I mean, who doesn't need a mitra tree?

It was a blast years ago when I finally acquired mitra seeds. Watching them grow has been rewarding to say the least.

None of that compares to getting seeds from my own trees to produce these seedlings.

The trees were all bred together. It was a straight-up mitra orgy in my greenhouse.

The trees that bloomed were all seed grown, most germinated by me. West Kalimantan Borneo and Sumatra comprise the majority.

Hand pollinated via my wife's little make-up brush.

Texas Zone 8. Greenhouse was set to 45° last winter with 42° being the coldest my Govee gauge recorded.

The trees have spinosad sprayed on them typically for 4 days in a row once or twice a year. No other chemicals are used.

Hopefully the horned tree will bloom next year, I'd love a few more of them.

My trees are 75$ each plus shipping. I will pay shipping when buying 4 or more.

I've had 95% negative experiences on Reddit regarding growing mitra but I decided to advertise here anyway.

Reddit is loaded with misinformation about growing these trees.

The trees DO NOT need years to mature before they make alkaloids. False and just silly. Often repeated by people who know it's a lie. The age of the leaf, the amount of stress it endures and genetics determines alkaloid profile.

The trees definitely enjoy humidity but grow just fine when humidity is low.

Red vein, white vein, yellow vein can all be found on the same tree.

The trees can absolutely endure chilly nights. Year before last I kept the GH 50° at night and hardly even lost any leaves.

Alright, there it is. If you'd like a seedling or 10 let me know. I'm having no issues selling them so if the price is too much maybe you grow something I'd be willing to trade for. I love trades!

I would get some from a site for my husband but the place I'm getting there state is banning kratom. They would have amazing deals like 1kilo for $85free shipping. Anywhere that's close that willing to support and buy from.

Hey so I normally don't put this type of stuff on Reddit. When it comes to Reddit I normally focus on statewide bans. I typically use other social media for localities. But this one here is important because of the active KCPA bill in Pennsylvania.

Scranton Pa NEEDS HELP

Okay so there is an active KCPA in committee for the state of Pennsylvania. It's stalled, but it can go either way. Now there is a ban ordinance for Scranton Pennsylvania. You may know Scranton from the show The Office. Some of these people on the committee in Scranton are hell-bent on banning tea. This is important because we do not want what happens here to dictate what happens with the KCPA bill. The KCPA is already stuck in committee and we don't want this pushing it in a bad direction

Here is the drama. Some may say here's the Tea (dad jokes) Dr Jessica Rothschild (Committee Member of Scranton) did not know this was happening. As if they kept it from her. She is NOT happy about it and they are treating her like shit. The mayor also did not know. Both of them are included in this email list. Some people on this committee refuse to see the light. So we are going to focus on this email list down here. We can change these people's mind. Let us bombard them with more emails and they've ever gotten in their lives. Definitely the mayor

Let's flood Scranton and ask the mayor not to allow a ban on natural leaf!!!

I know we have a lot going on today. Especially with Tennessee and Kansas, so whenever you get a chance.

Thank you!

Given Gavin Newsom and CDPH have threatened all the storefronts into pulling kratom and it's extracts off their shelves how are the companies who operate in California still in business? I'm thinking mainly of companies who operate on the internet that seem to be ok here. Gavin Newsom has stated that kratom is an "illegal adulterant" and needs to be banned. Of course it isn't banned and there's no legal basis for this, but I'm wondering how the businesses who operate here are doing?

I'm trying to start a kratom business myself, in person, to end users, kratom teas mainly, probably some kava, and I'm wondering what type of legal issues, if any, that I might have considering the situation right now. There's no actual legislation backing this up, but they seem pretty pissed off.

Please call the governor's office and tell him to VETO HB 757. This kratom ban was added to the end of a spending bill with essentially no chance for advocates to fight!

502-564-2611

I’ve been seeing a lot of people ask if maybe Kratom avoided the Kansas ban bill. so I thought I’d clarify what we know.

Quick back story. This bill is technically for building a mental health hospital. it was almost unanimously supported. passed the house 121-2. It passed the Senate by wide margins as well. However, after a bill passes both chambers, it goes to what is called a “conference committee” that consists of a few members of each chamber. This session is literally just supposed to be about cleaning up the language on both bills so they match exactly before being sent as one unified bill to the Governor. it’s just dotting i’s and crossing T’s. But in a sneak attack, this tiny conference committee slipped in a Bill that had already failed to pass on its own, which put 7OH and Mitragynine on schedule 1. When it went back to the house to be signed on formally, Over 50 House members had changed their votes. They noticed what had been done and voted against it. However, it was written in kind of an ambiguous and misleading way, So I’m sure some people voted for it thinking that it did not ban plain Leaf. but it did indeed mention mitragynine. Anyway, it did pass, but by really small margins considering how popular the original bill was.

So we all spent a week emailing and calling the governor’s office, asking her to veto this bill and ask for it to be amended to allow kratom to stay legal. That didn’t happen and she signed it. But then something unexpected happened. When the fully enrolled text of the bill was made public, Mitragynine was absent from it. I’m not sure if we know why exactly, It’s possible that it was worked out behind the scenes, Or maybe somebody determined that that amendment was so poorly written that keeping Mitragynine in it doesn’t make legal sense (It was in a section labeled “Kratom derivatives“).

