[@davebell4623]

I can only speak from my experience. Been using Kratom for about 7 years . I take it daily 4,5 times a day (about 5 grams per dose ) just mixing the powder with water. I discovered it and used it to get off my long term opioid addiction and it worked..I have had no side affects and to get regular doctor appointments..it saved my life and have nothing but good things to say about Kratom

You're addicted friend. It's the lesser of two evils tho when compared to opiates. When take kratom we are red lining our dopamine centers. My question is how are your emotions? And can you go a week without drinking it?

jajaja funny what you say there.........i was 7 months addicted to kratom around 30 gram a day....5/6 times a day 5 gram. The day i wanted to get rid of it......i had the worst withdrawal in my life, it was so bad i went to a rehabilitation center for a month.........since then i went never back to it....and i will never take kratom again. The only think i did in my life was smoking weed thats all. Thats why i found it very funny what you said about ......lived a pretty good life

[@lolawants2008]

@@jacobeberhart7739 have you had your liver or kidneys checked at that level..? I see things that say it can have bad effects on those (so can Tylenol). How do you dose the 25g thru the day? I don’t have a scale but been taking about 1/2 teaspoon (which I think is about 2g) 2-3x a day & mostly drinking in water, not all at once (I have MCAS which means I never know how my body might react & if there are bad side effects I will see them exponentially usually). At these doses/manner of intake I don’t have any high at all, but it helps with overall pain & also PTSD symptoms.. like it feels my cortisol levels are lower. Have recurring trauma & normally right now I’d be kind of out of body dissociative & in a lot of physical pain. Instead I’m not exactly “good” (haven’t been that in many years), but it’s also not Armageddon like it normally would be right now.

[@erosscoe]

Daily user for two years now. At one point was up to 30 gpd but I"ve found a better middle ground on taking 10-15 gpd. Feels a lot better. Everyone is different but I'd say the positives outweigh the difference. I no longer abuse alcohol andother drugs. I wouldn't have it any other way.

I would say that is true. More doesn't make me more focused or less pain-free. Talking about myself here. I have tried that, don't work like that. So about a level tsp. is going to the best. Try also taking an aspirin for pain, if needed. Not a paragon but it is a help.

[@Om999-]

If you keep less intake, specially not so often during day, it will always kick you nicely. But if you want more and more, you lose the effect and satisfaction. I think this is also less is more. I have days when I take 2 teaspoons and there are days when I take 5-6 but never more than that

[@lolawants2008]

That’s definitely what I’m experiencing. When I 1st got it I took more & it was ok but ended up in my cupboards forgotten about. I just discovered again & taking only about 2g with lemon & monkfruit drops (awesome sweetener) in a full 20oz water. Tastes like a lemon or limeade, it’s a low dose that I then ALSO take a while to drink so in this way it’s maybe kind of closer to microdosing. Definitely titrating the dose that way. And I’m loving the effects on pain & my severe ptsd.

[@kyleclause]

Good video, been using it for about 5 years. Used to take up to 20 grams a day and the last 2 years I take 1-3 grams most days. It’s much better at lower doses personally and is very beneficial

[@nickspringer4079]

The main reason why less quantity is effective for you is because youve never been addicted to a stronger opiate..more power to you as far as im concerned but I feel the reason most of us get to those higher dosages and get stuck on them is becasue high doses is a must for that transistion

[@jamesholt4393]

I take a higher dose or low dose 3 to 4 times a day because I transitioned from strong opioids and have no desire to ever pick up a pill bottle again

[@technicalparadise3542]

I use kratom at anywhere between 1 and 6 grams either for focus and energy, or a mild recreational effect. Its just enough of a nice feeling that I have no desire to use harder drugs except for the rare occasion, but it's mild enough to where it doesn't interfere with my daily activities. I use it for a few days, then stop for a few days and experience no withdrawal. For me withdrawals are mild, but very unpleasant and start after about 2 weeks of daily use.

