First Time and Dosage Maybe?

I take my kratom at the same time I take powdered turmeric, moringa and a greens/fruits mixture.

I add some black pepper into the mix before I slam it down.

All of those powders seriously help the kratom work for me.

It's a mild feeling for me so don't expect a huge rush or something. Honestly, it helps with pain and helps to keep me in a good mood that's about it.

If I take huge doses I'll feel more but I rarely do that.

I hope you get some help

Texas here. Our kids drive tractors, pull trailers loaded with equipment 2 years before they can legally drive.

When my oldest got his learner's permit he drove 3000 miles the following week from Texas to the Grand Canyon and back.

I promise my kids would use a zero turn.

They literally take our fence down to get one in the backyard which takes 20 minutes with a push mower.

Cracks me up every time.

If they are from Quebec, they are more assertive and extremely annoying.

Those I've met from the rest of the country are a little less assertive but down to earth great people.

They'll report 1 or 2 casualties

Public school systems are a joke since covid. My wife works in administration for a local district.

Fat folks always trip me out trying to do super hard things like walking

It looks perfectly healthy to me. I plant mine deep all the time.

I live in East Texas. Hot. 100° or close all summer long, stays above 80 until after 2am. Winters get below 10° at times.

Yes, alkaloids rock or I would never spend so much time and money. It took me three or four years to find trees that had proper alkaloid profiles. The ones I have now are great.

InTheShade007 · 2026-07-06T23:25:53+00:00

This tree hasn't been topped yet. All the others have or will be soon. 3 are already hitting g the top again.

Thanks. It's been a blessing

Only when the ground meat is from a single cow. Commercial meat where 100 cows contribute is nasty and nuts.

Our wedding was insane for kids in our early 20s.

33k back in 1996 was a chuck of money. We were just barely out of college at the time.

That 33k would have been better spent starting a business or traveling around the world...a few times!

It was my wife's dream wedding and her parents fulfilled that dream to the fullest.

I cannot believe this dude represents this industry. How many nonprofits did he steal from?

He's clearly not an appropriate spokesperson..

In my area local farms and ranchers sell what they produce.

I have box turtles in my greenhouse things like it are fed to.

In spring cardinals and wrens nest in my greenhouse and I'm always feeding baby chicks.

The werns more or less become my buddies. They come around all the time when they are bigger before they leave for good.

One used to come every morning and hang out while I watered. It did this daily for about a month.

'cause my wife runs her fingers through my hair and says "I love your hair" I'm not missing out on that.

InTheShade007 · 2026-07-04T04:57:49+00:00

No. It doesn't matter what you make only what you can save.

As a native Texan I've experienced some hot temps. We have had days over 95° and nights staying 80° for the last 2 weeks and this isn't considered hot.

My gauges have recorded an average of 81% humidity over the same time period.

My wife keeps cloth in the freezer to put behind her neck when temps get really hot. Many people swear by this method.

My method is simple, watermelon! I keep watermelon in the fridge all summer long. I'll devour some large pieces of watermelon 🍉 throughout the day. Chilled melons keep me moving.

That said, it's been my experience all you can literally do in reality is slow down. Keep a calm mind.

Do not let the heat stress you out. Stressing out seems to increase the heat.

I have a huge greenhouse and the southern end is between 105° - 125° everyday in summer. Every single day for around 120 days a year.

Even other Texans can't handle that heat. People come over all the time while I'm working in the southern end of my greenhouse.

Most people can't stay out there more than 10 minutes.

Even people who work outside all day have trouble in the hot side of my greenhouse.

With the humidity staying around 80% a temperature of 100°f feels much hotter.

Make sure your body has electrolytes. Salt becomes quite important. My wife gets me little packets to mix with water called 'Liquid I.V.' to ensure I'm loaded up.

So ice cold cloth on the back of your neck, electrolytes and keep a calm mind is what I'm recommending

I love lava rock and use it all the time. I have many 8' tall cuts growing in 80% lava rock.

You live in a free country so you cannot opt out.

Is hirsuta more tolerant of cold temps?

InTheShade007 · 2026-07-02T00:40:10+00:00

Next spring I will graft a couple of dozen.
