I found it pretty meh. Not as bad as Mystic’a recent stuff, but nothing special. Definitely on the slower side of the red spectrum though.

Re: socal red cambodian
It’s been about a week since I last posted, so I figured I’d hop in here real quick.
As far as me being a shill - I honestly wish I was. I’d have made some decent money on commission for that red cambo because my reviews alone caused many people to buy the Red Cambodian. I checked on here a few days later and was thinking “oh shit, what if everyone hates it”. Lol.
First, the red cambo is good. As basically everyone has said since my initial review, it’s a good quality multifunctional strain. Only one or two negative reviews about it so far. I personally like it a lot for mid-day use, to get a second wind after my lunch break.
But, let me just say, I was *probably* a bit over excited. Don’t get me wrong - it IS a good strain - but I got a little carried away. I had been stuck with such bad kratom for months. Then I finally get a batch from SoCal, and the initial few burns had me feeling literal euphoria. Like the “I should call my Grandma just to talk about what’s going on in the world” type of euphoria. Since my phone was in my hand during these burns, and this website was still open, I just felt like writing a review.
The euphoria literally kicked in full blast as I was typing the reviews... and well, it came out in the reviews. One of my reviews in particular actually captured the exact moment I became euphoric, for the first time in months. But anyways... I couldn’t stop typing. Like, I tried, but just COULD NOT stop typing lol. I just felt too good. Sometimes a good kratom strain just makes me go OFF on the typing. Like I can just be watching a random video on YouTube about forestry, and end up typing a 3 paragraph comment and about the types of trees I’ve seen, why I prefer certain trees over others, etc. It’s ridiculous and I always look back the next day like wtf. But yeah, I went off on that SoCal review. The end result was basically likening Red Cambodian to having sex with Jessica Alba in Hawaii sitting on a pile of $48,000,000 in cash.
So, yeah. Red cambo is good. Solid 8/10. But the reviews I wrote were a bit carried away, because I just couldn’t contain the positive feelings.

Re: socal red cambodian
Ive got 250g of this strain arriving today; it will be my first time taking Kratom. Any tips? Dosing for anxiety and alcohol cessation.
Also, any good words about this vendor and how I should feel that the product is safe for consumption would be great. This is all very new to me, and I kind of chose SoCal based on the review of the red Cambodian in this thread.
Should I also expect samples?

Welcome to the forum, throwawaymaine!
I think the red Cambodian would be a decent strain for anxiety.
If you are new to Kratom, there's a list of vendors that offer sampler packs somewhere I can link you to it when I get to my desktop after work.

Re: socal red cambodian
Yeah, it’s perfectly safe for consumption. SoCal is an established, generally well reviewed vendor. Most complaints about them are in regard to potency inconsistency, but in that regard, the Red Cambodian was a good pick.Throwawaymaine wrote:Ive got 250g of this strain arriving today; it will be my first time taking Kratom.

In general, you can’t really go wrong with a slightly heaping teaspoon for your first try. But it may take a few tries to find your sweet spot.
Starting dose mainly depends on what you’re using kratom for. Generally, for opiate WDs, people start with higher doses of kratom, to really saturate those opioid receptors and get relief. People looking for pain relief or relief for other physical ailments may go higher as well. Whereas someone looking for mental effects, like mood boost, or anxiety relief may err on the lower side of dosing.
Honestly though, most new users are way more weary about the dosing than they need to be. Kratom’s a totally safe botanical, you’ll be alright even if you do take a little too much.

Do you have a gram scale? If not, go to a smoke shop and get one, they're around $15-20. I like one that weighs to .00 because that's how I dose. I suggest to new users they start low, like one gram, and work up by quarter gram increments until they find their 'sweet spot'. But a scale is very important, you should be weighing your doses.

