If you want to give the green buddha a ride before it gets banned this guide will help you pick out the right strain. And as a way of saying thank you please use the Street Fight affiliate link at the top (click the post title) or bottom of this page! The prices are excellent compared to most online retailers and the quality is top notch. It’s the only kratom Brett and Bryan use.
What is kratom?
It is a tropical deciduous and evergreen tree in the coffee family native to Southeast Asia in the Indochina and Malaysia. Mitragyna speciosa (the nerdy name for kratom) is indigenous to Thailand where it has been used in traditional medicine.
When you drink kratom powder at high doses it activates the opiate receptors in your brain which creates a painkiller like effect. It eases aches and pains and gives you a good melty feeling. It is much milder than manufactured opiates so it is often used to help people quit oxy, heroin, and even alcohol. At lower doses kratom is great for focusing, relieving stress, and anxiety.
As a powder, it’s just as safe as a cup of coffee. The highly potent extracts made by manipulating and concentrating the leaf were creating some of the shocking stories in the news that lead to the ban.
That being said we will always give you the whole truth and that is if you do a large dose (10g - 20g) you can get itchy like popping pills and some people could vomit (good shit, right?), but eventually, it just knocks you out. Also if you do too much (over 20g) you will have a really hard lava-poop-baby. So be warned.
How much do I need?
Basically, for most average sized people who are just now trying it you will only need the amount below. As times goes on and you get comfortable you will find how much you need. Also, I am only 170 lbs, Bryan is a bigger dude and has been using it for a while so he takes 1 - 2 tbs now.
One teaspoon is like 2.5 grams. 1tsp Feel alert and clear 2tsp Get a buzz 3tsp Relax at night 4tsp Tie one on
so 100 grams of kratom powder will get you about 10 body melting experiences or 40 bursts of mental clarity. It’s up to you!
What’s THE BEST kratom?
White seems to be the most intense. You’re definitely gonna feel “drugged out”. More likely to get a heavy body high, face numbness.
from the kratom bible
“ White vein kratom has a very strong following, and can be highly effective for conditions such as depression and lack of focus/energy. Of all the vein types, white vein shows the most potential as a nootropic (cognition enhancing) substance. Many have found that using this vein type first thing in the morning to be a great substitute for coffee due to it’s “clean” effects on alertness and focus. Pain Relief: 1/3 Energy: 3/3″
Red is euphoric but still has the painkiller effects. Take a teaspoon before work for the mental clarity and energy boost.
from the kratom bible
“Red vein kratom is one of the most popular due to its natural tendency toward higher levels of 7-hydroxymitragynine, which leads to impressive pain-killing effects, sedation, as well as anxiety and stress relief.Red veins also tends to be less at the mercy of individual brain chemistry; whereas white and green vein strains often effect people variably.This is one of the reasons red vein thai (RVT) is so popular among kratom users –it combines both heavy levels of energy from it’s Thai influences, with the red vein painkilling effects — leaving the strain stimulating but very well-rounded. Pain Relief: 3/3 Energy: 1/3″
Green is in the middle and for me overall very pleasurable in both body high and mental clarity. Makes me feel joyous.
from the kratom bible
“For those who prefer neither the sedation of red veins, or the stimulation of white veins, green vein kratom may be the best solution. Green vein strains are much more moderate in their effects than other the other vein varieties and can provide the best of both worlds, making them commonly used as a daily kratom.Green vein strains can also provide nootropic effects, and are generally less at the whim of personal brain chemistry than white vein strains tend to be. Pain Relief: 2/3 Energy: 1.5/3″
Maeng Da is available for all colors. It’s a more powerful kind because the stem has been filtered out so you get more leaf in the powder.
How Do I Use Kratom?
Kratom has a very unique (nice way to say awful to most) taste. Once you realize how badass it is though the flavor tastes good (like the feelgood sensation of snorting butt dust off the back of a bar toilet). To me, it tastes similar to Yerba Mate but I thnk the best description is from a friend who said: “it tastes like the rainforest.”
Simplest way to do it. Dilute in water and shake or stir.
If you are a picky eater and already feel like you can’t hang here are the best liquids to cut through the flavor.
Orange juice or Grapefruit juice are kratom potentiators meaning they will give your leaf a boost but it also hides the flavor very well.
I find that lemon actually cuts through the bitterness the best. So if I’m gonna be running around during the day I will mix a TBS of kratom with 20 oz of water and a whole lemon.
Recipe for Bretts super simple kratom shot
2 tsp Kratom
1 tbs Honey
whip with a fork until smooth and shiny
put a shot of Oj in the glass and whip it all together.
Chug-a-lug and off you go.
Chocolate milk is also a great masker of kratom flavor
Applesauce is also an easy way to devour some kratom. Add honey and cinnamon for the pickiest eaters.
