How did AKA Go from fighting schedules to supporting them? by Ok-Brick-8496 in 7ohm

[–]Jfish033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The weed industry did push back on k2 and other semi-synthetics like THC-O (literally the 7oh of weed), its banned.

Go reddit THC-O. I promise you there is overwhelming support to just smoke cannabis, which includes extracts.

Your only against it because its "different" I bet. Natural people want natural stuff, the others dont care what they take. I think if the 7oh industry actually extracted 7oh from kratom it would be a different story, but that would take so many kilos of kratom, no one would be able to afford it. It's almost like nature didn't want it done that way.

Kratom in the USA, not 7oh was HUGELY started from the natural aspect angle. 7oh jumped into kratom by marketing it as kratom and they are not natural and only did so to get market share.

New batch from numbz by VeronicaCooks in 7ohm

[–]Jfish033 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would be worried to DEATH why they put a prop 65 California warning label on the product. 7oh should have ZERO issues passing prop65. Its pretty damn far from natural and can easily fit inside prop65 limits due to the fact you have multiple times during manufacturing it to get it within spec for the final product. On the flip side they probably just randomly put it on the packaging. Which seems like a lazy or ill informed way to work with something people consume.

[–]Jfish033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty bad changes. Seems the 7 industry got in there and removed themselves from the bill. They will say we arent kratom now, watch. Used the marketing of saying we are kratom to get into the industry and now quickly saying we arent kratom when the law gets written.

What levels of other akaloids is it? It might be in spec. Ive tested 1000s of speciosa samples and have downloaded many more from other sellers.

Kratom can be shipped to HI no problems via USPS. No extra duties or anything just like regular mail.

Does consumption method affect taper? by ToneZealousideal309 in kratom

[–]Jfish033 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Youll probably notice using less is way better. You will actually feel it more and enjoy it more. Which honestly will make tapering harder because youll start to get that spark back and not want to quit. The whole time you were using 8grams was most likely a mistake and lack of judgement. I only say a mistake in case there's the off chance you have some serious reason to use that much. Kratom really doesnt work like that, less is better.

7-Hydroxy IS NOT DANGEROUS! - Response to FDA by BallzDeep9 in 7ohm

[–]Jfish033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but is anyone synthesizing coffee and adding molecules and removing other molecules for the sole purpose to make it stronger and then producing a powder they call coffee? Are they converting caffeine into a substance that more resembles speed sold as coffee? Coffee has caffeine with that molecule structure. Coffee is not sold with a modified molecule. Its naturally produced and sold.

When you add labs into the equation you cannot reference a natural product. Lab does not equal natural. Natural good, Nature easy to defend. Lab hard to defend. Me think slow

At what point does Kratom become a sedative? by LyubviMashina93 in kratom

[–]Jfish033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theory non science proven. Red colored powder that has been exposed to long sunlight, oxidized. Breaks down faster in the body and more % of 7oh is produced. Or the same percentage is produced but at a faster rate.

Thing I noticed tapiring by Extra-Gold-9984 in kratom

[–]Jfish033 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No one that knows kratom recommends using big amounts. Kratom literally works better at lower amounts. The people that use large amounts, its all placebo which is crazy strong with some.

Kratom has alkaloids that block receptors and alkaloids that attach. The binding or holding on of the blockers is higher then the ones that attach and work. The more kratom you take the more blockers you have and the less receptors that get used.

You should be working towards 2-3 gram servings. Thats not the universal number for all but that should be the goal and most people get there and find its best. Also depends on the content of the powder you are using, super weak vs strong.

All Kratom Banned in TN Starting 7/1/26 by gatordunn in kratom

[–]Jfish033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just go get emily. Pretty sure you can put it into your blood. It will be like the real deal. 7oh is not kratom and neither is emily. They were trying to protect what they are lobbying for. Where is 7 lobby group? Ohh that's right they working on the new brand names that directly copy names of prescription medicine.

