What are /r/kratom's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Quinine and/or quinadine is also present in many of the ones in which loperamide was also found, both of which are well-known substances people use to alleviate opiate withdrawals by taking extremely high doses, which is known to be extremely dangerous and in many cases, fatal. The FDA is well-aware of their dangers and interactions as well.

So why are they blaming kratom for these deaths when (a) they know that people taking these other substances for the purposes of alleviating withdrawals have to take extremely high doses to achieve the desired effect, and (b) they have tons and tons of documented cases of deaths caused by taking these other substances? Especially when there are no other documented cases of mitragynine being the sole cause of death!

It's like finding heroine, cocaine, methamphetamine, benzos, barbiturates, and ibuprofen in a dead person and then blaming the death on the ibuprofen.

Let me start by saying I understand the struggle to sleep. I spent 13 years on sleeping pills and have finally been fully of for 1 year now. You should strongly consider something other than benadryl. Regular anticholinergics use has a very strong link to dementia later in life. Consider some of these:

• chamomile tea (literally buy dried organic chamomile flowers and steep 4 tbsp for 4 or 5 mins then strain-it works amazingly)

• blue light blocking glasses for 2 hours before bed (seriously they work)

• a 4 week DSIP cycle to regulate your sleep cycle

• CBD

• exercise during the day, preferably in the morning

• no caffeine after 11 am

Thanks for all the support guys. And if you didn't know, I got married recently! I had a couple of people request a few more photos, here's some more of the wedding if you're interested. I appreciate all the support and hope to be around the community more once I have a little more time. It's my last semester in school and I'll be graduating with my programming degree this winter. :) Hard to believe how much time has passed since we first started fighting for kratom.

An article with a little more clarity on the situation:

If I do a 3k order from Borneohale - which is more in weight than what you're offering in "free" samples, the shipping comes out as follows:

EMS $87.73 CP $78.17 DHL $99

None of them even come close to $150. I have to add in the cost of the kratom to get to that kind of price. So, I question the "pay only shipping" pitch here.

You'll find lots of info here https://www.bing.com/search?q=kratom+diabetes&pc=MOZB&form=MOZMBA

Kratom has been used to treat type 2 diabetes in SE Asia. There was one study that showed it's promise for treating diabetes. http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/14786410802267627#.UZUHtkp7Pew

>"This study demonstrated the effect of M. speciosa in stimulating glucose transport in muscle cells, implicating the folkloric use of M. speciosa leaves for treating diabetes."

You will probably be interested in this document I put together after testing the alkaloid composition of a green maeng da vs a red horn. I was surprised at the overall similarity and lack of striking differences. All the same alkaloids are present, and in similar quantities.

I agree with your assessment and Ive been thinking of doing the same blind bioassaying.

I don't mind at all. I just don't because this is a kratom board and not really a house music board. I'm on two different sites though pretty much every Friday night.

Most Kratom People Are Good

^(adapted by /u/MichaelConstipe8 from Most People Are Good by Luke Bryan)

I believe if you just go by the fake FDA news
Your faith in all kratom types would be the first thing you lose

I believe most kratom people are good
And most mama's oughta qualify for kratom food

I believe most Friday nights look better with kratom under neon or stadium lights
I believe them streets of golden kratom shops are worth the work
But I still wanna go even if they were paved in dirt
I believe you love whoever's kratom you love
Ain't nothin' you should ever be ashamed of
I believe this kratom ain't half as bad as it tastes
I believe most kratom people are good

I believe that kratom goes slow and years go fast
And every taste's a gift, the first one to the last
I believe most kratom people are good

Luke Bryan - Most People Are Good [Video]

• Luke Bryan said "It was something that I felt like that people always need to be reassured that there's way more good going on than negative."

My advice is to get an inexpensive scale which will allow you to know how much you are taking. Sometimes as little as 0.5 g makes the difference between a good and bad experience for me.

Link to the one I got for cheap: https://www.amazon.com/Smart-Weigh-SWS100-Digital-Pocket/dp/B00EPO9M2Y

(I do "amazon smile" that donates a small percent of all my purchases to a no-kill animal shelter in my state, at no cost to me)

I think there is, technically.

