Kratom Information

Effects of kratom
Kratom has a strong effect on your mood and your energy. It alleviates fears, while describing the feeling as happy, strong and active, with a calm mind and a strong will to work. Thai workers use it to get through the working day. The effects can be felt after 5 to 10 minutes and can last for several hours.

Most people say the effects are stimulating and euphoric at a low dose and calming at a higher dose. This can probably be explained by the fact that mitragynine stimulates the delta opiate receptors at small amounts, but as the dose rises more and more stimulates the mu opiate receptors. These are the same receptors that are stimulated when you use opium-based drugs.

Although the main alkaloids in kratom are related to psychedelic compounds, kratom does not appear to have any psychedelic effects. The main effects are comparable to those of opiates: analgesic and cough suppressant, but also narcotic and euphoric. These effects are roughly comparable in strength to codeine.

Some sources claim that kratom, like other opiates, induces sexual desire in women and can reduce erection problems in men. The positive effect of mitragynine on mood and a reduction in anxiety are probably responsible for this. Other effects of mitragynine include decreased muscle tone, local anesthesia and central nervous system depression.

Direct negative effects can include dry mouth, increased urination, decreased appetite and constipation. Unlike opiates, mitragynine does not usually cause nausea or vomiting. Heavy use can result in a mild form of lethargy.

Difference in kratom strains
There are several types of kratom available, and new varieties appear on the market regularly. However, in reality these are often commercial Thai or Malaysian species, which are sold under a different name. Therefore, make sure you always buy kratom from a reliable source!

The reason that different types of kratom work differently is due to genetic makeup, which changes the alkaloid content and formation.

Bali: According to users, Bali kratom gives a narcotic and very relaxing effect at higher doses, while in lower doses it has a very stimulating effect.

Borneo; It is very strong in reducing pain and has a relaxing effect, recommended for sleeping problems.

Red Borneo is very analgesic and relaxing while red thai gives a lot of energy.

White and Green are known for their energy and focus.

Thai: Kratom from Thailand is said to be the strain with the longest-acting effect, as well as the most narcotic of all kratom varieties. Today, Thai kratom is grown in other countries, as it was placed on the list of banned plants there a few years ago. A normal dose of Thai kratom is between 3 and 5 grams.

Malaysia: Kratom from Malaysia is almost identical to kratom from Bali, according to users.

Maeng Da: (Thai) Maeng Da means "pimp grade" and comes from Thailand. It is the strongest kratom variety available. Users find the effects of Maeng Da less euphoric than other strains, but especially emphasize the stimulating effects. Critics find Maeng Da feels more haunted than other premium strains, and believe that the effect does not last very long. The active dose is 1-2 grams. High quality Maeng Da has a green color.
