With Kratom, Quality Is Everything
How a vendor markets their kratom is a good indication of the level of confidence they have in their own product. If a vendor emphasizes low price, you can be assured you’re buying a low quality product. If a vendor markets kratom as a “legal high”, they’re demonstrating a fundamental misunderstanding of how kratom works, not to mention a disrespect for the plant. It would be no surprise if a vendor marketing kratom as an “opium alternative” would be caught selling unnatural adulterated kratom.
Packaging is also an indicator. You don’t buy quality kratom in ziplock bags. I don’t know about you, but neon-colored trucker-speed style packaging doesn’t scream “quality” to me. Some large wine manufacturers sell everything from high end pinot noir to “bum wine” – and it’s reflected in their choice of labeling. Some people like cheap wine, but there’s no room for cheap kratom. A kratom vendor who has respect in their product will reflect that in their packaging.
Kratom Science Tip: Various kratom products have started appearing in head shops across the United States. They either come in a bag of powdered leaf, or more commonly in a package of capsules. The capsules are sometimes just powdered leaf, in which case they may barely be enough for a small dose and likely cost upwards of $20.
When they do contain extract, often it’s a weak extract requiring in some cases every capsule to be consumed to get any effects.

Kratom Capsules and Tablets | Best Value Powdered Leaf Kratom
For some, kratom powder is a hard pill to swallow. Luckily there’s a great source for high quality kratom capsules and tablets. Tested for contaminants, heavy metals, and alkaloid content, Nectar Leaf offers great pricing on consistently high quality kratom in capsule, tablet and powdered leaf form. Look for great pricing and the best bang for your buck on high quality Bali and Red Vein leaf.
You’ll also find a large variety of extracts from the speedy ISOL-8 to the famous Gold Reserve capsules. While extracts are available in easy to use 00 capsule form, they offer some of the more popular ground leaf such as Bali, Maeng Da, and Red Vein Kali capsules in both 00 and 000 capsules.
Nectar Leaf also offers kratom shipping to Mexico and Canada. Kratom in Mexico has slowly been increasing in popularity over the last few years. Fortunately, Kratom and any of its active elements, Mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine, have not been added to any list of controlled substances in Mexico. This means that kratom is completely legal for you to carry and use in Mexico and Nectar Leaf is one of the largest suppliers of kratom to Mexico!
Highest Quality Ground Leaf Kratom
Experience counts. Anyone posting about kratom online will surely be inundated with offers from Indonesian suppliers – none of whom are vetted for quality or safety. Unlike many “pop up” vendors, Get Kratom has been in business since 2007 and is well established. They have high quality kratom at affordable prices, and reliably ship same day. Their customer service and support is also top notch and the staff are very familiar with the products they carry.
As the kratom industry grows, big business kratom vendors want to sell massive amounts of kratom. In any industry, a large economy of scale sacrifices quality. Think Olive Garden vs. an independent family owned Italian restaurant. Think Budweiser vs. craft beer. Small, experienced vendors who buy kratom by the box instead of the truckload can assure that each package contains the best quality product, and quality isn’t sacrificed on the assembly line for maximized profits. Get Kratom is a small Pittsburgh business with over a decade of experience in the kratom world.
Shipping speed is also a factor if you don’t want your kratom sitting in a hot delivery truck for weeks on end. All kratom powder from Get Kratom is tested to ensure naturally occurring alkaloid content, free from contaminants, adulterants, or heavy metals common in lower quality kratom. They also go the extra mile to pack their product in vacuum sealed, moisture-barrier bags that ensure freshness.
It is important to do your research and learn about how to approach kratom responsibly. Vendors are often unable to answer questions about particular strains so we encourage you to seek advice from others on forums such as this one. There is a growing field of research available on the effects of kratom.
It’s also the case that the head shop employees know little of kratom, marketing it as a sexual enhancement pill (which it’s actually pretty poor at).
Online vendors, on the other hand, are forced to compete more on quality, especially with the wide range of forums critiquing the quality from various vendors. They have a reputation to maintain, and are forced to compete with all the other online vendors, whereas headshops often have little local competition.
The only downside to online vendors is that they must sell kratom as “not for human consumption” due to it not being approved by the FDA and on their Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) list.
Headshop employees have the luxury of being able to just tell a customer about how to consume it, but online stores tend to be weary of this risk. This in no way means that kratom is unsafe, but it often confuses customers.

