I take Amanita Muscaria about every 2 months.
They are prolific here in August and I try to collect enough for the year.
I am hopelessly addicted to caffeine and take Ibuprofen when needed.
I am really interested in Kratom for pain, but haven’t tried any yet.
If you do try Kratom, don’t go for them extract pills. Dry ground leaf powder is the way to go.
From there you can make your own capsules, stir it into smoothies, or just sump it(scoop on the back of the tongue with a quick chaser, lol) like I do, lol.
As with any substance, set and setting can be important. After all you u have no idea what it’ll do to your body. Start with small doses like cannabis edibles, test, and retry again later. 
There’s multiple “types” of Mitragyna speciosa, but I think they’re all basically the same. Some say they each do different things. Could be true, because they’re from different regions. Though I’ve not looked to deep into it.
It seems pretty common for Kratom to act as a stimulant in small doses, and a sedative in large ones. I find this to be true with my body. As do most. So…if you overdo it, you might not be able to walk.
Remember that there the potential for addiction with anything for most of us. And I’ve heard reports of Kratom withdrawals. Who wants that? 
I generally dose twice a week for a couple months, then none for a couple months. If I can tolerate pain without. I also don’t want a high tolerance. Just want it to work. It’s bad enough sumping down five grams, lol.
Dont know if you needed any of this information.
Just figured I’d put it out there for everyone.
Questions are welcomed.
NONE, just the pharmaceutical poison.
Nothing, I take nothing other than smoking marijuana, thats why its so damn special to me.
I appreciate the info.
Does it manage your pain with a lower “stimulating” dose?
Agreed, do not use kratom extracts/pills from vape shops. Only use the dry-powder of crushed up leaf. Like you can find here
You can get a kilo for $100-150, which will last you several months.
I’ve taken it every single day for 7-8 years & couldn’t be happier. It’s a great plant. Though like @blowdout2269 said, it’s best to use it for 2 days at a time. Daily use = mild dependence develops, you might have a runny nose & trouble sleeping for a week if you stop taking it.
Not really sure. I just went straight to my 4-6 gram dose. It works well. But 7 can be a lot with some grapefruit juice on an empty stomach.
I’m talking full on opiate high.
Thanks for the link.
1-2grams is more than enough to start @Dope_Heffalump please do not take 4 or 7 at a time, it’s totally unnecessary, unless you’re on the floor in crippling intractable pain. Damn @blowdout2269 you’re hard in the paint!
Damn, must be some good stuff!
Thats a great value per kilo as well.
I need to figure out what type to order.
Chris recommends different types for different energy levels.
Crestor! I’m old
Yeah, I am. I’m also a bigger dude.
I definitely might be a poor example, because of my tolerance for opiates/opioids and similar alkaloids. I abused them A LOT in my younger years, lol.
For the record, yes @Dope_Heffalump, I agree with Gonzo. Dont do what I do to start.
Kratoms not bad… I’d advise downing the capsules with orange juice, the acidity of the OJ helps the kratom break down faster in the gut.
Any one have experience with O-desmethyltramadol (O-DSMT ) It’s the main active metabolite of Tramadol?
I smoke pot. I eat mushrooms too. I have about 25 + different spore prints but I find more shrooms than I could ever grow. From early spring until early winter, I find them almost every day. I have drank alcohol for most of my adult life. My drinking runs in cycles. 7-10 years drunk and then 7-10 years sober. I have been mostly sober for about 10 years and I can feel my life shifting to the 10 year drunk cycle. I am not an alcoholic. I am a drunk. I only drink when I choose to. It is mostly a way to deal with boredom and a need for adventure. I could never live the same way forever. I get bored with the same thing all the time. Variety is the spice of life. 
Yes, I had an allergic reaction and no pain relief at all
I only use marijuana, no other drugs for 30 years, because I used up my quota 
, now, the drug is me.
