Double M Herbals | Kratom Forum

So a friend of mine let me try a THC gummie last night and I have to say that while I wouldn't want it to replace kratom, and I wouldn't use it more than once or twice a week, it was a change and a nice one. So is there a forum as knowledgeable (and as friendly) about the subject as this one is about kratom? I'd love more than anything else just to get the best advice (I know that I wasted a year of my kratom use on just poor quality stuff).

r/trees r/treedibles and couple others is a place you could ask questions and get answers if that is what youre looking for. It's not MM or even close,but there are some very smart people in there that will help,also a lot of not so helpful people.

Yeah, I think I'll stay FAR away from Reddit.

I guess I'll just have to make my journey like I did at first without this forum (costs more money and leads to a lot of dead ends but OTOH you also find some things you would not have otherwise done).

There are a good amount of people here who use thc. They can tell you about vapes, dabs, rolls, legal weed, particular strains, etc.

But....haha...most of them are active on MeWe.

So you can post here and chat there.

I had gummies, but it took so long to kick in that I ate the whole damn thing and things got psychedelic. It's not to my liking in general.

Gummies reminded me a LOT of using kratom capsules, which take about an hour to kick in. So it seems just completely natural to me (and, of course, VERY portable - no vaping or smoking for this old guy).

But I've ordered from a couple of different places and I *think* I can make my journey on my own. Would have loved to find another forum like this but perhaps there isn't nearly as much to it (so far it seems a LOT more straightforward than my kratom journey). MeWe, as you know, isn't for me we.

If you were suggesting that place - they don't sell Delta 9 products (the only ones I'm interested in).

I'm not up to date on legality... I know delta8 is legal in most places cause it's made from industrial hemp.

It was not so for delta9 when I looked into it, though I think that IS legal now? Thought I saw an ad for it.

Don't want to get a prescription and hit up a dispensary?

Delta 9 apparently is legal almost everywhere (CA and CO for some odd reason it is not - I thought EVERYTHING was legal in CA :>).

I've ordered (now) from three different places so we'll see what we'll see (apparently the "trick" in the formulation is both how much Delta 9 you add along with what else you might add - for sleep (our reds) they generally add some CDN, for "daytime" (think kratom white) they add THCV, and for just pure "feels" I guess they don't add anything to the Delta 9 (so I'm thinking that's like a green.

So we'll experiment with the various types and also dosages. I guess that's my life now - just experimenting with things that are "quasi" legal.

Lots and lots of horror stories, people who ate too many THC gummies, at a party maybe... and wound up with a psychotic episode

Keep this in mind. Overdosing on THC can't be easily reversed... it's a terrible feeling, to know - you have HOURS ahead of you - I had to get talked down, by phone, with a friend as I was about ready to call 911 Ambulance. THC is well known to elevate heart rate - I was about to have a heart attack - made me absolutely miserable crazy and paranoid ... for like 3 hours.

Despite my experience level (I used to grow the stuff and made many a cookie and brownie - and, ironically enough, was a drug consoler for a couple of years) or maybe even because of it I am extremely cautious when it comes to this stuff. I know it's FAR more potent than the stuff I was used to in the 60's, as well as formulated in very different ways.

I did overdo it on my first attempt - I ate an entire gummy and that was WAY too much - but the only disturbing effect was the wobblies (something I have never gotten from kratom). Did not like. So next time I lowered the dose by half and seemed a bit too little (so the next time will be 3/4). So I'm not particularly worried about overdoing this.

I'm more interested in various aspects like this (appropriate for these forums): what, if any, can happen using kratom with this stuff? Does it amplify the fx (similar to alcohol) or knock it out? Is it as unrecommended as using it with alcohol (although once upon a time I used to do kratom with a vodka shot and it worked extremely well).

But I do appreciate your warnings Mr. B. As I said, I am naturally cautious and doubt whether my journey will be dangerous.

I suggest you ask hippie or e_ if you can post a gummies thread in the general section, it'd get more attention. dunno what they'll say.

I can't answer for everyone but I can share my experience - THC has excellent synergy with kratom, but does not potentiate it. I've found that a low dose gummy (5 to 10mg) eaten at the same time as a kratom dose makes it hit very nicely and increases that "magic" feeling. However, be careful, as kratom DOES strongly potentiate THC. It's a lot easier to get way too high with kratom in your system. I would also suggest you get gummies where you know the exact dose, that way you can experiment and find the perfect dose for your body.

Also, when I use THC daily for extended periods of time, I lose that synergy, and eventually the THC actually ruins burns. That really might just be me though, I know many people that can use THC daily with few adverse effects - I tend to get listless and depressed when I use THC every day.

Thanks, that info is really helpful.

As a VERY general rule I don't intend to mix kratom with the gummies. And, actually, as a very general rule I don't intend to do many gummies (although I *might* break this - yesterday I took a "daytime" mix that was stupendous - actually the best I've felt about a whole LOT of things in life, and VERY unexpected. I fully intend to reorder this particular batch again).

So - so far I've had four very different experiences - one I overdosed (and that was before I knew the dosage so I think now I know what happened - I took a 30mg gummie when all the others I have bought now are 15 or 10mg, so very, very different. But it was from a friend and I knew nothing at the time about them). The second time I tried a nighttime one and it was perfect, the best of any nighttime kratom I've used (except a LOT stronger). The third I took in the daytime with a balanced blend and it was literally a complete whiff (like I sometimes get with kratom). And, finally, the stupendous one I took yesterday.

So in a week I've tried about four different ones and I still have another eight from different vendors, in different configurations. But I will be VERY careful if I do decide to mix kratom with these (right now I'm kind of in a kratom lull - haven't had any for nearly a week and really haven't missed it. But then again, I have had on various days these gummies. Oh, and also the gummies seem to last a LOT longer than any kratom dose - I still feel the effects eight hours or more later, where with kratom even a good dose seldom lasts beyond four hours).

When I was enjoying THC I purchased Delta 9 online, no problem. I'm in IL.
THC in cannibs isn't legal everywhere and the fact of it is that Delta 9 should NOT be legal according to the rules. They play with percentages so that they can sell it legally. I forgot exactly how it was explained it but, trust me, a Delta 9 gummy is every bit as powerful as a regular THC cannabis gummy (or other form) so use carefully.

I don't think it is as 'good' as regular cannabis because it generally isn't from hemp that has been carefully 'cultured'. I'd compare it to a cheap, generic liquor as opposed to something expensive and smooth and subtle. But it does the job, so to speak - especially if you have pain, etc.

Hi Grey, good to see ya around! Mele kalikimaka and hauoli maka hiki ho (merry xmas and a happy new year). I know you don't generally celebrate xmas, but have a good few days around that time!!!!

Thanks! REALLY good useful information.

And I'm guessing that if I *could* find such a forum it would be full of tips and info like this.

And, yes, every time I try another one I am struck by how powerful they are and how careful you need to be. I guess I'm okay with generic liquor, though.

Hello, my Friend. It's great to see everyone still here and curious about Kratom and life in general.

May you have a fabulous year full of peace and abundance.

I have done most of my Delta 8 and 9 purchassed from 3chi. So far I haven't had any trouble with them.
