Smiley Time Herbals - few reds

[oneindividual]

Hey! I took a break on buying cause I stocked mad kratom in 2016, but I’m low on good reds. So I came here, saw TFH wasn’t opened yet but I had a smiley account I made but never ordered from. Why not give it a shot? 10 years kratom, average 10g a day but the past week my awful pain from over-exercise has made me up it to 15-20 temporarily - I did a marathon 40 mile 2 days bike ride since I wanted to get out after quarantining due to being high risk. Anyway this vendor is the bomb! It’s 2016 level potency, must be a great season.

Red Samarinda 3g -

Heavy hitter. Very noticeable, some kratoms help the pain or are relaxing, but this one packs a punch that you can feel. Good on pain, ok for anxiety but a little stimulating. I thought it would be the worst since I’ve had a bad Sam before, but surprisingly it’s tied for favorite! Funny enough, I mixed up Sam with Suwalesi, and ordered based on name only, remembering a great Suwa I had. I realized and almost tried to switch it but I’m damn glad I didn’t, now I have 500 grams of fire.

OG Red Ketapang - 3g

This one wasn’t as noticeable, and I was a bit disappointed. But then I turned my neck, and found out my pulled muscle had NO pain, which no other kratom had been touching recently. Definitely keeping this one for workouts! Pretty bland other than the pain relief but that’s why I use it anyway. Least fav but no slouch either. Maybe I’ll enjoy it with a bit higher dose too.

Blood Glow, 2g
Relaxing. Bit sedating, but also a strong anxiety effect. Reminds me of one of my favorite strains - the most expensive boutique vendor (200$ kilos) (don’t think they’re approved so I’ll avoid naming them) Green Malay. Pain effect is alright, probably in between the other two for that. No stimulation for this one, it’s straight red.

2nd dose, estimated 4g of the Blood Glow - took a bigger dose since the 1st I wasn’t feeling and my pain came back (hours after so still feeling 1st)
Stimulating and very relaxing. Almost overwhelmingly so on relaxing, but making my mind race a bit. Uplifting for mood. I wouldn’t take this if I was going out cause I’m feeling extra lazy physically, but for any at-home task it would be good with the mental boost. Nice balance, good for couch potatoing some TV or games too. Again I don’t usually take 6 grams so it’s a bit high and that influenced it, but still the character of it is unreal. Top blend for sure. It reminds me a bit of the least potent from the Maha Kali selling vendor’s 2014 leaf, again not sure if they’re approved so I’ll not name them. Kratom was absolutely insane in 2012-14 so even the worst of that is saying something.

Looking forward to trying Texas harvest, getting my post count up too so I can buy a bit of the post. I can’t imagine how crazy that is if this lesser-hyped vendor is already this good! I’ll be grabbing more smiley as well if I come into enough dough. Glad to still have kratom in these tough times.

You can name the vendors who aren't "approved" here! Hell, most of my favorite batches are from vendors that aren't named on the vendor list, the whole reason this place is here is for finding the best leaf out there! Thanks for the STH review, good job brother!

Haha alright thanks. I haven’t posted here in years and last time they were more weary about unapproved. They’re MMM speciosa for the 200 dollar kilos, a nice treat once in a while, and Herbal Salvation, still a great brand if a bit expensive. Are they still around? I had the Red Sumatra last year and it was great.

Nice review! Was it Blood glow or Blood Moon? Didn’t see a blood glow on the menu but maybe it sold out. I’ve been wanting to try out STH herbals again soon.

hey man good to see ya here, long time since Reddit. yes we got the Wild West here, wide open, anyone's a "vendor" using a Gmail address. Anyone can advertise... imho a Vetted List, as you assumed... I think would be better for the new folks, and lurkers, to have a quality selection & less confusing? Anyway, good ole' mmm Speciosa. Question if their stuff's the same as 5 years ago? I'd be very skeptical, for those prices! Glad you found Smiley Time Herbals!

Ah - MMM Speciosa. Haven't bought from them in a while but they did have some good stuff back then. I had to go digging but I found some White Java I bought from them in 2016 and took some this morning - still as good as I remembered
