How do you guys feel about kratom? I've used it on and off for over 5 years, and I've had extremely varied opinions about it.
At one point, actually a couple of months ago, I thought that for me, personally, I was done with kratom. I felt like I had more bad experiences than good with it (in terms of making my mental health better)/ I felt like perhaps it wasn't worth it, which is why I had barely touched it for over a year (possibly two years- I'm starting to lose count of years these days because everything seems to be going by fast).
however I decided to start a kratom business recently, because I know there is a market for it. I sampled some from this supplier.
And I figured out that there was this strain that works quite well for me. Literally makes me more motivated and my mood is better, and I feel more relaxed too. I wonder to what this was owing? You can feel the opioid part of it for sure but there's something more to it than that. It seems to combine well with my medications too.
Basically my hope for kratom is rekindled because I am finding it therepeutic myself.
Also, the whole dependence thing doesn't bug me because it's very easy for me to kick, and also, I'd rather be dependent on something that is actually therepeutic then to wake up and have no option but to feel like a bag of shit when i wake up. (for those who know me here you know my mental illness affects me daily).
Unfortunately the particular strain i got, i only had a small sample of that lasted about a week or so. But fortunately I will be getting a lot more from my supplier and will sell in Canada and to the US to make it more accessible.
During the week I was on it, everyone at work was vibing with me. One friend even made a comment that I seemed different and that they liked what they were seeing. I hadn't divulged being on any sort of plant or other material at that time.
FOr anyone worried about stomach issues, or if you experience them at all, i highly recommend boiling and straining LOOSE LEAF instead of powder. Your result then may vary. If you can't get loose leaf and you only have powder , the other thing to do is to pour it through your paper coffee filter in your coffee machine, if you have a coffee machine. You can use one, two or three paper filters and it will get rid of all the undigestable plant matter that I personally believe is a big factor in stomach cramping, for those of us prone. (it's not the reason entirely but it's a huge part of it).
This strain of kratom that I like basically makes me feel a lot more normal instead of feeling fucked up from mental illness. It's cool. I can't be a stoner who chillaxes on weed because that stuff is bad for me, so i feel almost like this is a green thing that works for me that isn't weed, and also with the right strain I can function perfectly normal at work. In fact there have been days my performance is far above my usual. I was surprised.
***note for moderators/admin*** i just realized there's a little button before posting that asks if my post relates to any of the following: "A specific company, vendor, supplier or branded product?".. I don't think mine does.. right? I don't know lol i just clicked No. I'm, not sure if that button is like "potentially i could be talking about that if interpreted that way" or if it's directly asking me if I'm trying to sell something or promote a brand/ mentioning a brand name/seller.