FTA: "The LD50 values of orally administrationof the methanol and alkaloid extracts of M. speciosa leaves in mice were 4.90 g/kg and 173.20 mg/kg, respectively."

But being reasonable, I don't think one is likely to ingest enough kratom, even in the absence of purge mechanisms like vomiting. Let's say 10 grams is your dose and ballpark on the high end. If 5% of it is alkaloids (top shelf), then up to 500mg could be alkaloids. So using the more toxic calculation of 173mg/kg, one would still be taking only a dose about 24 times lower than the LC50 (500mg/~70kg=~7.1mg/kg). And that's ballparking on the high end of the alkaloid LC50. If one were to convert leaf to extract, their methanol extract yielded 396 g off 5 kg, so 5000g/396g=~12.6x. So one gram of their extract should be sufficient (=~12.6 g's leaf). At that dose, 1g/~70kg=~0.14g/kg which is much smaller than 4.90g/kg - actually 34 times smaller. Mind you none of this takes into account the fact humans are larger organisms with a slower metabolisms than mice, but this works in our favor anyways. So I imagine it's would be damn difficult to acutely poison yourself. Chronic use is a different story considering the possibility of metabolite accumulation. Anyways, sorry for the rambling! I likez to learnz.

What up. Thanks for everything. You'll get used to Reddit, I recommend getting the Reddit Enhancement Suite if you use Chrome or Firefox, it's an awesome extension and this site is easier to look at if I turn on night mode and make it black.

They are about $10 retail. Here it is on Amazon. We also offer Free Priority shipping and I'm sure a 10% coupon could be found with a google search. :)

This is the one I use. It was recommended by a large number of DIY e-juice mixers. I use it for both that and kratom. Also for kitchen needs. I've had it for about a month and its great so far. Rarely becomes offset but is easily corrected. Has an AC adapter as well as battery power. Previously I'd used something crummy like you're describing that needed to be turned off and on repeatedly to get a good read. Check it out and see what you think.

I recommend reading "The Power of Habit" by Duhigg if you're interested in some perspective on why you have trouble breaking through cycles. As you're well aware, ingesting mood-altering substances like alcohol and kratom offers a reward system that's very hard to break, despite the negatives that gradually accumulate with prolonged use. I think you're training your brain and body to rely on alcohol/kratom to elevate your mindset which makes innate mood-balancing difficult, as if it were an atrophied muscle. Fortunately, we all can retrain our will and strengthen it to bring our dreams within reach.

Decreasing alcohol dependence is a great step and you should be proud! If you don't like the feeling kratom's absence gives you, it's time to reboot and set small goals for scaling back use. Start with small break periods, prepare yourself for slumps by keeping external mood-elevators (exercise, friends, books) nearby to see you through the tough patch and keep reminding yourself of the benefit of your efforts. Then, when you've made it through the break, reward yourself with something constructive! Thank yourself for doing right by your body and set a new, longer (but reasonable) goal.

This board doesn't seem very active but it could be a great place to reach out for consistent support since it seems most users are also working to resolve addictions of their own. Good luck, keep us posted on your progress :)

separately, prednisone is a steroidal anti-inflammatory. It's not at all similar to a narcotic, it works wonders on inflammation and it costs $4.00 from walmart with no insurance.

It's not the only thing at work, but it seems to have some correlation There are many more studies as well. This is just a couple that pop up with a quick google search.

An interesting fact I read (dont have the source right this minute) is that the rate of BPD in methadone clinic patients is something along the lines of >50%

I agree about Electrum. Very good wallet.

https://electrum.org/#home

A cool thing about it is when you create a request to "receive" bitcoins, it generates a little QR code box for the customer's phone. (Most bitcoin wallets have smartphone apps.) Anyway...you can just email a screenshot of that QR code to your customer and he can scan it with his phone to make payment really simple.

The standard way to pay is just to email the code (long string of letters/numbers) that your wallet randomly generates, to your customer.

This code is basically like an email address for bitcoins. But you can generate a different one every time if you choose. They all are deposited in your wallet, in either case.

Life can fucking suck sometimes, and it tends to throw everything at you at once as well.

We all need a hand occasionally.

If you need more support, I strongly recommend https://www.7cups.com/ - live chat support with people who know how hard life can be. You can search through the Listeners to find someone you think might match you, and just talk. It can really help.

