Speciociliatine
So it’s been over a year since somebody has asked about this obscure alkaloid in this sub. Also not a ton of information about it elsewhere. Now that certain alkaloid isolates are a thing, I expect to see more of the obscure ones pop up in isolated preparations. And since there is no current list of effects from this alkaloid I found, I figured I would like to try to create this page as a resource for the effects of speciociliatine .

Do they sell kratom in Las Vegas?
I’m going for a couple of nights. I’m taking some with me, but just in case they don’t allow me to fly with it.

New Jersey Update
Hi all,
Hope you’re doing well! I’m sure this would’ve been posted if you had any information, but wondering the status of the NJ bill. I remember reading that the commission is out for summer but now that summer is over was curious. Any chance you guys think this may impact NY? Also, any news on the NY KCPA? Mike Lawler and Corey Booker both support a federal KCPA so that gives me some hope.
Thank you!

Kratom Resin?
I was given some kratom resin from a friend, does anyone have experience with it or how to use it? How much to take?
Appreciate any help in advance!

Some toss and wash tips.
This is inspired by a post where someone got kratom in their lungs. I wanted to share some tips that help a lot to prevent this.
First of all put a bit of water in your mouth first, then the kratom and then drink it down with more water. This prevents dry powder from making you cough and helps you not taste it.
Secondly breathe in and hold your breath during the t&w. This way if you accidentally breath it's out and not in.
Lastly its much easier to take several small spoons than one large spoon at once.
With all this i have never messed up once and usually don't even taste anything. the worst that happens is that it hits the back of my throat while drinking and leaves a slight bitterness.
Hope this helps some of you that struggle with t&w!

When do you start experiencing withdrawal symptoms?
I sometimes get restless after just 3 hours. At night I often wake up restless after 5 or 6 hours of sleep and can continue sleeping after a small dose. Sometimes I sleep for 8 hours straight and only then take something again. It is often the restlessness and helplessness that makes me take the next dose. What are your experiences in this regard?

Why did you quit kratom?
I am almost 2 months off it and I’m wondering why I ever quit since it was the one thing that helped me with not only my depression but ADHD and anxiety.
Besides constipation I never had any bad side effects. I’m looking for a reason to not take it because for me I feel the benefits outweigh the risks.
Thanks 😊

Seeking experiences with quitting or breaks
Hi all, would love to hear from people who have quit or taking long breaks from kratom. Preferably those who have used it to treat conditions (physical pain, autoimmune fatigue etc.) but would like to hear all!
Unfortunately the place I live has decided to make it even more difficult to acquire, and after many years of using this magnificent plant I may have to say good bye for awhile.
What was your experience? Did your symptoms ease up or get worse? Any alternatives (besides cbd/thc) that help instead?
Thanks :)

First time trying a shot and last time. 29F
But not first time trying leaf. As a veteran, someone who has worked in law enforcement in the past and now with a just as stressful job, I’m preferring to take a more natural approach to keep the thoughts at bay.
I’m sober from alcohol as well on my own accord. Thankfully.
Basically I haven’t been on Kratom long. Like a month and I only take it every other day.
My girlfriend introduced me to it. Didn’t force it, only suggested it and I can say I prefer this so much more over medication and alcohol. We’re both sober and it’s helped her get off alcohol.
But also the shots, holy shit. First and last time. I’m TOOOOO mellowed out. It did its damn job. Sheesh. 😂
I had to throw up.
But again, it did its job. 😂

Will Kratom help you pass a drug test?
I'm a 25-30g daily user. I live in Tampa FL where we have kava/Kratom bars everywhere so i drink it in processed teas (about 32oz a day). I smoke delta 8 (the legal form)3-4 times a day. I have a drug test coming up by the end of next week. I'm wondering if the kava/Kratom I drink will help flush it out of my system since I'm peeing all the time and I'm walking around at 150lbs.

Dear kratom family
Don't be like the people that have ostracized kratom and it's users. Ya know the dea, big pharma, big media. They don't like kratom for various reasons, so they try to ban it. They mis understand it and demonize it. They even spread out right lies about it. We're all pretty use to it and I'd imagine it sickens most of us. So it upsets me when a portion of the kratom community is ostracized by another portion of the kratom community for using and enjoying certain kratom derived products specifically 7-Hydroxymitragynine. Most are upset simply because they're scared it's going to get regular leaf banned. That is simply not a good reason to call for bans yourself. Things should not be this way. You shouldn't have to fear your favored product is going to be banned because of a different one existing. Especially because this different product is not that dangerous. Just like our beloved plain leaf. But politics are gonna be politics and try to serve their interests and put us against each other in the process. We should be working together to keep safe kratom products available for properly informed people to have.
Tldr: don't act like those who have demonized kratom in regard to extracts because you're scared extracts are gonna ban kratom. Especially when these extracts alone are fairly safe and effective. The parrelles between the media demonizing kratom and the pure leaf only crowd demonizing extracts is gross.

Is a higher mit/alkaloid percentage actually that much better?
It seems like we are concerned about such small percentage differences when we could just take half a gram more to make up for that difference. The only time I could see it matter is when someone is taking large doses. But, for us taking under 10 GPD I don't see it making much of a difference. Or am I missing something here? I'm genuinely curious.

How long do Kratom capsules take to kick in?
I usually take powder and just toss and wash. Normally it takes about 20-30 minutes for it to start working. How long would kratom in pill form take?

