Kratom Potency question.

camMyco · 12-20-07, 21:59

I do enjoy the occasional ride on Kratom,
I ended up with some 15x. I usually don't
take extracts so I out it up for a month and
decided to try it last night. I have not had
any Kratom in 2 weeks.

OK I am a victim of new math, so I figured if
I normally eat 10- 00caps of Thai ground leaf,
one Packed 00 cap of 15x should be stronger right?
The buzz was no where near my normal ride on 10,
so is my math wrong? 1 unit of 15x does NOT equal
15 units of regular ground leaf?

? anyone

15x is in reality more like 5x ..So if u need to take the equal to 4.5 grams of Thai [10 caps] ..
That would be close to 2 caps in the 15X..

The math is only fuzzy, cause it takes 15 grams of leaf to make one gram of extract..
The extraction is not 100% efficient, so they never seem as strong as u would think...

I've only tried 15x one time and I noticed that commercial grade was better. I took 3g of 15x and it didn't even come close to 7g of commercial. IMO, kratom extracts are just a ploy to get you to spend more for less. Maybe I got a bad batch...who knows? Personally, I would stick with commercial grade. Maybe somebody else feels differently. ~Skunk