Wishing you all the best <3

It's about as similar to kratom as kratom is to poppies, which is to say not very, but it is another herbal painkiller. This journal article suggests it contains low affinity opioid agonists and antagonists. To give you an idea of the difference in potency, the Ki (concentration of a drug required to occupy 50% of receptor sites) for the opioid biding alkaloids of Picralima nitida are in the micromolar (10^-6 M) range (the most potent of which had a Ki of 1.1 μM), whereas all of kratom's opioid binding alkaloids are in the nanomolar (10^-9 M) range (7-hydroxymitragynine has a Ki of about 10 nM at the mu-opioid receptor, for reference). However, the authors state that a P. nitida extract has comparable potency to morphine, so the alkaloidal content is likely sufficient to produce psychoactive effects despite being relatively weaker. Kratom appears to be much more pharmacologically diverse than this plant, actually. P. nitida doesn't appear to modulate anything except opioid receptors, whereas kratom's alkaloids hollistically affect serotonin, adrenaline, the opioid system, NMDA receptors, and calcium channel blockage.

Let me know if you have any other questions, as I'd be happy to conitinue researching on your behalf.

Scale here for $7.04 at Amazon-I have this one and love it. I paid $9.00 for it.

as one occasional baker to you-- I highly recommend the whoopie pie pans on amazon.

they'll hold the shape you're looking for and so long as the non-stick surface isn't scratched, they pop right off.

Also good for making egg mcmuffins.

now back to your regularly scheduled program...

edit: YELLOW VIETNAMMMMMMMMM!!!!! Love that strain. Excited to see it in your video.

Time to visit Amazon. I don't recall seeing the PB there though and I've never had it. Which flavor is your favorite? Peppermint seems like it def needs to be had.

Edit: Went with the 5 variety pack not like I won't use them ;)

Here's a good one. Accurate to two decimal places. And it has an attached lid. And it's only $10 plus shipping (unless you have Amazon Prime).

PS: There's two options for that listing. One is the scale only, the other one is the scale with a calibration weight. It's only $15, and the weight is a good thing to have on-hand just in case.

I got one from Amazon that was only $10 and measures both. I'll find the link.

I actually have a small green matcha tea tin with a twist on top that I put Kratom inside when heading to work. Nobody knows the difference.

It's about this size on Amazon but not the same brand.

https://www.amazon.com/Organic-Matcha-Green-Powder-USDA/dp/B01FE95IDU/ref=pd_sim_325_3?_encoding=UTF8&amp;pd_rd_i=B01FE95IDU&amp;pd_rd_r=S4GTAHYJYW47FADGP1HT&amp;pd_rd_w=JIqoS&amp;pd_rd_wg=aD3G9&amp;refRID=S4GTAHYJYW47FADGP1HT&amp;th=1

Two other possible methods:

Alternative #1: Get a magic-bullet (not a nutri-bullet, magic is cheaper.) You can get one for about 30$

Here’s a link for amazon: Magic Bullet Blender https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012T634SM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_pMR5AbWEC5HKX

Just add however much kratom you want to some milk, and then add chocolate accordingly. I have been doing this for the past year and I can say I basically don’t remember what kratom taste like, and I take around 8 g’s a dose. I used to toss and wash when I first started and now I giggle when someone says they T&W.

Alternative #2: Rice gum papers. I have never used these but am thinking of trying them. Heard about them recently on this sub. Apparently you just wrap it up and swallow, but this may be similar to what I have been doing, not sure, just figured I’d put it here anyways. You can get around 100 papers for about 9$.

Here’s a link:

Three Ladies Spring Roll Rice Paper Wrappers (Round 22cm 3pks) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00437EN2C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_HUR5AbM9TP0CS

Bulk Supplements on Amazon. $56.80 and free shipping. https://www.amazon.com/BulkSupplements-Agmatine-Sulfate-Powder-grams/dp/B00PZ5WXXM/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1525285869&amp;sr=8-2-spons&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&amp;keywords=agmatine&amp;psc=1&amp;th=1

Nutricost on Amazon worked for me

https://www.amazon.com/Nutricost-Agmatine-100-Grams-Servings/dp/B00MY9BZHC/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_sspa?keywords=agmatine&amp;qid=1560659774&amp;s=gateway&amp;sr=8-2-spons&amp;psc=1

> So I fill a mug with however much water I want to use (about 3/4 full) I pour this into a kettle and boil.

