[Erowid Note: Because opiate use can lead to significant tolerance (requiring higher doses for the same effects), the dose used by a first time user is significantly smaller than that used by a regular user. It can be extremely dangerous to choose ones dose on the basis of the amount taken by someone else. Overdoses of opiates can be fatal.]
I have been interested in Kratom for a long time now. I used to be a heavy user of opiates in my past and appreciate what kratom has to offer. I have read several reports and heard a lot of good things from my friends.

I'm in a position now where I get drug tested quite frequently, so I thought kratom would be right up my alley.

I first tried it when I purchase an ounce of powdered leaf from a smoke shop. I drank the whole thing within an hour with some juice. It tasted quite horrible. But I manned up, it wasn't like it was pure crap or something. An hour or so later I was feeling very euphoric and just a good sense of well-being was present.

Then I started the get the itch all over my face and body, a signature of a good opiate.

So 2 hours into the expierence, I'm starting to feel very sick. And then my mouth starts the water and my stomach rumbles. Time to throw-up.

As it came out my mouth, the grittyness of the powder scraped up my throat. It was a crappy pain throughout the next day.

Since then, I have ordered several extracts onlinem, from 10x to 20x, and even a half gram of 250x!!! I haven't gotten a feeling like the first time ever since. I don't know what it is!

It seems like to me that the only thing to do is just have a full ounce of kratom whole leaf to get anything out of it. the extracts apparently leave out key proponents that don't allow it to be euphoric.
