Title: Kartom VS Kratom Extracts
Post by: graffix on February 28, 2013, 04:38 am
Does anyone prefer one over the other?

I've seen the extracts but I"m always worried about overdosing a bit on them or if they are loaded up with all types of crap.

I found kratom to be pretty crap in general, and extracts were very inconsistent.

Really? Well I got it cheap enough, figure its worth a try just to see how it is.

I've seen so many mixed reviews it seems like its either a love or hate thing. I'm just hoping I can get a boost from it.

Well I just tried some today...5g..

I was loving it...besides dealing wth the slight headache, but I wonder if thats cause of the coffee I had earlier.. 

It definately gets a nice kick when you lay down, thats when it really hit me..very very very relaxing...

I love Kratom.  It's a great substitute for pain killers your anal doctors don't want to give you.  That said, I've had some shitty kratom, but I have a good supplier now.  My favorite is super indonesian.  I believe it is a mix of strains, not sure though.  Best part is I don't have to deal with bitcoins for it as it is legal in the US.

Yeah not dealing with bitcoins and illegal stuff is nice sometimes :)

The only thing that I'm not liking about it is the headaches.... I got 2 other strains I'm going to try to see if they are headache free..
But yeah, for a natural remedy this is way better than oxy's,percs or vicodins...

It's funny, cause my 2 friends that abuse percs looked at me like I was a drug addict for trying out a natural herb like kratom... its soo funny how these pharma companies and lawmakers make herbs look soo bad..

Yeah, since I've been taking Kratom, vicodins/percs, don't appeal to me anymore.  I don't take the extracts or ultra enhanced, I just take about a teaspoon or more give or take of the regular powder, ground from crushed leaves,  mixed with a bit of apple sauce and a fruit juice chaser cause it's tastes nasty.  I usually use orange juice as a chaser after each bite.  I've never gotten a headache from Kratom.  Are you allergic?  What amount are you taking at a time and how are you administering it?

That is odd.  Does everyone get a headache from Kratom?  :-\

Not I.  But, it could be chalked up to bad Kratom.  There is a lot of different quality stuff out there.

Actually it was due to being a bit dehydrated. When I went to go eat dinner and that water was like "wow!" I should of realized I was a bit dehydrated..later I read that Kratom can dehydrate you a bit..combine that with not eating/drinking much for the day I think thats what caused it..

I gotta say though, after falling asleep last night , that Kratom lasts a while...or it could be just becuase its the first time I've taken it. I was worried about the addiction part of it, but I can't imagine getting anything done while being on it, so its just going to be used for when its a boring day,etc..
