Will Kratom dissolve in hot water?
Like not boiling, but just hot water? I've used cold water with the powder before and of course the texture was very unpleasant. Will it dissolve better in hot water?

Texas updates - when is the next hearing?
Does anyone know when the next hearing will be? I only learned about this recently. Such a shame. Will they vote at the next hearing?
Also, I assume this will have to be moved onto the house if it passes in the senate- similar to the situation with hemp right now? Is there a central body or source that people have been using to keep up with this situation?
Thanks

kratom and penicillin (antibiotics) ?
does anyone has experience mixing kratom and antibiotics specifically phenoxymethylpenicillin i have for pharyngitis. I use only one dose (3-4g) in the evening spaced 4 hours from antibiotics.
normally i would just quit it as i’m not a daily user anymore. but right before i got sick i used kratom for 10 days and it caused mild WD - light sleep which combined with illness symptoms i couldn’t sleep at all and anxiety as i’m stuck at home alone. so i figured i would do these 4g a day until i feel better only for about 4 days or something. so do y’all think it’s okay?

Florida Hearing Tuesday 4/1: New Kratom Restriction Law
Florida Hearing on April 1st for Proposed Onerous and Excessive kratom law “HB1489”
Any and All Florida Kratom Advocates are asked to attend Tuesday Hearing
Industries & Professional Activities Subcommittee
Location: Webster Hall (212 Knott) * 402 South Monroe Street * Tallahassee, FL 32399-1300
Next Meeting: April 01, 2025 9:00 AM
Although this bill is called a “KCPA” and has some regulation items the American Kratom Association supports, there are too many pieces that are designed to favor certain kratom manufacturers, restrict consumer choice, and set the stage for even more restrictions or prohibitions in the near future.
Please use the form at https://www.protectkratom.org/florida to let the AKA team know if you can attend the hearing.

tips for nausea?
Ive had my scale for EVER. after I took my most recent dose, I started to not feel great. My instincts told me to check my scale.
I put a nickle on it and it came up to 3 grams. Shit. I overdosed myself and feel terrible.
Is there anything I can do? or is a puke inevitabile at this point?

kratom gummies question
Hello folks, i have a question. So i received kratom gummies ( wont say brand name ) But it said that it is 35 mg of kratom leaf extract. I looked up the equivalency of plain leaf powder and what it told me is that 1 gummy is equal to 2.33 grams of plain leaf powder.
Is this true? I have been on kratom for seven years and never did a gummy. My dosage is about 5 grams, twice a day. So i planned on taking two gummies.
Is 35 mg of kratom leaf extract equal to 2.3 grams of regular powder?

Hi. I have been on dihydrocodeine 240mgs for 2.5 years
As above, I have started taking kratom this past week, it has helped me reduce my pain killer consumption. I take 3grms twice a day, once in the morning and once late afternoon, but what is this sweet spot everyone talks about?
I feel no energy, well being etc.
Would it be I may have a natural tolerance due to pain killers and should try a bit more.....any advice would be great

Why do some people have vastly different reactions to kratom?
So there are three main types of reaction i noticed when someone tried to take kratom recreationally in my friend group. A big chunk of people just hated the effect, it made them nauseous, then they never touched it again. The second, including me didn't feel anything for the first 2-3 times and then started feeling the good effects from even a smaller amount too. The third group are those who just cannot feel anything from taking kratom.
Why is there such a big difference between how people react to kratom?
We didn't really weight it, so there is a chance that we just eyeballed the amount poorly, that would explain why people had really bad reactions for it the first time, but then why do some people have no reaction, even after trying it a few times? And what's up with those who had to take it on a few occasions before feeling anything? I had roughly the same amount every time. Is there something that makes people really sensitive to kratom? And is there something that builds up from a few doses and then your body becomes sensitive to it? Or is it just a coincidence that happened to me?

