Happy Hippo Newbie Pack
Posted: Wed Jun 12, 2019 4:47 pm
Hyper Hippo, Happy Hippo, and Chocolate Hippo are the 3 they sent and Thunder Hippo sampler. 2 days to land after ordering on Monday. USPS tore a quarter sized hole in the pack, 100% bet it was customs. I'll post the unboxing as soon as I can launch my editor. I've added the links to the strains I received, if anyone here has tried these, post below your experiences with them. https://www.happyhippoherbals.com/hyper ... er%20hippo https://www.happyhippoherbals.com/cozy- ... te%20hippo https://www.happyhippoherbals.com/happy ... 20hippo%20 total order came out to 38$ with 8$ 3 day priority shipping, advertised as 3-5 biz days to land, but took 2.
I'll edit this thread after trying these with effects/experiences.

Vendor Strain Name: Hyper Hippo
True Strain Name:Green Maengda Indonesian
Dosage: 2 grams
Delivery Method: Toss n Wash
Effects and Summary:
I took 2 grams of this on an empty stomach and started noticing effects about 30 minutes in. By an hour in I fully knew I had taken kratom.
This strain seemed more euphoric than pain relieving. I'd suggest this one for anyone who wanted to kick anti-social feelings to the curb and wanted some motivation.
It didn't really give me energy but it gets you motivated.
Comparing this to head shop kratom is night to day. 2 grams of this would equal 10-20 grams of head shop quality, even the super 10x/20x/50x headshop kratoms don't stand up to this.
There is a very big difference between what headshops sell and what you can get through online vendors.
Notes: Didn't fully kill appetite, was able to eat dinner, a positive for me. Also should be said this is my first online vendor product review. I've only had headshop quality before this.

Vendor Strain Name: Happy Hippo
True Strain Name: Red Borneo or Super Red
Dosage: 2-3 grams
Delivery Method: Toss and Wash
Caution: gagging effect with this strain [unsure if its texture or acidity]
Summary: This strain is the first to make me gag twice. I am still unsure if it is the consistency of the grind creating a gagful-texture of dust or if its the actual acidity in the leaf. Nonetheless I spewed mud every-where, second time I managed to choke some down but it still looked like I was clambering up from Hell like Samara's good little tar puking demons. Toss and wash with this is a task for newbs. I tried capsules and while it was 80% easier to take it took longer to work and needed more, as per digestion.
Effects: Mild sedation, I can see this being one of those strains that fits in both green and reds you get half effects from both but nothing SUPER.
Positives: I can eat on this strain, doesn't effect hunger. This is a very good thing for a medical effect.

Vendor Strain: Chocolate Hippo
True Strain Name: Benfuansie Chocolate
Dosage: 1-3 grams
Delivery Method: Toss and Wash/Capsules
Cautions: Strong Taste!
Summary: I get why they named it Chocolate, it tastes darker than any other strain I've had, yes darker I don't know how else to describe it but like a Super Dark Roast coffee compared to Dunkin Doughnuts coffee. I can't say if there was any feelings other than bedtime, I took about 2-3 grams, toss and wash and went to bed in about 3 hours after, slept for 10 hours. Not a day strain for me and if I had this on constant supply this would be used for the nights were pain keeps you awake. Strictly a sedation strain with my tolerance. This may effect others who have been on kratom longer than I. If you can find your plateau then this strain also gives some clarity, easier to think on this strain.

Still have the sampler of Thunder to try later, will review it later in this thread.
