Kratom Stater Pack

Kratom is an herbal substance that’s believed to produce stimulant- and opioid-like effects, depending on how much you consume. The kratom you might find in stores is usually sold as a supplement that may claim to boost energy, improve your mood, and relieve pain.

The effects of kratom can depend on the dose, the strain, and the user. Kratom is used to:

·   Increase physical energy

·   Boost alertness

·   Boost mood

·   Enhance socialization

·   Relieve pain

·   Induce relaxation

·   Induce euphoria

·   Enhance sex drive

·   Increase appetite

·   Treat diarrhea (as kratom may induce constipation)

·   Treat opioid withdrawal symptoms

·   Replace alcohol in social scenarios

·   Create a topical poultice for wound-healing

·   Treat mood and psychological disorders

Kratom can take effect within five to ten minutes after ingestion. Effects can be expected to last for five to seven hours, with the effects peaking at about two to four hours. However, mild effects may last even into the next day.

The two most potent alkaloids in kratom have half-lives of 2.5-3.5 hours. That means that it takes about three hours for the concentration of the alkaloid in the body to be reduced by one-half. The active compounds are eliminated through the urine.

Consuming kratom with food may delay the onset of the effects. There are also other ways to enhance extraction of the bioactive alkaloids, or enhance absorption of alkaloids in the small intestine. That is why different modes of consumption (for example, kratom capsules, tablets, or teas) can change the way you experience kratom.

There are multiple ways to use kratom powder, but the two most-used are to add the powder into a drink or the "toss and wash" method.

Make a Drink

1. Prepare your kratom dose in a tea strainer or coffee filter
2. Boil a small pot of water. Any amount that you want for your drink is fine. The less water you use, the more the kratom flavor may be prevalent.
3. Once it begins to boil, take it off the burner and let it sit for a couple minutes. Very hot temperatures can deplete the alkaloids.
4. Slowly pour the hot water over the tea strainer or coffee filter that contains your proper serving of kratom.
5. Add any sweetener or other flavoring to your final product. 
6. Enjoy your customized kratom drink!

​

The “Toss and Wash” Method

1. Prepare your dose of kratom powder.
2. Take a small sip and hold in your mouth of whatever beverage or liquid you desire.
3. Pour your dose of kratom powder into your mouth, while still holding the liquid in your mouth.
4. Quickly swish everything around in your mouth, mixing the powder and liquid together.
5. Swallow.

​

*Please never put any dry powder in your mouth without liquid. This can be unpleasant and dangerous.

While at lower doses kratom is often considered a relatively innocuous stimulant like coffee, at higher doses it can have much more powerful effects. In fact, kratom interacts with opioid receptors in the brain to produce potent analgesic and sedative, and even euphoric effects.

Finding the proper dosage for your body is incredibly important. If you are new to kratom usage, best practice is to start with a low dosage and slowly build up until you find what works best for you.

General serving sizes are as follows;

​

Small: 1-5 grams, effective for approx. 3-4 hours

Moderate: 5-15 grams, effective for approx. 4-6 hours

Heavy: 15+ grams, effective for approx. 6-8 hours, or sometimes longer

Finding your proper dosage can be a pain. For help figuring it out, you can make your own journal.
