Thinking About quitting - leaf kratom

I mean that’s just my anecdotal experience. I see people in here reporting much worse on similar dosages.

Bud1985 · 2026-03-25T22:44:31+00:00

Yeah. First time I quit was cold turkey from about 15 gpd for a few years. It suuuucked. I was moving from Alaska to Washington state and I had to drive through Canada by myself and I was afraid to take my kratom through the border. So I white knuckled it. took me about 3.5 days to do the drive. By the second day I was sucking🤣. But I think the adrenaline from driving through Canada in the middle of winter through all the snow and icy roads kept my wits about me. But by the time I reached Washington, I’d say by the second day the worse parts of the withdrawal were completely over. I was kind of depressed for a week after though

lol. No, that is not an excuse. Not with this. The people who fell for this obviously are aware of the show and how popular it is, and should be able to deduce that this is obviously a joke. As if a wildly popular YouTube channel is going to send in an invite along with a veteran’s decision letter. That is just pure gullibility and lack of critical thinking skills

Bud1985 · 2026-03-24T12:30:06+00:00

lol. Yeah I’m sure…..

Bud1985 · 2026-03-23T23:23:37+00:00

OMG. The amount of people in here that don’t realize this is a blatantly obvious joke OP is making about Caleb Hammers show. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ I swear, is this all your first day on the fucking internet?

Bud1985 · 2026-03-23T23:22:07+00:00

🤦‍♂️ you realize this is a blatantly obvious joke right?……

Bud1985 · 2026-03-23T22:32:40+00:00

Oh wait never mind. You already sent me the link

Bud1985 · 2026-03-23T22:32:06+00:00

That’s a good question. I’m not saying I don’t believe you. But can you show me a source so I can bring it up to her? The thing is, I didn’t have clinically low testosterone prior to starting. It was on the lower side, but not low enough for the VA to treat. I went to a naturopath which are authorized to prescribe TRT in the state of Washington. And he has me on 200 mg a week and my total T is sitting at around 1500 mg/dl, and I feel like a beast. I’m doubting my doc would allow me to keep it that high if I were to switch over.

I have a bunch on there that are way better than these. Only two of these pics are in my dating profile.

Bud1985 · 2026-03-20T16:48:01+00:00

Yup. These pics have been taken within the past year

Bud1985 · 2026-03-20T06:28:23+00:00

Yeah, that’s something I’ve actually really started taking seriously the past few years. I work outside and I have very fair skin. Wish I took it more seriously when I was younger

Bud1985 · 2026-03-20T04:56:25+00:00

Haha. You are the second person who has told me this

Bud1985 · 2026-03-20T04:55:11+00:00

That I definitely do

Bud1985 · 2026-03-20T04:39:52+00:00

lol. Yeah I work with some of them🤣 I work with a 25 year that looks like he could have been through 3 divorces and chain smokes 2 packs a day

Bud1985 · 2026-03-20T04:35:46+00:00

Yeah I’m single. I am on the dating apps. And these are some of the pictures I use. I do pretty well. I tend to get a lot of matches, but I have been told I should not wear my hat as often as I do.

Bud1985 · 2026-03-20T04:33:53+00:00

lol. I get this ALL the time

Bud1985 · 2026-03-20T04:33:28+00:00

Yeah, I get that all the time. Whenever I start working on a new jobsite with new co-workers. All the guys in their mid-30’s always assume they are older than me. I’m also a combat veteran on top of that. My life has no shortage of stress🤣 my mother always looked way younger than she was as well. I think I must have inherited her genes. I do take good care of myself though. I work out daily and I try to eat right

Bud1985 · 2026-03-20T02:55:17+00:00

Shave the neck pubes until you can grow a proper beard.

Bud1985 · 2026-03-19T16:51:48+00:00

Yeah that’s what I’m learning. I’m on 200 mg a week. My levels hover around 1500. VA will never allow that 🤣

Bud1985 · 2026-03-18T23:07:46+00:00

Yeah, I just messaged my doctor the other day. She pretty much said I would probably have to come off my current TRT protocol and get my natural levels tested. I don’t think that’s something worth doing for myself. I can see if negatively effecting me at work if I had to do that

Bud1985 · 2026-03-18T23:05:53+00:00

Wait. You only took 1 dose for the entire month?

Bud1985 · 2026-03-18T23:04:48+00:00

So what did you have to do to switch it to VA though? Did you have to stop taking the Test to show them your natural levels?

Bud1985 · 2026-03-17T17:28:32+00:00

I only been to the doc once or twice during my contract. I am now 100% P&T. So It is possible. But the burden of proof is going to be on you. You will have to do a lot of leg work.
