I'm going to post this and then edit it to justify these ridiculously high marks afterwards (don't worry, I'm doing it immediately, everyone, so nobody cry shill just yet). Its just hard to read the sections in this tiny text box. Expect justification in like ten minutes after the post. If they aren't there in ten minutes, just wait longer.

Edit 1: Alright, now for the explaining.

Customer service: /u/BlackHand25 (His Reddit account) was a real saint with this. I had zero deals on Nucleus as I stricly used Agora before I made the switch to Nucleus after the shutdown. I must have messaged him asking about his product, different ways to use it and what to use it for (this is in reference to the Kratom) at least ten times and he responded within hours, usually. I think the longest I probably waited on a response was 24 hours tops over 3 or 4 days. TheBlackHand was polite every single time, informative, even joked with me a bit, which I liked. I had never tried Kratom before and both myself and my wife were wanting to experiment it for different reasons. I suffer from chronic pain and she has some anxiety issues that can be fairly serious at times. He ended up recommending the red vein for me and the green for her because one is more geared toward pain management, while the other is more geared toward a calming effect. This was before he even knew I wanted four ounces of his product as well, which would have cheapened it for me a bit, knowing that I wanted multiple items. Like a car dealer knowing to be extra knice because you've been eyeballing the most expensive car on the lot instead of one from the USED section. This was not the case. After I told him that I wanted two ounces of each type of Kratom, he agreed to put one ounce of each into gel caps of .5 grams per cap so that we could imbibe them more easily. He also left an ounce of each uncapped so we could try making tea with it. I thought that was a pretty useful option to be able to utulize and was very pleased that he offered the service. We agreed on a price that I found quite fair; $80.00 including the capping service and shipping. He told me he would have my package on its way the following day as it was Thursday and he ships Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I ended up messaging him a few hours later after noticing he also had some golden teachers listed on his profile for $40.00 and I asked him if I could send him my last $31.(and some change) and have him toss 3 grams in there because I was a little short on the whole 3.5G listing. He said it would be no problem as the package had not been shipped yet and he would be glad to. I sent the coins to the same address as before and that was that. He said he would send me the tracking number in a few days. Oh, and this is probably my favorite part about his customer service, he actually used MY private key to PGP with me the entire time. All of our communications on BOTH ends were encrypted. I haven't had another vendor do that for me yet. Usually vendors just encrypt the pertinent bits, is they have any at all, but not this guy. So that really helped in my 5/5 mark here. We also had a secondary formof communication set up with sigaint emails, but ended up only using it once to verify that we had the correct addresses.

Product Quality: This was another five because the Kratom came just like we had discussed and worked very well for what it is; One ounce of each in 500mg gel caps and an ounce of each powdered and it worked wonders. I take opiate painkillers every single day, and usually a lot of them. I took six grams total in the gel caps and an hour in I actually skipped my next dose of percocet. I had other painkillers in me at the time, but if nothing else this stuff did exactly what I wanted it to do; potentiate what I was already using and make me able to replace some of the massive amounts of chemicals I consume to be able to play with my son with something a little less toxic. My wife also used six grams worth of gel caps at the same time as I did, and she noticed a positive difference with her anxiety as well as having a boost in general happiness. This was a godsend for me as well, because if any of you out there are married to a hispanic woman with anxiety problems, you know what I deal with on a regular basis. She will have a near endless supply of this as long as it works for her, hahaha. We have yet to try it as a tea, but will be tomorrow morning. My only concern is what it will taste like, as I have no idea and can't imagine it will be very good. Milk and honey will be on hand. We have not tried the golden teachers yet either, but they are cracker dry and are whole mushrooms. A cap on every stem, and they actually weighed a little heavy to boot. I really don't know what else to ask for with mushrooms aside from a pleasant trip, but that is really more on me than on the mushrooms.

Processing Speed: Another 5/5 here, since after I made up my mind that I wanted to try this product out and actually told him how I wanted it he had it locked cocked and ready to rock; out the door and on its way the very next day and even managed to get my last minute mushroom request in there. I didn't check the tracking, but it was the Friday before labor day weekend that he said he shipped it, and I got it the Tuesday after Labor day, so no BS there. This is also the day he messaged me and told me it shipped and said he'd send me the tracking information ina few days.

Price Value: He sold me these four ounces cheaper than I could get them on the clearnet; And I could have went that route as Kratom is not illegal in my state, but I like to support my local DNM vendors. The good ones do us a real service here. The clearnet ones also did not have the option of being in pill form, which he did for me for basically nothing. I think he normally charges $5.00 for that per ounce. Another point for the 5/5 rating here is that I essentially messaged him AFTER I paid for the first order asking if I could buy what is surely a more popular item (the golden teachers) with my leftover change from the Kratom purchase, which he agreed to straight away at just under $10.00 less than what he normally charges for that amount.

Stealth and OpSec: He hit every single mark here. Not only were there multiple layers of sealing and misguiding going on in this low profile little package, but I honestly could have dumped the contents onto the ground in front of my local town cop and had him pick it up for me and he would have never questioned it. He probably would have laughed and made fun of me for ordering something like what it appeared to be and given it back. I probably could have had him actually see the drugs looking into the container, and as long as he didn't look too hard at them, the pills and other little baggies would have looked like they were a part of the actual decoy; like they belonged to and were a part of this totally innocuous item. It was that clever. I really really wish I could tell you about this stealth, because not only did it have me laughing my ass off and telling my wife that there is no way she's going to believe what he hid the payload in, it was the most ingenious thing a person could probably think of to conceal a forbidden secret such as these. I was extremely impressed with this. The only other vendor I've come across with this level of stealth was DownTheRabbitHole. This might have even been more impressive than that solely because DTRH had to hid a 250mg bag, and not that he didnt do it very very well, TheBlackHand hid four ounces of plant matter and 3.5g of dried whole mushrooms. The volume difference is an entirely different ball game. All in all, I would never worry about ordering any amount of anything from this vendor. The only danger you will be in will be a cramp from laughing too hard (in a good way).

All in all, you did a stellar fucking job /u/BlackHand25 and you will be hearing from me again. Thank you for doing a direct deal with someone with not a single bit of feedback, no prior deals or communications between us, FE, and you came through with flying colors when you could have easily fucked me.

I know this is the wrong place but i would love to know more about detoxing from opiates using kratom. One of my favorite forums recently went dowm and that was my main spot for advice regarding opiates.

I have no idea why Reddit didn't notify me of this given that you tagged my username in it. Very weird.

I greatly appreciate the wonderful review. I try to keep my Kratom priced competitively with clearnet sources because I know many people are wary to try it regardless. It's a plant that I've seen help many people, it's good to keep it readily available to buyers who may need it.