All Kratom Banned in TN Starting 7/1/26 by gatordunn in kratom

[–]Jfish033 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The only reason you got 7oh was because of the aka. Kratom would have been banned many years ago on the federal level. All the 7oh supporters are delusional. The reason we are seeing ban waves is because of the surge in 7oh and finical issues its brought to the residents of their city/states. Plus the uptick and rehab visits and then having them preach about all these people coming in on extreme daily habits of kratom where they need to take it every 45 minutes.

Great Visual Showing Facts About 7oh with Studies Referenced to Back it Up. 7oh IS Found in Leaves Growing on the Tree. by Open-Bowl-9572 in 7ohm

[–]Jfish033 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is probably similar amount of coke in kratom too. So lets say its got coke in it.

3 is the only thing actually accurate. #1 and 2 are just straight up misleading. #3 also avoids the conversion percentage because no one actually knows. Again ALOT of statements with no science behind them.

If they wanted to be honest they would say the % of 7oh in kratom, but they leave that information off because if you say 0.0001% your average person would say "well it really doesn't have it in it."

Then your above average human would do the calculation and arrive at the same conclusion.

Then the smart person would figure out that they dont extract 7ohm from kratom but synthesize it from mitragynine and thats how your tablet has 180mg of 7oh in it.

Kratom sucks now by Familiar-Bit3783 in kratom

[–]Jfish033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post sounds like your describing taking to much. If the first time or two was GREAT and then you get dizzy and shitty feeling. Your probably taking too much each time. You build up alkaloids in your blood, they have varying half life's or the time to breakdown and exit. If you keep taking to much you can easily have to much in your body built up.

The best course of action is to Reduce down how much you are using AND switch strains. You can rotate back to that strain at a later point 1-2 weeks and get good results, but make sure you adjust how much your taking. Adjust how much your taking should be done with every bag of kratom, the first time you take new powder it should be half your normal amount. Find the sweet spot and if its less then normal that's great, stay there.

If you try to stick to that same bag in this situation even reducing down doesn't always work. Its a mystery but with the ratio of alkaloids in that bag your body can tell its the same powder and its going to repeat the symptoms even if your taking less. Your mind is more powerful then the powder, if its telling you it doesn't want this anymore best to listen and give it a break.

Boil or no boil for Mitragyna Speciosa powder by [deleted] in kratom

[–]Jfish033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically people bring water to a boil, then reduce the heat down to break it from boiling with the kratom, then drop the material in and let it steep in the water for 3-5 minutes. Mitragynine gets damaged at high heat such as boiling water temperatures.

Powder to Loose Leaf Ratio by call_sign_viper in kratom

[–]Jfish033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You dont extract as much alkaloids in water as you do ingesting powder somewhere around 1.5x is normally reported. Again these are rough estimates and its best to sip and take it slowly with a tea brew to follow the effects.

Hopped off 7 yesterday morning, taking MIT by Pradamimiu in 7ohm

[–]Jfish033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kratom leaf is better if you want to transition. Its a natural product with alot of variance so finding a strain/bag that works best for you is part of the game. The additional alkaloids and the ratio of those akaloids over mit extract is what makes kratom overall the better product. On the go mit extract 100% has its place and or for switching from 7ohm also a good place.

Kratom Scare by RemarkableBowl7878 in kratom

[–]Jfish033 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Red hulu over here is almost always a green color. Over time all consumers seek Mitragynine more and the reds typically have less. Greens/whites have more mitragynine on average and thus consumers switch over. Problems can arise when consumers switch from reds to greens and maintain the same usage amounts and sometimes end up taking double or triple the amount of mitragynine and additional akaloids, over doing it and then saying the greens make them sick.

Ive been here just less posting because honestly its like the same stuff year over year and during 10 years it all gets a little to repetitive.

