Kratom is indigenous to the rain forests of South East Asia, mainly Thailand and Malaysia. It is a large tree that can reach 15 meters. Over 25 alkaloids have been isolated from kratom, the most important being mitragynine.
In Thailand it was used in many dishes, before it was banned by the governement.
In addition to being used as a narcotic drug in its own right, it is often used as a substitute for opium when opium is unavailable, or to moderate opium addiction. As mitragynine suppresses opiate withdrawal, kratom is said to be a (temporary) cure for opium addiction. A small minority of users use kratom to prolong sexual intercourse.
These are 100% top quality leaves, not a blend. You only need a small quantity. The quality of this product is the same as the kratom powder on our website.
Effects:
Effects come on within five to ten minutes after use, and last for several hours. Kratom has both stimulating and depressant qualities as if chewing coca leaves and smoking opium simultaneously. Some sources say that it is a stimulant in lower doses, becoming sedative in higher doses. The dominant effects seem to be similar to opiate drugs, including analgesia, roughly comparable in strength to codeine. Unlike opiates, mitragynine does not appear to cause nausea or vomiting. The feeling has been described as happy, strong, and active, with a strong desire to do work. Other effects of mitragynine are local anesthesia and central nervous system depression. Heavy use can result in a prolonged sleep.
Usage:
The leaves of kratom are grinded and eaten, usually followed by drinking warm water, tea or coffee. Leaves can also be made into a tea, or a crude resin extraction can be made. This resin extract is made by preparing a water extract of the leaves, boiling it down, and then shaping it into small ball.
While new users may only need 5-10 grams of leaves to obtain the desired effects, some users find with time they need to increase doses, up to 50 grams leaves per day for a strong effect. It is best to take the leaves on an empty stomach.
Warnings:
We advise not to participate in traffic or other activities that demand your concentration.
Usage of kratom in high dosages may be mildly addictive. Acute side effects include dry mouth, loss of appetite and constipation. Side effects from long term use include anorexia and weight loss, insomnia, and a darkening of the skin, particularly on the cheeks.
Do not combine wit MAO-inhibitors.
