Has anyone had any luck purchasing this in any retail stores, or is it mainly an online thing? Also, what's the best buy for your buck? The extract, leaves....? Thanks.

Online thing, i've only done it once when Kratom Dragon was giving out their free samples. I'd get the extract.

mostly online but can score at headshops (if you dont mind being raped). start off with low doses of plain leaf. dont do extracts until you have some experience with plain leafs or know what effects the extracts or enhanced blends do.

I've heard some headshops do if fact carry it, but why? -especially when there are plenty of better quality vendors who specialize in ethnobotanicals and actually give a fuxk about quality and the botanical itself.

Whatever you do, don't buy any bullshit in pretty packaging, with some bullshit label, for example "purple sticky kratom" ...

Quality foliage. -Best bang for your buck, and best effect. Most extracts lack the full effect. Don't get me wrong there are a few good full spectrum extracts but still doesn't make sense if you can obtain quality foliage. Also, lets not forget that extracts of any kind will greatly raise your tolerance, and quickly.

Search this forum if you want some good sources for kratom. Kratomdragon/now known as sacredherbal use to be my favorite, however they’ve had a lot of ups and down concerning their quality, and I haven't ordered from them in quite some time, frankly I'm a little wary, it's a bitch wasting money.

And again, plain foliage. Extracts aren’t anything spectacular, frankly I’m not a big fan of the extracts and/or the isolates.

.peace.

I've never done kratom yet, but I'm very interested in it, and was thinking about making an order on the kratom king for a nice 10 gram chunk o' resin.

They have really nice prices, but i haven't heard much about them. I'm gonna order that ASAP, actually..

I ended up buying the sample pack from thekrantomking.com. The shipping was fast, 2 days. I have to say that I'm not too happy with the effects. Though, in all fairness, I only had 15grams and for my first attempt only took 2.5 grams, then a couple hours later another 5grams. This morning I finished the other 7.5 grams, just ate it 20 minutes ago, I'm hoping to feel something better than yesterday.

2.5g well that would explain it. you need 4-7g assuming its quality kratom. good luck though and becareful tolerance builds quickly.

I was hoping there wasn't a tolerance to it, damn. I'm actually feeling the 7.5 pretty good now.
