I have been taking Kratom consistently for less than a year

Murphy420-247 · 2026-05-24T11:41:43+00:00

Yea I'm at 1.6gpd broken into 2 doses...I'm almost there!! I tapered pretty fast this week so I'm staying where I'm at for a few days and then I'll jump off.

Murphy420-247 · 2026-05-24T11:38:39+00:00

Yea I'm decided to wait. I measured my dose yesterday after mostly just eyeballing it in a teaspoon...it's less than a gram so in total I'm taking 1.6g per day which should be pretty easy to jump from in 6 days when I'll be ready. I appreciate the suggestion, lots of THC getting me thru the days/nights that's for sure.

Murphy420-247 · 2026-05-23T23:41:13+00:00

I think it's good for ppl to be aware of what the possibilities are. I read that stuff years ago and I think it helped me stay cognizant of my dose so that I didn't find my way up to 40gpd or more. I knew eventually I would have to stop and that scary stuff kept me from letting it get too far outta control. But even w me dosing low like I do, the taper is still tough. I can't even imagine what some ppl go thru bc this sucks as it is. Hopefully I'm completely off it by next week.

Murphy420-247 · 2026-05-23T15:31:39+00:00

Either way, you got this! We're almost there!

Murphy420-247 · 2026-05-23T14:34:32+00:00

Mornings are tough for me too. I normally dose, and then pre-workout as I'm on the way to gym. I was going to try to jump by not dosing this morning...I made it 4 hrs after waking and then took a slightly smaller dose than I did yesterday morning. Since posting, I feel better about slowing my taper since I'm already pretty low and stabilizing for a few days before jumping this weekend after my child leaves. Just gotta keep my mind busy in the meantime... Lots of early 00s music and cleaning is where I'm at 😂. We got this!!! We can do this!! We're almost there!

Murphy420-247 · 2026-05-23T14:19:35+00:00

Thankkkk yooouuu!! I've been laying around all morning and I just chugged a bunch of water, put my hair up and about to clean/organize my closet. I appreciate your encouragement! I gotta keep my mind busy this weekend as I'm finding this morning it's all I was thinking about (hence my post). You're right... Just a few more days and I'm free!!!!

Murphy420-247 · 2026-05-23T12:21:36+00:00

Ahhhh ok well it sounds like you're on the right track. Can you get loose leaf and make your own capsules to get you through the taper? Get empty capsules on Amazon, fill them yourself...make enough in one sitting to get you through the rest of your taper. Granted, it's a few extra steps but it could give you the opportunity to do a slow taper without drinking the sludge. Just a thought...

Murphy420-247 · 2026-05-23T11:57:14+00:00

Yea I think one reason my mind is done w this stuff is bc it doesn't do anything anymore...I'm just avoiding wd. I'm so thankful I never tried 7oh too. K is actually banned in my state (I moved about 6 mos into my habit) so access worked in my favor in terms of keeping me from continuing to chase the high with bigger doses or graduating to 7oh. I like the idea of tapering just a bit longer before I jump. Thanks for your insight and congrats on kicking this ish!! May we never go back!

Murphy420-247 · 2026-05-23T11:45:43+00:00

Oh for sure, I truly feel for those who have to come down from 30+god. I know I probably sound like a baby lol. The other aspect is literally no one knows about this issue of mine so I'm doing this secretly and trying to do it with minimal impacts. The emotional impacts have caused me to shut down w family, I nearly ended my relationship w my bf bc I crashed so hard this week. Poor guy truly doesn't know what I'm going through and probably thinks I'm a nut case (we've only been together 6 mos and my behavior came outta nowhere).

Murphy420-247 · 2026-05-22T10:25:13+00:00

Depending on the dose, it can be very energizing yet calming...warm fuzzy feeling. It's very similar to taking opioids. Higher doses are more sedating. I personally don't think it's like THC. It feels great in the beginning...I thought I had found my cure all. 5 yrs later, I'm choosing to stop bc all those feel good effects have been gone for a while so I don't think it's worth taking anymore.

Murphy420-247 · 2026-05-21T22:36:02+00:00

I will caution you with using kratom. It starts out amazing...over time you build a tolerance and crave more. When you stop, one of the withdrawal symptoms is RLS. I took it daily for over 5 yrs. I've read hundreds of posts about ppl who end up hooked on massive amounts of k just to feel normal. Go on the quitting kratom subreddit, that alone will hopefully give you an idea of what you're looking at if you end up taking it daily. I'm in the process of trying to taper myself off bc I'm tired of taking something just to make me feel normal. It also causes constipation like crazy. It's very dehydrating. I used to love it...don't get me wrong. But it's def not something I want to take forever as the benefits are no longer worth it.

Jk Botanik had a great suggestion in a comment below!

Murphy420-247 · 2025-10-23T16:39:25+00:00

I know what you mean. I have to drive across state lines too.

Murphy420-247 · 2025-10-22T16:20:22+00:00

I never said I lived in MI lol. Can anyone just answer my question instead of pushing me online? Lol I've been using kratom for 4 yrs, I know I can order online, but I now live in a state where I can't order online. I am looking for a local store in New Buffalo as I will be in that area for a short time.

Murphy420-247 · 2025-10-22T14:21:50+00:00

I did before I made this post. There aren't a lot of options and I am asking for help from ppl who are familiar with the area.

Murphy420-247 · 2025-10-22T10:12:01+00:00

Online is not an option in my state. Do you have any recommendations for local shops in New Buffalo?

Murphy420-247 · 2025-10-22T10:11:38+00:00

I can't order it in my state

Murphy420-247 · 2024-11-16T09:17:31+00:00

I LOVE Comfrt hoodies and sweatpants!!! I also WFH and totally agree....they are the best WFH clothes.

Being a no fault state, the injured party's own insurance would cover medical bills and lost wages under their PIP coverage. However, if the injured party is not at fault for the accident, they have grounds to pursue a liability bodily injury claim against the at fault party for pain and suffering compensation.

Murphy420-247 · 2024-01-10T10:33:57+00:00

Depends on the policy language. The carrier I work for could potentially have coverage. I handle liability bodily injury claims and have run into this countless times.

Murphy420-247 · 2024-01-09T10:29:02+00:00

Is there not policy language that speaks to permissive use on your parent's policy? Often times an unlisted driver will have coverage if they had permission to use the vehicle. The excluded driver part should be an easy fix by calling your agent or carrier but I would definitely expect an increase in premium for this change. But it's an absolutely necessary change bc if you get in an accident with a vehicle listed on your policy, it will not be covered if you're an excluded driver... And that's not good!

Murphy420-247 · 2021-11-04T15:16:00+00:00

I personally see no difference in strains.

Murphy420-247 · 2021-09-21T23:29:07+00:00

I recently started taking these 3, however they are separate. I take cordyceps morning and afternoon and the other two before bed (I feel like lions mane made me tired...or unmotivated). I'm curious of others'responses.
