3 :28 – 3: 34pm - Consumption of a bit more than 3 grams of Kratom (Thai). I chew on the shredded leaves and swallow them with some water. Taste is definitely not pleasant. It’s bitter and disgusting, very disgusting. Has a kind of metallic taste to it.

(Just so you’d know, I ate a solid meal about an hour ago.)

I hop on my bike and head to the library.

3:54pm – I’m at the library. I think I am starting to feel the effects. I was just looking at a bust and it was nice to look at. Not special, just nice. I also feel a slight something in between my eyes, as if they were bonded. How I feel overall is pretty hard to put into words, but I’d say calm and warm.

I only felt those effects for something like 5 minutes, maybe 10. It could be because I biked again at that point. I think I biked faster than I would usually, and I climbed a pretty steep hill with ease without even being on my lowest gear (which I would’ve probably been on if I was sober).

4:08pm – I arrive at a location with train tracks and ‘wildish’ nature. I say ‘wildish’ but in reality there’s mostly just grass and big weeds. I plan on walking around here for an hour or two. Consumption of 2 more grams of Kratom (Thai). Total is something like 5 grams now. The taste still isn’t good, but the chewing goes a bit easier than earlier. Now that I’m off my bike and just standing up, I do feel a very slight buzz again.

While walking around, I didn’t feel the buzz anymore. I remember I was saying to myself at a moment that I didn’t feel special/high but neither did I feel like the usual soberness. I felt at peace in my head. (Normally, I’m almost constantly talking to myself, either out loud when I can but most of the time in my head, but here not. I sometimes said something to myself, but for the most part I kept silent.)

6:15pm – Now that I’m back at home and sitting on the couch, I do feel a nice relaxation. A nice mellowness all over my body, but surely not to the point where I’m couchlocked. It’s really pleasant. Like I just wrote, I feel it all over my body, but it is more pronounced around my knees. I feel like a ‘relaxation buzz’ there. (This could have to do with the fact that I biked and climbed a few hills.)

Conclusion – I think Kratom is nice when one is either stressed, depressed, sad or anxious (or anything like that, of course) and just want to unwind for a moment, without the high/stone weed brings. This Thai variety of the Mitragyna speciosa brought my mind at peace and a nice feeling of relaxation. The best part of it is that I am still fully functional. Thoughts and mood were more positive, too. Even though the taste when chewing is not good, it is definitely worth it.
