Re: The truth about kratom - a must read.
true. i dont use it. but there are plenty of 4 year degree american companies and others that know how to do freshman chemistry extraction of alkaloids.

in fact that's actually high school chemistry to make a concentrate extract.

that video is propaganda.

while i don't doubt there are lots of shady moldy indonesian factories and other things.

come on.

this is the most basic of chemistry .

it's like making powdered black pepper..

do a lot of people die because of cheap ass black powder extract.

as i said these 'chemistry' techniques' are 1000 of years old.

what about powdered onion salt from china that most of us probably use.

mold?

you don't hear much about that.

propaganda


and i dont' even like kratom
 Quoting: Grove Street


No, not propaganda. A dose of reality. Also, I never said anyone died. But I am concerned about health implications due to the UNREGULATED status of this product.

Unregulated is the key word. No official government regulations or testing. Ever wonder why all kratom products say "not for human consumption"? Because if they were for human consumption, the whole game would change. That means they would have to prove the ground up leaves weren't contaminated.

It's obvious with a little COMMON SENSE.
 Quoting: SoberLife

You're not concerned about jack shit. UNREGULATED? OH you're "concerned" right. "I'm not a scientologist but"...

How are most herbal supplements grown overseas? DO you think US government can dash over to Indonesia and regulate their growing? What about the tea plantations? Fuck off. "we need regulation" "I'm concerned"...

So, Gotliebite, How is that synthetic lab Kratom coming along?

You can't make money unless you "regulate" the tree leaf out of existence and make it prescription only making sure everyone gets a cut of my pain--right? See doc every 3 months to get prescription-big pharma gets their cut--and people like Gotliebe (thank you president Trump for firing that corrupt son of a bitch) can't get a return on their investment because as long as the natural tree leaf is available people are going to use that. NOW comes along a horror video OMERG someone can die (typical leftard bullshit...why the fuck they always used the "people are dying" and "someone could die"?

You don't fucking pass the sniff test. FAIL.

Re: The truth about kratom - a must read.
I love Kratom. I get super high on it. But, that thread is very detailed and has a ton of good real behind the scenes information. You have to be aware and buy from vendors that test the product. Some vendors like Quantum Kratom run the kratom through a sterilization process with heat and other methods.

There are people who don't know how to control their intake and wind up taking large amounts of kratom every day. Don't be one of those people. Keep your dose steady and take tolerance breaks. You can also use certain supplements to effectively limit tolerance development, like Agmatine.

There is a ton of propaganda out there just like the guy noted in his thread, people will poo poo you for buying kratom from the local store and constantly insist you must buy in bulk online. Cuz they are shilling for either themselves or their friends. Yea you can save money buying in bulk online, but then you have to deal with the mystery issues like that guy described.

There is a documentary out there called A Leaf Of Faith that might be of interest as well.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77396198


Fucking liar. How the fuck you get high on Kratom? Do you also get high on coffee? How much do you take? Are you using that 50x extract? Cause that's about the only way anyone could get high on Kratom and NOT get constipated.

Also never every buy kratom in head shops or gas stations. THAT is where the heroin addicts buy theirs to head off their "sick" until they can get heroin. The assholes that "manufacture" for that market have been known to add fent so their heroin addict customers get an extra bump from their brand and will buy it again. I have never and would never touch headshop / gas station kratom pills. Not to mention it is quadruple the price of a vendor that has been in business for many many years, has a solid testing routine and customer base they don't want to kill.

Re: The truth about kratom - a must read.
I also wanted to note that there is an industry group, I can't remember the name of it at the moment but they were lobbying to get states to pass friendly legislation while also set up a certification process for vendors to get vendors to start following GMP (good manufacturing practices).

What you want if you are worried about contaminants is to stick to vendors following GMP/cGMP and using a copacking facility to pack the kratom (these are the companies that pack sports supplements and stuff like that). Unfortunately online you will get a ton of backlash from people who don't know what they are talking about trying to convince you to buy from their bulk vendors online because they see it as a little cottage industry where they are able to operate like drug dealers but "legal". So you can be cheap and buy bulk product from someone scooping the stuff into bags to ship to you in their living room with their pets roaming around. Or, you can pay more to buy from a place that tests, sterilizes, and professionally packs the product following GMP (which means clean room, regular tests for mold and microbes and stuff in the facility, etc.).

