Kratom helps my neighbors mother who 90 years old .
Back story. My neighbor lives with her mother who is 90 years old. She slipped out of the shower and landed on her tailbone. This was last Friday
She layed on her bed and was in so much pain they didn't want to call the paramedics right away because they thought the pain would subside and it would hurt to much to move her so they planned on taking her Monday.
They are aware of what's going on with my back. Needing a major fusion next month that I'm even walking and going swimming. So her daughter wanted to know what I'm taking. Obviously never heard of it but was willing to try it. I asked if her mother is on any meds, even antihistamines. Nothing. Told her to follow the directions. 1/2 spoon brewed with some honey into tea.
That night her mother comes to my house all teary eyed calling me an angel. They we're even going to call paramedics but I convinced them to because it might be a fractured.
Turned out it wasn't but bruised very badly..
Best part is the doctor who was releasing her was going to write her a script for a strong anti-inflammatory.
Mother told him she wanted a script for Kratom. lol He said he couldn't write for stuff like that. . She said she didn't want anything then and they left.

Restless legs (not because of tolerance break)?
For context, I take about 10 GPD and have done so for about 4 years now. Mostly recreationally but also as a productivity enhancer and to help with my GAD.
From time to time, I get restless legs. Kinda hard to describe, but it is this uncomfortable sensation of tickling in my feet which also makes it difficult for me to concentrate. It isn't when I'm doing tolerance breaks or anything like that (I read that RLS is one of the common 'withdrawal' effects from kratom).
Has anyone been able to solve this? it can be between my doses. I do take magnesium citrate, l theanine and aswaganda. I also am prescribed 150mg sertraline SSRI (Zoloft equivalent). Otherwise I live healthy and work out and eat well.

My experience of quitting after 3 years daily use
To summarize, I was taking about 8-10g daily (leaf) for 3 years. 4g in the morning and 4g in the afternoon. I quit cold turkey 4 weeks ago and had 0 withdrawal symptoms or cravings whatsoever. Maybe anecdotal, but I would say if you're on a similar dose and thinking of quitting, you will have very little problems.

Utah Poison Control Center Notice: Adulterated Cat’s Claw and Kava Products
The Utah Poison Control Center has published a notice on adulterated Cat's Claw and Kava products.
[https://poisoncontrol.utah.edu/news/2026/07/adulterated-cats-claw-and-kava-products-may-cause-opioid-overdose](https://poisoncontrol.utah.edu/news/2026/07/adulterated-cats-claw-and-kava-products-may-cause-opioid-overdose)
From the article:
>The Utah Poison Control Center is alerting the public about potentially dangerous products sold in smoke shops or online that may lead to life-threatening opioid overdose, dependence, or withdrawal. The products contain blends of herbal supplements with Kava or Cat’s Claw. These include “Buzzers” and “Homiez” brand products, but others may be involved as well.
>The poison center has received multiple reports of severe overdose related to these products. We suspect these products are adulterated with synthetic derivatives of kratom such as 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH), mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, MGM-15, or MGM-16. These derivatives are illegal opioid drugs that are more potent than morphine. The product labels are misleading and do not include these drugs as ingredients. In fact, some products may claim to contain no kratom or 7-OH. Investigation and testing of the products involved is ongoing.
**Recommendations**
* Avoid using Kava or Cat's Claw products purchased at smoke shops
* If someone is not breathing or can't be woken up, call 911 and administer naloxone
* Talk to an addiction specialist for help treating dependence and withdrawl
* Report cases of health problems from using these products to the Utah Poison Control Center anytime 24/7 at 1-800-222-1222
* Consumers should report concerns about kratom-related products to the [Utah Department of Agriculture and Food](https://ag.utah.gov/specialized-products/kratom/utah-kratom-consumers/)
========
**Further Discussion**
There have been discussion of other products sold by retailers using this tactic not mentioned by name in the announcement.
**If you choose to use Cat's Claw (*****Uncaria tomentosa*****), purchase it from retailers such as health food, natural living, or general vitamin shops instead of smoke shops or online retailers selling research chemicals, 7-HMG and other semi-synthetic products, or other "legal high" products.**
Some of these sold by 7-HMG vendors, smoke shops, etc. are selling for >$20 for 3-5 tablets on a paper blister card, some with 21+ labeling, where Cat's Claw from a vitamin store costs around $10-15 for a bottle 100-250 1000mg tablets of comparable strength. Infer what you will from that.
Other products are using terms such as "Propriety Botanical Blend", "DHM" (or "Di-hydro-mitragynine", meaning MGM-15), or "MIT-A" to try to discourage inspections or seizures in illegal states.
An individual may be exposing themselves to products where they are unsure of the contents or where the legal status in their jurisdiction may now, or may shortly be illegal. It may also disrupt their transition/taper process if trying to stop using products slated for imminent scheduling.

