Kratom Tea

I do this regularly – as I have been doing for about 6 years or so – and find there to be a synergistic effect, with that being said Kratom (mitragyna speciosa) is not considered a tea. Feel free to mail me and I can offer some good vendors in both US and Canada. If you are not already aware, I encourage you to get involved with the American Kratom Association due to the ongoing legal battle that Kratom is involved in; keep in mind that Kratom is prohibited in some areas of the world, as well as certain states in the US and vendors will not sell it to you if you are in these areas.

Yeah, just reading few articles about it. This stuff is a bit tricky. U also have to be familiar with dosage and how to brew it, coz can be dangerous. U also can get high from it, that’s why it’s prohibited. I will check it out next time go to TH or Mal, but I guess it’s prohibited in China. Thanks for the tip.

It is not dangerous, and it is not prohibited for the reasons mentioned above. These claims have been debunked by numerous scientists and studies easily found online. You may as well call marijuana dangerous while you’re at it. The reason Kratom is prohibited in a few states is because they were attempting to ban problematic substances like spice and synthetic marijuana, not understanding that the chemical composition of those products have hundreds of different substances in them. They were designed to make it easy to change those products so that it’s virtually impossible to make illegal. For example, witch hazel (perfectly harmless if used as intended) can be one ingredient in it, or chamomile, and if those are banned they just replace it with another ingredient (some of the ingredients in it are also this way, they just change a number and it’s a different chemical. Most of these lab-made chemicals don’t have actual names, just numbers) and it’s perfectly legal again. They can contain rat poisons and things that people should not eat like witch hazel. The result is a very dangerous, cheaply manufactured ‘drug’ which is responsible for millions in emergency calls across the country and which has very little to do with Kratom the tree leaf or any of the natural herbs they just happen to have in them. If it did it would be banned universally in the US already. Kratom has been consumed for hundreds of years in a fashion similar to how tea is consumed without issue; picked off the tree and brewed or picked off the tree and chewed directly.

The Wikipedia article on it makes it sound at least somewhat dangerous and says they have not done enough research to say if it cures any disease or not. They list a bunch of negative side effects at the least. It is described as a drug, not a tea.

I was chewing coca leafs when I was in Bolivia. It was cool! got high in 4000m alt. :-) There is also coca tea ( in tea bags ) available there , which has been somehow reduced of forbidden substance and legalized.
Anyway, your tea is a bit “pioneer” business , and please don’t understand it as “bad”. I’m not saying that. I’m pretty open to natural medicine / herbs. Except of tea we also sell CNT ( Chinese traditional medicine ) , and even that is hard to export it due to the strict regulations of each country.
If you are happened to be in Kunming, I’d be happy to meet u and try it.

I have tried coca leaves as a ‘tea’ but it was the US version so not the same thing hardly I know the US really hurt boliva in their attempt to take down coca leaves in the name of drug enforcement :( and it really did nothing at all to stop cocaine …very shameful what our country has done to herbals and natural medicine- our ancestors had great wisdom and ginger is still the most powerful anti-nausea on the market. I hope coca leaves (and other herbals) make a come back and become less regulated I hear they are wonderful for altitude sickness. In some states they have plants that are banned due to misinformation; in Louisiana they banned Damiana because someone mixed up aphrodisiac with hallucinogen (no evidence of it being one whatsoever).

In my understanding Coca leaves are no where near as bad as the more processed Cocaine. One is deadly, the other a mild drug. This is what I have heard anyway.

I am in a lot of Kratom groups and know lots of people who take it. Really the only way that Kratom is dangerous is when it’s mixed with certain medications that can interact and cause things like seizures so people have to be careful. Or I’ve hesrd of some sketchy Kratom being laced with illegal drugs that can be deadly. But by itself it’s not dangerous. If you take too much you will throw up. People always gotta start at small doses. It’s almost impossible to OD in Kratom. Also while Kratom does make you feel a lot of things in your body it doesn’t NOT give you any type of high in any form. It’s not marijuana. Honestly it’s much more like CBD than marijuana. There’s too many misconceptions about Kratom out there. :(
