I am in looooove with kratom and have used it to successfully taper from hard opiates, I can not believe how easy it was! The powder is pretty bitter but its a fair trade off I think! Here is my success story thread for anyone interested: http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/showthread.php?t=432806&highlight=kratom&f=120
Kratom, to me, was always a waste of money if I bought the capsules. I can get the powdered stuff very cheap here. A little bit goes a long way and it seems to last a lot longer than the pills. It tastes nasty, but I always just boiled water and put it in the hot water, mixed it, and then let it cool so I could just chug it. Or you could mix it with cold water but it tends to not dissolve so it is harder to drink. It is a solid opiate high if it is good quality. Tolerance builds quickly though.
I love kratom. Recently started experimenting with it as alternative pain management. It's awesome...I take it in capsule form (buy it online), and take it about twice a week. It really has no side effects other than some slight nausea... If you're going to try any obscure drugs, try kratom.:2thumbsup:
I should reaxquaint myself with kratom. Haven't used any in about 5 or 6 months. I should try a good solid medium dose maybe with a marijuana combo sometime soon. First time I tried this combo, it knocked me on my ass! Perhaps an adventure for some special afternoon in the next few weeks
I take about 2-5grams once and awhile and it works for me, it's euphoric, takes any pain away, has never given me a 'hangover' and the worst that's happened has been that I go to sleep. Don't use it if you have an addictive type personality, though...the withdrawal after long term use is supposedly pretty intense.
