Organic Kratom (red vein) is a great alternative to opiates. My mother had a total knee replacement. She used opiates for the first few postop days, then switched to the kratom with excellent results.

just 2 capsules make his pain tolerable---but after 6-8 hours the effect wears out--could I just repeat it? Because of $$$ and stupidity there is a lot of fearmongering and very little reliable information about kratom but it is a wonderful plant!

i bought it online--and I really like that place--money back guarantee and third party testing. Also they have their own farms in Asia. it comes on Wed.--i can't wait. I never tried it before- and neither did my husband who also wants to try it. I got capsules, red and white veins. Skipped on green veins now.
can I give name? KRATOM SPOT The reason I think it is important is that kratom is often sold by dishonest vendors..

I have read that kratom is very addictive and HARD to ween off. Do you really want to put yourself through this?

MY HUSBAND stays with 1-2 capsules/a day and he definitely is more clear-headed.
but sometimes his joints still hurt.... Because of many fearmongers - and maybe even something evil--there is very little info about that wonderful plant. I just learned about it--and I wish it was few years ago. There is good website www.kratom.org that lists trusted vendors like KRATOM SPOT. Don't buy it in vape/smoke shops. They are often "fortified " with extracts. I almost got kratom drink with sucralose and sodium benzoate....Buy pure leaf powder-i like capsules. then there is WHITE, GREEN, RED. I started with white vein because they say it is most uplifting and red is relaxing--BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT YET. And depending on where the tree grows it is also a difference-but so far I only know Thailand.if you have any experience with kratom--NOT that you read somewhere--please share!

i have just read a horror story about 22year old who got addicted to kratom but 1.he was taking extracts 2. he wanted to feel euphoria and took it often and a lot
I'm taking 1 capsule=0.7 g, but like 2-3 times a week---nothing though....
my husband takes 1-2 capsules - but none yesterday-with no problems. After 1 pill of dr prescribed TRAMADOL for pain he was begging for more. his appetite is better, more motivated. Still feels pain but it is more tolerable.
I'm sick of fearmongers....

so far I like what I see--he didn't take it yesterday with no problems and the pain was still tolerable! Still they say that higher doses act better for pain. I tried RED strain and for me WHITE is better-but here everyone may differ. PLEASE RESEARCH KRATOM!

Sorry for the repeating last post-it seems though that I'm the only one here excited about kratom. So we decided to stay with microdoses now= 1-2 caps. To make sure we do not get addicted we usually take it 5-6 times a week with 1 week /a month w/o kratom. We have not taken it for the last week with no problems--what's more its effect on dulling pain STAYED. So it may be taken only AS NEEDED

Hey Aleksandra, there are those of us out here that have been using kratom for many years. I personally use Kats Botanicals, powder form, they have huge bags, all tested, tons of choices, strains from different countries and a free points program where you get discounts/free bags. I have empty capsules and a cheap capsule filling machine so that makes it more economical if I want to go that route. But I usually just take the long route and make it as a tea, "my gross dirt water" as the fam calls it. I'll put fresh honey, add some black pepper, cayenne, the other golden tea ingredients if I want an extra boost.
I don't stick to any standard dosing, thats not how I use plant products, sometimes I use 1/2 tspn sometimes I use 1 tbspn, somedays I drink 3 cups some days none, some months a lot, some months none. I've never once had a craving for it, maybe because it tastes like dirt water lol. I have multiple bags sitting in my pantry and haven't had a cup since last winter, not on purpose, just happened to be. I have not known a single person who's tried it or uses it who has gotten addicted nor do I believe the random stats from the dea to be true.
Also, I think blends are where it's at. A good red blend is great for relaxing and sleeping and the right white/green or white/red can give some great pain relief with some mind clearing energy benefits. Also I feel 0% euphoria from kratom so that could be another thing thats just a me thing but yeah. Hope any of this helps or resonates. If it's working well for ya'll and you don't see any red flags thats a good sign. Take care!

thank you Cryt FOR BEING HERE. I started to feel like a junkie- everyone is talking about vitamins.... in kratom.org site I am reading about all these strains and for my husband PAIN-ENERGY-MOOD one of the best is RED MAENGO DA-which he takes now, amd it is really good! He felt great. And the one that he wants to add-as we also believe that you need at least 2 strains-is GREEN MALAY. Capsules, as they are easiest.
i am taking WHITE MAENGO DA because I like it better than his red strain.
BTW YOU ARE BRAVE--i read that it tastes really bad!

it is red MAENG DA and my husband loves it! I like white better but I have no issues at this moment--but I feel great! we both do not care about EUPHORIA and I think people are not addicted to kratom but to feeling euphoria. it is wonderful plant!

what I really like about kratom is that even when you stop taking it for few days you still hold that wonderful, focused calm--or your pain is still very dulled, like for my husband. We take 1-2 capsules/a day, which is 0.7-1.4 gram. He doesn't feel the need to increase dose. Kratom really helps him.

i don't think it is true for leaf powder-only for extracts maybe. So it came on Mon- I took one capsule for 2 days-- felt great but not a significant difference as I have no issues at this moment. My husband still feels pain--would need more probably or not just WHITE. Kratom saves lives too! We just need to be responsible!