Johns Hopkins University Online Research Survey About 7-hydroxymitragynine (7OH) Product Use
The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine is looking for US adults who have used kratom-derived 7-hydroxymitragynine (7OH, 7-hyroxy, 7) products to share their experiences by participating in a research study. This research study involves completing an online survey about 7OH products.
People who may be eligible are: Adults who reside in the US and who have EVER used 7hydroxymitragynine (7OH, 7-hydroxy, 7) products. Although we do not exclude based on level of experience with these products, the study will be more impactful by enrolling people who have used 7OH products more than once or who use on a regular basis.
This online study includes a screening questionnaire that will take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete. This step is necessary to try and ensure that only eligible and attentive human beings (not bots) are able to complete the survey and be compensated. Those who screen eligible will be emailed a unique survey link by the study team after screening is completed.
The survey will take approximately 30-45 minutes to complete. Completion times will vary from person to person. Participants will be compensated at the end of the survey in real-time with a $10 virtual gift card.
During the survey, you will be provided an opportunity to share your thoughts and opinions. We welcome ALL perspectives and consumer experiences about 7OH products.
Please share this opportunity widely!

Switching from hydrocodone to Kratom
Hey guys. So I want to begin with some information about me.
Male 38 5'8 170 lbs
I've been taking hydrocodone for about 6 years. My daily intake would be about 150 mg, with a starting dose for the day at about 80 mg. I've been doing this for a long time and my brain fog is terrible. I have no energy, and I just feel like I am not living life the way I should be. Basically I feel like I have a condom over my whole body and I want to get back to raw dogging life again. but on a serious note, I feel as if I am not truly living my life anymore.
I've been reading a lot about kratom and I'm wondering if it would be a good idea for me to switch. It was either this or Suboxone. And I've heard horror stories about that. I ordered 250 grams of premium red Bali from a place that seems pretty popular on this forum, but I can’t mention the name because I’m just not allowed to I guess, and it occurred to me after the fact that I probably should have reached out to a community like this beforehand. It is set to arrive tomorrow morning, and I am trying to get an idea of how to dose and what to expect.
Half of me is excited while the other half is doubting that I can even do it. I feel like tomorrow I'm gonna tell myself that I should take the hydrocodone for one more day and I can start the crate another day, that I actually have things to do tomorrow and I don't want to be hurting or feeling anxious. I just know there's a huge part of me. That's going to try to talk myself out of it tomorrow.
But please tell me what I should expect to feel like on whatever recommended dosage I should be on. If that was a good strain for me to even start with, if not, what should I order? Just some general advice guys. Thank you for listening and I look forward to having a cup of coffee later and reading your answers and doing some research. tv good night guys. Love ya !

if all kratom is pretty much the same, why does every strain feel different to me?
is it just placebo? because all white maeng da has a very distinct feeling for me that is MUCH different than the other colors.
same with green, it feels comepletly different than red or green, it doesn’t even feel like a mix of the two, it just has its own separate effects for me, than red. feels very opioidy,
so my question is, if all kratom is generally the same and strains are BS, besides each batch having different alkoloid content and potency,
why does white always feel energetic, very calm energy but hard to sleep, euphoria thats kind of hard to explain, not opioid euphoria, but also not stimulant energy and euphoria, it’s its own thing.
different white strains all have these feelings encapsulated besides some minor differences like white boreno, i get an energetic body high mostly in my legs, feels very smooth, while white maeng da, is a similar feeling but in my head and belly.
them green puts me in a good mood but doesn’t have much drug effects. just really good mood/ mroe energy but dont really much that many effects vs the other too, theu is for green maeng da, other greens feel different for me.
then red, feels just as strong as white but the euphoria instead of very smooth and weird it’s opioid euphoria, i feel extremely energetic like the other strains except i always fall asleep anyway. it’s like i feel very awake very motivated but than i randomly fall asleep for a second before waking up (yes i know it’s nodding, just explaining if)
whites give me lots of energy and motivation but i have a harder time sleeping where red, i feel very motivated but keep passing out if im laying down or in a chair
SO basically, if all kratom is the same and strains dont matter, then why the heck do i feel significant differences with all of them, enough for it nkt to be placebo