I’m brand new to kratom. Highly recommended from some trusted friends. I wasn’t really sure what is going to work for me so I ordered an oz of Maeng da, 2oz red vein Kali and 2 oz Bali from Get Kratom, overnight shipped. I’m trying really hard to get off norco 10’s. I’m in profound pain hence the pain pills which I have been having to buy on the street since my dr took me off them in 2018 and which the price has sky rocketed since the drought of the pandemic. I can’t afford to live on pills any more and need a sustainable alternative. Anyone hear me? I’m glad I found this website. I have to admit I feel a little overwhelmed but have hope for the first time in a long time. I am in a depression though, and I am afraid I will slip away from my kids. They are 9 and 12. My husband is so supportive but I would love to get feedback from kratom users who can relate or substantiate that kratom might help me get away from norco. I still have norco but not many and it has been so unpredictable as to when I’m able to get more. The pandemic has effected literally everything in everyone’s lives and this is how it’s most deeply effected me. It to sound selfish. I am very lucky I can breathe. Any words of encouragement?
How soon can I take Keaton after using opiates??? It’s the middle of the day and I have already take 60mg of Percocet. I really don’t want to get any more pills. Do I wait till withdrawals start? I have about 6 grams of choice maeng da powder weighed out. Not sure how or when to start.
Yes!! I’ve used it several times!!
Dear M. I’m so glad you found this help for your withdraw. You have found it girl!! This is THE cure, as I’m sure by now you have seen. I am hoping to hear a reply, for I love a success story, and if you have any questions, I’d be glad to help. You might benefit from a great site that I use for these type of questions, Reddit, you can get it on Google play, and it’s basically a forum, and it’s packed with kratom pages, testimonials, forums, posts, questions and answers, you’ll get responses quickly,I assure you. Ok, I hope you got the green vein. I use Bali or maeng da, the red has very sedating qualities, while the white is super speedy, but the green is a nice mix of both. And if you got capsules, can I make the suggestion that you order powder form, it’s much better quality. You should be taking 2-3 grams per dose, and it has a ceiling effect. Meaning if you take much, it’s all you need until it wears off, you don’t get higher by using more…. Ok, I take mine like a bc powder, but I put a carbonated beverage in my mouth, hold it, drop some powder in on top, and follow it with more coke zero… Lean back while putting it all in, and lean forward, while you’re swallowing, You can take it, even if you have the opiates in your system at the Time, it will break thru and bond to your receptors. I hope you’re well on your way to happiness already;) God bless you
Please help me. I’m getting close to wanting to die. Too much pain from arthritis. I’ve been on narcotics 15 yrs. Not working anymore. Can’t take more doses. I need alternative.
What do i start with?
How do I use it?
Where do I get it?
Thank you!!!

Hey girl I’m in the same boat. Just found out about kratom. I’m going to try it, will let you know how it works for me. Read the other comments for some good info. Good luck and God bless

Start by buying from a trusted vendor that tests their products . Buy a few samples of red types . Keep a good amount on hand , you don’t want to run out while transitioning off of opiates. Many people have had great success with Kratom. Start with 3gm, and add more or take less until you find your “sweet spot “. Since kratom hits the same receptor sites as opiates ( to a much lesser degree ) tapering off your meds is a good way to go ,,, when your 2-3 days off meds or at a very low amount, that’s prime time for taking kratom. Some folks will substitute a dose of pain meds for a dose of kratom while tapering . As time goes on , you’ll experience more of the full spectrum of benefits this herb can provide . Best !
Hi, M I might be able to help you out as I’ve been dealing with the almost exact same situation.
How does kratom affect the brain? Please share your thoughts on this. Thanks
Hi where can I buy this and more information about it
Forgot to ask, what is the best state for chronic pain patients? Anybody know? I’m from VA and now live in NC, both places suck for that, especially if you have to be RX’d a lot ( in their eyes ) of powerful ( in their eyes, oxy just isn’t the heavy painkiller they make it to be ) opioids as well as Xanax. I need to move to a better state. I don’t want to leave America, but I swear they want to drive me back to heroin and I can’t do that, especially with my career. Imagine a Mortician with track marks nodding while embalming a body or directing a funeral. This country has gone nuts. Before the Harrison Drug Act of 1907 ( which simply made heroin and morphine prescription drugs ), you could walk into any drug store, general store, etc……. and buy all the heroin and morphine you want, as much as you want, and whenever you want, and people weren’t overdosing left and right then. America has gone crazy, when are people going to realize this opioid “crisis” is fake and take a stand?