Urban Ice Organix is the company that funded a lot of the professionalization of the industry and that Joe Rogan uses etc. They are crazy expensive so people put them down, but they have a clearance section on their website where you can get product at crazy discounts if you keep an eye on it. Alternatively there's like a dozen other certified vendors. I have bought a lot of bulk containers off their clearance section when they come up, and their product is relatively strong (not as strong as some other online vendors, but stronger than average headshop kratom) and the grind is nice and fine.

Now, that said, I just bought another batch of kratom from a vendor that isn't certified as far as I know, but I trust them they have good procedures and their product is strong. But you have to do your research and know who you are buying from and what their processes are.

For headshop/convenience store kratom I've been pretty pleased with the njoy kratom I've picked up a few times at the local convenience store.

I HOPE you and your lot keep getting shut the fuck down because pushing expensive shit is a shitty thing to do.

There is no reason whatsoever to change a damn thing. Salad is more dangerous than kratom. Picked in fields by dirty people who probably shat on it, washed in plants with the same dirty people and stuffed into bags and boxes by the same dirty people. Same with every other bit of produce we buy.

OMG it's a miracle we're not all dead.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77970727

I get high on Kratom by toss and washing plain powder kratom. Kratom gets you high, thats what it does, it is a narcotic/opioid that happens to be legal for the moment.

You sound like a shill for a bulk vendor trying to protect their dumb operation.

Head shop and gas station kratom can be just fine. Depends what you buy. njoy kratom's Trainwreck product is great. OPMS is good, and the OPMS liquid kratom extract is very potent. Mit45 liquid extract is good but pricey, although a bottle goes a long way for me.

The pricing of the head shop and gas station kratom is in line with the pricing of actual GMP certified vendors, because its coming from GMP copackers.

A cheap vendor that has been in business for many many years is nice and all but they aren't doing the kind of testing a real GMP facility is doing. Sending a small sample off to a lab for a test once in awhile is not enough. What about environmental testing of the facility where the kratom is being packed for customers? Some of those cheapie vendors are storing the bulk kratom in like giant mason jar type containers on a shelf like you would store flour at home.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77970727
Aha, this makes sense. You are afraid if people state that kratom gets you high because its an opioid just like heroin and fentanyl that it will get scheduled and you won't be able to get high anymore. That's ok, I like to get high on it too and hope it doesn't get taken away. Its a fun high, the green gives a good euphoria rush and the red gives you that nod and combined you get that feeling of bliss for hours. That's why people love it.

9 years of use from an online vendor is quite a bit, but you have also made the choice that its an acceptable risk to roll the dice. And that's just the point, let people be informed so they can choose what type of processing and standards and resultant price point meets the risk they are willing to take.

Re: The truth about kratom - a must read.
PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT

Note: I am not against kratom in any way. I use it daily and love the benefits it provides me. This post is for educational purposes, so we, the consumers, can make the best purchasing decisions and protect our health as much as possible.

Let's get to it...

Vein color has absolutely nothing to do with the effects of your kratom. All the colors referenced in strains is typically nothing but a marketing gimmick. At most processing plants, all leaved are mixed together and they are not separated by vein colors.

The color of the powder and the noticible difference of effects has everything to do with the drying process. The method of drying will determine the color of the powder and effects difference in the end product.

Read this article if you want the best possible education in kratom. I have found nobody more honest and knowledgeable than the guy that wrote this extensive article.

There's photos of kratom progressing that will shock you. Extremely unsanitary conditions with no effort to prevent contamination / mold. He breaks down common deceptions we face when making purchases.

Reading this article COMPLETELY changed the way I view this industry. Before reading, I considered myself very knowledgeable based on articles I've read online - when actually, I only believed the common deceptions.

[link to www.doublemherbals.com (secure)]

This is the type of information all kratom users should know so they can make responsible purchasing decisions and protect their health. The more that the public knows, the better. We can vote with our money and make sure the future of kratom is based on sanitary and responsible practices.
 Quoting: SoberLife


Looks like an FDA shill who is being paid quite handsomely for this!

Those in the know are full aware that the FDA is trying to ban this natural supplement since it has gained popularity for getting people off of dangerous big-Pharma prescription pain killers.

