I live in Michigan and I wonder with all the states banning it would it get stopped if it transit through a state where it is illegal. It is legal in Michigan and the company is in Idaho.

I am on day 6 of being sober. Today i think why the fuck am I even doing this. For context i managed to keep my dose under 5gpd for 2 years. I was doing well, running a company came up w amazing ideas and made amazing connections with people while ok Kratom due to being very socializable. But when i read about ppl quitting and all the horror stories I decided to giving quitting a try, whereas I have zero issues while I'm on Kratom and there's no state ban coming. Now I'm just lying down doing nothing for a week. Idk given my ability to control my intake maybe i don't need to be stopping now. U might say well my life before Kratom was probably normal but fuck no I was an amazing husband and dad ever since I took on Kratom. Idk man

Hi All,

Happy Labor Day (it’s the best holiday 😢). Okay, I’m listening to Mac speak in Georgia on “YouTube” and was wondering: Are there any politicians in Georgia who are pro Kratom and on our side?

Thanks!

10 years off and on. Last 4 years on. Was up to 5-7 grams every 3 hours. Discovered a new plan also dropping amounts.....1 year ago I started doing small hourly doses all day. I mix 5 1/2 level teaspoons of my fav Red Maeng Da in a 16 ounce empty Snapple bottle, 15 ounces of very warm water for better dissolving. Every hour I shake it up, drink 3 ounces which is of course 1/2 tsp a dose or 1-1.5 grams an hour. Over 12 hours I'm doing 12-18 grams in a day. So I may be cutting out 8+ grams. OK, still a bit each day, but damn, the micro dosing this way is amazing ! I never chase and continue to enjoy the benefits, retaining the full affect every hour always in a good mood, and sociable at my part time job (retired old guy), and sleep like a rock. When out for a few, I carry 1 or 2, 3 1/2 ounce travel bottles in my pocket and slam 'em down right in public like i used to do with vodka (sober now) HA HA. Read here a lot, first time posting.

Do any ladies take the mini pill and use agmatine in their routine? Daily kratom about 12gpd, and want to take agmatine at bedtime for tolerance but wondering if it’s safe? Nothing on Google so far. I take the Errin mini pill birth control at bedtime as well.

Besides the occasional dud Kratom for the most part just works for me. I tried one of the brands Redditors rave about and it was the same shit. Lately been buying a brand that sells 40$ kilos when my local smoke shop couldn’t supply me with 35$ kilos anymore and I swear it’s the same thing as the 150$ kilo I got before

Don’t even get me started on strains. All these colors imo just gives the illusion of choice

A couple of weeks ago I had some horrific pain that I thought was constipation caused by some large blockage. Went to the ER and they found a gallstone blocking the bile duct. Removed via a tube down the throat. Follow up visit to the surgeon, decision was to remove the gallbladder due to risk of further gallstone issues (my brother and my adult son have had their gallbladders removed.) That was done early last week, and I'm home. They gave me 10 mg oxycodone for the pain. My question: I don't use Kratom daily, but I do take it frequently, mainly because it helps my chronic sciatic pain. The pain is getting better and I think I'd prefer to switch to the Kratom instead of the Oxycodone. But I'm wondering if Kratom with no gallbladder is an issue? My bile duct had developed a small leak due to the huge gallstone and they put a stent in it (it comes out in three months) so a lot going on. When I google, of course, the studies tend to be negative in terms of Kratom after gallbladder removal but they talk about the opioid nature of Kratom, which makes no sense since they prescribed oxycodone (and hydrocodone after the initial stone removal.) I'm not looking for "excuses" to take Kratom again, just want to make sure I'm not going to screw anything up while healing. Thanks.

Hello everyone, I am currently frequently taking Kratom since the end of last year I always had a few breaks to keep my tolerance low I took on a avg maybe 5-10g every 2 weeks maybe (like on avg i had days where i had 20+ but like i said i had quite a few breaks that span from a few days to weeks and maybe even a month) so right now I am on a longer break and I have felt some longer lasting symptoms now. I havent taken kratom for approximately 30 days and I have had cold like symptoms for 2 weeks. I have a runny nose all the time and much mucus build up in my lung. Sometimes I have a bit of a headache. Now you might think that just sounds like a normal cold but in these last 2 weeks I basically stayed home the whole (it was summer break) ate good, slept good, took medication from the pharmacy that they recommended me and it havent recovered a bit. So I figured it has to be from the kratom withdrawal, has anyone had similiar issues? What do you guys think? I really want to quit Kratom but I dont know how long i can keep up like this. I would appreciate any help and thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, I'm just weighing the risks of Kratom as I'm worried I'm doing some irreversible damage to my body.

I used to take Kratom until I was properly prescribed pain meds, being on both I think I prefer the Kratom.

Wondering if anyone has a similar story, what you took, and how you made the switch from meds to Kratom?

My biggest worry is withdrawal.

Saratoga County, just north of Albany, is now considering a ban on all kratom sales. This comes after Albany County recently imposed a similar ban. Neighboring Rensselaer County is also considering a ban and has a Legislature meeting Sept. 8. While these bans don’t schedule kratom, their language usually impacts online orders too, so it’s an effective blanket ban for local residents.

