| Kratom is native to Southeast Asia, where it has a long history as an opium substitute. Effects
At lower dosages kratom has euphoric and stimulating effects, while at higher dosages the dreamy and sedative effects become more pronounced. Like opium kratom also has aphrodisiac effects, stimulating sexual lust in both men and women. Of the different types of kratom, Thai kratom has the strongest energizing effects, while kratom from Bali and Malaysia are especially sedative. Usage You can make a tea by pouring hot water on 3 to 5 grams of leaves or powder, and letting this steep for a couple of minutes. 10 grams would be a high dose. When taken on an empty stomach the effects are noticeable after five to ten minutes and last several hours.  |