Is your payment bribe worth f*cking so many people over who have left dangerous big Pharma pain pills for a safe natural alternative??

I'm not aware of any way you can clean like cadmium and stuff out of it. I mostly skimmed that guy's thread from double m, but I don't think he covered the revelations about the high concentration of heavy metals in kratom powder. I guess there must be some process one could develop to strip the metals but it would be super expensive and probably cheaper to design and build a controlled kratom farming operation from scratch in a different location than Indonesia. Incidentally someone was trying to do that but I don't know if they were ever successful.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77396198

Again you are a fucking lying sack of shit. Kratom is an opiod AGONIST that acts on the opiod receptors in the brain. It is not, in any way shape or form--an OPIATE.

Ever since Gotlieb went on a rampage trying to get Kratom banned so he could get rich off of the synthetic--liars like you have been making the rounds--your OP partner too--OMG danger DANGER DANNNNGEERRRRR we need REGULAAATION...fuck off. There is literally NO FUCKING WAY you are getting high off toss and wash. You're not talking to a retard. I have been using this for years. I took 2 tsp once and fell asleep. My usual dose is 1/2 tsp three times a day. It reduces neuropathy pain with NO side effects to the point I have my life back. When I see fucking liars like you--some GLPtard going to take Kratom and wonder--where the fuck is my high.

I have seen retards taking 30 grams at a time trying to get high. I bet they NEVER fucking poop.

Sorry--I do NOT believe your bullshit "I get high off toss and wash" no you do not. IF you get any kind of "high" you get it from a 50x extract which most certainly should be banned because the only people using that shit are already drug addicts.

For the uninformed if a heroin user cannot get their smack they take Kratom because it will stave off the sick. MANY people have successfully used Kratom to get off the heroin, and even alcohol.


Because of illegal activity by the government (confiscating Kratom shipments and holding them hostage in customs even though not a single law is being broken) the price of Kratom from ANY vendor has nearly doubled. Lab testing each shipment is also expensive.

SO FUCK YOU and your fucking lying ass piece of shit propaganda I hope Gotlieb and his army of profit-motivated liars made it worth your while.

Anyone interested in Kratom for pain relief visit the American Kratom Assocation website and look at the science. Gotlieb and his minions FAILED on a nationwide ban--then they started going state to state to the pharmacy boards...Kratom is SO good that some states have passed a Kratom protection bill.

Again, never ever fucking buy your kratom where the heroin addicts do--gas stations and head shops..why? Because an addict is NOT planning ahead--they can't get their horse they dash into the head shop--and anyone that is fool enough to use gas station and headshop kratom is a fucking retard. THAT is product designed to make heroin addicts "happy".

Cuz they are shilling for either themselves or their friends. Yea you can save money buying in bulk online, but then you have to deal with the mystery issues like that guy described.

There is a documentary out there called A Leaf Of Faith that might be of interest as well.

Fucking liar. How the fuck you get high on Kratom? Do you also get high on coffee? How much do you take? Are you using that 50x extract? Cause that's about the only way anyone could get high on Kratom and NOT get constipated.

Also never every buy kratom in head shops or gas stations. THAT is where the heroin addicts buy theirs to head off their "sick" until they can get heroin. The assholes that "manufacture" for that market have been known to add fent so their heroin addict customers get an extra bump from their brand and will buy it again. I have never and would never touch headshop / gas station kratom pills. Not to mention it is quadruple the price of a vendor that has been in business for many many years, has a solid testing routine and customer base they don't want to kill.

Again you are a fucking lying sack of shit. Kratom is an opiod AGONIST that acts on the opiod receptors in the brain. It is not, in any way shape or form--an OPIATE.

There is literally NO FUCKING WAY you are getting high off toss and wash. You're not talking to a retard. I have been using this for years. I took 2 tsp once and fell asleep. My usual dose is 1/2 tsp three times a day. It reduces neuropathy pain with NO side effects to the point I have my life back. When I see fucking liars like you--some GLPtard going to take Kratom and wonder--where the fuck is my high.

I have seen retards taking 30 grams at a time trying to get high. I bet they NEVER fucking poop.