For the heaviest user how long, in general would 250 grams of kratom last them?
Reason I ask is this guy who lives near me is always hitting me up for kratom. I call him "the moocher" lol . He's a nice guy and is a handyman and has done favors for me like fixing stuff my house that I can't so I don't mind helping him out sometimes when he says he needs some. As of late he's always knocking on my door. I finally said Ben, here's 250 g of your favorite green . This was a month ago. Here's the vendor I get it from. He's "ok.ok thanks". Now, I don't know about most everyone else but 250 g of powdered would last me about 3 months. He's down a month later. " Could you help me out? I'm low and I have a lot of physical work this week. I said " Brother, it is humanly impossible to use 250 gr of kratom in a week!" I'm a regular user and after 17 or 18 some surgeries on most every joint on my body from football, some joints replaced, chronic injuries which have left me on permanent IR for many years, I can't get out of bed without pain, litteraly can't stand straight up more that 3 minutes without assistance I depend on kratom. That or it's managed by our former team doctor with tramadol and trigger shots. I really don't know the exact gpd because I take as needed. Also from two or three different vendors all in separate containers but I am relatively certain it's not 250 grams per day. So in my estimation he's yanking my chain and selling it?
Wow, after reading all these 250 grams lasting a week for all these people, I am totally dumbfounded. I drink pruin juice and everything else you all take for constipation . At 250 grams a week the auger would be in dail use and I am certain on that.

Censorship run amuck!
Just an FYI. Facebook has removed all content, on messenger, that has anything to do with kratom. I was in a large group chat called 'Just the science, ma'am' and today, every single scientific article that was shared there has been removed for going against their community standards. These articles took a lot of work to share. The person who was providing them to us also had their messenger removed. I'm so done with fakebook. This is absolutely outrageous!

Chronic pain patient here. If I take kratom will I experience a mental "high"?
Hi,
I'm in a bad state with my chronic pain.
I'm thinking about trying kratom for the first time today.
I'm hoping it'll relieve my pain. I aggravated my lumbar spine twice in the past 7 days and my base-line levels have become almost unmanageable without a heavy dose of tylenol and advil.
I wonder if I will experience any sort of mental "high" if I dose myself with kratom? To be honest, I really want to experience some sort of high because I'm quite mentally aggravated from my chronic pain. I wonder if the mental effects would be similar to a heavy dose of codeine. I need something to distract my brain. Cannabis has been ineffective these past few days.
I was looking at a shop in my city and they sell all the colors. I was going to get the red variety because I read that is the most sedating.
Thank you for reading my post.

Kratom is king!
Hola! Just wanted to share my experience. I'm 54 and I started taking Kratom about 6 months ago.
I take 1 square of chocolate 25mg mitragynine isolate with(caffeine & ginseng) and 1 gummy 30mg mitragynine isolate... I take around 9am.
Let me tell you... this has been a game changer! I have all day focus, energy and mood without the sugar crash you would get from energy drinks. It wears off around 4:30-5pm.
I'm considering taking it before working out and I'm tempted to take it before I do competitions(Hyrox). I think it might help?

CTing from 3-6gpd
Typically one dose, every morning. On very rare occasions two doses, ~10gpd but maybe once every few weeks so I disregard that. Been through CT wds before but not in awhile so looking for what to expect and perhaps any remedies. It’s worth mentioning I am on a benzo, medicinally, and anecdotally I find they help with eachothers withdrawal. Mild withdrawal, at least. No experience with CT in this area though.
Tapering not an option unfortunately. Ive maybe got a consecutive few days of a slightly lower dose under my belt at best. TIA

TN Kratom ban
So my state looks to be going after Kratom again 🤦♂️. I am born and raised here in TN. I have chronic neuropathic pain that Kratom has allowed me to live a normal life with when nothing else worked. I can raise my family, have built a thriving business for the last 7 years etc. I will crawl over broken glass to get this plant as it’s the only thing that has allowed me to live a normal life. I have ordered from a trusted local vendor for years but if this ban goes through how would I obtain Kratom? Just ship to a sistering state where it’s legal? Any other ideas? I cannot live a normal life without it so I will have to still get it one way or another. Anyone please DM me any tips or ideas on what to do or how to fight this! Thank you so much 🙏