Once boiling, I add my measured kratom out (anywhere between 5-10 grams is what I personally use) and swirl it around to mix it.

Then I set it back on the stove on low-medium heat (3 on my stove, simmering) for 10 minutes.

While this is happening I set up said mug with one of these on top (something like this below)

https://www.amazon.com/HIC-2662-Coffee-Filter-Number/dp/B001S353EQ/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1537229608&amp;sr=8-17&amp;keywords=pour+over+coffee+dripper

with a filter that fits that (normal coffee filter?) and after the ten minutes is up I drain the kratom/water mixture through that.

After about 5 minutes of letting all the liquid drain through, i push the rest of any remaining liquid through by pushing a spoon on the filter. I kind of wrap up the filter so as not to get any kratom powder in the mug, press liquid out with spoon.

Then I add some ice cubes and I drink! My SO works at a coffee shop, which is why I had the pour over thing handy. It might seem like a lot, but it really is easy.

Hope this is helpful!

This method probably won't yield very good results. It takes a lot of time/heat to break down the cell walls of kratom leaf and release the alkaloids. The best way I've found is to simmer kratom in water with a little citric acid in it, enough to bring the pH down to about 3, for about 30 minutes. Then I strain it using a pour over brewer like this one. If you use this method get the natural brown filters, it goes a lot faster.

(sikp32) I asked and you told me about W.buds... If you have bad depression been to those Doctors for it GET this stuff here's A link read what ever there's The shit it works did 4 seeds tonight and My burn of Kratom Boy Am I almost back to where I am feeling great ..

I just finished vac-sealing all my kratom with this. You gotta leave like 4 inches of extra bag to prevent the powder from sucking out, and dust it off every now and then. Sometimes it vacs it tighter and harder than others, I would recommend limiting each bag to 1/2kg. Also after multiple kilos, the powder gets in the inline shut off switch with the vac tubing. This prevents the vac from auto shut-off and you gotta stop it with the button. I actually like it broken as I can get a greater vac-seal. I did it because I store it in a moist area with condensation.

Edit: I did not use a second inner bag because it prevents it from vacuuming tight.

I'm desperately trying to find herbals if things with kratom turn out bad. The two herbals I've been thinking about are black cohosh and chaste. Both of these have been investigated for their ability to work on the opioid system via receptor binding/activation and there have been some pretty impressive results. Chaste may have anti-anxiety potential as well. However most of the available data supports effectiveness only with alcohol and other non-water extracts. Now this could be because of the possible limitations of the receptor-binding assays so I wouldn't rule out water based preparations. I'll provide a few links to some research.

Well I'm not an expert but if you give me one minute I'll mosey over to reddit bitcoin and steal some useful links that can explain things better.

Basically coinbase is a site that you use to purchase your Bitcoin. Since they sell BTC and also turn it into dollars if you desire they are subject to regulations.

Just like a credit card payment processor will drop a vendor for selling kratom coinbase will block your account for buying kratom. They treat it just like research chemicals, I assume it is because although legal in most states there are states that they are illegal in and they are just covering their asses.

All you do is go to blockchain web site or mycelium and make a wallet, no verification needed. Then go to receive coin and grab your receiving address. Then go to your coinbase account and go to send coins. You then simply paste your receiving address in and enter the amount to send and click send.

Once you send you BTC to your secondary wallet you are fine, you can buy kratom or research chems or whatever

Edit, here is a link to the wallets I mentioned https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet , here is the link to blockchain wallet https://blockchain.info/wallet/#/

I'm not really good at explaining things but I will try my best if you have more questions

I've been taking kratom for 8 years. My metabolic and liver/kidney tests are fine throughout. I think it's people having allergic inflammations to it.

The 1975 scientific study of n=27 or whatever the fuck from Thai people that's always posted is total shit.

I don't doubt some people have adverse reactions to it. People have adverse reaction to all kinds of shit. But the fact is, prescription drugs and medical mistakes is the 3rd cause of death in America. Where the fuck is the outrage in that, or the 2 decades of doc in a box pain centers giving 18 year old kids 380 oxys a month And still have their license because they shutdown after 2 years of warnings by the government. The government actually warned these doctors to quit before they finally arrested like 3 in total who didn't quit.