I’ve been using for 6-9 months now. I like the extract shots in coffee, 1/3 - 1/2 the shot bottle. Currently trying to take less and also use weekends to slow down. Because I’ve gotten carried away with it. Ie every day twice a day. For me it’s great , but to stay great we have to take time off of it

[@bert5959ify]

Use 5 grams 3 times a day for a year or so. Mix it with yogurt sometimes or in my coffee. I rotate strains between red, green and white. It’s good for my pain and anxiety issues. It’s either relaxing or hyper depending on the strain. Base it off my work day. Good video. Thanks.

Are you doing better a year later? I've been doing kratom for a few weeks and haven't surpassed 5gpd

[@chasecarter1170]

@@AppleOfThineEye I cut my dosages back by half but still am taking it every 4 hours on the money. Still on it bro, the end is in sight though, I'm going to cut back by half again and then again until i jump off . There's light at the end of the tunnel but the tunnels been long and narrow that's for sure. Don't start doing it daily man if you can help it. Even at five grams per day, once you get accustomed to daily, your body is going to become physically dependant on it and when you don't have it, even at five grams daily, you're likely going to know one way or the other. Maybe not as bad as I notice it but you'll know. It's not worth the trouble man. I'll give you a great quote that helps me sometimes when I think about what I've gotten myself into with this substance. "I quit drinking, for the reason that I started drinking, when it makes me feel better than I already do" , such is the nature of my predicament with this plant. I don't blame the plant AT ALL, the addictive factor and my getting accustomed to taking it every four hours at such large doses is ENTIRELY my own doing, the plant itself is as innocent as a young child, you know what I mean ? It isn't the plants fault that human nature is what it is, some of us have these tendencies to continue usage even when it's causing disruption to our lives and minds and bodies. That's just the nature of being human I think. The plant is amazing and should be respected just as any other medicine should. The reason I started it, was because it helped with pain both emotional and physical. Once the body gets used to the doses you're giving it, tolerance sets in and ultimately it loses the spark of helpfulness it once had. The pain diminishing qualities start to go away, the spark of joy it gives the brain starts to go away. Taking with it some of the joy I would otherwise experience under a sober mind and body. Nothing comes for free in this world, nothing at all. It all comes with a price. Kratom included. Now that I've been addicted so long, it will benefit me to cease my usage altogether and just get back to a regular state of being rather than the state that I am under when I take it. Thanks for commenting back after all that time. Hope you have a fulfilling and enjoyable existence stranger, everyone deserves the chance at living a life worth living. Some people squander that chance and others take longer to make it happen for themselves. All I want for ya is to be careful and concise with your usage of this plant. Don't let it use you, know what I mean?

[@jackLoveX]

I use it everyday, it’s not the best thing in the world but for the positive effects it’s worth more than whatever risk might come from this plant.

That last few years I only use Kratom when I get home from work. I come home in a bad mood, I use hot water and add 2 flat table spoons. It usually helps my back problems and brings my mood up. It energizes me and I don’t fell like I drink as much. I don’t use it on the weekends unless my back is bother me. I love and support it. I get blood work every 3-6 months and after 5 years of using it no problems.

[@lolawants2008]

Hey just fyi I was using Kratom powder & making tea with hot water. Unless you’re steeping actual leaves, apparently heat degrades some of the potency! So if you are using powder & skip the hot water- know it doesn’t mix easily but if you get a cheap hand mixer/milk frother like what comes with MUD/wtr it’s easy. Also lemon, cayenne & other things potentiate or boost effects so if you skip the heat you likely won’t need as much per dose for same effects.

[@kandagalante]

I have diabetes for 20 years, every day I take metformin x3 glibenclamide x1. sometimes the legs feel sore and weak due to diabetes. after I tried to drink kratoom supergreen from Kalimantan, the weakness in the legs disappeared as well as the pain in the legs disappeared, the aches disappeared. Now I'm not taking all diabetes medications. I drink kratoom twice a day half a tablespoon. kratoom makes a little sleepy but doesn't want to sleep. feel relaxed. full of ideas to solve problems. increased sex drive.

[@oneandonlyval]

Did you start out with half a tbsp or work your way up to that? Also do you find it’d super stimulating at that dosage? I’m looking into this for my dad who is also diabetic and needs something for chronic back pain and neuropathy. He’s not needing the stimulant effect that the lower dose provides so I’m curious how much of that stimulant feeling is still present at a higher dose.

