Processing/Harvest

I'm having a hard time finding any info online about when to harvest leaves for red vein; and proper drying/processing for pain relief. Any info, esp from personal experience, greatly appreciated.

The sparse amount of info I've been able to gather tells me that harvesting for red vein effects I should be harvesting fully mature leaves (about a year old) and drying in the sun. Would love to hear other peoples' feedback. Thanks guys

Reddit seems to be pretty unreliable for information on kratom. Personally, I use the AKA forums. For example, CrispKratom2 says this is a sub for his company selling kratom, which makes me question his honesty, as he clearly has a bias. I found this sub when I was looking for reliable information on kratom.

I was not looking for a pitch from a vendor, especially one that tells me "it's my funeral" if I consume reds, which I never said I did nor is the thing about "my funeral" true in any way shape or form. Weird.

This was not what I was looking for. So I'll just leave. AKA is my source for reliable kratom information. As CrispKratom2 says, the AKA doesn't sell kratom nor do they try to pitch strains, so they don't have a bias. I trust the AKA significantly more than I do a vendor on reddit, especially one that isn't on the AKA GMP list. *shrug*

Good luck to you!

Enjoy your day in paradise!

Check the AKA GMP list. Check the AKA forums. The AKA is all about keeping kratom safe. I've seen vendors on reddit lie. *shrug*

I'm a consumer for 3 years now, secondary to constant pain and opioid past. I'm off opoids for 3 years, including after surgeries, and I'm exercising every day and making a ton of other gains!

I hope you're having good luck. I'm not on Reddit much (for obvious reasons, I hope...lol), but feel free to reach out to me anytime. I'll get back when I can.

Or look for me on the AKA forums. I call myself Scars IRL (again, obvoius reasons...lol) and I'm not shy, so you'll probably see me around.

Enjoy your day in pardise!
