What's a good amount for a first time with Kratom?

I've heard anywhere from 3-8g? Do you just eat it or make a tea? is it worth smoking at all?

 

K well, I tried about 2g just as a test.

1) Dumped the 2g of Kratom in a glass and boiled some water.
2) Poured the water into the glass after cooling slightly because I didn't want to burn it, then i left the glass covered with a plate until it was cool enough to drink.
3) Took a sip or two... taste was terrible so i added lime juice and sugar
4) Taste was still terrible but I managed to gulp it down except for all the leftover leaves at the bottom.

All that and no effects :/

I really don't think the tea is gonna work for me if it's gonna taste like that. I hear you can just eat the stuff though? Maybe if i mix it in some spaghetti sauce, or put it on a pizza like a topping. Hmm.

 

Kratom is tricky, and you have to get the right strain. Some strains suck, and just like with any online vendor, quality/purity varies.

What is your opiate tolerance? Give me that bit of information and then it will be easier to find a Kratom dose for you.

 

My opiate tolerance is 0. I've tried hydrocodone once about a couple months ago and that's it, really enjoyed the experience though.

 

Then why do you want to try Kratom?

 

Because I enjoyed the opiate experience and don't have access to opiates. Heard it was safer and it's legal.

 

Ah okay. Well opiates are safe, as long as you know your dose. Especially something as weak as Hydrocodone.

Give me a bit to find some info on Kratom, I will get back to ya,

 

I had the 8X extract I believe from Indonesia and the common dose for that was 10g-20g as I remember. I had 13.5g-14g in 4-5 tablesoons that I swallowed with lots of water (went through 1L-1.5L of water by the time it was done) with no experience with Kratom my first time and no opioid tolerence, however my tolerence to opioids is a lot higher due to about 6-7years of everyday opiate and opioid abuse. I found that half a Gravol wasn't enough so I took another half 10min or so after I had finished the whole thing. I ened up with about 1 and a half pills of gravol over 30min and no upset stomach or vomiting problems. I also smoked high grade weed but only took small hits for the stomach and not to get high.

It comes on about 30min later and really comes on strong 1hr-1 1/2hrs into it. It feels very wierd for a narcotic. It isn't as wierd as Demerol but its very hard to catch a nod on it and I often mix other downers with it and find I smoke a lot of weed on it due to its stimulant nature though rather than a stimulant it feels better described as an awake feeling and more similar to the afterglow of MDMA than anything else with some narcotic added in the mix.

 

Oh if u want some tips on taking it straight up and chasing it with water or pop/tea/beer, etc:

1. Put up to a table spoon max under ur touge....
2. Get the liquid in your mouth and swirl it around everywhere esp under your tounge
3. Chase the liquid in ur mouth and the 'mush' that feels like mud now with some more liquid down into ur stomach
4. Listen to your body and repeat

By the time ur done there should be no little trace of kratom in your mouth. Mabye if there is u should do a mouth wash.

 

YOU SHOULD NEVER SMOKE IT
