I’m supposed to start taking a mini pill called Errin as a form of BC. Any women here use it and also a daily kratom consumer? Please share any experience with taking both daily. Thx!

Motion activated
Someone mentioned in a thread how kratom is motion activated and yah.. I can confirm. I’ve noticed on super active days especially when I’m sweating a ton doses go straight through me. I don’t think you can literally sweat it out, but was working outside for 12 straight hours today and if I wasn’t careful could’ve easily doubled my usual gpd. Similar experience?

9g kratom leaf ~18 hours before surgery
Have a microdiscectomy tomorrow morning. Took 9g today. My average gpd is 12.
Procedure is about 1-1.5 hours.
All good?

Kratom Will Be Banned In Kansas and Tennessee Starting July 1
https://www.kratomscience.com/2026/06/29/kratom-will-be-banned-in-kansas-and-tennessee-starting-july-1/ Starting July 1, kratom consumers in Kansas and Tennessee will become criminalized as the laws classifying kratom as a Schedule I controlled substance go into effect. News media typically interviews police and rehab industry reps, rather than kratom consumers. If you're a kratom consumers in those states, how are you dealing with it?

It really works!
So I've been taking this for a while for degenerative disc disease and wasn't really sure if it did anything.
Well now I've broken 3 ribs.... and doctor's treatment plan is Tylenol.... do you have any idea how much a sneeze hurts!
So I've upped my dose of kratom. And at about 12 grams, it doesn't hurt anymore.
I don't get a buzz from it anymore so that's good, but i can be comfortable and not wincing with every movement

Mixing Strains?
Has anyone ever mixed strains? I have green Borneo and Green Bali? The alkaloid profiles are different so I’m wondering what the effects would be ( if any at all) I have just enough of each to bring me to my daily dose while waiting for my next shipment.

Does anyone else struggle to get that feeling kratom gives you unless taken a certain way?
I have to take up to 20 capsules (green mitragynine speciosa) with a LOT of water, wait about an hour then eat something.. I've noticed if it's something greasy, the feeling with hit me harder. But if I don't eat at all..I get nothing from it

Anyone else feel really nostalgic on kratom?
Ive bought kratom around 4 times now and ive never had this kind of nostalgic euphoria that i get with this batch.. it is supposedly higher qualiity so im assuming i was just using shitty weak kratom before but i was wondering if this is a universal experience or am i just a tweaker. Its the normal leaf btw no extract or 7.

Normal kratom extract advice
I am getting a colonoscopy on Tuesday and while I think I’ll be ok having to go 24 hours without kratom, I grabbed some extract just in case. I have been using plain leaf well over 10 years and have never once tried extract. It’s 100mg, and I usually take like 20-25 gpd of leaf. I don’t want to blow my tolerance out of the water so I’m curious how much I should take? I really don’t want l have to use it, and I’ll try not to. But just wanted some advice. Thanks

Does Utah allow kratom sales or not?
Literally wtf is going on in the kratom world?? Im just now learning about California and now I'm hearing that kratom is technically banned it Utah also? It can't be purchased online and even though plain leaf kratom is still legal, all stores have pulled it from their shelves? This is nuts. What's the real story here and why is nobody outraged or protesting? I am so beyond irritated by this.

Daddy Dean is lying
Dean Francis has built a national campaign around his son Cameron’s story. Through End Kratom Addiction, he tells lawmakers and the public that Cameron, a former college athlete, had his life destroyed by natural kratom leaf. Francis has publicly claimed Cameron’s addiction was “strictly” kratom leaf powder.
But the available public record tells a different story: alcohol appears again and again, alongside treatment history, bottled concentrates, and synthetic 7-OH.
What the Record Shows: A Timeline
Pre-2017: Alcohol already a part of the story — Cameron reportedly decided to use kratom as a social alternative to drinking at parties. However, his athletic performance decline begins in 2016.
2019: Car crash leads to Alcoholics Anonymous (per family’s own account).
July 2020: Arrested for stealing beer at Sheetz; admits “desperate measures to satisfy the alcoholism.”
March 2021: DWI conviction with .139 BAC and open-container charge.
2021: Detox with Naltrexone (alcohol dependence medication) prescribed.
2024–2026: Multiple residential treatment programs, including ibogaine in Mexico; court-ordered ongoing treatment.
April 2026: 911 call describes whiskey and alcohol on Cameron while Dean attributes the crisis to 7-OH.
The Timeline Begins Before ‘Kratom’

