Kratom First-Timer

After much research and consideration I decided to give Kratom a try. Being a fan of opiates I thought this would be an interesting experiment. What really convinced me was the fact that it's a natural substance, it's legal, and has no reported history of overdose.

The morning of my trial I took my normal dose of prozac (20mg), and clonazepam (2mg). I was excited about a new experience and had set aside the whole day for the experiment. I hadn't eaten since about 6pm the previous evening.

So to start off I mixed approx. 3 grams of the Kratom powder to a 6 oz. Glass of Peach Iced Tea. I had read so many reports of the horrible flavor and was shocked that it mixed with the flavor of the tea so well. Aside from a slight aftertaste of green tea or what I described as 'leaves' it wasn't bad at all.

12:25pm-mixed and drank the Kratom solution in two large gulps.

12:40pm-began to feel as though I had that 'one too many cups of coffee' feeling. Decided to put the boost to good use and got out in my garden. Pulled weeds and set up a trellis for my morning glories (my next experiment).

1:00pm-began feeling a warmth behind my eyes and nose that I have always associated with opiates. The sedation was beginning but without any loss of motivation. I kept working in my garden for another 20 minutes or so.

1:15pm-the warm relaxed feeling has grown and I decided to go inside and relax. Though I haven't felt any 'nod off' feelings I am enjoying the experience immensely. My mother who is also interested saw how much I was enjoying myself and asked to join me. I mixed her about 1.5 grams which she slugged like a pro. (that's my mother)

2:30pm-I am very relaxed and luckily have felt no nausea. The Kratom seems to be going strong still and I believe I have begun to peak.

4:00pm-though I know the come-down has begun I am still quite relaxed and content. There is no 'more,more,more' feeling that I often get with opiates and I am still feeling quite euphoric.

5:30pm-began writing this report and am amazed at how quickly and easily I can communicate my thoughts and I'm actually typing much faster and more accurately than usual.

After 4 hours I am very impressed with this wonderful plant and have made plans to get more from my favorite entheogen supplier. I think this plant gives me the best parts of an opiate/caffeine high without the draw-backs I.e. Nausea, lethargy, irritabilty. I will definitely keep this wonderful plant in my herbal arsenal for a while to come.
