Kratom Powder

What is Kratom Powder

Kratom Powder (Mitragyna speciose) is a plant that grows in Southeast Asia and parts of Africa. For centuries, farmers chewed the leaves of the plant to get an extra boost of energy while working in the fields.

Despite the bans, the known effects of kratom, such as increased energy and alertness eventually made its way to Western countries. Today, kratom use is continuing to grow in popularity and it is often smuggled from jungles in Thailand for sale in countries like the U.S.

People use kratom for withdrawal from heroin, morphine, and other opioid drugs, as well as cough, depression, anxiety, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.

Using kratom can also be unsafe. Kratom use has been linked to serious side effects including hallucinations, seizures, liver damage, withdrawal, and death. Due to these and other serious safety concerns, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) continues to warn people to avoid using products containing kratom or its ingredients.

Kratom powder is ingested rather than smoke. Here are some popular methods for consuming it: Again, this is the simplest, quickest way to get Kratom in your system and the method typically use. The amount needed is poured into a glass, gently tip the powder into my mouth, swill it around then swallow. Some people use a teaspoon to scoop it into their mouth and you can split it into as many mouthfuls as you prefer.

How To Take Kratom Powder

Boil up the powder with water for 30 minutes and let it sit, then strain off the liquid. Most people feel this results in better and more consistent effects but it’s obviously more time consuming to produce. The taste isn’t too bad and you can drink it hot or cold. It’s quite nice chilled actually. Another option that I haven’t actually tried personally but some people recommend is to add the powder to some yogurt. Use a fruit-flavored one as the goal is to mask the taste of the powder (it’s not particularly nice)! The reason I don’t do this is that it’s actually better to take Kratom on an empty stomach (see below) and this would be negating that fact. It is similar to DMT cause of its trippy effects.

Kratom Dosage

Further complicating things is that measurements are not consistent across all kinds of kratom or its vendors. You should buy a high-quality and precision digital scale for measuring your doses since portions of kratom of equal physical size might have very different weights. This is especially true of extracts. The following information doesn’t always yield as accurate but can serve as a general guideline for your dosing needs.