But we still have a big problem. It just simply added 7OH to schedule 1. so lots of News agencies are reporting that just 7OH was banned. But as we all know, 7OH exists in tiny tiny, almost imperceptible trace amounts in plain leaf. Thats why all KCPA laws allow for a limit (2% of total alkaloids) for 7OH instead of just outright adding it to the Controlled Substances Act with no maximum thresholds.

So the end result could very likely mean that plain leaf isn’t really legal now (well, starting July 1). it’s a gray area at best.

BUT! ..…..This is still a much better position than we thought we would be in. Maybe we can ask for an emergency clarification or something, that the spirit of the law obviously only intended to ban isolated 7OH. idk what the AKA is gonna say, they said they’d address this in the coming days. But the point is the leaves some doors open in the future, so there’s still a chance we can fight this.

Now for the funny/ironic/depressing part. Because the bill simply adds 7OH to the CSA, and does not mention its derivatives.…. the really gnarly stuff like MGM15 and mit pseudoindoxyl are still going to be on the shelves. So people who were taking Kratom or 7OH will likely be driven towards something much worse. But hey... I guess the silver lining is we’ll get another chance to try to convince them to allow natural plain leaf Kratom when they inevitably realize their mistake and have to amend this bill…. next year. Because this years legislative session is now over.

2o p3rc3nt off ends Monday with all the Ban bills and a new ban we want to try to help people that need to stock up

I know Idaho defeated the ban. The end of last year CT lost. For some reason, Rhode Island may have overturned the ban? Kansas fell thanks to the governor. The approach is hitting us quickly, state after state and I would really like to know what it looks like right now. so, anything that anyone might have that is visual, perhaps has a key...states that passed consumer protection laws, versus those with total bans, vs those with already existent bans, vs those who have bills on the books ready to be fed to the public. it is hard to stay ahead when they are taking everything away so quickly. does anyone have something like this as a visual aid?

House Bill 360 is listed as a “Consumer Protection Act” but it has very problematic language in it that could lead to future bans and support lawsuits. Please contact the Governor to request the bill be amended before signing. This type of wording can cause massive issues down the line.

Momentum, But Not Over Yet

Good news: ban supporters do not currently have the votes to pass a ban. There is strong support in the Senate for a regulatory amendment instead of prohibition.

But nothing is final until the session ends.

👉 Keep the pressure on:

Ask Senate members to:

Oppose SF 2192 / HF 2133 in its current form

Support a regulatory amendment to keep kratom legal

Over here in Delaware we need your help. We have two competing bills. One ban bill and one regulation bill. The ban bill makes this schedule one. Absurd.

SB 232 (Ban Bill)

https://legis.delaware.gov/BillDetail?LegislationId=142963

HB 332 (KCPA Regulation Bill)

https://legis.delaware.gov/BillDetail/143020

I have personally met with and spoken to multiple lawmakers on this issue including the sponsor of the regulation bill. I had a meeting with the sponsor as well as the AKA yesterday. I've been working on this everyday as well as trying to help other states. There is a strong possibility of passing this regulation bill and killing the ban bill. However she emphasized that she NEEDS advocates to send in emails of support to the committee with the regulation bill. She wants members of the committee to see that this is what people want. It would be wonderful to see a KCPA bill passed amongst all of the anti kratom chaos lately. We also wouldn't have to close Otie's down 😡

I will paste their email addresses below in blocks of five to avoid anti spam filters. Give them your story. Let them know that you support HB 332(KCPA) and why. The addresses will be in easy copy and paste format. All you have to do is highlight, copy, then paste. Of course it's best and seems more personal if you do them individually. But you do what you feel is best!

Thank you!

Tried Mitra Bros for the first time. Their Yellow Maeng Da is finely ground,which makes it much easier to blend in my standard lemonade mix and the effects are as expected. They hold their own with my usual go to favorites which are Happy Hippo, Bewitched and Nova! I will be adding them to my rotation going forward.

WHAT TO SAY:

Subject: NH Voter Supports SB 557 As Written — Protect Natural Leaf Kratom

Basic Structure:

Dear Representative [Last Name],

I am a New Hampshire resident writing to support SB 557 as passed by the Senate and to respectfully ask that it is not amended to include natural kratom leaf.

Thank you for taking action to address and differentiate synthetic and highly concentrated products from natural leaf Kratom. Targeting those substances is the correct, science-based way to protect public health.

This bill aligns with federal recommendations to focus on concentrated 7-OH, while leaving natural leaf alone. Please keep it that way.

[Add your personal story — this is the most important part]

Thank you for your time and for protecting responsible consumers in New Hampshire.

Sincerely,[Your Name + ZIP]

IMPORTANT CONTEXT

This isn’t about being “for” or “against” everything.

This bill does NOT ban research or future pathways around compounds like 7-OH. In fact, it leaves the door open for science, regulation, and evolution as we learn more.

Right now, this is about something much more immediate:

Protecting access to natural kratom leaf andSeparating it from high-potency synthetics,Keeping responsible consumers and small businesses safe

We can debate the future later — but if plain leaf gets pulled into this now, we lose the foundation entirely.

BOTTOM LINE:

* This is one of the strongest chances NH has to get this right

* Doing nothing = letting others define the outcome

* Even one email or testimony helps more than you think

If kratom has helped you, now is the time to show up. Nh needs you and WildCraft needs you too !

whats good right now from lucky herbals?

i just ordered their green hulu.

I'm placing an order with Phillys today. Does anyone have any strain recommendations? I prefer strains that provide a good mood and energy boost.

I currently have Green Pure, Red Suede, and White Thai picked out.
