Oral use - Does sugar ruin kratom?

[JKLJKLJKL]

OK, SWIM and his friends did kratom a while ago, 27g divided by about six of us. SWIM was the only one who felt anything, the rest said they thought they did for a minute or so and then it went away. SWIM felt it for about 5 minutes, though swim did use a bit more. It wasnt that intense, and just felt like 60mg of codiene, slight relaxation and slight increased appreciation of music.

SWIM only had one teaspoon of sugar as he quite liked the taste, SWIM's friends had 4 or 5 teaspoons of sugar to manage it.

Is SWIM a lightweight? Or did the sugar in the kratom tea cut out the effects?

It was double strained.

Thanks in advance.


Edit:
Maybe it was less than that, hold on I'll check the place I got it from.
Can't find it, but going by ebay's prices, it seems it would have been between 15-27grams based on the current prices and what I remember paying for it.

Divided by six, thats between 2 and 4/5 grams each, SWIM didn't consider this was a big dose, SWIM has read 15grams being needed in some cases?
