Here is some information on kratom gathered from a collection of personnal experiences. I won't bore you with all I took in the past. Let's just say I am an experienced psychonaut...

I had tried the dried leaves back in the day, with the boiling and all and it had'nt been very convincing. While researching in the last year for legal and available substances on the net, I (re)discovered kratom in powder form this time.

I started just drinking the powder in juice. Not awful but not enjoyable. Started with 3 grams. And went up to 7 grams. At 7 grams I laid in bed with great nausea for a whole afternoon, feeling sick. At 3 grams, it was enjoyable and sometimes reminiscent indeed of an opiate.

But then I discovered the power of small doses. I would fill capsules with between 600mg and 900mg maybe. It brought me focus and energy, lifted my mood and tamed my sometimes difficult attitude. I started taking 600mg at work. One time a day at first. My job is physically demanding and involves a fair amount of stress. The kratom also helped me quit my oral THC addiction, which had replaced my hash smoking habit.

I find many benefits from small doses. But be warned if you don't skip at least 2 days per week, a tolerance quickly builds. Skipping one day is not enough. I find myself a little psychologically addicted but nothing too heavy. I have no withdrawal symptoms even after 2 weeks of daily use. But my doses are around 3.6g a day now. 3 doses of two 600mg capsules (that I now buy already in capsules). Used wisely this plant is a great help.

Also I must say that my job involves driving. At 1.2g per dose I feel more focused and more able than normal, very able to drive. I take driving very seriously I might add. Never drink and drive. Even driving while high from hash or weed is not something I would recommend. I feel more zen towards other driver's bad behaviour as well. More tolerant.

So just be careful with your dosage and the frequency of use and discover by yourself that sometimes less is (much) more.