You are right to an extent. Intuitively, there's a tipping point where stress adversely affects growth and survival, though.

Here is a link to a paper written by that particular student, in legalese. Also, roughly 49% of all students enrolled in law are male, so my odds weren't bad to begin with.

Sorry to hear you're having a tough time, I have depression and I know how the downs can really hit you. You are making sense, and everything you mention is good reason for feeling depressed. You're getting a lot of good advice, I just wanted to add that I don't see you saying anything about getting any help for your depression outside of medication. I do encourage you to look after that side as well, it really does make a difference.

I recommend looking into what NAMI support there is in your area - nami.org - and also you can get immediate free chat support at https://www.7cups.com/ to talk through feelings & situations with people who know how to listen and support.

Once I got a scale I found that what I thought was a few grams was less than one gram. I never eyeball my doses anymore. 1-1.5 grams once every 12 hours to 8 hours. Works for me. I've never felt the need to up my dose more than 2 grams ever. Grabbed this scale.

Fuzion Digital Pocket Scale, 200g x 0.01g

I use agmantine as well and it works but it seems you build tolerance towards it as well so after finding that out i did some research and found these 2 products:

-High Absorption CURCUMIN TURMERIC Extract ( Curcumin from Turmeric is poorly absorbed and quickly clears from the body in an hour or two, this formula maintains a steady level in your body for 5 to 7 hours)

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L775W3U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1

-Pure Grapefruit Seed Extract Powder (cheap as hell and the dose is 250mg so it will last a lot)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HGUY1SO?psc=1&amp;redirect=true&amp;ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01

Both work really well and it made me remember the first time i tried kratom ( amazon maeng da) .....so gud jajaj

Black seed oil is good for lowering tolerance as you get a better effect taking less kratom. So no break needed :)

I get this stuff from amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Amazing-Herbs-Black-Seed-Cold-Pressed/dp/B0009EYIQ4

It is pretty nasty, but it seems to be worth it.

I was researching this very topic earlier today. I think I'm going to pick up one of these off Amazon. I found the recommendation in this old thread from last year. Some good info there.

That exact spoon scale is $14.99 on Amazon and Here are reviews from verified purchasers.

like a few people have already said, you have to put the spoon down on a flat surface, tare it to make sure it is zeroed, scoop your whatnot, and then put it back down on said flat surface to get a proper reading.

<strong>Kratom 101</strong> is the newbie guide and it has some great starter info. If you Amazon, I got this scale on the recommendation from someone here and I like it. For 8bucks, I dare say I love it.

I know this was probably your first resource but on the off chance you haven't read it go get the book "Headache of the Pelvis"

https://www.amazon.com/Headache-Pelvis-Revised-Expanded-Updated/dp/0972775552

Best money spent and I believe its where I found my stretching specifically for pelvic floor muscles. The one on amazon right now has been updated recently I guess. I'll have to get a new copy for myself too.

This may sound absurd, but there is a book named The Easy Way To Quit Smoking by Allen Carr that has been a life changing read for me, I couldn't recommend it more highly! I thought it was a joke at first, an easy way to quit smoking, hah! I had been trying to quit every other week for the better part of a year and I just kept failing at it. Then I read the book and I quit and it was insanely easy, not only easy but even enjoyable! And I was a pack a day smoker. Make sure to check out these Amazon reviews as well, thus is the real deal!!! https://www.amazon.com/Allen-Carrs-Easy-Stop-Smoking/dp/0615482155

Looks like they have one on Amazon but the holes look a big bigger. Might be a situation for crushed leaf or an added coffee filter in it.

Jarware Tea Infuser, Green https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018XBP9GM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_JtNOyb5KAF087

I actually make it with dry leaves I grow, but I know amazon has a great looking product made by micro ingredients https://www.amazon.com/Micro-Ingredients-Organic-Moringa-Extract/dp/B01N91404L/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1487789040&amp;sr=8-2-spons&amp;keywords=moringa%2Bextract&amp;th=1

So, this has really come in handie. I got this on amazon so I can set up a locked and loaded teaspoon for when I might not have time to set one up. You can stash it in the bathroom or wherever, so you can handle your business without all the attention the process may bring. Just around $7.00 on Amazon. I just ordered a second one. The thumb part that is designed for measuring works as a cap so you don't have to worry about spillage. Just thought I'd share this with you guys.

