Mystic Island Maeng Da Review

I pulled the trigger on samples of the only 3 they had in stock. Red, green, and white MD. So far just tried the green but DAMN I'm impressed. I have a number of joint issues (degenerative disc, herniated ones which pinch nerves on real bad days, fibro, arthritis, as well as spine deformities. At 31 years old) exacerbated by 4 kids (two of which are feral boy toddlers and an 8 year old with special needs who is damn near as big as I am. Almost 4 ft 9 and 87 lbs to my 5 ft 3 and 125) plus some PTSD, anxiety, etc etc etc... just to give a little back story on what I use for.
Anyway. It's been raining and cold for the better part of a week and my Rx meds just haven't worked (opiod, muscle relaxer, anti inflammatory patch) so mail came today and I cracked open the GMD. Took a HALF normal dose. Had to estimate because my kid broke my scale so I went probably lower than half to be on the safe side. In a little under an hour and my pain is gone. GONE. I'm off my heating pad. I've gotten the 2 yo off the counter probably close to 20 times without twinges. No pain shooting down my legs.
Euphoria solid but not that super sedating euphoric feeling. Decent mood. When my new scale comes tomorrow I can update with the dose and the red and white reviews too.

Haha is it your first kratom? Congrats btw
I ask because I've been RA about 15 years and I ate hydro, soma and .125 xanax for sleep (i am narco vigilant. It wakes me up)
And after my first taste of kratom I was amazed and we sell botanicals*. Have taken 5 hydro since 2011 because they were a change....not as good as kratom tho
(*I guess I can't have my sig line because we sell a lot besides kratom?)

Has anyone else tried any of the 3 Maeng Da's Mystic has left? With as many that post about Mystic, I would think more than one person has tried them? I just ordered a bit of the green to sample. Anyone else?

I got the Green MD a couple weeks ago when they posted a few greens that lasted on the site for about a day. Glad I decided to check that day. I got Green MD, Green Bali, and Green Malay. The Green MD was pretty good- a little faster than the others but still had decent euphoria and pain relief. The Green Bali was surprisingly good - very euphoric. And the Green Malay was - well, Mystic Island Green Malay. I enjoyed them all, but for me the Green MD took 3rd place. I also got a 75 of White MD with that order but I didn’t get any of the Red MD. The White was decent- had some good energy and mood.

The PMD that Smiley’s has right now is pretty energetic. I enjoyed it very much. I’ve read a lot of praise about Liza’s PMD. I just got my first order from them today but I haven’t tried any yet.

Thier pricing many have. We used it for shelf for awhile.
But its been a batch or 3 since then and mystic changes batches pretty quick, so "I don't know about this batch" is why I think more people don't chime at a time and the ones that do just got some.
They are a good vendor for price and service every batch tho
Fran's Green Dayak was maybe the "freshest" energetic (x2 or 3) Green I have had in some time.
We bought mostly malay and bali. I was hoping the Dayak would be similar and it is, if you mixed both and cranked the volume up. I've had duller whites!

First order from MI. Been burning since about Aprilish? My nurse friend has many of the same issues I have and suggested I try when I complained of perc tolerance

The red is pretty decent! Already starting to feel pain relief. Will see how much further it goes since I usually look for more relief from a red (esp an MD) but it hasn't been all that long since my dose and I cut to 2/3 my normal just as a caution. Waiting for a metric fuck ton of samples to come in. Hudson valley mega pack and one from Smiley's also I grabbed one and some extract from enchansiosa... green Maha I think but I've liked his stuff in the past. Great dude. I really shouldn't shop when I'm hurting because now my husband is asking if that's my Christmas present...fine by me haha!

Did that red sit well with you? I got a kg of the red md this past wkend. I'm not sure how I'm feeling about it. Maybe I'll try brewing a tea. I've been strictly buying MI and don't want to speak ill of them. I've been pretty satisfied with all products tried. I'm on the fence about this batch.
Edit: I did cut my dose in half even so Im worried about it not agreeing with my stomach. I haven't had issues with that with MI much. But a new batch has a new profile of alkaloids and I'm sure I just have to get use to it. I'm going to continue to support MI.

I love the PMD so far. For me, it was a bit less then energetic (still there but not as much as greens regularly hit me.). Today was the first day I tried it in a morning blend with their gold elephant. I took about 1.5 of each when I woke up, which was a bout three hours earlier then usual, so around 10-1030 am. I got the wobbles for the first time without alcohol involved. At soon as it hit, my first thought was, "Oh sh@7! I'm completely fluffed!" Luckily it cleared up in about an hour or so. Overall, my favorite green so far. Just have to take a pinch less if I dose it first thing in the morning. Lol.

Got my Green MD from the few leftovers at Mystic...pretty disappointed...not much to it for me at all...Wife didn't care for it either...will spend some more time with it and hope for the best. I sort of knew better, but you never know. Still looking for FAST greens if anyone runs across some...got some Smiley Time on the way, but for the most part his greens are Mid Spec this batch, so he says. Merry Christmas everyone!

Same here, got mine over the weekend and it was disappointing compared to other Mystic stains. Normally I get pretty good results with 1.3 - 1.6 grams, with this batch I had to take 2 grams to feel anything. Going to put it away for a month or 3 and revisit. On the bright side, one of my current favorites (HRVA's PMD) did pretty much nothing for me the for about the first dozen doses and then it really started to shine. Hoping for the same with this Mystic GMD as I ordered half a kilo of it.

I burned Liza’s Kalbar Premium Green the other day and found it to be pretty fast. I’ll have to blend it with something a little slower to enjoy it. Someone else mentioned Christopher’s Green Vietnam. I’ve got a bag of it but mine’s not very fast. Good mood and it’s euphoric, but not very energetic for me. That batch was bought in September.

Damn, i was thinking about doing a kilo half and half of the red and green MD, but I'm not so sure now after reading these reviews. I've been worried that the new stuff won't be as good as the summer/fall leaf that got all bought up in the panic. Someone said they will be restocking again soon, so, hopeful.
