Kratom leaves Thai

“I consume 3-5 grams of Thai Kratom powder mixed with 3 big spoons of yoghurt and 1 tea spoon of honey (on a not too full stomach). Tastes quite ok. You will feel totally relaxed. However if you try to sleep you'll realise that you are too fit to do so (so only take it if you plan to stay up for 3-4 more hours). If you start being active the Kratom will push you and the more you do, the more energy you feel. I like it at lot.
(A tip: It really takes some time to realise the effects that this herb can have on you. Try 2-3 times and maybe higher the dose before you say that it does no effect...)”
Kratom leaves Bali

“I tried 5 grams of Bali Kratom, just to experiment with it. It gave me a great feeling. My body felt pretty tired, not like after a heavy work-out, but more like 5 hours of doing an exam, straight. So I didn't want to leave my computer, tv, chair and bed (I was glad I had them all next to me!) Yet, my mind was more or less energetic, like a can of energy drink would do to your brains. I became pretty creative and finished two logo's for some events I'm preparing. Anyway, the effect smoothly disappeared after only 45 minutes, and wasn't that strong. So next time I'm going to try more ;) Could be that I didn't feel that much because of my pretty big bodyweight, so, up the dose for me ^^Aug 14, 2009 Piri wrote:
“Feels nice, I studied a few times on it while not getting bored as quickly as I normally do.
However, once I made tea and I definitely became nauseous and threw up, afterwards I felt alright. Didn't need a high dose either (I think 3,5 gram was about my limit).”

“In Thailand I usually eat the fresh kratom leaves - straight off the tree. The taste is extremely bitter and I struggle to get them down everytime. However, once in the stomach, the effect is surprisingly quick to set in. Small dosages (1-5 leaves) tend to get me "speedy", aroused and talkative. Higher dosages (5-20 leaves, consumed at once) have a "downer" effect much like a opium-like state of mind and body. The small dosages work great as a party starter/advancer in combination with alcohol whereas the higher dosages, for me, are incompatible with alcohol. The shredded leaves we get in Europe i would recommend eating. They are, needless to say, not that easy to consume. But dont be fastidious; put a handfull in your mouth and be sure to have plenty of water to gulp it down with. Take another handfull if needed.”

“I made tea out of 4 grams of shredded Kratom leaves from Bali. Gave me a very pleasant, mellow feeling, but the stimulant-aspect is also there. Doing things like housework is no problem, gives you a little energy-boost for those, but keeps your mind in a state of tranquility. Very positive experience.”

“Quite a thrilling plant, it is a many-sided gift from mother nature to mankind. I think Kratom is full of enjoyment with reasonably dosage. I really hope that kratom never becomes a banned herb. This is truly one "Plant of the Gods".
Kratom standardized extract 15X

“First I took ~1g kratom mixed with hot water. After 20 minutes I felt relaxed and had mild euforia. It was very mild effect and I took 1g more. I waited about 30 minutes but the effect was just a little bit stronger than before. Now I took the rest of the bottle (in all 3 grams) and the effect didn´t actually come any stronger. I really enjoyed the feeling I had but somehow it didn't come as strong as I hoped and it lasted only like 3,5 hours. I didn't have any problems with the taste. For me it was as bad as coffee and when the glass was empty I put some more water, stirred and drink the rest of the stuff. All in all I'm little bit disappointed even I liked the effect.”

“I was very astonished how intense Kratom can be. I made a tea - or rather coffee how one of my previous speakers pointed out quite right - of about 8g Kratom and got a real nice high after about half an hour later. The taste is just plain awful. It's so bitter that drinking it without lots of sugar, honey or coke makes your mouth dry and your tongue numb. The effect is hard to describe. On the one side it made me very active and focused, on the other side I felt like I smoked a couple of joints. My mood changed not to a real happy, but content with the whole world and how things are going. A good example to mention might be the last time I took Kratom: I was on my way to a friends house to spend a relaxing evening. Before I left home I drank a cup of Kratom. While sitting on the metrostation the first effects kicked in. I felt like observing the world and the people. I was an isle of calm and contentness within all those rushing and grim looking people. When I was finally there he was watching a sad movie (dont ask me which) and I felt totally compassionate for the protagonist. It didnt really made myself sad, but I felt so pityful for the person that I nearly cried :) Definetly not a partydrug (not for me at least), but great for a relaxing evening with a friend. Seems to me MJ rises the effects a bit.”

“After a long day of partying i had problems with sleeping, so i made some tea out of this, approximately 6 grams. The taste: just plain awefull. Its bitter as hell, i almost threw up. Sugar helps little. But the good part: the effects are quite ok! A nice relax rush, everything feels ok. The rush was comparable with the rush of a light paddo-trip or heavy marijuhana trip, but without the psychicparanoic stuff, so only the good part :) tip: dont use much water, try to swallow the tea at once, after that u'll experience a nice feeling that lasts some hours.”

“It works very fine on an empty stomach. I took 4 grams as a tea (or coffee rather) on an empty stomach and got a nice high, very similar to MJ. I repeted the dosage one and a half hours later and again some one and a half hours later and so on for several hours, and I spent a very pleasant afternoon and evening. Then I had supper and after that I took a new dose, but this time with almost zero effect, and I had to take more than 15g or so, and I had to repeat it to get a nice effect again. So I drank two of these 25g pies to be high from late afternoon to late night. And notice that Kratom is new to me. A little expensive, don´t you think? Well, besides it´s rather expensive, and the fact that you have to take it on a completely empty stomach to get good effect, it´s a great product and it´s a very good alternative to illegal drugs. And the taste isn´t bad either, it tastes very much like coffee, and I kind of like it. You have to use a lot of sugar though, because it´s very bitter. I have to add that it has good effect against depression and anxiety. Kratom rocks!”

“I liked this. Gives me a sort "high". But I had to take the whole bottle (10 ml).”
