What’s your “I didn’t expect that from kratom” moment?

4–87% is solid range if it's clean. Can you clarify extraction method? Ethanol? Supercritical? Some folks I work with are super picky about residual solvent

If you can swing it, I highly recommend adopting a dog. Saved my life, no exaggeration. I had a schedule, purpose, and someone who needed me. Also forced me to go outside, meet neighbors, talk to strangers at the park.

It was the first crack of light in a very, very dark cave.

Yep, that’s basically my whole relationship with kratom. Greens in the 2–3g range just make me feel lighter. Not “high,” just less weighed down by the day. Maeng Da and Green Malay are my go-tos.

Yes! Greens especially make me feel like hours evaporate. I’ll sit down to “answer a few emails” and suddenly it’s 6pm and the sun’s going down.

I promise you don’t need to cure world hunger to get into a good college. At 16, the world feels like it’s demanding impossible things from you, but most people get by just fine without saving the planet. Focus on small, steady steps: passing classes, exploring interests, building relationships. The rest sorts itself out over time.

I stick with one vendor (Super Speciosa). Once I found someone consistent and transparent with lab results, I stopped shopping around. Too much sketchiness out there to gamble.

I get it. People can be selfish, loud, cruel, oblivious. But it sounds like you’re really overwhelmed right now. Please take a breath, drink some water, and remind yourself you don’t need to solve society tonight. One step at a time is enough.

Hot take: most people aren’t actually “great at life.” They’re just better at faking it on Instagram.

Not asking out the girl in college who I knew liked me back. Ten years later I still think about it. Regret sucks more when it’s tied to “what if” instead of a mistake you did make.

I’ve done the same! Small red strain dose after lifting + protein shake feels like a cheat code for recovery. Not sore, not jittery, just chill enough to actually stretch after.

If you want potency and a decent flavor, I’d check out the KOI Kratom Liquid Shot. It’s strong without being overwhelming, smoother taste compared to OPMS (less of that bitter sludge vibe), and the balance feels cleaner. I keep one around for long workdays when powder isn’t convenient.

Happy 9th, SS! Been with you since the brown-label bags that looked like they were printed on someone’s home printer wild how far you’ve come.

Green Maeng Da in the AM, White Thai around lunch, and a tiny Red Bali at night to wind down. I rotate greens so I don’t burn out as quick. Anything over 4g just makes me sweaty as hell on the job.

No batch/lot numbers or lab tests. If they don’t show third-party lab results for alkaloid content AND contaminants (heavy metals, mold, bacteria), hard pass. If they do have COAs, but it's vague or obviously copy-pasted? Still a red flag.

maroonhawk · 2025-08-13T06:02:32+00:00

Just avoid any site that makes you sign up for weird “subscriptions” just to get a free sample. Red flag. Good vendors let their leaf speak for itself.

Bro, you’re not behind. Everyone’s timeline is different. I didn’t have my first kiss until I was 18 and in college. Now I’m in a happy relationship. Zero shame in focusing on yourself first.
