High Dose Kratom
Out of curiosity.
Why does high dose of kratom make you like brain dead? When I want to feel super chill relaxed I take 20g scoop of leaf and within 30mins I find myself staring at a blank tv and it being the most enjoyable moment of just brain dead peace

Taking Kratom without the leaf material?
Is it possible for me to extract the Kratom from the leaf while not concentrating it, and it possibly being a fast and convenient one-to-one method?

If you had surgery… how long before surgery did you stop taking it
I have a foot surgery planned for next Thur. I know they say to stop taking anything that may cause you to bleed more. But I don’t believe kratom falls under that category. So now long before should I stop. Like today ?

200mg a day safe?
I’ve read a lot on here and have been using Kratom tea once a week for about 2 years. I enjoy it when I ride my bike.
Anyway I recently been taking 200mg per day of a red powder and worried about getting addicted.
How sustainable is this? How often should I cycle it?
It seems most on here are at like 3grams or even more a day. That’s just a crazy amount to me.
Anyway thanks for any advice.

Kratom side effect
Does anyone know why Kratom makes me so itchy? Does anyone else experience intense itching on Kratom?
For some backstory I have debilitating pain and fatigue. I have been in and out of doctors for 3 years and they have been less than useless. I have never had anything prescribed to me even remotely helpful.
Kratom was like a miracle when I found it. It was the only thing that made a dent in the pain and fatigue. However, the problem is it makes me insanely itchy especially my nose and face.
Is there anything to do about the itching?!

What just happened? The Arkansas senate just "passed over" the new bill (SB534) to remove kratom as a schedule 1 narcotic.
Some of you may remember my post from the other day. Arkansas took a major step in the right direction on Tuesday by advancing "SB534" to remove kratom as a schedule 1 narcotic to the state senate.
I was overjoyed to see this but after watching today's live senate hearing for HOURS, they announced SB534 was "passed over" and promptly moved on to the next bill.
This doesn't seem to be the step in the right direction so many of us were cheering on the other day.
Maybe the AKA can chime in here, or someone with an understanding of what this means for the potential fate of this bill?

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.

What Y’all Think of my Dosing Method? (Water bottle)
My dosing goes like this;
• Fill water bottle Halfway with HOT water
• 2-3 Spoonfuls of kratom (with funnel)
• Fill up the bottle almost full (need room to shakey shakey good)
Not sure if everyone does this or Im a rookie (latter), but Ive been using for 7 years straight, every day. Its SUPER convenient for me, just sip and go. Only other method I tried was 1 scoop with my coffee, but it wasn’t convenient enough, so I figured I’d give this a try and its awesome, fast, and portable.
Only issues are;
- It does last for a while, but it starts to ferment in the bottle after roughly 4-5 days. But… after awhile you build up a routine to where you finish it before you reach that dark place
- The TASTE, Im used to it now, but I CANT say it could be ignored
I would love to hear y’all thoughts or tips on this friends! I haven’t seen this method online anywhere, maybe its the least go-to way of dosing.
Much love!

Trying to take a tolerance break, mentally having a hard time
I’ve been a regular kratom user going on about 5 years now (started about July 2020). I haven’t had really significant breaks except for a few times I had to have surgery (less than a week break both times). I took anywhere from about 15-17g per day during my heaviest use to about 8-10g per day during my lightest use (was more on the lighter end recently). But other than those two surgeries in 2021 and 2023, I use it every single day. I’ve noticed I’m not getting the mood boost the last 6 months or so so I decided to take a break and I can barely function without it. :( I’m just venting I guess.
I’m on day 3ish. I didn’t take any yesterday and the day before that I took only 3g in the morning.
I’m about to give in because I’m not getting 💩 done (unless you count having the 💩’s) and I’m miserable. 48 hours isn’t enough right?

Don’t neglect the option of using non-opioid pain meds such as NSAIDs/acetaminophen along with dose to minimize your intake.
Consider the fact that those of us who aren’t prescribed the absolute strongest pain meds are taking things that include NSAIDs/acetaminophen integrated into the pill along with the opioid. Most people just switch to a dose of kratom as an alternative to the entire prescribed pill and take more until their pain is tolerable.
This is not ideal at all if you prioritize taking the minimum effective dose. Many of these meds have a synergistic effect with opioids (aka a 1+1=3 effect in terms of pain relief)
The difference of adding such to my kratom dose was huge for me. I previously had to take 5g as my dose for intermittent severe pain. Then one day I had a rotting tooth (which is very serious shit when it comes to pain). In one of the days leading up to my appointment, I only had two one big 1g capsules, so took them with acetaminophen. The pain relief was actually better than with 5g tsp alone.
If you want this plant to stay legal, we have to minimize the amount of people having negative experiences. This means keeping doses down.

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
