Oral use - Kratom reduction

[skylined]

SWIM hates ingesting kratom, the texture of toss & wash leaves make him gag, and diluted powder makes him want to puke, he thinks he'll have to eat 20 veggie caps to get the dose he likes... so today he made a tea...

He took 2/3 cup of water, and 15 grams of "Premium Commercial" leaves... he microwaved this, and stirred it multiple times... then strained it through a coffee filter. He put the leaves back in the cup with enough water to barely cover them, and repeated the microwaving and scraping process another 10 times... and then strained this. He put both strained batches into a pot and made sure to squeeze any remaining water out of the leaves with a coffee filter. He then boiled the strained water until it was reduced to about half a full shot glass, he filled the remainder with honey to kill the EXTREMELY bitter kratom reduction. The "shot" was very dark, almost looked like Guinness beer.

SWIM backed the shot, and ate a quick dinner, then hopped in the shower. He started feeling very warm and comfortable, he felt insanely relaxed... The oncoming buzz felt much cleaner than normal, there was no flushing, no stomach issues. SWIM felt very confident and talkative, even considered going to his NA meetings. SWIM feels he lost a little potency in this process, but it was much easier to ingest and it got rid any negative side effects... SWIM thinks this would be a perfect dose if he had to be in a professional environment, job interview, etc where he would normally suffer from his anxiety. SWIM has become quite fond of kratom, not only is it helping with his anxiety and his depression, but it is also helping him discontinue his use of marijuana by suppressing cravings, and helping with the restlessness he has from quitting a very long history of marijuana use.

Thanks for the interesting post mate, Maybe SWIY might try creating a tincture by using alcohol which could help to save more of the lost alkaloids ? SWIM uses capsules to ingest his K but this method could well be a useful thing to try someday.

As far as dealing with the mulchy, cinnamon test sort of texture goes, mixing with yogurt might work wonders for SWIY, as long as the K is not all veiny and coarse. It supposedly covers the taste completely, too, without losing potency.

Why not just make tea?

I have recently started to be able to handle the tea chased with lime juice (like lemonade, but with limes... not straight lime juice ) . I get a numb feeling in my mouth and the effects become effective rather quickly using 15-20grams in tea. I get effects very similar, if not better... than a lower dose of methadone. This is a wonderful plant if used properly, I have been sober from alcohol (i'm an alcoholic) and other drugs for a month now and alot of it has to do with this plant. It is excellent for suppressing cravings, depression, and severe anxiety... Be smart please, let's keep this plant legal and not support it as just another recreational drug.
