Real Talk

Post by Loveandpeace »

Hi all,

What are my people doing about the upcoming bullshit (ban) with our beloved leaf? I have heard the vague 'stock up' but what does that actually look like. Is someone dropping a thousand for that venture and if so, is that really stocking up? Some of us will blow through that quicker than others, looking at some of you. Absolute green dust Hoovers!

I came into some inheritance and am truly pondering what some of y'alls plans look like.

I hope for less vague answers or maybe even a DM to join a secret klub...

Wouldn't it be fun to claim some trees in Indonesia?

Nothing like that, I can assure you. I'm buying one bag for now and one bag to stash in the mysterious red box o'mine of all that I buy So far I have
...THREE bags (one of which being the Elder Tree Gold I just got last night.) I opened and took some of the string dried Wild Red Saka in there but I put it back and I'm not taking anymore.

I already dipped into my stashed 7ohm, but that was just for fun, I'm down to 16 mg a day now, and with my boss, that's nothing short of a miracle.

There is only so much anyone can do, one day we will ALL run out, unless we are labdog or h², which I'm not.

I'm just looking at the leaf in the corner that gives me a headache just KNOWING one day I'll be thankful to even have THAT.


As far as the rest, don't get me started, I'm already thinking of staying home from work today. I still have to order some TFH for the box this week or next.

Hey buddy grab that white Tua if you don’t already have it - I have been loving that one. :mrgreen:



Every time I walk into a gas station I see the reason (right there at the register and in your face) that Kratom is facing bans all over the country. Sadly, I feel leaf’s legal days are all but over.

I haven’t been buying a lot in the last couple years (trying to work through a bunch of my older stuff), but I’m figuring I might need to step up my purchasing if I want any semi-fresh leaf for the future.

The good news though is that even my old 2017 and 2018 bags still get the job done. They definitely lack that nice fresh leaf taste though.

If i stay in the US and consuming it right now.
I will find the alternative of kratom, since i may not have much money to change states and start a new life.

Or: if i have that money, then i might change states where it is legal and creates community for this wellness product. Also have some hiking/biking/going to the beach with the community members, Do some yoga/anything that is fun for me.


Anyway, hope all becoming much better for you guys, We hope that this kind leaf can find its way in the states.

After the first "scare" when the DEA was trying to ban it, I started buying an extra kilo of everything. I use in total each year about 2 kilos, so I expect I'll only need 20 kilos for my estimated lifespan, but there always seems to be more new ones to try. So I think, if I live to be ridiculously old, I'll still never run out. I have like 40 or so kilos, with 4 of my favorites coming in in the next 3 weeks. I'm glad I have a basement.

Irresponsible marketing is really doing damage these days. I’m seeing so much anti-kratom rhetoric everywhere. I liked it better when it wasn’t so mainstream. Now we have a huge influx of profiteers coming in to ruin it for everyone. 🤬