First time here in the community love the podcast definitely going to subscribed. Really enjoy hearing other people's opinions about kratom. I myself have been using it for about 3 years now. I used to get horrible panic attacks throughout the day. Ever since I started using Kratom. I don't take large quantities I usually consumed about an ounce every 3 day. I like to switch trains from whites to Greens and sometimes even reds . I think the key to kratom consumption is moderation. Though unfortunately I have seen the negative sides of Kratom. Which would be the horrible withdrawals that come with it after consuming it for a long time. For me the most unbearable is the body aches.

[@lolawants2008]

For any plant medicine or supplement- it’s really important to take breaks. If you do it right you should be able to avoid any withdrawal. Some take one day a week off, some a week every couple months, things like this. It helps the medicine be more potent for you & also helps preemptively to avoid withdrawal symptoms

[@Beats-By-Anthony]

For almost 3 years now, I use 2 grams in the AM on an empty stomach. Everyday! I drink it with 2 cups of coffee. It kickstarts my day, kept me creative and overall happy.

Apparently that threw off my tolerance and I started waking up at 3am with withdrawal symptoms. So,I bought a red strain to go back to sleep. Idk,my journey with this stuff is nothing compared to my years of narcotic and alcohol abuse which I'm free from thanks to Kratom.

One thing is probably that you make a tea. The tea is known to be much less addictive because the powder contains 7-hydroxy-mitragynine. And it is way more addictive than the mitragynine in a water extract solution like tea. So as long as you are filtering out the plant material powder before drinking, then you may not experience withdrawal.

Nice job with this. Intelligent and modulated. Just one thing: Alcohol is a depressant, not a stimulant, even though it may not feel that way sometimes.

[@lolawants2008]

Alcohol is both. Yes it’s a central nervous system depressant however it also has stimulant effects “Alcohol, particularly in the early stages of consumption acts as a stimulant on the central nervous system. It triggers an increase in dopamine levels. This speeds up the heart and respiration rate, and can increase energy and confidence, lower inhibitions, and improve mood.” I actually did an experiment when I was like 10 & discovered this for myself- I mad a maze for rats & tested the effects of alcohol (seems like a pretty adult science experiment lmao but it happened). The dose was white zin wine (all I could get my mom to buy haha), just a few drops. Consistently for a period of time after ingestion it would make them get thru the maze in half the time as sober. Only later did it slow them down.

I bought some Golden reserves. I took about 2 grams, got shaky and my sleep was horrible! I woke up every 3 to 5 minutes. Now Im scared, but really want to try it to get off these damn pain pills! Maybe I should try a different kind? Any suggestions please?

[@jackiejames3898]

Take the red strain. I got off serious pills taking kratom. You need to find quality stuff.

[@travisevans7502]

I was addicted to pain pills for years and it helped me get over the withdrawals started with 1 teaspoon full ended up needing 2 teaspoons to ease the withdrawals it's been over 5 years now but I still take kratom about the same amount I started with 3 times a day sometimes I can't sleep and will take it a couple extra times at night but not very often just when I have bad anxiety what kind I use is green or white red didn't really work for me but everyone is different marketing will tell you there are all these different strains but really there is only one kratom tree how they dry it and where it comes from will change affects.

[@kevinclark9809]

@temara hey girl . I’m a total noob like you when it comes to kratom , but ive HEARD the golden stuff is BY FAR the most powerful of the strains . Again I don’t know but that’s what I’ve read . I bought a 100 gram bag of some red strain and tried it out yesterday ! It was really good ! Totally melted my pain for 4/5 hours . Not blunted the pain , the pain vanished for a solid 4 hours and slowly started to come back . I took too much and got some jitters too . Took about 4/5 grams as a 240lb male . For what it’s worth maybe try a red? And start out at a gram or 2 . 5 grams was too much for me . But I was definitely a little jittery and high energy and the pain vannnnished ! But I was also sick to my stomache though , like 3/10 and had a lil trouble sleeping … I’m thinking it’s just the dose size!! Ima try 2.5 grams of red ! I’d recommend trying a gram or 2 max of red or maybe try taking just a half gram of your gold stuff ?? Maybe u just got some super awesome stuff ! Remember there’s no one size fits all for kratom , atleast not yet . Seems to effect people differently as well !