Green vein,Maeng Da, or,Bali
For God’s sake & your own don’t Think of moving to California! When Trump slammed the door 4 years ago, legacy chronic pain patients (20+years), got our tails’ slammed in the door and cut cold, It’s dry as a bone out here, but I’m an old lady with no help or connections and I’m completely disabled so I don’t get out much! Seems to me that they’ve created a market where the only option is to have a bundle of bitcoin and get on the dark web to get any kind of relief.
Can you take kratom while opiates still in your system?
With the horrid ways the govt. is treating chronic pain patients, I sometimes feel I was better on heroin ( not really, I don’t want to go back to jabbing needles in myself and looking over my shoulders for the Narc squad, I’m just saying us chronic pain patients are treated awfully by the govt. Some teenager that hasn’t done opioids in his life goes to a party, gets drunk, eats a handful of Percocet 10’s and Valium and dies. I don’t even know that A-hole, why should I pay for some idiot’s mistake?). Make no mistake, the govt. wants you on heroin, methadone, or in jail. They profit each way. Screw this, I’m moving to Portugal, where everything, heroin included, is decriminalized. They probably don’t scare pain Doctors there
LET ME HEAR AN AMEN!!! I’M RIGHT THERE WITH YOU!!
I live in Louisville KY 😣 where can I purchase this product
Here’s a great reliable vendor

Hi friend,
What is the strongest Kratom powder in terms of
stimulation, euphoria and pain relief ?
Thanks for your help !
I would say a good Red Vein Thai or supereme or royal Indo.
It’s not stimulation. It is motivation. Your heart rate will not increase when you take kratom
need price list
The worst state I’ve lived in is Indiana. I’m there now. Been here for almost a year. For Twenty years I lived in Florida and was treated by a very reputable pain management gruop. The opiate laws. Started getting ridiculous bout 2010. People couldn’t fill their prescriptions, doctors were frustrated. When I moved up here my husband and I had no clue how poor healthcare is here. Or the DEA s ruling up here. I had to also go through valium withdrawal after 30 years of use. No one ,not even a hospital would offer helping me with the dangers of withdrawal. It was sheer hell for 6 weeks ,I thought I wasn’t going to live thru it. Finally as I was able to see a family Dr. He saw what a mess I was. He ordered a low dose of clonzepam,which I take daily . I was just turning 61and I thought my heart was gonna give out. Tis medical community wouldn’t have cared. DON’T MOVE (ESPECIALLY HERE) or anywhere Without CHECKING THE DRUG STATUS. NOW We are dealing with kratom being banned in this godforsaken xx idiotic state. I live in a college town that’s very different from any other place in this state. BLOOMINGTON. I’M LIVID WITH IT ALL.
Hi also take clonazepam if you take clonazepam and Kratom at the same time. The Kratom will not work. If you do not get anything done around the house it is because you’re taking the clonazepam it’s extremely addictive I take it also but only when I have a panic attack or I can’t slow my brain down I need to take it to sleep.
@MichaelSmith
Hello! I saw your post and I just wanted to ask you a couple of questions. I am planning to start taking Kratom soon. I have been on high dose of pain meds for several years and I’m just over the whole “game”. Anyway , I am prescribed Klonopin as well but, like you , I literally only take when necessary… for anxiety . It’s also a low dose 0.5 mg. So, in your post , you state that Kratom will not work in conjunction with Klonopin …. is this due to a physical factor as in how it is chemically processed or do you just feel that it would somewhat “cancel “ out the effects of the Kratom ? If you can elaborate on this, I would appreciate it. Thank you for Any Info you can provide me . Feel free to email me as well. Thanks !!
what are you talking about? Been on clonazepam for 15 yrs and have used kratom on/off entire time, stop spreading BS “it won’t work” Maybe understand the drug you’re addicted to before talking about it to others???
Clonazepam is a benzo which acts as anti anxiety, this also produces a downer effect and is similar to drinking alcohol. making other drugs/medications you take less “powerful”, it’s still working, trust me. This is EXACTLY WHY kratom deaths are reported a lot because people like you mix 2 downers, think they don’t work, keep doing more, and OD…
Anyways…no matter what you take/do while on clonazepam it will act the same way. It potentiates the effects of the clonazepam at lower doses, which is why you seem to feel nothing (similar to being drunk and not realizing how drunk) which is also why benzos/alcohol are interchangeable and have similar pharmacology makeup.
