10x kratom or just crushes kratom leaves?

[Female]

SWIM is experienced with Kratom and knows her dosage limits, but SWIM this time is considering a different vendor than her first experience with Kratom was. Her first vendor was very expensive but good experience but SWIM just can't afford that vendor anymore! So the question is, on this newer vendor that seems reputable, there is offered 10x and just crushed leaf. The extract is obviously more money than the leaf, but her experience before with Kratom she thinks was just the plain leaf..though she's not sure. Just how strong is 10x, or is there really not that much to worry about since she'll make a tea out of it anyways?

SWIM's got some 10x on the way in the mail, should be here day after tomorrow... until then, can't comment. He hasn't gotten any crappy commercial grade Bali crushed leaf for a very, very long time tho... it's almost always good nowadays.

Female, SWIM said to stick with the leaf, especially if SWIY is making tea out of it. From what SWIM hears making tea out of the extract is not very good, and the extract is just meant to be eaten. From discussions with SWIOP, SWIM feels confident that all of the extracts are just plain not worth the money.

I agree. I have not found any worthwhile kratom extracts yet.
