kratom poem

Argh! Kratom tea is vile! Just mix it in with some yoghurt, eat it as quickly as possible, and have a glass of squash handy! I like it, but boy is it rough to get down!
Also maybe eating some ginger root before / after ingestion might help with nausea, although for me it's negligible.

I don't have any issue gulping down 3 teaspoons in one sitting... well, maybe more like 2! I don't even bother with tea, it's roughly half as potent as the leaf toss n washed... but, meh, I am habituated utterly!

Capsule fillers! Making capsules takes like 2 minutes and is by far the easiest way to get 5 grams of kratom down your throat. I tried yogurt, applesauce, teas, toss and wash (almost choked to death when I couldn't swallow a big pile of powder stuck in my mouth). None of it covered up the taste and no matter what I did to those leaves, I could not get a cup of tea that was as strong as the same dose of powder.
I got a capsule filler and can use a lot less leaf to achieve desired effects. Sometimes 2-3 grams is all that is needed, depending on strain.

yeah, I don't use kratom too often but when I do I make capsules.
Get a capsule maker and some gel caps, take some time out and make a bunch.
It's easy.
Definitely the most efficient ingestion method IMO anyways.
Easy to dose and doesn't taste like anything.

see that's weird, I have always found capsules to be weird... I don't like gulping large quantities of veggie caps... but thats just me! I also feel like it messes with absorption times, I should maybe try poking holes in the caps and see if it helps with the "peak effects".
Nice poem 
I'll consume Kratom usually twice during the week. I usually just get some Bali and make a tea from it; 15g hits the spot.
I'll throw in some cinnamon sticks and honey while im simmerin. Usually simmer/boil twice. An hour each time. :thumb_up:

Kratom is very touchy IME. Start low and work your way up till you find your optimal dose. Use a scale and take note. A standard deviation of just +-.2g can mean the difference between not feeling it and getting sick.
Take note that if you consistently use kratom that our standard dose will start to increase.
I worked my way up from 2.5g to 3.6 over the course of maybe 2 months then quit for 2-3 months. Coming back I didn't think about it and took 3.6g and it was horrible.
Diet plays a huge roll in how much one needs. for a period that I went raw vegan I had to decrease my kratom dose to 2/3 or less of what it was previous to that.
Note that 2.5-3.6g is generally a low dose for most people but my diet is very clean (still dirtier than raw vegan at this point though).
It's interesting to note the dosage variations. I read up quite a bit on Kratom over the past few years and then decided to start around the 10g mark for some Bali that I had gotten. Now note....I have never really had much stomach discomfort from any sort of psychoactive substance....except maybe over indulging in alcohol (many years back) and getting sick from that by the end of the night.
It really just comes down to the individual and how their physiology responds to it. I was fortunate I guess to start at a higher dosage and not experience any ill efects...although probably if I started to increase my dose from 15 or-so grams of bali..there could be a possibility of me starting to get sick.
I was also going to say that making Kratom tea and reducing down to a manageable amount to drink seems to reduce alot of stomach discomfort....or at least from what I've read. Compared to just tossing and washing method..this method seems to be superior in effects and any stomachy/ill side effects.