Grey Media is behind the Amanda Goodsell story (INSANE)
I know most people here have already seen the story about the 27-year-old mother who supposedly ended up on life support after taking a “kratom gummy” for a week.
The story is already ridiculous on its face because it leaves out literally every piece of information you would need to determine whether kratom caused anything:
No product name, dose, number of gummies taken, ingredient label, toxicology results etc. Neither did they explan of whether it contained mitragynine, concentrated 7-OH, or something else entirely. Not to mention there being no confirmed medical explanation of how the product supposedly caused cardiac arrest.
They do not even establish that this was botanical kratom in any meaningful sense. According to them they bought a gummy at a gas station, which makes it overwhelmingly more likely that this was some kind of concentrated extract or 7-OH product than ordinary powdered leaf.
Despite that, the story is being presented as “woman takes kratom for one week and nearly dies.”
So I started looking into why this one barely substantiated local story was suddenly appearing on news stations all over the country. So, it turns out that it was not dozens of independent local newsrooms investigating the case and reaching the same conclusion. Almost ALL of the stations running it are owned by the same company Gray Media.
Gray Media is a massive local television conglomerate. According to Gray itself, it operates in 117 television markets and reaches around 37% of American television households.
The original report came from Arizona’s Family, which is owned by Gray. It was then turned into a “Gray News” story and pushed through Gray’s shared content system.
I found essentially the exact same article on over 100 Gray-owned station websites with the same EXACT headline, article text, Images, same “Mickaela Castillo and Gray News staff” byline. Fucking everything.
One corporate newsroom took one story and photocopied it across the country under more than 100 different local news logos.
Now today, (the reason I looked into this whole thing) Google News displays all of these copies next to each other, which creates the appearance that the story has been independently corroborated by news organizations nationwide.
This is like cartoonish bad. It is one media singular media conglomerate wearing 100 different fake mustaches.
They pushed it across almost their entire national station network during an active regulatory fight over 7-OH and kratom.
I cannot prove that Gray was paid to run this coverage. I cannot prove that a regulator or lobbying group directly ordered it. Nobody outside Gray can honestly claim that without internal emails, financial records or a whistleblower.
But the coordinated distribution itself is not a conspiracy theory. It is directly observable. Somebody at Gray made the centralized editorial decision to convert this into a national Gray News package and send it across the network.
At best, Gray took a family’s understandable belief about a terrifying medical emergency and promoted it as a nationwide consumer-warning story without gathering the basic evidence needed to support the conclusion.
At worst, this was deliberately useful propaganda designed to make ordinary Americans associate all kratom with mystery gas-station gummies and sudden cardiac arrest.
Regular kratom users should take this seriously because this is exactly how blanket bans happen. Most viewers are not going to investigate mitragynine concentrations, 7-OH conversion, product adulteration or toxicology. They are going to see what appears to be 100 local news stations saying:
\>“A mother took kratom for one week and ended up on life support.”
They will have no idea that those 100 stations are all repeating the exact same unverified corporate story.
EDIT: All the Gray Media stations that ran this story-
WALB. KALB. KFDA. KTUU. WANF. WPCH. WRDW. WAGT. WABI. WAFB. WLOX. WBNG. WBRC. KFYR. WVVA. WBKO. WDTV. KBTX. WCAX. KFVS.

I can't pee!
Has anyone experienced not being able to pee or peeing very little while using Kratom?
I started using powder 2 months ago and in the beginning I had no issues. Now it seems that I really have to "concentrate" on even getting a little bit out.
Some feedback would be much appreciated.

Lowering your dose
After 4-5 years of taking kratom daily my dose was up to 45 pills (000 size) I weighed them and they were 800mg each so like 36 grams. One dose per day.
I couldn’t keep going like this. I remember when I started Kratom. 1 pill is all I needed. Then. 5, 10,20 etc
I was able to get my dose controlled a little bit from 45 down to about 32 but still it’s too much. I take it for chronic pain and I was very worried if I took less I would get less pain relief
I went down to 25 capsules on Monday and I didn’t notice any difference vs 32
Today I went down to 20 and the same thing. Really no difference.
I’m going to keep going down as long as my pain relief is there and see how low I can go
So it’s just a PSA. If your dose is getting out of control don’t be scared like I was. Just force yourself lower. It will save you money and it really was not fun swallowing 45 pills . Or 32. 20 still isn’t fun I’m going to try to go lower. People always said less is more but I never believed them. I always thought more is more!