Im curious about the digital spoon scale that weighs a spoonful of powder myself!

Similar to this; https://www.amazon.com/Jerrybox-Adjustable-Digital-Electronic-Measuring/dp/B01F2YYH8E

I also want to get special jars to store my stash. Smaller ones for the quick access and larger ones for the bulk supply. Now I just use mason jars but thinking of looking for some color coded containers to match the color of the strain. Red lid for the reds etc.

Amazon is dangerous for me :) so many things I really don't need but sure do wanna play with!

Amazon. When I ordered 12 more I got a different brand. It was a better deal by a couple bucks. This is what I recently got. They are perfect.

> do you grow your own bacopa?

Nah, although there are some varieties of Water hyssop that grow where I am (not B. monnieri). I buy leaf powder on amazon.

>that's what's so amazing about kratom, how far from a placebo it is.

Indeed, it is an intense medicine. That's why I personally like to use it as sparingly as possible. It helps me keep efficacy up and side effects down. One of my favorite herbs though, no doubt.

Also, coffee makes me jittery as shit, but a good tea doesn't do that as much. I am pretty sure it's more than just the caffeine in green (or black) tea that makes me good for an energy boost and attention, but I am not positive.

• 5oz for $2.91 as an add-on item

• 1lb for $14.80 Amazon Prime

And wow look at this:

https://www.amazon.com/Beadaholique-Count-Resealable-Zipper-3-Inch/dp/B00AFRWKRO/ref=pd_sim_201_2?_encoding=UTF8&amp;pd_rd_i=B00AFRWKRO&amp;pd_rd_r=5J1JAXWCTBFWPM6HJTD9&amp;pd_rd_w=ndGvM&amp;pd_rd_wg=QzKvC&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=5J1JAXWCTBFWPM6HJTD9

This is more of a "longer" type of bag for certain storage methods (a different shaped pocket maybe?) but SEE the photos, WOW. Also one other photo had a guys smoothie mix looks like am enhanced FSB being mixed in there lol.

Of course he funny enough calls it "super green". Plus that pic is a good size/realistic holding amount for kratom too you can tell how much it'd be. And there are coins and a $5 bill in some photos there. But scroll just past all these photos and well, see what I said above on the photos...WOW. Amazon doesn't censor or remove stuff like that?

Just eat it raw. It's best thrown in a smoothie. When tumeric is boiled and ground into powder it is more stable and longer shelf life but you will be missing alot of the benefits raw tumeric can provide. Like tumeric oil for instance which is lost in the boiling process, circumin % will be much higher in raw tumeric than tumeric powder. Blend it in a smoothie with almond or coconut milk (fats increase tumeric/curcumin bioavailability very much as well) that's the best way to get the most out if raw tumeric. I take curcumin supplements and make golden paste with the finest tumeric powder I can find, but I still by fresh tumeric at the store if they have it and use it in my breakfast smoothie. Only reason I know so much is because I made the same mistake, when my local market started selling raw tumeric I jumped on it and bought 2 lbs! I used maybe a 1/4 of that in week and even kept in the refrigerator the rest were all shriveled up and slimey within a few days after. I had thought about processing them into powder but why do that when I can just pay $9 for high quality tumeric on Amazon

In regard to straining sludge... Just by coincidence today I was reviewing several "Extra Fine Mesh Loose Leaf Tea Infuser" products on Amazon!! This would strain MOST of the black goop out overnight. Even saw 1 review comment, from a fellow kratomite lol.

My question is: How much are you losing, by straining sludge? As you say, would it require doubling the amount of kratom... so you're losing half the potency? That would not be good.. sure kratom's cheap right now but I dunno it seems wasteful.. I do like the idea of a cleaner "brew".. For hot tea w/ crushed leaf kratom this Tea Infuser would be perfect.

No lol def don't believe everything you read in the paper. This is the best quality for price matcha I have been able to find and I ger it on Amazon I'd be interested to know what you come up with.

