Wtf is Kratom? What does it do? Cba to google tbh.

Kratom is a tree of asia, its leaves can be ingested to relieve pain, for energy, to help with sleep, anxiety, depression, helps to be more social and can give a great buzz. Its helped all of my symptoms a ton and helped me get back into a work out routine. It has its drawbacks, its about as addictive as caffeine with some strains (mostly red veins) being more addictive and having worse withdrawals. About as severe as it would ever get is giving you the shits for a few days and feeling uncomfortable and that would be coming cold turkey off of a multi month long heavy use of a red vein type, which is more of a painkiller. Green veins are pretty moderate and white veins are more uppers. There are exceptions. Its pretty great stuff to use in place of prescription pain killers and anti depressants. Its legal as well. There is a lot of negative media hype about it which is mostly all bullshit.

I order my kratom from mmmspeciosa.com usually, they always give me 2 or 3 sample bags with my order too which is nice to try new types. When I take a nice green vein kratom my social anxiety absolutely disappears. All in all prescription meds are much more dangerous and have much worse withdrawal periods, toss back a spoonful of kratom with some orange juice and you'll be feeling great. Just wish the changes could be permanent. I'm currently on a break from it to get my tolerance back down and all the anxiety and agitation came right back as soon as it left my system.

This guy is a (self admitted) douchebag but he goes over kratom usage in pretty good detail, he promotes a different website to buy it from though and I haven't ordered from him so I don't know how it is.

Nice, before I order some, does it completely dull your senses like alcohol and weed or are you still aware of your demeanour and speech?

I have to rely on alcohol and cigarettes in a lot of situations but I always end up saying awkward, inappropriate things which as you can imagine, doesn't do me any favours on dates.

It will only make you a little out of it at high doses (10+ grams), 2 grams or less for a beginner is a good amount and you would still have good clarity and even on some strains increased clarity. To start I would suggest just using a tablespoon full with something like orange juice, helps make it not taste so bad, and helps it go down easier. It tends to get clumpy and hard to swallow with just water and room temperature drinks work best. But yeah its not at all like how alcohol muddles up your head. I'm on it all the time and no one can ever tell.

could i mix this with a protein shake?

I imagine it would work, I might try that next time I have some. It does definitely work a lot better on an empty stomach. I usually take it in the morning and let it activate while I'm making breakfast and then later in the day like an hour after meals.

Got some Maeng Da kratom. Going to try some tonight. I've been into herbs or drugs because i've tried to take a disciplined approach to improvement based upon personal strength and not short-cuts. But I need all the confidence I can get atm.

I've drank this stuff with orange juice a year ago hoping to find rewarding results but it didn't do shit for me. I tried many times hoping I'd get some sort of effect but I felt the same. The only thing it made me feel was repulsion and dread. The taste is the worst thing ever. It's really fucking bad.

I'm glad it helped you, OP.

Had some powdered variety with some grapefruit juice yesterday, hard to tell if it had any effect. I didn't take that much though, so i'll try some next time i go out for the night