Sorry--I do NOT believe your bullshit "I get high off toss and wash" no you do not. IF you get any kind of "high" you get it from a 50x extract which most certainly should be banned because the only people using that shit are already drug addicts.

For the uninformed if a heroin user cannot get their smack they take Kratom because it will stave off the sick. MANY people have successfully used Kratom to get off the heroin, and even alcohol.


Because of illegal activity by the government (confiscating Kratom shipments and holding them hostage in customs even though not a single law is being broken) the price of Kratom from ANY vendor has nearly doubled. Lab testing each shipment is also expensive.

SO FUCK YOU and your fucking lying ass piece of shit propaganda I hope Gotlieb and his army of profit-motivated liars made it worth your while.

Anyone interested in Kratom for pain relief visit the American Kratom Assocation website and look at the science. Gotlieb and his minions FAILED on a nationwide ban--then they started going state to state to the pharmacy boards...Kratom is SO good that some states have passed a Kratom protection bill.

Again, never ever fucking buy your kratom where the heroin addicts do--gas stations and head shops..why? Because an addict is NOT planning ahead--they can't get their horse they dash into the head shop--and anyone that is fool enough to use gas station and headshop kratom is a fucking retard. THAT is product designed to make heroin addicts "happy".
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77970727

Opiates are opioids. Opiate just means made from opium. They work the same. You get high the same. If you were a heroin user or a fent user or a morphine user or oxy user etc. your opioid tolerance would be much higher and so you wouldn't get as high off of kratom. But for someone who has never used heroin or similar drugs, kratom will give you the same high and nod experience because your opioid tolerance is not that high.

I get very high off plain powder. I don't use extracts regularly, although I've tried them. They are convenient but the cost is too high for me. I just toss and wash, 5-8 grams is enough for me depending on how good the particular batch is and I get super friggin high from it. I love it it makes listening to music really enjoyable. I get that blissed out feeling from it and the numbing and relaxation. Usually I mix the green and the red because the green acts faster so after the euphoria from the green peaks I am still coming up on the red and the overall high lasts for hours. Actually, I think I'm gonna redose now and put on some Pink Floyd.

No, not propaganda. A dose of reality. Also, I never said anyone died. But I am concerned about health implications due to the UNREGULATED status of this product.

Unregulated is the key word. No official government regulations or testing. Ever wonder why all kratom products say "not for human consumption"? Because if they were for human consumption, the whole game would change. That means they would have to prove the ground up leaves weren't contaminated.

It's obvious with a little COMMON SENSE.
 Quoting: SoberLife
Unfortunately I don't think kratom, at least the kratom available today, could ever pass any standards that would get it government certified for human consumption because the heavy metals contamination is too much. I'm not aware of any way you can clean like cadmium and stuff out of it. I mostly skimmed that guy's thread from double m, but I don't think he covered the revelations about the high concentration of heavy metals in kratom powder. I guess there must be some process one could develop to strip the metals but it would be super expensive and probably cheaper to design and build a controlled kratom farming operation from scratch in a different location than Indonesia. Incidentally someone was trying to do that but I don't know if they were ever successful.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77396198

It is a fucking tree leaf. MANY vendors only buy from sustainable farming and more and more farmers are practicing sustainable farming.

I love Kratom. I get super high on it. But, that thread is very detailed and has a ton of good real behind the scenes information. You have to be aware and buy from vendors that test the product. Some vendors like Quantum Kratom run the kratom through a sterilization process with heat and other methods.

Here's the truth about Kratom.

It's a partial opioid agonist, that's meant for DRUGGIE pussies and other such junkie losers who are too busy watching Netflix to

GET OFF OF THEIR ASSES AND GO FOR A RUN.

a Kratom junkie is no different than an oxy junkie or a methadone clinic lifer;. They are too lazy and weak to conjure up their own endorphins.

And as a consequence will flush untold amounts of money and time down the toilet,

will be able to travel or go anywhere without their precious leaf,

Will see a gross imbalance of natural hormones, a drop in sex drive and motivation (any opioid agonist block male sex hormone, testosterone production to the level of anabolics), shrunken testicles, hair loss, disturbed sleep cycle

Re: The truth about kratom - a must read.
true. i dont use it. but there are plenty of 4 year degree american companies and others that know how to do freshman chemistry extraction of alkaloids.

in fact that's actually high school chemistry to make a concentrate extract.

that video is propaganda.

while i don't doubt there are lots of shady moldy indonesian factories and other things.

come on.

this is the most basic of chemistry .

it's like making powdered black pepper..

do a lot of people die because of cheap ass black powder extract.

as i said these 'chemistry' techniques' are 1000 of years old.

what about powdered onion salt from china that most of us probably use.