I’ve been buying this brand off Amazon: Black Cumin Seed Oil - Non-GMO - 500mg 100 Softgels First Cold Pressed https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M1CKOSN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_inI6zbVE2AW23

It’s very well reviewed & priced right.

Possibly off-topic, but if you have kidney stones you should REALLY look into chanca piedra. This is the stuff I take daily (Amazon, but you can get chanca piedra anywhere online that sells supplements) and it works wonders, both for an acute attack and for keeping them at bay long term. I will never be without it again. Hope you feel better soon!

My favorite thing is "Prince of Peace" brand Ginger tea with honey crystals to make my kratom tea (Can be purchased at Asian grocery stores or on amazon. Compliments the flavor of most kratom and the first thing I look forward to when I wake up every day. However, before I acquired a taste for kratom years ago, i used to mix it into fruit on the bottom yogurt to get it down.

Here is a link if anyone is interested: https://www.amazon.com/Instant-Ginger-Honey-Crystals-Pack/dp/B002SWB73C/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1521628318&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=prince+of+peace+ginger+honey+crystals

something like 1000 almost 5 out of 5 stars, and classified as an amazon 'choice' item

I don’t. At least not one from Walmart. Here’s one for Amazon but they say it’s currently unavailable. They have them at almost all grocery stores but they’re more expensive than Walmart.

Yeah, these don't appear to be affiliate links, just search engine crap Amazon adds on to links depending on how you got there, whether from an old order or a search engine or yes, affiliate links.

BUT, with Amazon specifically, if you strip off everything after the "/dp/product_id/" in the link you're golden. For example, the single cup brewer you linked to would be https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0014CVEH6/. Do that anytime you list an Amazon link and you're giving ONLY the product info you want to give without fueling any advertising or affiliate arrangements, and neither you nor your readers ever have to guess at it again. :D

You can get a good scale on Amazon for ten dollars. This is a good one because it goes to the 0.01 and maximum weight is 100g. This one goes to the 0.1, maximum is 600g and it is a little less expensive. A level, unpacked measuring teaspoon is 2.5 grams give or take a few tenths. A level unpacked measuring tablespoon in the ballpark of 7.5 grams.

Amazon 500 size 000 caps for $12.50 plus an extra 5% coupon. yay coupons :)

I never use strong flavors. If want perfect amount of caffeine, try Guayusa Leaf. Always tasty and add that perfect extra focus effect. I use to use this alone for focus before i met kratom. Its only $20 for a bag. Its same family as Yerba Mate but better in my eyes because it dont have that nasty taste Yerba mate has. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004FSASKU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1

You will never regret it, I reccomand it to everyone. And everyone who tried it fell in love with it. Plus you supporting Amazon jungles poor tribes since thats where it comes from.

This is also great to during T breaks from krarom. Just brew it and make it stronger.

I don't think most kitchen scales are meant to be accurate at low weights. They are often just accurate to within 1g. The scale I have is accurate to .001g, and it seems to work well. I got the more accurate scale because I use it for other supplements where I need weights under 100mg (.1g) If you are just going to use it for kratom, ,01 or even .1 should be fine. With the potential variation in alkaloids, being off by 50mg isn't going to make much of a difference. There are some kitchen scales in that range, but a jewellery/gem scale will also work, if you are just using it for kratom.

If you search Amazon for scale .001g (or .01), you will find many options. This is the one I have. Smart Weigh GEM20 High Precision Digital Milligram Scale 20 x 0.001g Reloading, Jewelry and Gems Scale https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ESHDGOI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_X-BWBbK8MB2PQ

Look at the Plant zone map of where kratom grows natural.. (coldest temp. Hotest temp of season) It should grow there need to do a bit more research before buying land for that reason. here a start to your research https://www.bing.com/search?q=usda+plant+zones+map&amp;FORM=QSRE4 Heres some of S. America Now see what the plant can grow in from where they are...https://davisla.wordpress.com/plant-zones/south-america-plant-hardiness-zone-map/. I'm to tired to do it ALL 4 you.

Depends on size. The cheapest 000 I found are blue white And red.

I decided to just go with clear and label containers and be careful.

I'm sorry about to hear about your experience with doctors. Them telling you to get pregnant is awful. I have me/cfs so am used to getting blamed for my symptoms too. Hang in there!

