You tell me. I saw the results. I had been with her 10 minutes earlier. suddenly she acted as if she had been drinking for hours.

Not to be a jerk or anything but umm... she was either acting way more messed up that she actually was, or something else she ingested that day was making the effects more pronounced. It is a very weak drug, I could get more messed up on caffeine. Are you sure she hadn't had any alcohol, caffeine, or another intoxicating substance before she took it that day? Because by itself it is hard to get messed up on unless you take a lot, or you take it in a concentrated form which, as was mentioned earlier in this topic, is harder to get and fairly expensive.

I've taken it. It's not dangerous. If it had the capability to deliver the intoxicated ness that your friend is acting out within 10 minutes if taking it don't you think it would be much more popular and prevalent?

The effects are extremely mild.

If you cook it down and shoot it into your jugular vein, it works much faster. She must have used the old anal trick for it to work in 10 minutes. She's obviously an amateur, but keep an eye on her.

It seems to be fairly popular due to the many articles, news stories, and testimonies I found online during my first search.

Effects tend to vary from person to person.

It's da bomb, get it from a reputable retailer online. I only use it once a week, because of the tolerance. If I use it more than once a week it barely has any effect on me. It's been used for thousands of years in Indonesia. It is one of the most natural drugs, it is just a leaf ground up, no additives. It cannot be abused like other opiates, and you cannot overdose, you might get nauseous and throw up if you take too much but I have never had anything close to that experience. It is similar to the uplifting mood I get with coffee. Now what you get from a headshop may be different. The only side effects I have heard of, were from native man who chewed the leaf 24 seven, for 30+ years. They have darkened skin around her cheeks, and then later stages of their life their livers are weakend.

Kratom was made legal in Louisiana in 2012. For them to make it illegal just a few years later would be strange. Kratom was removed from Bill 174 this last week due to the inability to prove to the rest of the Senate that it is a narcotic.

The thing about Kratom is that it has its ceiling. You can't necessarily take more and get more of an effect. Many people say they can half their dose and end up with the same effects.