So if you want to take kratom and feel the FULL effects while on a benzo, it’s simple. You just increase your ONE TIME dose amount, dont keep redosing. Just will need a higher amount than normal people is all, there is NO way to “block” a kratom high. even opiate blockers can be broken through as well, just all about dosing.
I’m not so sure of your statement on not being able to block a Kratom High?(ER)I believe persons initials who made statement replying to.
Like I said in prev.post yesterday Jan4th 2020 I took large amount of White and Red each from different vendors thinking maybe it was their product?But take Adderral and KLONOPIN both for years (severe ADD)and I tried this Kratom as a trial for daughter who is debating trying Kratom for withdrawal but afraid won’t work.Now I’m having doubts but then have read EVERYONES POSITIVE STORIES.But I felt NOT ONE THING!!!!
good or bad just no effects!!Started with probably 6g.and 15 minutes later added 6-8 more grams.Felt NOTHING maybe little nausea but afraid to keep increasing.
Can ANYONE explain WHY I felt nothing?EUPHORIA,ENERGY,TIREDNESS,SICK just something???and actually this was 2nd time I tried with different Red and White from different headshop with NO OUTCOME?
I still want to try for my daughter,will do anything if chance to get her off drugs and she doesn’t take any other scripts.I live in OKC area legal still in OKLA.but want a Co.if anyone knows of reputable Co.to buy from or online Co.but want to know it has VG REPUTATION?
Thanks and f anyond can explain why It had NO effect with me?????
I don’t know what person in post 2 down but I take ADDERRAL and KLONOPIN took KRATOM to see how it felt my daughter getting ready to try it to detox off Heroin but scared it won’t work.
I didn’t tell her but took a lot of white then red felt ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!! Now I’m wondering I had high hopes for her? But now unsure I didn’t tell her but hoping it was those meds???
I took probably 12 grams at least felt NOTHING!!If someone can explain please do.
I’m so sorry. Why did you move there It sounds horrible.
If there going to get rid of Kratom. I say you better move or stock up or if you have a friend they can get it for you or you can get it online. I’ll give you my email address and if you are in need of some I’ll be more then happy to get you some. Hang in there and let me know what happens take care
Sincerely a Friend

To much water,to much vitamins, to much of anything can and will kill you. I watched documentaries on a man that so much water it killed him of water intoxication. Same thing with a woman took to many vitamins every morning she died from over toxification . so I support kratom 100%!!!!!!!!… If it was not for kratom I would had never gotten clean from heroin and methadone!!!. So here is my pledge to keep kratom legal. I tried everything the doctors gave to no avail what so ever!.. Kratom blows pharmaceutical medication away!.. Yes on kratom . thank you.
Can I purchase it in Wisconsin
No because wisconsin made Kratom a Schedule 1 substance within their state.
Which is very dumb considering its a harmless plant that can’t kill anyone and it’s not addictive like anything on the schedule list.
For a substance to be added to the CSA Controlled Substance Act of Scheduled Substances list it must be similar to the substances on the list, have no medical use whatsoever, have a very high potential for abuse.
to be a schedule I substance like they made it there:
and it meets none of those requirements.
In fact a DR. and 1471 Doctors, Scientists, and Chemists did several 8 panel tests and studies showing it’s not dangerous, not addictive like a controlled substance should be. and that it doesn’t meet the requirements of CSA requirements!
Look here for more information:

Look at Petitions and sign all 3.

I am about to detox off of methadone on my own using kratom for getting through the worst of the withdrawals can you tell me where you got your kratom and what strain? Dosage etc?
yes anything has a LD/50
but Kratom does not cause respiratory depression so it’s not possible for anyone to die from the Plant alone.
if you take 7-hydroxymitragynine and extract that alkaloid and refine it further otherwise synthesizing it then you can kill someone with it. if anyone even got close to 1/100th of the LD50(lethal Dose at 50%) for Kratom in its Regular plant powder/leaf form, then they would Vomit all of it out before dying.
6 capsules is 5 grams 1 tablespoon. If you take too much kratom you will either throw it up or go to sleep.
No one has ever died from taking LSD they have only died when they’ve done stupid things while they were taking LSD LSD was originally designed for depressions by psychiatrist. Small doses eliminate depression.