Recommendations?
As my fellow Kansans are aware, they’ve decided to ban Kratom and 7OH starting July 1st, labeling it as a schedule I controlled substance. So I have been looking into Mitragyna hirsuta. Is It worth a shot? Any other kratom alternatives y’all would recommend?

Just read the new NC ban bill…
It seems as though yes kratom will be scheduled but unless I’m misunderstanding it, it’s just going to be regulated like alcohol and stores will have to get their ALE license in order to sell it which they’ve been talking about for a little while now. I’m bad at understanding legal talk though so please correct me if I’m wrong

Why do companies not test for pesticides?
I've been taking kratom daily for 4ish years now. All from a reputable source and by far the most transparent company I've ever seen which is why I've stayed with them this entire time.
That being said, recently I've realized they don't actually test for pesticides in their COA reports nor does any other reputable company I've looked at. All test for alkaloids, purity, heavy metals, and fungus or bacteria. Not pesticides.
Does someone know why this is? 3rd world countries aren't known for being super great about using this stuff and many of us take this daily which would put us at risk if there was even residual levels of cancer causing pesticides.
Do farmers and plantations not normally use pesticides for kratom? I've seen mixed reports that say kratom is a natural pesticide itself and bugs aren't attracted to it, or that pesticides aren't required due to it being a tree.
Idk, anyone got any more insight on this?

Is it ok to take more?
I took 1.2g of mitragyna speciosa the other day. That was my first experience with kratom and it was pretty nice. Each capsule is 600mg so I’m just wondering if it’s ok to take another.

North Carolina Ban Bill
Dear Amazing Advocates,
North Carolina lawmakers are moving quickly, and we need your help today.
The House and Senate Joint Committee will be debating House Bill 328, and the new Senate version now includes language that would ban kratom by scheduling it.
Please contact the North Carolina Committee now and tell them: Support the House version of consumer protections — not prohibition.
North Carolina should protect consumers through reasonable regulation, including age restrictions, testing, labeling, and product safety standards.
Your personal story matters. Lawmakers need to hear directly from kratom consumers about how kratom has helped you, why access matters, and why consumer protection is the right path forward.
👉 Add your story and contact committee members here: https://www.protectkratom.org/northcarolina
Please take action now and share this alert with other North Carolina kratom supporters.
Together, we can stop kratom scheduling in HB 328 and urge lawmakers to choose consumer protection over prohibition.

Has anybody ever had how they respond to Kratom change?
I, like most people, typically get the best impact from Kratom on the first dose of the day. Sometimes I’ll take it a second time, but it doesn’t do nearly as much as the first.
However, I recently quit for six months, then returned to it after an injury. Since taking it again, my first dose of the day barely does anything other than relieve pain. My second dose, usually 8-12 hours later is now fantastic. Anxiety relief, sociability, and pain relief.
So what the hell is going on. What changed? Has anybody experienced something similar?

