best way to use kratom

[daveman]

i just ordered some off ebay, ive read it can be smoked and mixed into a tea. anyone tried smoking it? whatsit taste like? and as for making it into a tea, i think ive done enough research to figure that out.


also which way is best for achieving the desired effect? thanks alot fellas

For me, the best way is to simply cap it up in gel caps and eat it that way.
I am fortunate to have a very low threshhold with this allie, so I can get
good effects with as little as 5 00 caps of commercial grade.

Smoking it gave a more stimulated effect, which was shorter lived.

Tea tasted so bitter that after 6 attempts I almost gave up on kratom due
to taste alone.

Kratom resin was alright to eat, but is much more time consuming them
gel caps.

Just a note, kratom resin can be put into gel caps also... either breaking off small pieces until the gel cap is full, or grinding it up (I'd recommend the first, since it tends to be sticky sometimes and doesn't grind very well). About two '00' caps for typical stuff should be plenty. Takes a good while to have an effect and comes on gradually, since both the gelcaps and resin have to dissolve... personally I don't care for resin much.

I also used to get good effects from 5 '00' caps of commercial grade (not anymore with my tolerance), so either I'm a lightweight too or we're both buying from excellent sources. I got used to the bitterness of the tea after awhile, but it can be completely killed by adding plenty of milk and sugar. It tastes like chamomile once the bitterness is gone. Tea definitely comes on faster, but I think you can get by with less kratom using capsules.

Edit -- only powder works well in gelcaps... if it's crushed or whole leaf, tea will probably be necessary.Edited by: Nicaine