The canola oil in all the fast food restaurants you eat at is highly toxic. The FDA approved it in the 1980s I think it was 88. It’s made from the plant called rapeseed Farmers like to grow it. Because it’s pest-resistant. Insects thanks it’s poisonous. The FDA thanks it’s okay for us all to die slowly. Another FDA-approved item for consumption is ethyl glycol. It is the number one ingredient in antifreeze. All alcoholic beverages with sweeteners in it are using antifreeze as a sweetener. The FDA does not care that we’re dying as long as they’re collecting a prophet. You can find all this information out for yourself on the internet use a couple different search engines you will find many things. Another thing about the canola oil I’m sure you probably heard of mad cow disease about 20 years ago. They discovered it wasn’t a disease it was the canola oil in their feed this is a fact. If you eat at a fast food restaurant you were killing yourself I’m not exaggerating
you are crazy! stop giving wrong information! what is wrong with you?
Michael you don’t know what you are talking about and for sure don’t know how to spell. The FDA wants to earn a PROFIT, not a PROPHET!!!!!!
Right on Jeremy! I’m proud of you brother, for kickin’ the heroin. Thank you for your inspirational comment.
I, too, am coming off of years of the headache meds (Fioricet) and muscle relaxants. Most Red Vein I’ve taken has been 6 capsules. How much did you take to get off of H?
10gs
Thank you for your positive feedback! I have been on opiates, methadone etc. currently prescribed suboxone which haven’t took in over a month because been using heroin in low doses! A friend told me Green Malay Kratom worked for her, but I also have liver failure and trying to get on transplant list and what I’m doing now, will surely put a stop to that! I have suffered horrible vomiting and muscle cramping in the past! My body doesn’t absorb vitamins normal or eliminate toxins properly without meds! Can anyone please help me with what Kratom will work for me with withdrawal and if it will hurt my liver further! Thank you for your help!
I am SO confused! I’m a 61 year old female on SSDI as of March 2017. I have spent the last four years in a war on chronic pain due to lumbar spinal stenosis. I started weaning off the opiates about a month before the Feds mandated that all opiates were being stopped, even for chronic pain patients. I’ve been waiting for medicinal cannabis but also have onset of COPD and my state won’t be offering edibles, conundrum for mornings especially. A couple of months ago I ran into a FB fellow who swore he had 100% pure Kratom, sold me Buy 2 Get 1 Free Maeng-da strain ozs…at $150 total. I don’t know why I thought it was a deal, I’m finding I should have done my homework first because even afterward and because he was in a bind, I sent him $300 and got 9 ozs. I’m seeing that was STILL a rip-off! He says to use 2 tbsp/dose. It is sickening sludge! So I bought the largest gel caps and take 16 for a dose, they last 3 1/2-4 hours. In only two weeks, I’ll be off all opiates, the Kratom has helped immensely but my concern is that I cannot intake 16 capsules and 2 20-oz. bottles of water first thing in the morning, when I’m in my worst pain. Can you PLEASE advise the best strain for chronic pain, the easiest method of intake (for a.m. especially) and which product you have that will help my chronic pain? I’m on SSDI, I’ve wasted enough $, this will be my main path forward and I need reliable assistance and true honesty, good product, fair prices..HELP please?
Check out Reddit.com for LOTS of info https://www.reddit.com/r/kratom/
you need to find online vendors that sell gummys or edibles of c02 extracts. basically you eathier take a chewable tablet that is one dose or gummys which one gummy would be anywhere from 10-20 grams in one single gummy of red vein.
red veins specifically bali or borneo which is indonesian region of southeast asia are the best opiate like strains for pain and withdrawals i also hear Mengda is great for pain as well. and greens for energy.
Oh I forgot to mention that if you have lung problems try the superheated air or steaming way of getting your thc. I do not smoke but it sure seems like a clean way to get it inside your lungs. No smoke just steam. zunich
For pain use pretty much any red. I use the Red Bali and have great success.
By the way, I’m starting with Maeng Da for morning and afternoon and Red Bali for night time.
What I do i put a teaspoon inside a coffee cup. While my Keurig Kcup is brewing I stir it when finished than I pour creamer. Let me tell you that teaspoon with hot water Intensifies The kratom effect. The white Maeng Da is great for am and Red Bali at night. Hope this helps.
