which i don't remeber the vic's having. It felt more natural to me. (could be in my head)
Sorry if i sounded like i have some new knowledge on different plants/ chemicals. Erowid more than covers my experiences by far.
I have tried the following- DPT, GHB, Yohimbe, Opium lettuce, Opium, BZP/TFMPP combinations, Kava/Kava. Salvia was around but i still don't have the balls to try it.
This was back in my college years. I also have experimented with all of the usual suspects as well.

I never have understood the warning about salvia. Here in Florida its legal and they sell it in the head shops and I've smoked 50x extract and had a less than moderate trip. I smoked 4 bowls to the face and just got extremely giggly and I drooled a bit. It's all the tripping of other drops with the euphoria - you're not missing anything.

No dis, but i thought salvia took you to places far beyond your description darkside. Do i detect i hint of sarcasm? Never heard of 50x either but thanks for the test.

Sounds like a good experience, i might give it a try sometime.
Salvia always sends me into some alternate dimension, and thats just a few hits of 10x. From what ive read and heard tho, it depends on the user, some people dont feel it while others trip face. If you've ever smoked pot, dosed shrooms or lsd id say giving salvia a try. Only lasts a few minutes and is pretty enjoyable

do you guys get the OE high gravity? there is a huge difference.
im not a light weight by any means but 2 40's of the HG get me pretty wasted. i usually drink both within 30 minutes though.

ive been meaning to get some kratom but havent been able to get my hands on some even though its perfectly legal, sounds worth it, i think you would have better results snorting some kratom powder than boiling and drinking it though.

If you would like I can take a picture of all the extract levels at my local head shop. No sarcasm intended. Salvia is exactly like I described. Salvia gave me a head rush but I just got "retarted" for a lack of a better word for about 5 mins. I've done its 8 different times- 25x, 40x (4 times), 50x (2 times), and I did a low 10 extract my first time. I'm sorry but I fail to see its better side.
Also EDIT from my last post: I meant to say - It's all the tripping of other drugs withOUT the euphoria and good spiritual feelings - you're not missing anything.
