I heard about Kratom off a website. I decided to look up reviews on it to see if it had legitimate effects. People were saying great things about it, especially on YouTube, so I decided to give it a shot. I ended up buying the Maeng Da capsules.

Each capsule has about 0.5g of Kratom inside, or 2 capsules=1 gram. Here's how I took them:

4:25- 6 capsules (3g)
4:45- 2 capsules (1g)
5:05- 2 capsules (1g)
5:15- 2 capsules (1g)
5:30- 6 capsules (3g)
5:38- 2 capsules (1g)

Please note that I took a HUGE dose, especially for my first time. However, I have always had a high tolerance for drugs and this was no exception. I can't give the exact time that I began feeling the effects, but I think it was around 5:45 when they really started kicking in.

This is a pretty good drug. The high is very similar to painkillers. It's more of a body high than a mind high. It made my body feel very relaxed, and sort of numb feeling.

My nose kept itching. My pupils got smaller. At the peak of the high, probably around 6:30, I began feeling very friendly. I went to the mall and wanted to talk to everyone. I tried to think about things that have been pissing me off lately, but not an ounce of anger could come out of me. I was pretty happy. I also wanted to get things done at my house, cleaning and whatnot. It was fun to me.
[Erowid Note: Driving while intoxicated, tripping, or extremely sleep deprived is dangerous and irresponsible because it endangers other people. Don't do it!] I had some errands I needed to run, and I was nervous about driving, but I did it anyways and had absolutely no problem. I was probably more cautious than usual actually!

It is now 7:36 and the effects aren't so pleasant anymore. It's obvious now that I overdid it with my dosage. I feel really nauseous now. I also feel overheated, but I don't know if that's because of the Kratom or just because it's usually hot in my house. I still feel high but it's not the same as earlier because now I feel tired and weak. I'm hoping it will go away soon, but I don't know. Overall it's a good drug, but every rose has its thorn. Next time I will take a smaller dose.