[@travisevans7502]

That's exactly how I used kratom was to get off pain pills five six years ago now worked great for me I ended up liking green malay and white Borneo for myself completely off the pills haven't touched them several years I still do take kratom but weaning off of it right now I'm almost completely done without any withdrawals if you try to drop cold turkey you will get withdrawals similar to pain pills but nowhere near as bad so don't get too far into the kratom either just use it as a transition off of the pills you can do it good luck

[@tameramares5785]

Thank you everyone for the awesome replies!! I think I may try the red. Also, I bought it at a local smoke shop. Hearing vendors on internet are better quality. Ty again!!...🤗

Hello! 🙏☀️I'm glad it helped you for those severe pains, I live in Colombia and I have fibromyalgia, which is also chronic pain like arthritis (similar), I've tried everything for the pain, not even morphine helps me. I want to take kratom, but I don't know which strain would help me with pain and insomnia, without feeling in another world, because I once tried marijuana for pain and it made me nervous and shaky, which strain do you take? Thank you very much for answering ☺️

[@luceymajor]

Using Kratom to get high off of sounds horrible to me. I use Red Bali for muscle pain/stinging pain sensation of Fibromyalgia. I use 4 grams x 10 times a day (around every 2.5 hours). I don't feel like that it too much and I definitely need it. I've suffered since I was 7 from a vaccine injury and Kratom is a life saver. 40 grams a day probably sounds really high to some other Kratom users. If I take more than that it makes me sick. The stuff I buy is the light fluffy powder. If I take the course, more dense grind it makes me sick.

[@kyleclause]

Wow if it works for you it works. Sounds like you are in lots of pain without it. Really puts things in perspective for me as I only take 1-2 grams roughly once or twice a day sometimes. It helps numb my stomach so I can eat like normal otherwise I’m in horrible pain after every meal

[@jacobeberhart7739]

Na thats not alot. I take about 20 to 30 grams a day. Every 4 to 5 hours. I kind of spoiled myself because I have like 20 strains that I switch up on. Very good kratom that I take

Everyone i heard say they withdraw bad from kratom and they've never did opiates or worse drugs before are the people i hear complaining. Kratom is a great tool if you used responsible, not like a junkie

[@Dmgolfer22]

I work in the field and today there are almost as many kratom users coming into inpatient detox than people coming in to get off pressed oxys. Many of them say the negative effects on their health is much worse than pills.

[@joecanales2259]

Yesssss, I was a heroin addict and opiate addict for years. In n out of detox. But this shut, withdrawals n side effects are just different. Random side effects like ringing ears, dizziness, heart palpitations. Things I never felt from any other opiates. It’s like it’s fucking me up in a whole different way. Not just the normal opiate-Esque withdrawals

[@robertmaimone8733]

I was taking teaspoon 4times day initially, then I took 1\2 TEASPOON, and its been going well

[@keithbrunson7190]

Try the OPMS gold extract since you like it so much. It'll impress you since you like it. I don't do blow. But I understand your "type." I don't drink or do any pill, but I have experienced this extract that'll blow your mind. This extract ONLY. This name brand Only. Thanks for the insight!

[@mattt2094]

It's good for getting off opiates, but it is definitely addictive. I've tried quitting before but didn't succeed bc of feeling crappy at work, so I just quit yesterday and I decided I'm gonna tough out the withdrawals over my Christmas break so I don't have to work and feel like crap. Need days off work to deal with the withdrawals for sure. Got tired of worrying about running out and bringing it when going places. Don't start doing it regularly if you are clean and clear already, it will become addictive for sure. The withdrawals are just like coming off of pain pills for real.

[@fretnesbutke3233]

The analogy of coffee is pretty apropos. Kratom is to opiates somewhat like coffee is to amphetamines. That said,there was a recent story of a young athlete who died from caffeine powder overdose. Kratom has a ceiling,and with overuse, you're chasing a feeling you can't grab. I wish it wasn't so short acting..3 hours.

