Yeah thank god for Kratom when the rain comes down. I only have 2 bags of D615 left and I cherish them.
I've got some Denette that doesn't really work for me too well,.including almost a whole bag of Red Sula Strong and almost a whole bag of Red Kutai, and a bunch of odds and ends, but I'm going to keep on trying those two until they work damnit! Hahaha! I remember the Kutai is half indoor dried and half outdoor dried and I never understood why it doesn't work for me, that's my favorite curing method.
I miss Denette so much, if I knew the last batch was the last batch, I would.hsve bought a TON more. He was a dependable guy and held to his word, even at his own expense and don't think I don't know how rare that is. Love you, D! I'll never forget the Red Fire debacle!

I think he did one drop around a year ago? I wouldn't mind even one or two drops a year but I don't know the supplier side of the business or how much of a pain it must be to deal with the new regulations. Those Denette greens were legendary, Green #1 and #2 are two of the most potent strains I've ever had, >2% mit and you could definitely tell. DTE has some fire greens too but I need them SKs/KAs in my life.
Since we are doing roll call, I am here and check the forum pretty regularly. I am in constant search for alt leaf or vintage bangers (my moms porno movie name) in the Trading Post. There has definitely been a drop off in activity here but I kind of like how hidden it all still is.
I'm trying to make a concerted effort of going from lurker to poster! I love this place and don't want to see it perish; forums are so much better than ephemeral stuff like Discord.
I was a buyer of Denette's for a while and truly felt like his stuff was a 'golden age' for me with Kratom... it's a damn shame he ended up retiring. Great guy.
Seems like there's definitely more word-of-mouth about Kratom these days in my experience, and not in a good way; 7-OH bringing Kratom into the spotlight in the context of fearmongering and potential scheduling due to it being lumped in with plain leaf is awful.
Straight up leaf is awesome, I've been a daily user at 1/2 teaspoons x4 daily (spaced out by 4 hours between doses, each dose alongside a cup of black coffee), started out on Happy Hippo Herbals and then "graduated" to thekratomstore[.]com and ultimately ended up on Denette for about 2 years before these days using mostly Lone Star (LSMS), almost exclusively I guess. If anyone's got recommendations on their long-term reliable vendors for plain leaf I'd love to hear.
A member just sent me an email saying Denette left a review for Top Shelf Green Muna. I was excitedly expecting to see him back on the forum, but what came up with my search was this post It must have been a really old review or something.
At any rate, good to see some familiar names posting here. I dont post much, but Im a regular lurker for sure! Ive always just assumed the 7oh thing is what caused a slow down in the forum... Ive heard a lot of "stories" from members about 7oh, it seems like a lot of people have tried it and regretted it. Perhaps this is an unfair assessment as I am making it off of the numerous emails I have received from our members with horror stories... to be fair nobody would be sending me emails with their success stories, lol. No judgment on those who dabble in it, I guess the key is to keep it to a "dabble" which is hard for a lot of people to do.
Great to see all the names on this thread. I was sitting there smiling as I read each screen name, I have memories attached to almost ever name here. I love this place.

Regarding your points about 7oh, I don't believe your assessment is off the mark whatsoever -- my wife had a friend who became addicted to 7oh (she luckily got herself off of it), and I have heard similar horror stories through the grapevine in my personal life as well as online. Troubling times indeed, I'm scared for the future of plain leaf legality / availability. Thank god that Minnesota has kept plain leaf Kratom legal for those 21 years of age or older.

Activity here is really sparse, sometime 1 or 2 months in-between between posts. What happened to everyone? Almost no current reviews. Double M was my source of strain information. Is there a new fancy forum somewhere else? Has everyone stopped using the green dust? I'm sad!
Honestly, i feel like I’m the one of the only ones on her asking for other’s reviews and trying to spread the word. It sucks! Esp cus the good leaf is few and far between these days - we need each other more than ever!
I think a majority of experienced users have had periods where they stocked up and are now much less prone to looking into new purchases. Plus, I keep thinking about moving several states over and I'm hesitant to deal with transporting multiple kilos of kratom at that time. Lol, on the other hand, once established in my new digs I'd be more open to celebrating that with the purchase of the latest top recommendations from this forum.
