Oties Botanicals

Here is a review of my recent (November) purchase from Oties. It was my first time ordering from them, I read some positive reviews

I ordered on October 31 and the package arrived November 5th.
I like their website, it is well layed-out and easy to use, with good descriptions of their strains and reviews. I was able to pay [Removed]. Also cute logo :)

A little background for me: Since I discovered Kratom in Fall of 2016, when I had to deal with some very difficult family issues, I have been a daily user, about 3 g, 3 times a day. I take it for focus (ADD) and chronic, low grade dysphoria. So I would not call it recreational use. It really helps me function better in daily life.

I have ordered from about 20 different vendors, so I am not a newby.

I ordered 100 g each of Red Bali, Green Dragon and Gold Bali. $20 /100 g. Not the cheapest out there. I used to order larger quantities but now I like to test out smaller quantities and if I like something I can always get more.

Nice packaging, well labelled and with a batch number.

Green Dragon: light green color and a clean taste. Very fine texture. (I have discovered that the color and taste is really indicative of how it works and personally I much prefer the green-hued ones over the fermented reddish brown ones. Also each strain seems to taste different and some almost make me gag, while others are almost pleasant in taste. So this one hit all the marks.)

I take Kratom first thing in the morning either with Grapefruit juice or with Coffee on an empty stomach.
The Green Dragon kicked in within 15 minutes or less and the first effect is a clearing of the brain fog, like the clouds lifting in your head and then the motivation and energy sets in. This effect lasts about 2 - 3 hours or longer, and I could easily focus on my painting and got totally lost in the process. That is called “Flow” I believe. Just an overall feeling of well-being and enthusiasm for my projects.

I put the Green Dragon to the test at other times of the day and found that even my evening dose, after I had already had food, or when I found myself stressed out and distracted by noise or other things, this strain really gets me on an even keel again and able to just be a better person and deal with life.

Last month I went on a long hike. We took a break at the halfway point and then started the long trek back up the mountain. I took a dose of Green Dragon just before the ascent and had the best time during this climb, great energy, feeling almost euphoric and really enjoying my awareness of the beautiful surroundings. I felt physically strong and also very happy. FYI: I am in my sixties.

I will review the other strains another time. But I really like this one

Mod note: No mentioning payment systems. Thanks.

The green dragon sounds fantastic. I might have to give that a try I am looking for some new greens. All of a sudden my body is now reacting differently to greens and they are working better than ever.

I hear you! I have had some older batches laying around, that I used to think were so so, and then trying them again after some weeks, they worked quite well.