[@lolawants2008]

Supposedly Maeng Da strain lasts 8+hrs? I take that (yellow) & red Bali (which has the 3-5hr window effect). I’m sort of new so these were just the 1st strains I bought on a whim before I’d done research. Still don’t really understand what yellow vein is lol. But here’s how I take it: 1) always use a potentiator - it enhances effects so you need to take less- some are: lemon, lime, cayenne, apple cider vinegar, I think maybe turmeric(?) 2) I find less is more, & I don’t shoot it all at once 3) don’t heat it, which can reduce potency So what I’ve been doing that works great for me- 2 or 3x a day I make a drink: 16-20oz water, only 1/2 teaspoon of Kratom (though I play with doses this small dose is awesome), some lemon or lime juice (or a 1/2-1 packet ‘true lime’), & a little sweetener (my favorite is liquid monkfruit). I drink this over time, usually 1-2hrs. It tastes great like a mild limeade. In this way it seems to ongoingly help my chronic pain & severe ptsd, but I have zero high, fog, etc. Your dosing may be different, but you may find this helps

[@thedomestead3546]

What about the drug called Green Tea or the drug called Coffee?

[@spider5001]

My body did not react well to kratom. I tried but 2 grams made me feel pretty ill. My eyes were very sensitive to light and I was very itchy. Did not get good sleep. My body just doesn’t agree with it. I feel like if it works for other people it should be there choice. Personal responsibility over legislation every single time. We are adults and are entitled to our own decisions.

[@jayton580]

Shiiiit I was so dumb when I started doing kratom I was doing heaps of spoons full of that stuff getting fucked up

[@terrytish8756]

I don't know how people abuse it. If I have more than 5grams in 18 hours, I have a headache. Currently doing 2.4gram doses twice a day. Seems to be the sweet spot.

[@MilMike]

I started with 1g per day... after years of daily usage I was taking more and more, up to 30g per day (eg ~5g every 1 or 2 hours) . For me the effects were fading away quickly and I tried to take more of Kratom. And the more I was taking the more the cravings / withdrawals were the day after. So in the morning I was simply taking kratom just to feel normal again.. without it I had a constant fog and problems with focusing.. coffee didn't help

Ok2 things- 1) alcohol is both “Alcohol, particularly in the early stages of consumption acts as a stimulant on the central nervous system. It triggers an increase in dopamine levels. This speeds up the heart and respiration rate, and can increase energy and confidence, lower inhibitions, and improve mood.”

[@lolawants2008]

Wow so yt deleted my other comment because I guess I mentioned a website even though I didn’t type it out? How lame. Love monkfruit sweetener. Lemon or lime- fresh or a half to full pack of ‘true lime’. 16-20oz water. Tastes great, like lemon or limeade. I don’t shoot it down at once I just drink normally. I get good effects on severe pain & ptsd symptoms on just 1/2teaspoon 2 or 3x a day. Lemon/lime boosts Kratom effects.. other things do as well like cayenne pepper & others so you often don’t need as much Kratom too.

[@jamesseibert9061]

I've used some Kratom. All in all, it's mild. I'm currently weening myself off suboxone. Kratom seems to help. I'm not sure why kratom is controversial; it doesn't mess you up or anything. At the most, it's like drinking coffee.

[@kyleclause]

Not true. Different for everyone, I have no tolerance and it can make me pass out and have very heavy effects for hours. Can cause the classic opiate “nodding off” it’s crazy to see how some people get mild effects while others like me can get very heavy effects depending on dosage

I have decided to stop taking it for days and weeks at a time. My daily intake never exceeds 5g in a day and most days I take around 2g total (I've actually started to take less since posting this video). I experience fewer mood changes not taking kratom than on days I don't drink coffee. I know it's a drug, it's powerful and can be abused, and it's also possible to enjoy the effects at low doses (1-3 g). Not saying it works for everyone, but it does work for me. And a great tool for podcasting.

At some point people need to take responsibility for their own actions. Taking anyting at a super high dose will kill you this is not a hard concept.

Simple, if you don't like it or agree with it don't take it or use it. Stop trying to ban or put fear in people's heart about something you know nothing about, this is not to the op, who did a responsible job of explaining to start out at very low doses. This is to the multiple people who are doing stupid things with kratom, not expecting the stupid results.
