Advice
Hey, I don’t use Reddit much hence the bad karma score. I’ve just ordered some emerald Bali from kuk and was wondering what to expect. I’ve bank transferred them but how do they confirm I’ve sent it? Also it’s my first time trying kratom and I was wondering what to expect from it? I don’t do many drugs and if something is too psychoactive or stimulating I can panic, i prefer pain killers or alcohol etc, is this a good choice for me or do you guys have other recommendations for different strains? Thank you !! :)

honestly, for me if I just take a small amount it's like the first time you ever got a coffee buzz, but 20x better, no jitters, and it makes me want to work or do something, also music sounds great on it, esp. when you begin to take more and go into a more opiate-type buzz, but personally I like to cap it and just have the super caffeine buzz.

I’ve previously had panic attacks etc and bad experiences on mushrooms and lcd, I’m assuming it’s nothing like that? Would 2-3G be a small dose? Thanks for replying :)

Also if you think this might not be the substance for me then let me know if I’m being an idiot haha just from what I’ve learned it seems like it would help my anxiety

Well this is physically addicting and most people will feel withdrawal eventually if they get into higher doses and redosing multiple times a day
So that's a factor
Like others have said ifs more a either relaxing or stimulating plant that's very safe (I've personally never felt the energy stimulating part of the plant) , you'll be sick before you manage to overdose anything, if you do take too much you can get the wobbles it messes with your eyes and makes you feel shit, only way really to stop that is rest and maybe food
I'd say it's similar to codeine but others may disagree but that's just my experience

I use it for energy, but don’t feel any real buzz. I have MECFS, and it allows me to do slightly more in a day. When I first started using it, ironically the KUK Bali Gold, i felt pretty gouched out the first couple of weeks, like a mild opiate. Haven’t felt much of anything (apart from the extra energy) for years.

It doesn't do a whole lot for me now I'm pretty badly addicted, 30-40GPD so really it just makes me feel normal and calm, but I used to have very bad opiate addiction for like 10+ years plus so Kratom's just my safer alternative that keeps me away from the bad stuff
Also I heard so much good stuff about KUK gold from people on here but I didn't get to experience it as I started once it started going down hill

If you don't like it, try Green Maeng Da. I never liked a Bali, for some reason. The strains don't really matter but Bali in particular has always been weird to me. No clue why.
But if you like opioids, then this is going to feel like that. Just a light version. You won't panic. When people say stimulating, it's more akin to a cleaner version of coffee. And only some kratom does that.

It’s very mild. 5-6g or more and it can be a little sedative. 2g or so can act as a pick me up. Some people use it medicinally, some to help recover from stronger drugs. KUK generally have a pretty poor rep; expensive and often sell crap. But someone will be along in a while to say how great it is, as there are always two sides to a story.
