Kratom

[Abideist]

Hey dudes,

I recently started taking kratom in powdered form, just as my curiosity was peaked when a friend offered me a couple of grams one after while washing down some oat sodas.

It was great. Really put a nice twist on my afternoon. So I decided to get some more for myself.

I'm wondering if any other dudes have experienced this plant, or have any recipes they want to share?

So far gulping it down with juice seems to be the best method. thanks

That info sums it up for what I know of the plant. I wish you could smoke it, but apparantly that's not worth the effort.

Can you smoke it?

You can smoke it, but you would have to smoke 15 grams of it to get any effect.


basically the benefits of this plant is it's legality and actual effectiveness.

You safely order this online, or find it in many head shops. The effects are mild to strong, when accurately dosed. But if you're not getting a extracted, pure source you have to consume a lot of it. By a lot, I mean 5 grams minimum.

I hear people saying you can get some mild stimulation through smoking a higher grade super premium crushed leaf if you can tolerate a long hookah session, but if the preferred and fastest method is washing it down with a pill.

I'm trying to find other methods, because it's EXTREMELY hard to mix a powder with a juice, but a little easier if you are making a smoothie. Problem is, you're trying to take it on an empty stomache to absorb all of the alkaloids.

There is a resin, they sell it online only. I've not experimented with this, but if you were planning to smoke, this seems like the best option.