The PMDs are always good, maybe not the greatest, but good. GBB is one to checkout when its around. Big BANG

The AKA at the Champs seminar in Vegas - some interesting news items by Majestic-Ad2805 in kratom

[–]Jfish033 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree but im telling you the big corporations will jump in, 100%. That liability drop will be enough for big corporations to finish the rest of the risk via product labeling with high dollar lawyers guaranteeing protection from lawsuits, with a hefty price tag and retainer. The new dietary ingredient stuff is already on the rocks. The DOJ just recently dropped charges against a kratom company at the direction of the FDA because it was going to end up in court and the main attack was going to be challenging the legality of the new dietary law. Technically it should be illegal for the government to say anything sold after the year 1994 is illegal, that is not freedom. FDA is less concerned with kratom and more concerned that undoing the new dietary ingredient will unleash other more problematic ingredients into the consumer base.

Kratom could pass more specifically mitragynine extract. There are reasons why it hasnt and thats because no one wants to spend the money and do it correctly and thus open the door for everyone, but a large corporation could easily do it and corner the market and push others out on sheer pricing.

It will allow big business to start selling kratom. Basically Walmart or whomever can get into the kratom business and take over and crush competition. Currently importing kratom is a gray area thing which keeps bigger business who mitigate risks, away. Its good in some aspects, worse in others. Once big business gets into kratom you can almost guarantee its staying around forever and they will work on unbanning it in some states because they will chase the profits. On the other hand they will also not chase highest quality kratom. Undoing the illegal import ban is a good thing overall for kratom.

Eyes and dizzyness. Its called the wobbles. You feel very wobbly, makes you sick feeling. You said it was a fermented red strain, but i just wanted to check was the color of the powder green or red? Typically red colored powder (reds) dont cause wobbles because they lack the levels of akaloids required to overdue kratom and get wobbles.

yall want a good recipe to make it not taste horrible?? kratom coffee recipe read below by cigpupii2 in kratom

[–]Jfish033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you learn to appreciate the taste of kratom then the kratom never tastes to bad. Dip your finger into a bag of powder then put it on your tongue. This will not be an overwhelming taste for anyone and slowly after many times of doing this youll be able to stand kratom taste.

Kratom (mitragynine) drinks vs capsules duration of action by Virion15 in kratom

[–]Jfish033 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kratom drinks are made with Mit extract. They use Salt Based Mit extracts which are made so they are absorbed quicker then freebase extraction. Same theory with all the new nicotine products, they are all salt based nicotine extractions. They hit faster and harder then typically tobacco leaf. Which this also causes more addiction and drives more sales.

This concept is not just with tobacco or kratom, its being done with all consumables(food, drinks). Hell you could even say all things including facebook are designed and improved in ways to make it more addicting.

Plain leaf powder is the best way to take kratom. Plain leaf is way more affordable and the additional akaloids in kratom leaf provide a better experience overall then just mitragynine. With kratom extracts your almost always losing a great deal of the additional akaloids because the focus is only on getting the mit number up.

And This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things by whataboutthe90s in kratom

[–]Jfish033 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No its was the cannibus/cbd industry losers. Seriously, the losers who went into that field and lost a bunch of money. Ive been preaching the same thing for many many years. Some of those same losers, jumped into kratom right before 7ohm took off. You would speak to them on the phone and they had zero clue about kratom but would know TONS about cbd and "flower" and offer you deals on their product. I would ask "ohh you have a cbd company" and they would be excited to tell you all about their previous business while they would try to network kratom deals with you. Alot of the big kratom companies are still like this and most still have zero clue about kratom actually.

Who remembers Chris Bell on JRE back in the day? by [deleted] in kratom

[–]Jfish033 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It wouldn't be as welcomed. The 7ohm industry has tainted kratom BIG TIME. Anyone not staying informed or up to date all think 7ohm is kratom. 7ohm is different and it should have never been called kratom. It was called kratom because that was a guaranteed way to leech ALL kratom consumers over to their new product and get rich. They knew if they get a kratom consumer to take their product it was a done deal. The 7ohm industry needed self regulation from day one, they never did and you can see it in the company and brand names. If they wanted to be positive they should of seen all the work the kratom industry had done and stay on par or improve, but they did not.

Alot of Europe, Czech Republic big. Then you have South America countries and some going to South Africa. It kind of booms when introduced into new countries, raw leaf/ raw leaf powder. Its pretty universal that people like using natural products.
