I've tried Kratom a few times. In my experience I have to give something a few tries to get a good idea about how I react to it. So I had tried Kratom various ways.

I found that drinking a tea of this stuff would make me nauseous every time, like I had the flu or whatever. The nausea dominated the entire experience
nausea dominated the entire experience
and any positive effects couldn't be enjoyed because I was so sick, and it lasted for several hours. I found a little cannabis helped with the stomach ache but the general feeling of malaise induced by the foul tea lingered. It lasted for several hours and was just not fun at all. I did feel really good though when the stuff wore off maybe just because I was no longer ill though.

I tried encapsulating it into gelatin tabs also. I took 4, 6 and 8 grams on separate occasions in large 00 gelatin tabs. I felt much less nauseous for some reason taking it this way. Not sure why. I got mildly euphoric and felt warm and relaxed, a little like smoking a bit of cannabis I guess but not nearly as good. Not bad but it didn't last very long and wasn't worth it.

I can say that Kratom is something I have tried but not something I would bother with again.
