Use Kratom responsibly to achieve good results

Kratom is the name given to one of the trees (or its leaves) originally from Southeast Asia where it has been used as a traditional medicine for centuries. The leaves are dried and crushed into a powder and sold in different strains. The popularity of this drug has seen its availability in the form of gel capsules in different potencies.

Kratom is consumed in different ways in different countries. The leaves can be chewed fresh as they are done in Southeast Asia. Or dry the leaves crush them to form a powder and mix with apple sauce or fruit juice and swallow. Alternately, boil the leaves for a long time making a paste and then using small quantities from this paste in hot water. This paste can also be mixed in black tea or herbal tea. In the West it is popular to make a tea out of the dried leaves.

The effects of this drug can vary according to dosage taken. It stimulates in low doses and sedates in high doses. It can also be used to relieve diarrhea and to treat opiate addition. People using this drug may feel some side effects like dizziness, nausea and constipation.

The varied effects of Kratom can be used positively to enhance body building and workouts. In low doses it acts as a stimulant and this can be used to stimulate the mind and body before a workout so that you are more focused and have more physical energy to achieve good results. If used in high doses it will act as a sedative which will numb any physical pain experienced after a strenuous workout or weight training session.

The recommended dosage is from 2 to 10 grams. For stimulation, take 3 to 6 grams and as a sedative take 7 to 9 grams. If you have capsules of Kratom then check the potency as most capsules contain a small amount of the drug. Check with the vendor or calculate how many capsules you would have to take to get the dosage you require. Sometimes it is more practical to use the powder as it comes in a higher potency. The effects of this drug usually last around 6 hours.

There are some precautions to take while having Kratom. Avoid driving when you have taken this drug as you may feel sleepy which could lead to accidents. Even if you are feeling energized you may start feeling sleepy very quickly. Also avoid dangerous activities like climbing ladders or using heavy tools while the drug is in your system. When using the drug for the first time, take in smaller amounts to see if you experience any side effects and slowly increase to achieve maximum results. Do not use it too frequently as it could become addictive.

In the United States and most of Europe, use of this drug is legal. However there are some countries in Southeast Asia and Australia that have declared it illegal. So it is imperative to use it responsibly according to the laws of the country you reside in.