Totes possibility. This happens somewhere I clean. It happens all. the. time. If it starts flushing slow, or the bowl fills up slowly, or the bowl doesn't fill up all the way - basically anything that seems like it is working at some kind of reduced capacity I do this:

Walmart sells septic-tank cleaning stuff in powder and liquid form. I usually use the powder. I get Rid-X or whatever poop-eating microbes are on sale. Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Grocery Store, they all usually sell it. I get two treatments worth. If you have two toilets, do one at a time so that it can soak for a day or two. I put in one treatment packet and flush the toilet. I let the tank fill up and then shut the water off to the toilet. I dump in another packet and flush it again. Then there is no water in the toilet but the powder is down the pipe to settle around your biz. Close the lid, tape a note to the lid so nobody uses it, and let it sit for two overnights if you can. I usually leave it for a few days because I am only around there two or three times a week. Then turn the water back on and flush it again. Stand by with the plunger just in case. It has worked so far every time.

If you can't leave the toilet because you don't have another one to use, for under $20 it can still be worth a try before you have to call in a plumber. Do it overnight. Use a plunger to break it up before you flush it in the morning. And then do it again in two or three nights.

Good luck and Godspeed.

I managed to find this thesis on Kratom, it doesn't exactly hit on what you are looking for but it is very in depth. The site lets you download the paper.

I explained that up in my first comment , simply transfer your BTC to another wallet. Mycelium is a great android wallet and blockchain is also a good one

Edit, here's you a link for a Bitcoin wallet that you can buy kratom or hookers or crack with if you want. https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet I like mycelium and blockchain best

i do not know what happened with this person but you should really see a doctor to address this. it is likely not being caused by kratom. unexplained bruises, especially ones that take long to heal, can be due to a few things, some of them more serious than others. Here are two resources.

• https://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/guide/bruises-article#1

• https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/healthy-aging/in-depth/easy-bruising/art-20045762

The DEA says kratom is a "threat to public safety." When they say "public" they mean the entire population in the United States, which represents about 318.9 million.

Looking at the data from the last year from which we have numbers (2014) there were about 3 million calls to poison control. Looking at the numbers there are many other categories in which there could be extracted a possible "public health threat." If they are going to claim that 660 people out of 3 million callers is a public health threat then they need to include all the other things that people called in for that also represented a ten fold change or higher. Go read the report and you'll see there are dozens more things that had much higher volume of calls than kratom. You can't just pick ONE thing and say "that's a threat!" You have to use the other substances that had similar statistics. Otherwise it just looks random.

Found some more info about degradation in acid

(Evaluation of In Vitro Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion (ADME) Properties of Mitragynine, 7-Hydroxymitragynine, and Mitraphylline)[https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Zulfiqar_Ali12/publication/262536612_Evaluation_of_In_Vitro_Absorption_Distribution_Metabolism_and_Excretion_ADME_Properties_of_Mitragynine_7-Hydroxymitragynine_and_Mitraphylline/links/004635395bac19115d000000.pdf]

"Upon 2 h incubation in SGF (pH 1.2), 27% of 7-hydroxymi- tragynine was degraded".

Stomach acid is a good bit more acidic than acetic acid (which is ~2.4 for a 5% solution, like typical household vinegar) but it gives an idea of how acid degragation is an issue.

People lose weight because they want to skip meals to have a higher effect. Or because the kratom makes them feel nauseous.

I eat fewer meals since I started taking kratom but I eat more calories.

I would wish that people lose weight through kratom but that is not the case with me.

Maybe there are also people who compensate for sweets with kratom or drink kratom instead of the pack of chips in the evening.

I don't know anything about kratom but I thought I'd mention a couple of things I've tried with varying success.

I have sleep problems too. You might be interested in this. If you wake up at 3AM (like me) and want to watch a TV show on your PC until you fall back asleep (that's what I have been doing) then it won't blind you. It also dims your screen as night time approaches.

Here's some research that suggests that reaction with stomach gastric juices is more effective than reaction with intestinal acids. I'm presuming that to the degree that capsules pass through the stomach before disolving there would be a slight decrease in potency. Scientific reseach aside, that's my experience as well as the commonly expressed opinion. Chewing a little helps a lot. As does warm liquid.