This article should end the nonprofit End Kratom Addiction. Dean/Cameron Francis WTH?
This article forced me to come here and rant. https://floridianpress.com/2026/06/alcohol-not-natural-kratom-the-cameron-francis-story/
When I first saw Dean Francis' smug attitude.... it was on Linkedin\-here. This guy was a NOT as genuine as he claims to be. Look at his eyes in that video as he MOCKS the AKA. It seems like he is in some sort of personal vendetta against the AKA. Isn't this about your kid?
But that answer isn't so easy for me to swallow. When I looked into his story... I found him and Cameron FIRST retelling the story to the Epoch Times - During that story Dean held up 7OH tablets when describing his son's addiction in this article \- AND after that article Cameron completed treatment AGAIN....Then DEAN went on some random podcast telling the host that his son was tricked into buying 7OH and relapsed AGAIN - WHAT?!?! How does that make sense? Isn't Dean telling everyone it was just kratom powder!?! Look- Support 7OH or not, the fact is Dean held up 7OH products for the Epoch times reporter when explaining Cameron's addiction - then his son relapsed on 7OH - and BEFORE all of this he was stealing beers to stay drunk 24/7 - Nobody that has taken a natural kratom powder would ever believe this - do you?? Do you believe this guy saying its just natural kratom? He says dumb things like "the kratom industry “hates” his son’s story because it “has nothing to do with extracts or liquid shots” and was “strictly the ‘kratom leaf’ in powder form.”
This is so very strange. I'm just so upset that these people are doing this. Argggg!
Why did his story change so much? Does anyone have any ideas? I want to know!!!!

Michigan ban bill
The in the
Global Kratom Coalition is alerting Michigan residents to an urgent and evolving situation state legislature.
There is new pressure within the state House of Representatives to advance its blanket kratom ban bill (HB 5537), approved by the chamber in March, within the next week.
To help guide Michigan toward regulations over broad-based prohibition, we need advocates to contact their state senator and urge them to reject a blanket ban.
Advocates should convey that commonsense regulation is the better path forward tor Michigan.
You can identity your senator and find their contact intormation here-
If you need additional help taking action, use the Kratom Consumer Advisory Council's Advocacy Buddy tool for this time-sensitive request.
Please make your voice heard in the push for smart, science-led policy in Michigan

My 7 year Kratom-versary
7 years ago today, I walked into a smoke shop and bought natural Kratom.
The picture on the left (posted on X) was me in April 2019 during active addiction, the same month I got fired from my pain management doctor. I didn’t show up for a per contract pill count.
From April to June, I went to the streets and started doing cocaine. I was rationalizing with myself thinking “snorting caine was better than shooting herion.” I still bought pills from my drug dealer’s but cocaine absolutely took over my life. I was 🤏🏼 close to doing herion.
Fast forward to today, I haven’t been back to pain management, I haven’t bought any drugs, I haven’t even flirted with the idea of relapsing. I am a brand new version of the old me.
I give all my thanks to the documentary A Leaf of Faith…
https://youtu.be/tpDM2yUnnJ0?is=7JL6FXd5MgJ4zv8h
Video on the right (posted on X) is when I got to meet the producer and funder of that same documentary, Kelly Dunn, at the Las Vegas CHAMPS Show in May 2026. Talk about a full circle moment.
A Leaf of Faith lead me to A Leap of Faith…into that smoke shop.
If you would’ve asked me 7 years ago, before I found Kratom, how I could imagine what my future holds, I would‘ve said…
“You high AF. What future? Also, give me some of what you got. I’ll pay you next week.”
Natural Kratom Saved My Life!

First Time taking Keaton
Today I bought a bag of Kratom Capsules (0.5g) each. I took 4 of them and about 2 hours later, took another 2.
I still don’t really feel much at all. I’m also not sure if I’m supposed to really feel anything, so maybe my expectations are wrong. I had a slight boost of energy and now I’m a bit relaxed, but that’s it.
I usually unwind in the evenings with either ketamine or an opioid pill, and I’m looking for an alternative. Ketamine is simply too costly as a daily habit, and obviously I don’t want to become hooked on any opioids.
I did some research and was hoping Kratom could be my new evening substance, but I honestly don’t really feel much.
Did I not take enough? Or am I just expecting something that Kratom isn’t?
