Kratom

Strom.. I have some Red Kalimantan I've read is one of the best for pain.  I haven't tried it yet, but will tomorrow. I've been using red maengda. I found the easiest way to get it down for me is to mix powder with water (I take about 4-5 g) I mix it with 1/2 cup water then microwave it for about 30 seconds. The little bit of heat helps to dissolve it better. Just chug it down quick then rinse with clear water. The taste goes away pretty fast.
Taste? You can probably find things under a lawn mower that tastes better, but that's life. I don't buy for the taste. I have a major pinched nerve in my neck I might need surgery to fix.. We'll see, but in the meantime I'm doing what I can to deal with the pain.

The kalimantin is the stuff. I tried it last night and fell into a absolutely painless slumber and tried it again this morning and the same. If you want to knock out pain the kalimantin is the way to go.  Just ordered a half kilo for $75.19 shipping included.  At the headshop down the street this would cost at least $500 and not anywhere near as good. The red maeng da gives me the shakes a bit, but the red kalimantin doesn't have that problem for me.
By the way,  if anyone else decides to buy from Kratom Paradise mention the name of Sylvia Cope so that we can get a referral credit.. You know you want to.

The Red Maeng Da I got results from, the Red Bali not much. I'll try the Kalimantin. I will mention Sylvia.

Sylvia will be more than pleased.. Thanks! 
I do find that I shake some, but not as much. I tend to lose some fine motor control, but it's little stuff that I shouldn't be doing anyway when I'm in pain such as using a razor sharp chisel to try to cut a motise..

Strom, try nuking some in water for about 30 seconds , stir good and down it all at once. You'll feel it within about 10-15 minutes.. That is if you can get past the taste of swallowing something from under the lawn mower..

Some interesting things written by various people about their kratom experiences. It seems that taking to much at once will bring on nausea (big shocker) and you will develop a tolerance if taken too often.  They discourage using gel caps because apparently it compacts the kratom too much so that you won't digest it properly and just crap out the caps with globs of undigested kratom.
One of the more popular methods seems to be nuking it in either water or ethanol to use as an extract and most make a tea from it, but I just use about 4g with 1/2 cup of water,  nuke it for about 20 seconds till it just begins to boil. I add a little cold water so not to burn my mouth and chug it down quickly and rinse with clear water to kill the little after taste.
I would warn against taking too much at once unless you don't mind the nausea although I very seldom get nauseous, but do occasionally get minor cramps simply because kratom is plant matter and can make you pretty gassy depending on what's in your stomach before hand.
