kratom bali report (tea)

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.
