I got some of this stuff, and want to try it tonight. I got the premium leaf, which has the extract added. It says on the package, that 2-3 grams is a good dose, and 6 grams is a high dose. Since its powdered, what would be a good way of measuring out 3 grams? I've got teaspoons, tablespoons and all that. Also what is a good preperation method? I know you have to make it into tea, but is there any trick to it?
Well, how much do you have total? And through personal experience I think the tea method is by far the best, although I just had an ounce of regular dried leaves. Heres how I would personally approach it: I would take a pot and the mug I'd be using and I'd add around one and a half mug fulls of water to the pot. Then I'd add around 4-5 grams of the powder (trust me, higher dosages feel WAY more worth it, unless you're trying to conserve it). Then I'd bring it to a boil and keep boiling it for like 20-30 minutes or until it reduces down to a small amount (trust me, it tastes NASTY, the less you have to drink the better), then let it cook to a lukewarm temperature (makes it easier to go down) and drink it, but be sure to have something like orange or cranberry juice to drink immediately after. Then just sit back and relax. Last time I did it I was lying on my couch watching That 70's Show and I remember finding it hilarious and I recall feeling as if I was floating a foot above the couch. This is definately some fun stuff, so have fun!
I've tried Kratom, but I have never tried the powder form. I do think that the 2-3 grams is right, but I think 6 grams is a little much, from what I know of the powdered form. I've always heard "2 grams" for the powder. A good preparation method: Make it into a tea. HOWEVER, BE ADVISED, no matter how much sugar, honey, sweetener, or flavour you put into the tea, it is going to taste like absolute shit. Make it with as little water as possible, then punch yourself and chug it. That's really the best you can do with it. If you can do that and not mind the taste too much, then Kratom can be a really great experience. =) Be prepared to have so much energy that you want to exercise, too.
you didnt look hard enough in the experiences section there are way to prepare kratom http://www.erowid.org/experiences/subs/exp_Kratom.shtml
I've had that kind of kratom before. You're probably gonna want to do around 5 or 6 grams. I did 3 a few times and didn't feel much, but when I did 6 it was real nice.