So, Gotliebite, How is that synthetic lab Kratom coming along?

You can't make money unless you "regulate" the tree leaf out of existence and make it prescription only making sure everyone gets a cut of my pain--right? See doc every 3 months to get prescription-big pharma gets their cut--and people like Gotliebe (thank you president Trump for firing that corrupt son of a bitch) can't get a return on their investment because as long as the natural tree leaf is available people are going to use that.

Re: The truth about kratom - a must read.
make a tincture with your kratom. The most effective concentration distilled from raw leaf.
The alcohol used in the distillation process kills bacteria, mold and fungi.

no toss and choke ...
just pure herbal meds.
problem solved.

You obviously didn't read the article, not even a single word of it.

Know where your kratom comes from? Did your kratom supplier use sanitary methods when processing the leaf? Did they hang the plant matter to prevent contamination from mold or other foreign particles?

Let's have a reality check.



This village is drying kratom leaves in the middle of the main road. People are walking through it barefoot. If you look closely you can spot chickens and dogs in the video. Think they trained the animals not to shit in your kratom leaves?

Kratom is an opportunity for poor 3rd world citizens to make a few dollars. These people are not educated or care about how clean the product is. They get paid by the kilo whether it's dirty or clean.

Most of these people naturally have kratom trees in their communities. Imagine if someone told you that you could rake your yard and sell the dead leaves by the pound! That is exactly what's happening here!

Here's another video of barefoot people raking kratom they're drying IN THE DIRT.



Making sure your kratom is saturated in dirt is a for sure method of maximizing profits!

There are large collection points that purchase from the public. They accept dried leaf from anyone that shows up. No proof of sanitation or responsible practices required.

They then take all these leaves they purchased from hundreds of people and run them through a grinder. This ensures a consistent potency quality control method.

After its all proceeded, it's sold to hustler for a few dollars a kilo...and they come online, make website, and network through various services with the intent to sell their product to Americans!

Don't worry though, they'll tell you the kratom was farm raised on their own farms, hand washed, string died, and tested in a lab for purity and for contaminants.

They'll all show you the same lab reports and photos of their operation for proof!

SO...

I'll ask again.

Do you know where your kratom comes from?

They do they same thing with rice here (as well as rest of Southeast Asia). They spread harvested rice out on concrete roads for drying it out. Vehicles (except 2 wheeled), people and animals all go over it.

Kratom is indigenous to Southeast Asia. There are many herbal plants and holistic treatments here. People here can't afford Western medicine. I have access to all kinds of herbal medicines/remedies by Aetas and Ilocans (indigenous tribes on Luzon). However, I have to avoid using any unless I discontinue Western pharmaceuticals as it could have unknown interactions/side effects.
You are born with the truth, then taught a lie.

Re: The truth about kratom - a must read.
I tried two different types of kratom, and it had absolutely zero effect. It appears to be a scam / joke.

Dude.

Your one pathetic experience and you then make retarded assumptions and blanket claims?

You’re the expert despite the fact that millions of people have been taking it for pain, sleep, stress, anxiety. Etc..

Typical derp

Re: The truth about kratom - a must read.
While it is a small minor high kratom does get you high. It acts on some on the bodies opioid receptors.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77449541


Saying kratom is a “high” is like saying coffee is a cocaine speed

Just because something works on the same biological receptors doesn’t make it the same compound

Just like how some Antidepressants work on pain receptors ...doesn’t mean they are pain meds

I would consider it more of a buzz than a high. It definitely causes an increased mood and can be "felt" in the body when taken. Because of this, it will fall under the category of "mind altering substance".

Different people use it for different reasons. There's obviously beneficial properties to be utilized.

I find that when I take it, it provides benefit to my life. It helps relief anxiety and keep me in a positive mindset. I work a high stress job and kratom helps me function at high standards.