The New York Legislature has embraced regulation and rejected prohibition, but these county bans pose a serious threat for more and more residents. New York has one of the largest kratom consumer bases in the U.S., and I think all residents here should make it a priority to push back against these local bans.

For Saratoga County, it looks like the issue will be taken up at a Sept. 15 board of supervisors meeting. Kratom consumers are encouraged to reach out and share their personal experiences.

Contact your town supervisor and the Board Chairman. Written comments are accepted and filed with meeting minutes.

So I’m well aware the 7*h is terrible, addicting, not even to be a topic here. So where do you begin With botanical extracts/teas ect. How do you find a trusted source, how do know how to take it and how much?

Took my usual 3g dose in capsule fom around noon. Did weight training at the gym around 6. Felt a nice burp rising up. Turned out to be water/acid reflux. Instead of abandoning my set I just swallowed it lol

After the gym I’m driving thru thinking of what to order and my head started spinning. Collected myself, knowing I had been hydrating as always, and then thought “OH SHIT, I just inadvertently re-dosed by swallowing my acid reflux!” (Never taken 2 doses in one day before) So I got scared. Imagining worst-case scenarios like a seizure in a drive-thru LOL. But I calmed myself down and all is good.

I don’t THINK this is possible but if anyone has an opinion or similar story feel free to share.

The potential Texas ban in 2027 is getting closer and closer after the failed attempt in 2025. How are we feeling about it, given all the bans that are happening, and the fact that Texas just passed a very controversial hemp/THC ban? Is everyone still keeping in contact with their representatives? I’m nervous they might try to sneak a ban in.

Today North Dakota lawmakers passed House Bill 1628 banning synthetic kratom products and restricting the sale of natural kratom products to those ages 21 and older while also requiring accurate labeling.

This marks a victory for public health and safety, keeping dangerous synthetic kratom products off the shelves and protecting our young people from the adverse and unknown long-term effects of natural kratom.

I have now signed the bill, and the sale of kratom remains prohibited in North Dakota until administrative rules are implemented in accordance with HB 1628.

We appreciate the Legislature convening in special session and working hard to pass a meaningful law that protects the well-being of our citizens. We especially want to thank Senate Majority Leader David Hogue, Sen. Michelle Axtman, Rep. Pat Heinert and Attorney General Drew Wrigley for their leadership on this issue.

Yeah so when I buy kratom I usually buy it in a headshop at my local city. But yesterday I bought some in a headshop closer to me. It tasted kinda like shit (even worse than the stuff I usually get). It made me feel wierd and anxious in public. The stuff I usually get gets me buzzed but chill, able to act 100% sober.

What's up with this and have any of you also experienced this?

I'll just stick to getting the stuff I usually get.

I recently got prescribed straterra(2 days ago) after going cold turkey. Sleep has been horrible and I’ve had an AWFUL headache that has me still awake at 6:35 am. Would a teaspoon a night kill me? Or mess me up I guess?

Is there a difference between them?

I just got an order from an online site, and it’s all different colors of kratom in caps.

But now I’m wondering if powder is better? I got the caps to use at work.

Yesterday & last night I was in withdrawals from my oxycodone. ( I want off of them, trying kratom again) but the green caps I got from a local store and red powder did not work longer then a hour or so. Finally I couldn’t take it, and took tramadol.

I have to be at work soon but what to try the ones in the order I just got. BTW was order was supposed to be 7 days ago!!
My samples are yellow, white, red, green , and trainwreck. They sent me 9 bags of samples ( their picks) What I ordered is green bag and red bag

BISMARCK, N.D. – Gov. Kelly Armstrong today applauded North Dakota lawmakers for passing legislation that bans the sale, possession and use of synthetic kratom products and restricts the sale of natural kratom products to those ages 21 and over while also requiring accurate labeling. Armstrong said he will sign amended House Bill 1628 after it received final passage this morning, concluding the Legislature’s three-day special session.

“This is a victory for public health and safety, keeping dangerous synthetic kratom products off the shelves and protecting our young people from the adverse and unknown long-term effects of natural kratom, which is not regulated by the FDA but will now be subject to strict state regulations,” Armstrong said. “While we preferred a total ban on kratom, we appreciate the Legislature convening in special session and working hard to pass a meaningful law that protects the well-being of our citizens. We especially want to thank Senate Majority Leader David Hogue, Sen. Michelle Axtman, Rep. Pat Heinert and Attorney General Drew Wrigley for their leadership on this issue.”

“Public awareness on this critical health issue has skyrocketed, and a meaningful ban on synthetic kratom is now the law in North Dakota,” Wrigley said. “The law also provides new and meaningful restrictions on the kratom products left unbanned for now.”

The sale of all kratom and kratom products remains prohibited in North Dakota until administrative rules are implemented in accordance with HB 1628.

I know that it’s supposed to be the literal opposite and it constipates you, but for some reason I’ve never had that experience.

Most nights, I take kratom and then 30 minutes later nature is calling. My theory is that it just starts relaxing my body and bowels so much that things start moving. I have not heard anyone else with this experience. Is there anyone else out there like this?

I just went to my regular guy to buy Kratom powder which is still LEGAL, and he said they're not re stocking it. I tried to explain what the law actually says but who knows. How are things in the other boroughs?
