@burningfeetinphoenix Hi Pam, I did not think they could be, so I went right to the powder. However, I do not know for sure. I know when I take the powder, within about 5 minutes, or less, I can feel the Kratom. I just bite the bullet, and chug it down. Not so bad. Just take a piece of hard candy afterwards. I like Kratom more than marijuana because I only get very tranquil, not high. I save marijuana for when I have had just a horrid foot day, and need to escape completely. Is that just sad, or what? Can you get Kratom? I am confused..... Lori Renee
