Even just a few grams will give me a brutal headache a few hours later?
Sometimes hydrating helps, but not always. A shit ton of water + a liquid IV and my head is still aching.
I seriously don’t understand how people can take ridiculous amounts like 30 grams per day and not get a banging headache.

Is Kratom & Adderall a dangerous combo?
Kratom has helped me with so many issues. PTSD, pain, mood & social ability to name a few. I was diagnosed with ADHD a year ago and started taking Adderall 20mg twice a day.
In my last routine urinalysis, the Dr. found Kratom in my system and at the follow up she told me I’m not allowed to take the combo because Kratom is like meth and opioids mixed and could cause seizures! I’ve never felt bad taking them both.
Next time I go, I will be tested. How can this be happening with a supplement sold over the counter? Why is the medical community so against Kratom?
Just looking for advice - thanks.

How many grams per day do you consume?
I am between 12-15g per day, comparing my dosage to the recommended dosage on the package I started feeling guilty that I was taking a bit much, but I have no idea. what sort of dosage do you guys consume per day?

Kratom is safe and effective
If you search kratom on google the first thing you will find is an article by mayo clinic stating that kratom is unsafe and ineffective. When I started trying it I was a bit nervous because of the bad wrap that it has surrounding it online. After doing a whole bunch of research I found real people saying that it had saved them from all kinds of things including substance problems and pain. I have now been taking this plant for a year and have continued doing research on it throughout that time. I had a bit of an issue with drinking. Not to the degree that it was ruining my life but to a degree that I felt a change needed to be made. At this point I do still drink from time to time but it has reduced to about 10% of my previous intake. I have also stopped taking kratom for periods of up to a week at a time just to take a break. I have not noticed any serious withdrawal symptoms when doing so. It would appear that the data provided online is widely swayed towards what the “powers that be” want you to believe and not based on facts. I am only posting this here in hopes that somebody who is nervous as I was will read it and decide what is best for them. I feel that kratom has helped me and do not believe that even half of the public information surrounding this plant is accurate. With that said I am not a doctor. Just a self educated person that would like to see people enjoy their life to the best if their own ability.
Cheers

Arkansas Bill to Reverse Ban Passes out of Committee
The American Kratom Association is thrilled to announce that the Arkansas Kratom Consumer Protection Act, SB534, took a major step forward with a unanimous “do pass” recommendation by the Senate Public Health, Welfare and Labor Committee.
The AKA legislative team and scientists were on-site yesterday and have been working in Arkansas for years to try and replace criminalization with consumer protection. Still a long way to go but great progress.

Lowered to 7g and still feeling similar levels of chill
As someone who daily for years was taking 15 to 20g. Equating to around 70g per day.
I've cut it down, this morning with my coffee I've taken 7g and will be limiting to one hit.
Fingers crossed it works out as I still feel my anxiety melting away

Kratom = FELONY in Arkansas. No one seems to know there's a bill trying to change that..
The Arkansas Department of Health classified kratom as a schedule 1 narcotic in 2015. They held a ONE day forum open to the public, except no one knew about it because it was buried in other agenda dockets.
Guess who showed up though? A doctor that owned a local methadone clinic and realized he was losing customers. He faced zero pushback and it was criminalized shortly after.
Possession of just 2 grams of kratom is a Class D felony in Arkansas, the same as heroin. 28+ grams has a penalty of up to 20 years in prison.
Fortunately, there's FINALLY a bill trying to stop this madness. Unfortunately, no one seems to know about it... just like when they criminalized it.
For the love of God, please help spread the word. This is absolute madness.
This is the bill:
SB534 - TO ESTABLISH THE ARKANSAS KRATOM CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT; AND TO REMOVE MITRAGYNINE AND 7-HYDROXYMITRAGYNINE, ALSO KNOWN AS KRATOM, FROM THE CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES LIST IN ARKANSAS.

body stuff. Over 1 year.
Does anybody else take this frequently? three times a day. how do you deal with the constipation and the, sorry sorry sorry, wide dookies? I'm getting hemroids constantly. I asked google and I am taking docusate with sennoside. I drink over a gallon ot water a day, I eat very little fast food. I am a mechanic so I'm not stationary and I lift wheels/ tires hourly.
I worry the hemroids would turn into Collen/ other cancer due to the abnormal condition I'm putting myself thru.
I can't quit yet this is part harm reduction part energy supplementing while I'm in trade school.

Just took a 22g tablespoon
It's 12am and i can't sleep. I normally take between 9 and 12g throughout the day for pain.
My insomnia is being a pain tonight so I saw online 15g and up has a sedative effect so I weighed out a heaped dessert spoon which was 22g gram of powdered leaf. Super maeng dai.
Fingers crossed it knocks me out.
Just wanted to see if anyone else has tried kratom for the sedation effect?
Apologies for grammer/typos I'm on mobile.
Thanks,

Is hydroxyzine a good substitute for kratom?

Is old kratom good?
Hi all!
About 5 yrs ago, I started to get really into kratom. I bought a lot of samples and larger amts. It seemed to work okay for pain. Then, unrelated, I had to have a bowel resection (diverticulitis). Constipation became a huge issue so I stopped using kratom. Now I'm wondering, is that old stuff still good? Or should I just toss it?
Thanks!

