Has anyone heard of Kratom or tried it?

Hey there!
Red Maeng Da strain for pain, white strains for energy : Its like anything else, you just need to use safely. Start small and go big depending on your pain. Its the only thing I have successfully found to help with the edge, but nobody had addressed my pain. I researched for hours and quality definitely matters here....but the strains all do different things.
Capsules are my preferred. Definitely dont take on an empty tummy....kratom vomit is very earthy and makes your mouth feel hairy because its ground leaves.

I’ve been using it for a few years. I would highly recommend googling “Reddit vendors of Kratom” and starting there for a list of good approved vendors.
I use a mix of mainly red (for pain) and some greens for mood and pain. I would recommend starting really low dosing and using a scale to measure your dose (I use a scale with oblate papers for home and I make capsules for work because it’s cheaper to buy the powder and make my own capsules).
I take about 2-3 grams every 4 to 6 hours. I would recommend taking about 1 to 2 grams to start to see how it affects you. It has been a lifesaver for me. Drink plenty of water and don’t be surprised if Kratom causes you to be constipated. I would recommend against mixing Kratom with any other substances, like alcohol. It also can lower your seizure threshold, so if you’re prone to seizures I would maybe try it very slowly and be aware that seizures can happen.