Is white kratom supposed to taste much better than green ones?
I hadn't tried a white properly before and have never taken red kratom either, but this one that I am trying now is absolutely tasty with water having a little bit of honey 🍯 and extremely tolerable without honey too.
To be honest I'd drink it as a tea, had it not its nice kratom effects anyways.
I first tried kratom two months ago, so I am quite a beginner.
I have not tried many different kinds yet, but this one is definitely way tastier than the green one which is what I have been taking daily.
The green is way bitter and has a much stronger flavour. I am taking the same dose (2g) on the same amount of water so it can't be related to that.

Who left kansas because of ban
I asked the kansas sub, but the ignorance is insane. Anyone leave kansas so they dont go to prison? I was reading, and it is a felony 4 for ANY amount. So that means if you have 1 gram, you can have to go to prison. If you have more than 100 grams that is intent to sell. That is 46 plus months in prison. You have to say a kilo, that's what 10 years? That is fucking insane and someone suffering chronic pain every single minute and everyday of there lives what do they do? I would either leave the country forever, or I would not be around permanently anymore if I were to get arrested for it. But, you can stand in every single state around it and be fine. I am talking about kratom, not that 7OH which ruined it for kratom users in kansas. Fucking insane. If I had known the governor was gonna lie, I would never have moved to kansas.

My local shop owner told me starting in August 1st kratom botanical extract would be banned entirely in the US
I went in to buy my capsules as I do every now and then... He told me that starting August 1st the ban in the US would take effect and they would not be able to sell them anymore. Not going to lie I panicked a bit.. I've heard of some states but I live just south of Chicago IL. I've been googling it trying to get an answer online but all I've seen is the 7 states which I'm not in one of them. Can someone please tell me it's not actually being banned and he's been misinformed? I take this stuff daily for my back because pain killers almost ruined my life.

Powder
Any tips on drinking the powder? It’s been harder to get it down and I’ve actually vomited before just from drinking it. Sometimes I’m fine but the powder doesn’t mix well. I use a frother on low just to try and mix it together a bit but it’s just drinking sludge or foam.
Because it tastes bad I’m not really interested in taking the time to make teas. I felt like the capsules were not a good price for what you get. Any advice? 🤷♀️

Kratom Speicheltest nach 7 Tagen Abstinenz immer noch positiv
Ich hatte beim letzten Test bereits 7 Tage kein Kratom mehr genommen. Beim Speicheltest aus dem Labor war der test trotzdem positiv auf Mitragynin bei einem Cut-off Wert von 5 ng pro ml.
Das Labor sagte das ist ungewöhnlich aber kann vorkommen. Heute, 21 Tage nach dem letzten Konsum habe ich einen weiteren Test gemacht auf Anordnung. Ich hoffe es ist jetzt endlich alles negativ.

Kratom when getting wisdom teeth pulled?
I have limited experience with Kratom. I went through a decent sized bag of the leafy stuff last year and it was always pleasant enough. I forget the dosage, but it wasn't high and I enjoyed it a few nights a week until it was gone.
Then a month ago I tried a Kratom shot from the gas station and the effects were mild and seemed fleeting but were overall good. I was thinking of taking another one of those shots about an hour before I get my wisdom teeth pulled with local anesthetic.
Does that seem like a reasonable thing to do? The numbing stuff they use at the dentist never seems to fully get rid of the pain for me at the dentist and when I tell them that, they jab extra into me and it doesn't seem to make a difference; it just leaves me extra sore later in the day.
I know sedation is an option but my insurance doesn't cover that and I'm not willing to put it on my credit card.

Kratom interactions with Halcion
Long story short, I need some advice. I have severe dental anxiety, I'm having a full mouth extraction on Tuesday and I'm worried about potential drug interactions. I take about 20-30 gpd of kratom. Today I'm gonna take half of that and tomorrow try to take less of what I take today. Long story short should I skip my dose completely tomorrow and just suck up the WDs? Or just not dose at all on day of Thursday to avoid interactions? Has anyone ever had experience with these two at all? Need my mind at ease.

Post surgery prescription meds
I thgouht after doing some research that I could decrease my 10 mg Percocet after surgery by doing my kratom at night instead. Last night at 7 I took my kratom. Felt pretty good and energetic. I took another dose at 4 am. Felt sweaty and chills like withdrawal starting at 7. I got up and had some loose bms. I took my my 7 am dose of Percocet and I felt a tiny bit better but not much. Then I took my 11 am dose and still felt pretty much nothing. I guess I answered my own questions about kratom taking up all the mu receptors so pain meds don't work as well. My question is what time today should I try to take my Percocet again? I'll suffer through the day as long as I can but I'm in pain and being thrown into withdrawals. When I had surgery I discontinued my kratom at 12 pm the night before and I felt the pain meds they gave me after surgery well enough. Would 4 pm be enough of a separation from the kratom to try again?
