Today i accidentally dosed 2 grams instead of 1. Normally my burn feels good for 1 1/2 to 2 hours and then fades to very litte by hour 3. Some strains obviously last longer.
So anyway, it is now almost 3 hours after I accidentally took a double dose, and I still feel really great--it's definitely lasting a lot longer. I have burned this strain before, so I know it's not the strain alone. I am wondering if this means I could take more per dose, but less frequently (like to stay around 4 grams total a day, max). I did have a headache around hour 1.5, but am thinking it was attributable to the heat (I was outside in 90 degree heat for 2 hours--stayed hydrated, but it was HOT).
Thoughts? Anyone notice something similar...or different? I am going to try this experiment again but without the heat LOL.
Higher dose but less frequently

Re: Higher dose but less frequently
Sounds like you may benefit from staggering your doses. Have you tried it? I start with 4-5g, then take 2-3g every 30 min until pain subsides or I get the effects I'm after. This way, I can stretch the burn and I don't end up taking more than I need.

Re: Higher dose but less frequently
I find that instead of doing one dose I split my dose in half and do them 30-60 minutes apart. I don't get as much peak but the effects last a lot longer. Since I dose for chronic pain it works out fine by me.

I burn primarily for chronic fatigue and depression, and need consistent energy throughout the work day.

I have done this as well. Extends my pain relief for considerably longer than taking entire dose at once. This is a good "bad pain day" technique for sure. Good advice.

Agree 100%. I do this pretty much daily. I have Multiple Sclerosis (which can be a bitch) - but with kratom and dosing like this: most days I forget I even have MS (which is awesome)
