Is there a good source for kratom that someone could recommend/provide a link to?

Check your messages. I'll pass on what was sent to me.

Thanks!

I just put in an order as well. Getting a sampler pack. Will be back to update.

I'm renewing my interest in Kratom and find this thread very informative. Everyone still taking it that are mentioned here? I'm looking for a strain to calm overall pain and an uplifting in my being. Some other friends on another group are talking about it...thanks all. C

I had gathered information from a RLS forum I was on before I knew I had PN. Many posters there use Kratom. The consensus was:

"Red Borneo powdered leaf variety seems to have the highest pain-killing and sedating properties. In general the red vein varieties are best for evening, green and white are generally better for daytime."

also, which might be of interest;
Kratom works within a half an hour if dissolved in orange juice first first, and let it sit for twenty minutes. Kratom is not water soluble, but does dissolve in acid: hence the use of orange juice.

I must reiterate that this information is not from personal experience but I do plan on using it if and when I order this.

From a Devil's advocate standpoint. It can be a counterintuitive form of therapy. Something to consider as well....

It is so weird (and entertaining) reading articles that source from websites. Some of the quotes had me laughing, perhaps inappropriately.

I think the moral of the story is that people react to drugs and even foods differently and if you don't know the source of your product, well, who is to say it is what they claim it is.

I may try Kratom at some point if things get haywire enough, though I am truly hoping that I will get approval for regulated mmj.

I hope that anyone who tries this product out doesn't have the Shaq experience.

Caroline, I've been using kratom for over a year and have nothing but good to say about it. It's available from many online vendors in various strains. I personally don't find much qualitative differences among those, only that some are stronger than others.

If you'd like recommendations for good vendors please feel free to send me a PM.

Also in re the link to that website article... there has been and doubtless will continue to be lots of sensationalistic media commentary about this rather simple herbal remedy. I would take it all with a huge grain of salt (i.e. in re the anecdotes about its effect on sex or anything else) and urge people just to try it. When purchased from a reputable vendor (I'd extend the PM rec offer to anyone reading this) it's perfectly safe and not nearly as expensive as MM or to be sure many prescription meds. Once you give it a shot you can decide for yourself.

Thanks I'm not on FB so can't go there to read. Tried to join an online Kratom group and was having trouble registering. That happens too often...So I give up. Since one can't talk to vendors, it seems, a starting dose would be 1/2 tsp or less a few times a day. This is MOSTLY for overall pain. I'll PM later.
