Smoking With Respect

People use kratom for all sorts of different reasons. It is a versatile herb that can help you with a wide range of symptoms and problems. Some use it for pain relief or help with addiction recovery. But others use it in a manner similar to caffeine. Their goal is to be more alert and aware. How you use kratom will depend, in part, on the effects you wish to get from it. If your most desired effect is increased alertness, then here are some tips to follow when taking kratom.

Look for white vein or green vein kratom.

There are three different primary strains of kratom: red vein, green vein, and white vein. Of the three, red vein tends to be the most sedating, and so it is not a great choice if your goal is to be energized. Both white and green vein kratom, on the other hand, tend to have more of a stimulating effect. Some people like green vein kratom better because it tends to give them mental clarity and increased mental endurance. Others like white vein because it makes them feel more energetic overall. If you're not sure which you'd prefer, give both a try and compare them.

Keep your dose low.

Sometimes people take a little kratom — a gram or two — and feel a bit more alert. So they then figure that if they take more kratom, they'll feel even more alert. However, this strategy can backfire. Kratom is stimulating at a low dose, but if you take more than a low dose, you can start to feel tired. And if you take even more than that, you may start to feel nauseous. So, it really is important that you stick with a low dose of about 1-3 grams when your goal is alertness and energy.

Take more before it wears off. 

Kratom lasts a few hours. Its exact effective period varies a bit between people. When you're using it to stay alert, you are often best off taking more before your initial dose wears off completely. As soon as you start feeling a bit less alert or energetic, take another dose. You'll then maintain your alert state rather than having your energy drop really low before you raise it again.

Kratom can be great for increasing your energy levels, but you do need to choose the right strain and follow a few strategies. Contact a kratom supplier for more information.
