So my room mate wants to try some Kratom tea. I'm intrested too. But what is best for making it? Resin or 15x extract?
15 x, 20x, or whole alkaloid extract all work. I think its worth trying, its not euphoric to the extent of a true opioid, but can be enjoyable (and works well for pain). Start with reasonable dosages especially when working with extracts >15x, something around a gram should be plenty. You can use the extract to make a tea, just add to liquid and agitate with a fork, add a little flavor such as tea or honey if desired.
BTW: the resin is difficult to work with. I think most of it is about 7x on a relative potency scale.
damn i just did 4g of 15x kratom and 2 bowls of spice gold = worst high ever (just nasty and hangovery)
http://www.z-eclectic.com/wst_page6.html get the SEK. if you didn't feel anything with kratom you seriously messed up. That stuff is definitely more potent than weed at high doses. Well, I shouldn't say that... they aren't very comparable. EDIT: you can't smoke it! Kratom doesn't work as a smoke!
Kratom does work as a smoke. I drank some Kratom (about 3 grams of powdered leaf) and I got a nice buzz. Then I puked
I'd advise a resin over the extracts, often find them overpriced and no more effective than plain simple basic leaf! Many people take too much also, and can feel ill from doing so. Traditionally this has been used in thailand and is said to keep the menn working hard. This is because at lower doses or the start of a larger dose it is stimulating, but a large dose especially if not done before will do the opposite! Mmelody
Ok, I have some idea how to make the kratom extract. This idea I discuss with you. First of all, Place the kratom into the percolator basket, and pour 1 liter of water thru the basket. Once the water heats-up and starts the clock - and let your kratom tea brew for at-least 15 minutes. After the 1st brew, leave the kratom in the basket pour your brew into a 2-quart container, then pour the 2nd liter of clear water thru the kratom filled basket and brew it also, just like the 1st. brew again, 15 minutes or more. You'll notice that the 2nd brew cycle produces a lighter tea, because you've extracted all of the good things from the kratom leaves, thereby exhausting them. Once finished I discard the leaves, I then mix the 2 brews together in the 2-quart container to cool. Some boil the mixture down farther, to make a stronger tea. After some cooling, I pour the kratom tea into cleaned- tea bottles, refrigerate what I'll use in a few days, and freeze the rest. :afro:
