Oral use - eating kratom vs kratom tea method vs capping kratom

[sands of time]

As of late, I have become curious as to what everyones favorite route of consumption is when it comes to kratom.

For the last 4-6 months, I have been eating my kratom in apple sauce, pudding, ect. Before that, I always made the tea. I think eating offers stronger effects which last longer, but a bigger tolerance is built. The tea tastes bad, seems to have less effects, but it hits quicker. Also, repeat dosing is a bit more effective with tea, while with eating, repeating the doses seems to bring more negative effects and very little boosting. For awhile, I would make the tea and eat the grounds at a later time. Kratom kicks ass any way you use it though hehe.

SWIM's kratom is strong but tastes horrible, so SWIM has taken to capping and eating about 5 g at a time. Seems to be a little less intense than applesauce and slower on, but works well. SWIMs theory is that stomach acid allows the best extraction of the herb, and anything which will decrease the amount of contact with stomach acid will decrease effects, hence capsules decrease the effect. If something of this nature were not the case, you would expect equivalent activity from eating loose powdered leaf.

Karl my big mean bunny was somewhat disgruntled he got fed kratom in caps one time because it needed twice as much for similar effects according to him.
His pet hamster blaimed it on the labtemp who had compressed the kratom in the caps with the head of nail to get as much in there as possible.
Both still prefer the drinking of the tea and even find the taste somewhat satisfying, they both use kratom super strength powder to obtain their buzz.

Swim likes to eat it when he has somthing to do that day. Drinking it, swim says, is more for sitting infront of the tv and zoneing out. Tea seems to be stronger but very short lived, eating is milder but much longer lasting and seems to be more synergetic with the up and down. But like everything in the world it is dependents on the person.

The donkey in SWIM's Shrek clone movie script prefers eating. Mixed with gruel, slop, applesauce, yogurt, etc.

Although come-on takes longer, he feels it gives best effect per dollar, lasts longer (and on, and on), and is most palatable.

Donkey can't stand waste, or `fiend-ish` behaviour - such as: FASTER, HARDER, where-is-it-going-must-take-more!!!!!!!!!

Smart-ass donkey.

SWIM caps UEI....works a charm

does that produce consistent effects? particurlary between batches.

SWIM's swimming coach has never found a suitable dose, on two occasions (first times ages ago) got very heavy, horribly nauseating effects (much more so than synthetic opioids or opiates) and since then using a variety of different types of extracts, resin cakes, UEI, got zero effects from capping (even high doses).

SWIM's swimming coach currently has no tolerance to opioids or any other drug. Gets quite an effect from most opioids & doesn't require high doses of many drugs. Finds kratom a very strange herb with some serious bioavailability issues in SWIM.

SWIM boils 6-8.5 gm of powdered plant material, boils it in 2.5-3 cups of water for two minutes, mixes it with hot chocolate mix, and downs it. Sometimes SWIM mixes it with alcohol beforehand then boils the alcohol off. (7-OHM is more soluble in alcohol than in water, this is in hopes of extracting more 7-OHM from the plant material.)

My horse says he prefers kratom ground gel-capped-- every time. Convenient to take on the go, as he likes kratom for outdoor activities like hiking, and lacking that vile kratom taste.

[Intoxicating Dreams]

My bug-eyed bat begins by using 6 grams of the herb and using a blender, grinds it with enough 80 proof vodka to cover it well. The bat then microwaves it until it reaches a boil. Buggy (my bat) lets it brew for 5 minutes. She does her microwave thang 3 times and after the last 5 minutes of brewing she ingests one half of the liquid and grit on an empty stomach for a nice stimulating high; or all of it for the more opioid effect. Even in the half dose it helps Buggy with her pain and she enjoys the awake feeling.
This is Buggy's first 4 oz. of kratom and when she is waiting for her perscription of vicoden to come up for renewel, she feels that the krat is a helpful bridge.

SWIM's cats find that gel-capped kratom is most convenient for them. They own a plastic capping device, which makes 50 caps at a time, in about 10 minutes from start to finish. It really does help them "cap m quik". Those crazy cats got the 000 size machine, since they prefer to swallow fewer larger-size pills. The cats report a packed 000 cap contains about .86g of powdered kratom.

The cats believe that stomach contents AND time-of-day are big factors in the effects of ingested kratom. They can take a dose shortly after waking on an empty stomach and get strong effects, while the same dose later in the day will do virtually nothing.

Yeh, Capping with doses around 4grams every 3-4 hours, give a wonderfull high for about three cycles and then Sleppy time.