Blood work 3 year 20gpd user
Got blood work done as it had been 4ish years since I checked my liver, kidney, lipids etc. and was nervous like everyone else is about kratom use and if I tolerated it okay. I have used 20 grams per day toss and wash pretty much continuously for 3 years.
All my levels were in fantastic ranges. Liver enzymes on the low-normal side, lipids all in check, blood glucose, and I even did a urinalysis for kidney function. All clear!
Cheers guys, get your bloods done :)

Traveling with Kratom - Domestic (US) and International
A question that is often posed is about traveling with kratom. In the past, there was a auto-response that fired inconsistently and that was somewhat outdated.
There is a new wiki page available at https://reddit.com/r/kratom/wiki/travel that has more current information about traveling with kratom (US-domestic or international).
The laws regarding kratom can vary from country to country, may have a degree of legal interpretation, and may not be readily available in English. Effort was made to find explicit law or prevailing wisdom about travel to international (non-US) destinations.
In some causes, the laws are different for possession and importation, such as in the United Kingdom. In some cases importation that appears for human consumption is not legal (possibly by label or existing as a capsule or tablet). In some cases the laws are overly broad or ambiguous, making it hard to know if kratom is, or is not, legal and how/if it is enforced.
The page does not address potential variances between botanical kratom and semi-synthetic derivaives such as 7-HMG. Some countries have explicitly scheduled 7-HMG, have some analogue laws, or general (vague) prohibitions about "novel psychoactive substances" or "narcotics" and might consider whether kratom or semi-synthetic derivatives fall under these classifications differently. Some say nothing about either, and they are de-facto legal.
Automations will try to suggest this wiki page, and auto-moderator may respond if it thinks this page is relevant.
If you see any errors or omissions, contact the moderators.
If you are aware of any recent changes in your country, or efforts to change the legal status of kratom in your country, consider making a new post.

is kratom actually dangerious like they day? how dangerious is it actually??
there are 44 deaths linked to kratom or something like that, how many of these are actually kratom?
im under the impression they had other drugs in there system like alcohol. how dangerious is combining alcohol with kratom, is it safe to take like 3-4.2 grams of kratom with 1-3 drinks? maybe add a little 15mg 7 oh to the mix here and there
bottom line is, what caused these deaths was it the kratom? what drugs to avoid on it and what caused these deaths
where there any deaths linked to kratom just alone and if so what caused it? thanks.
im asking because a police officer thwt pulled me over said kratoms the worst thing ever and how he had 3 friends die of cardiac arrest from it, i was thinking bullshit because i know the dea and police are very bias against it for whatever reason, why do they hate it so much when it literally saves life’s ajd is this true? can it kill your heart

Do you guys find that drinking powder makes you consume less than capsules?
I’m curious as I’ve started measuring with a food scale my Kratom doses, and I’m surprised that it’s lower than I had thought. About 2-3G per dose, usually dose 3 times per day. With capsules I feel I take much more and get less effect. Maybe it’s just in my head, or maybe measuring with a food scale is inaccurate as it’s just weight maybe I’m not accounting for something? I’m really not sure sorry. Please let me know what you guys think.
Thank you in advance

Recently took a 8 almost 9 day break
It’s easy to gradually increase your kratom usage, and in my experience, tapering off within 1-2 months is manageable. I was using 16-18 grams of kratom tea daily and discarding the leftovers after 2 washes. I added 7-OH about 9 times, and in that 19-day span, I noticed that even 9 grams of regular kratom didn’t help with withdrawals, especially at night, which we all try to avoid.
I took an 8-day cold turkey break, and surprisingly, by day 6, I started feeling better. After 9 days off, I remembered how kratom and a little 7-OH used to work well together, so I tried a mitragynine shot with around 8-10mg of 7-OH. It seemed effective at first, but after a few days, I ended up using around 20mg of 7-OH per day, with one day at 40mg.
Even after a tolerance reset, I felt it was best to stick to regular kratom. I’ve been using about 6 grams of kratom leaf daily, with a small amount of 7-OH, but I still feel a bit of depression. Today, I’m at 11 grams, which is the most I’ve done in a while. I’ve realized that staying below 8 grams of regular kratom works best for me and is easier to taper off from if needed.
From this experience, I've learned that even small amounts of 7-OH (under 30mg/day) can lead to addiction. I’ve done a few detoxes recently, and 7-OH caused some intense withdrawals. What’s strange is that after taking a 20mg tab, I didn’t feel it at all the next day. It has the addictive qualities of opiates without much of the payoff.
I wouldn't recommend using 7-OH regularly—it can easily mess with your tolerance. Regular kratom does the job, and if you struggle with moderation, it’s best to avoid 7-OH entirely. If you’re on the fence about quitting, I’ve heard regular mitragynine extract can help with tapering off.
It’s just not worth it. 7-OH can make your baseline worse, and you’ll regret ever using it. Everyone’s chemistry is different, but for me, it's not worth it.

Question for a first time user
Hey guys, as the title mentioned I haven’t tried Kratom before. I picked up some tablets (750 mg each) on my way home from work, but before I take one, I wanted to know if it is safe to mix with adderall? I have a prescription, and 9/10 weekday mornings I take 20mg. Is it safe to take a tablet tonight, or should I wait until tomorrow? I’m a 23 year old man 5’10 160 lbs if that has anything to do with it. Thanks in advance :)
