When I lived in VA I had Rifat clones.
Killed them one winter, Kratom really hates the cold.
They were like 3 foot tall bushes when they died.
Part of why I moved from VA, the climate sucks (amongst many other things)...
I'm taking a tolerance break from kratom. Even on a small dose, its doing the opposite or what it should be and making me extremely tired. Someone said this can happen after long term use (6 months) when the alkaloids build up in your system. Has anyone else experienced this?
It is about a year and a half. One thing I learned is everyone's idea of a 'small dose' matches no one else's idea of a small dose.
I take .7 grams at a time. The first few months varied, a couple times a whole tablespoon (10 grams) was used but that usually meant nap time. A quarter teaspoon is my normal dose, up to three times a day for a couple days at a time. I replaced a coffee habit with Kratom so my motivation may not be the norm. Reaching 7 cups of coffee per day was affecting my heart, Kratom causes less rapid heart rate increase and stresses it less.
I hear of doses in the tree and four tablespoon range and wonder if my reaction is outside of normal or is it these larger dosages that have more to the story?

Cool to see some IC Mag people chatting up kratom. It is truly an amazing plant. I have eaten pounds of it over the years and grown several outdoor trees of it here in Michigan. Bali is my favorite, or was my favorite. Personally, I choose not to use it any longer. Not trying to speak negatively of those that do, however, as a recovering alcoholic, I found my desire to take more and more of it very similar to the desires when I drank. I also suffer from pain, sometime severe, so I found myself using it "for just till the pain is gone", but it would always be a week or more of constant use, sometimes a month, after the pain was gone. It is very euphoric, I liken it to MDMA in some respects. I always found myself chatting it up with folks in a line, or in the market, etc. it made me just want to connect with another human, which is great! It has great attributes, unfortunately for me, its negatives slightly outweighed the beneficial qualities. I was getting up to over an ounce total a day in dosages (3x daily). Be careful out the folks. It can be very habit forming, but it is not addictive. Cold turkey quitting would have no negative side effects for me. Personally, I just didn't like to be under the spell of something so strongly.
PS Try taking it with a Magnesium supplement, such as CALM brand soluble Mag, you will be shocked at the potentiating quality of Mag on Kratom, I was.
Bless you all on your paths.

P.S. Hey, guys. I want to share you with my experience. Frankly speaking, I have tried many kratom products but the product of ********** surprised me. The kratom products from them are of high quality with great effects. I find this kratom far better than the other suppliers. I like the thing, that they give the best quality kratom from people who really care for your health and quality of life. I wouldn't order anywhere else !
