The subject line is nearly enough I think!  Wink

I love Kratom in doses around 10 grams.  It works very well for several hours.  My wife seems to like it as well.  The problem is that it becomes hard to drink after the 1st time you ever try it.  It's funny!  Every person I have introduced it to - and myself too the 1st time I tried it - has said "whatever, it was not bad.  A little grassy, but fine."  And then, the next time they try it they end up spraying it on the blinds across the kitchen.  That actually happened to me!  My wife laughed her ass off and then made me clean it while I had Kratom not dripping out of my nose!  OMG it was terrible. 

I like to take it in a small glass mixed with Orange Juice and a 1/2 shot of vodka.  The vodka is only to help the Kratom permeate quicker.  I have yet to find anything that masks the flavor of the Kratom better than OJ.  If anyone knows of something better I'm all ears! 

I buy it by the Kilo and orders that large come in crushed-leaf form so you have to grind it yourself.  I use a good Hamilton Beach coffee grinder.  It works great!  Good times!

I just make a tea out of the kratom. Strain it out twice, boil it down to a liter or so and you're golden.

I want to start growing kratom though, does anyone know how much more potent fresh leaves are?

yea, i find that the best way to do it is to just mix it with warm water and chug it down  Undecided  haha the few seconds of disgust are very worth the few hours of glowing warmth!

Just had my first Kratom the other day. 5g of the stuff didn't do a lot for me, but it didn't taste that bad. I did what a youtube video told me to do. Boil some water. Put the Kratom in a cup. Pour in a little boiling water and stir. Then, top off the glass with some sort of citrus juice. I did that and was easily able to drink it and kind of liked it. Tasted a bit like some vitamin drink I used to drink when I was younger.

That is a bit funny to me because myself and EVERY SINGLE person I have seen try Kratom for the first time has said that it wasn't that bad.  But trust me brother it gets worse.  But it's worth it.  Personally, I like to take more like 10 grams or just a bit under - no less than 8.  Any less and it really doesn't do shit for me.  But I yeild to no one that the best way to take it is mixed into a lil' vodka and O.J.  Other ways may work and I've tried many of them.  I just like my way the best.  But to each his own!  Good luck brother!

Yeah.  I think it just makes it get started a little quicker.  Im talking about a 1/2 of a shot (or a whole one  Wink ).  I think it makes it work a lil' better too.  I have used clear rum when I had no vodka.  Probably any strong alcohol would work.  I use vodka b/c I like it best with orange juice, which is what I recommend taking kratom with to mask the terrible flavor! lol.

I'll let you know if I start thinking it's terrible. I've had two glasses so far. Both have been pretty good Tongue! I had the first with lime juice and the second with apple juice. No vodka yet, I'll have to pick some up from the store.

I've been making tea out of kratom for about six months and like the taste more every time. It was a little bitter the first time but the bitterness and earthiness grew on me really quickly. I'm at the point now where I really savor the smell of it while it's brewing and like the taste of the tea with just a little lemon from brewing and a bit of honey.

I don't care for it mixed with juice because of the texture and also because it doesn't work as immediately when you consume the raw plant material.

The vodka trick does work. On a side note - try drinking a glass of grapefruit juice about an hour before taking kratom. It dulls some of the effects, but it can string them out much longer than normal.

Grapefruit juice contains a cyp3a4 inhibitor. CYP3A4 is a liver enzyme of the cytochrome p450 series, it is responsible for metabolising many drugs including some narcotics. CYP2D6 is another inhibitor which metabolizes most narcotics. CYP2D6 inhibitors include wellbutrin and the anti-acid omeprazole. they can extend the life of narcotics in your system, but I must agree they hinder the effects some.

yeah i'm going to have to try some prilosec and some k2, and some salvia, and some kratom... and i am going to have to chase that down with a bottle of grapefruit juice! has anyone tried to extract k2? I am an advocate of extracts now as your not consuming leaf, but the active ingredients. It is so totally awesome. Takes less to get you to heaven and see your goddess.... and as for the taste of kratom, one could figure that you could cook with it? make some kratom cookies, brownies, pies, meats! kratom, k2, and salvia jerky! awesome... my jerky business is boombing, too bad i'm still in the red from having to get that darn sale's tax licesne!

Find Quality Amanita Muscaria and More I WOULD RECOMMEND THESE GUYS... THEY SENT ME A FREE SAMPLE OF K2 WITH MY ORDER! (8-0)!!!!!

This is my first time here and I have a question. I was an opiate user for years but after 4 back fusions and a week of withdrawls I now only smoke MJ once in awhile but miss the opiate feeling. I want to try and stay within the law so after finding the herb supplier I want to try this instead of getting hooked on opiates again but don't know where to start so I'm hoping that someone can give me the straight facts on using kratom and other herbs to reach the effects I want. Any info would be helpful

Hi Paybac, I would purchase your kratom from Bouncing Bear as they are the most reliable and trustworthy supplier. This link is the online version of the kratom users guide.  http://sagewisdom.org/kratomguide.html   I purchase kratom from Bouncing Bear myself as I have been a pain patient for many years and I hate the dependence that opiates build. Using kratom is a good way to break it up. Peace,love and respect.