Dosing differently on empty stomach versus after eating?
I usually take 5g on an empty stomach in the morning (I don't eat breakfast generally).
I notice the effects usually within 20 minutes.
If I take the same 5g after a meal (regardless of if I took any earlier in the day or not), I feel almost no effect. If I increase the dose by about 1.5g I notice it's comparable to the empty stomach 5g effects.
Does anyone else adjust dosage based on food intake? Or is this weird?

Does green make you initially anxious before you feel better?
Or is it just like coffee and keeps you stimulated
I have bad anxiety. I’m not happy about taking non-prescription kratom to manage it but I’ve exhausted everything else.
I took a green strain today and I noticed the jitters. It felt how it feels when I drink coffee. Jitters/dread/anxiety.
But I thought someone posted that it starts with jitters before “it gets good”.
So do I wait and see or do I pop a benzo and calm myself TF down?

Taking a one-time dose of naltrexone after a break from kratom to reset tolerance?
I usually take kratom 3-5 days per week (a combination of powder and extracts), and I look forward to vacations as opportunities to abstain from kratom tolerance altogether and (hopefully) reset my tolerance.
Anyways, I went on a vacation week before last and ended up not taking any kratom for 12 days. On Monday night, I took a small fragment of a 50 mg naltrexone pill (probably no more than 5-6 mg) because I'd heard that naltrexone can reset opioid receptor tolerance.
So just a few hours ago, I took my first dose of kratom since going CT for 12 days, and I'm disappointed to say that I hardly feel anything from it. Could it be that the naltrexone is blocking the effects of kratom?
FWIW, I took the one-time naltrexone dose about 32 hours before I took kratom earlier today, so I would assume that the opioid receptor-blocking effects would've ceased by now (especially since studies show that even a 50 mg naltrexone dose only blocks opioid receptors for 24-48 hrs).

How to get it to hit hard again
First off, I am aware a tolerance break is the best way. I am going to have a two week break starting next week due to travel.
But for the meantime, I would like to get that awesome wave of strong hitting euphoria back, for the next couple days before my break.
I’m at ~12gpd, separated by two doses. First one is ~6-7g, second is ~5-6g.
When I take a higher dose, it doesn’t really change much. I have also tried turmeric/black pepper potentiation. It only helps minimally.
Any pointers would be amazing, thank you.

Toss & wash dangers
I coughed somehow during the process of toss & wash. Big mistake. Huge. My life flashed before my eyes as fine powder sprayed my throat and lungs. I wondered what my husband would think finding me on the floor with a measuring spoon in my hand and green powder all over the floor. I still have burning in my throat. I’m sipping on milk like a wounded cat. I keep getting really bitter reflux in the back of my throat that tastes like kratom and makes my voice sound like Clint Eastwood. Fuck me

Kratom break
Hey y'all, I'm just wondering if any of you that take kratom extracts, have tried to quit or take a break; if so, what helped you?
I've been spending way too much money on extracts and I want to take a break and reset my tolerance. I do have prescriptions for gabapentin and diazepam, which I don't really like to take, because I prefer kratom, but I've heard those can help with withdrawal.
I just wanna hear some success stories and how you did it?
BTW, I take extracts because I naturally have high tolerance for pretty much everything. My doctor says that my body is just too good at processing stuff like that and things like pain killers and even anesthesia during surgery don't work the same way for me as they do for others. Sorry for the run-on sentence. Lol.

Motivation Combo
I'm just sharing something that has been working for me for a while. When I split a dose and take half white and half red, it's like a motivation combo.
I imagine it as mixing energy (white) with pain reduction (red). Somehow, when I take this combo, I find myself wanting to be productive and actually being productive, more so than any single type.
I figure someone here might find that interesting.

Did my kratom go bad?
I bought some kratom online 2 years ago, and took it a few times. It came in capsules, and I took it both from the capsules and broke them open and took it just powder form. Up to like 8g. I didn't really feel anything, I honestly thought it was bunk.
Well recently, I broke open just two capsules (.55g each) and took some. I got an intense stimulant effect and had crazy diarrhea.
I know it normally has the opposite effect (constipation rather than diarrhea), so I am scared to try it again even though it seemed stronger than in the past.
I live in an extremely dry climate, and the kratom was in capsules so it shouldn't be growing mold or anything. It tasted fine to me?? I am just wondering if it could have "gone bad" or something? Any idea why it would cause diarrhea along with a pretty strong stimulant effect?

Layer floating on top when making "lazy tea." Is this normal?
So I make "lazy tea" with a technique I've started calling the "stir & sink" method.
Heat cold water on the stove until it's hot to the touch.
Pour into a glass.
Dump kratom on top.
Stir well for 2 minutes or so.
Add a tsp of honey.
Stir well again for about 2 mins.
Let it sit for 15+ mins for all the plant matter to sink to the bottom.
Then drink the tea infusion that's left on top and discard the remaining plant matter on the bottom into the sink.
I started doing this to avoid any potential stomach upset from consuming the plant matter, and it works rather well to my surprise.
With the last batch I had it would all sink to the bottom. But with this recent batch, I've noticed that after it settles, there's a layer of plant matter that floats at the top of the glass.
Just wondering if anyone else makes tea with powder and could say if this is normal? Or what factors could potentially contribute to a layer that floats on top?

Question
So I've been ordering from this site for about 2 months now I've tried about 5 of their green strains and they all have different names ect but now hear me out.
They all have the exact same color like no difference, the taste has no difference there is one green that is somewhat more acid than others, potency does vary between them but not every type only like 1-2 strain have a stronger potency than the others, I feel like this site just has all these labels but have the same Kratom. I'm not complaining their stuff is really good except some red strain which have like really no potency. Can someone idk give a insight ?
Hope y'all have a great day :)