Re: socal red cambodian
So-Cal's quality has gotten worse and worse. Out of 4 strains I've ordered since December this is by far the worst. Sometimes I wonder if they blend back kratom they made extract with into the good shit to cut it.
I remember when they used to test the alkaloid content of some strains and I never had a bunk batch when I bought those in 2017. Lately most of so-cals is bunk af. K I used to buy would work way better than this shit with a higher tolerance than I got now. Shit I'd get in 2013/2014 from when world seed supply was still a vender worked amazing even with tolerance. SMH

Re: socal red cambodian
Looks like you got a new batch of the Red Cambodian. 01/01/19 was an upper decent batch. Sorry to hear man. Right now I’m rocking Liza’s and I’d say all of them work for me for the most part. I’ve never purchased a “dud” in my two years of heavy Kratom use.NeutronBacterium wrote:So-Cal's quality has gotten worse and worse.

Re: socal red cambodian
Good god, they are out. If anyone wants to swap/sell with me, I have so much Kratom I could start a museum, featuring large quantities of unopened packages from the best vendors around.
I didn’t realize I would click like this with SoCal’s Red Cambodian but one 250g bag that I’m taking daily is not going to last forever.

Re: socal red cambodian
Lurker coming out! Lol! I'm just getting back to using daily kratom due to pain doc cutting off my meds for a thc positive urine. Seriously? They just cut you off and toss you into wd? I'm here to tell you kratom does help you through the wd and the pain. I still have a lot of my old stash from a year ago and was around during the reddit days. Anyhow back on topic.
I'm a fan of the red cambo! This is the only strain I can claim really lit me up. I took it as my first dose and it is not a typical red. It was euphoric, took my pain away and didn't put me to sleep. I'm bummed, I see they are out of it

It looks like he did get the good batch. Look at the lot# (RC010119). It was just packaged at a later date. I ordered a kilo from that batch packed on 2/1/19 and its great stuff! 10+ year kratom user here... Im not on a honeymoon

I have the 01/01/19 and it's better than most for me. Definitely feels like a red to me, good for evening relaxation, very warming. Can't speak for pain as I have none, but it had a nice mood to it. 7/10. I will add it to my regular rotation. I also got the white cambodian, trying that tomorrow morning.

Re: socal red cambodian
I purchased it off of your review alone. Just like you after about a month of bunk Kratom I was excited to try something good and it worked out very well for me. Just finished my first bag of 250G yesterday now I only have 1 bag left. If anyone wants to part with it I’d be more then happy to buy it from them. It’s very potent to my body chemistry. So I give it as 8/10.The Relaxed Guy wrote:It’s been about a week since I last posted, so I figured I’d hop in here real quick.

Re: socal red cambodian
To the one’s here who have not had much luck with the Red Cambo I may have found a solution!
Not making any promises though haha
1. Use S&V a little bit to add toward your burn
2. Try a 10mg CBD gummy added as well or a good branded tincture CBD 25mg that doesnt taste like Grammys a55crack
...anyhoo
3. Dont forget your matcha tea with added turmeric in the tea! A new favorite Bigelow proprietary blend that I drink once every day. I also never Ever forget my favorite and most effective potentiator
Drumroll please.....
... Curcumin and BioPerine
Because it works!
Even with Tolerance no bs
Not only all these and or alone simple just use the Red Cambodian toward a blend of yours along with a nice Good White vein you have! Or a Good Green vein!
Lmk... seriously I hope more than one person takes these suggestions and tries em out and then see how good your RCambo burn feels... !
Best of luck to everyone
Oh and also! *
Same here,
If anyone has a decent size of the White Cambo or even just able to send someone (me) a sample of the White Cambodian I would be more than happy to either swap or pay you so i can try it out on my own.
(Good Batch # please) ...lol.
One more thing as well (because the burn was so subtle for me at first with just RCambo alone)***
——>
Reds effectiveness on me in general are usually 6/10
Greens usually are a 9/10 effectiveness
And
White usually are a 9.5/10 effectiveness
I hope all this made sense. God bless!

Yep, BioPerine potentiates opioids too. Note to self. Change thought pattern. That crap is still occupying too much space... Curcumin and BioPerine
