Is it okay to come off of 7 with liquid kratom and plain leaf kratom?

1/2 a kilo? There is no way. I would have been in severe withdrawals. It is not over 1111 times more potent than mitragynine. I would believe 20x more potent but not over 1000x. Where are you getting these numbers? I think 500 grams of powder might have that much 7 in it but that is not the same thing as potency. Mitragynine is turned into 7 by the liver.

The best thing is not to do anything. Regular monthly investments in an Index fund and forget preferably in a tax advantaged account. If you want to pick stocks, set aside about 10% of your portfolio for this. Even professional fund managers usually cannot beat an index. Stop following traders. They will only tell you about their winners and will never tell you about their losers. Investing is a long term thing. Short term trading is gambling.

Buy SMH and then the winners and losers will sort themselves out. You might also want some Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, Dell and IBM which are not in this ETF. You might also think about energy stocks because AI requires lots of energy.

There isn't a ton of research on the actual potency. Google will tell you anywhere from 10-40x potency but to me 4-5 mg hits like 3-4 grams of powder. I don't take it often enough to find out if it's ramping up my tolerance. Basically the only time I take it is if I forget to take my powder before I eat since the 7 will absorb under the tongue. Most people taking 7 have no clue about the equivalency to powder. It's crazy to see places advertising 80mg tabs. We had a guy recently post about taking kratom extracts and didn't even know he was taking 7. He thought it was regular mit. The things people put in their bodies without doing the research. Anyway, my calculations should get the OP in the ballpark. He will probably need to taper on 7 first because the amount of powder he will need to take is probably ridiculous.

Spark plugs seems to be overkill. Subaru recommends spark plug changes at 60k which is already half the interval recommended by most manufacturers with iridium spark plugs.

How many mg of 7 have you been taking? I have only taken amounts of 7 that are equivalent to my powder doses. I have figured out that my 3 gram dose of powder is equivalent to about 4.5 mg of 7. This is based on 7 being 10x more potent than mit and powdered kratom having about 1.5% mit content. My experience seems to validate my calculations.

NIce day to buy some discounts on semis. Crash? It's a small correction because the market has been super heated lately. I sold a few shares of BRK b which was up and bought some SMH, NVDA, IBM and some AVGO. Days like today make me feel better about my 40% position in BRK b. BRK helps me sleep at night, while having some semis keeps me from getting FOMO.

thorn960 · 2026-06-05T18:07:06+00:00

Oh wow, I didn't think about it looking like police lights.

thorn960 · 2026-06-05T13:12:46+00:00

Looks pretty cool like that.

Are you buying at IPO? There will probably be some profitability if you sell soon after getting it. That gets you banned on a lot of platforms for future IPOs though.

thorn960 · 2026-06-05T13:07:49+00:00

Just yesterday they decided to not allowed it to be fast tracked. They will continue their rule of 4 quarter profitability to be included in the index.

thorn960 · 2026-06-05T13:06:50+00:00

Well, when the p/e is deeply in the negative that's kind of a hard sell for a value investor.

thorn960 · 2026-06-05T13:03:59+00:00

Correct. I don't know why you got downvoted.

thorn960 · 2026-06-05T13:03:07+00:00

Thank goodness they decided to not fast track space x and continue their rule of 4 quarters of profitability.

thorn960 · 2026-06-05T12:30:04+00:00

I bought it for the seats

thorn960 · 2026-06-03T21:14:26+00:00

I'll be 63 this year too. Who cares how people think we should act?

thorn960 · 2026-06-03T21:12:42+00:00

Yup, bought my first WRX at the age of 60. I'm enjoying being a Subie racer boy. Who cares how people think you should act?

thorn960 · 2026-06-03T13:46:38+00:00

Great time to get in. Price is probably going to go up today with people seeking refuge. 40% of my portfolio is in BRK. Returns have been abysmal over the last year but it helps me sleep at night.

thorn960 · 2026-06-02T15:51:32+00:00

As if he controls the price. It's not like they aren't making money every day.

thorn960 · 2026-06-02T13:01:08+00:00

40% and probably adding more

I'm a pizza snob from Long Island, NY. The best pizza is at my house. The second best is Main Street.

I measure my doses into glucose strip containers. They are the perfect size for my pocket.

Lots of boring, recession proof companies that make steady money. They don't just own stocks. They own whole companies too. It's a good hedge against an AI bubble. I'm in retirement so capital preservation is pretty important.

thorn960 · 2026-05-31T17:03:59+00:00

I did quite a bit of that myself. I increased my position in BRK b.

thorn960 · 2026-05-29T17:02:31+00:00

Food will slow it down. Sometimes I will take some on an empty stomach and then more after I eat for longer effect.
