I wish I was more friendly to White strains
When I first tried Kratom 2 years ago, White strains (even in very low doses) sedated me and gave me the jitters. I never seemed to be able to get the energetic properties from Whites that so many folks rave about. With the exception of using them very sparingly in blends, I put them aside, focusing more on Reds and Greens. Fast forwarding to present day, my beloved Reds aren't as effective as they used to be, but Greens have "tagged in" and I'm enjoying them like never before. I've recently started "testing" Whites again and have found I now get some energy and euphoria and even some pain relieving benefits from them, but even at 40-60% of my normal dose I still get those pesky "shakes" (not wobbles... I mean jittery like one would get from too much caffeine). And the energy seems to be short-lived (more than I used to get at least) and after 2 hours or less transitions into sedation. I guess Whites and I weren't meant to be. Whites in blends are probably still my best bet. Anyone else react like this to Whites?

Hi KrateAndVape, I'm pretty much the same as you I can only do whites in blends if not whites make me jittery as hell and does not seem to matter at what dose, I guess whites just don't agree with me.

I usually blend greens with Whites for my morning doses. For most strains it is 60 green 40 white. For "faster whites I can go as much as 70 green 30 white.

Re: I wish I was more friendly to White strains
On my next day off, I'm thinking of blending all 3 of GoE's O.G.s together. 40% each Green & Red and 20% White (yes, I'm a wus lol). Individually, these strains have worked great for me. I'm very curious how they'll blend.BlendsAreMyFriends wrote:I usually blend greens with Whites for my morning doses. For most strains it is 60 green 40 white.

Re: I wish I was more friendly to White strains
I'm exactly the same. I have begun to try whites more frequently now, and I don't get the jitters as much as I used to...and they don't last very long if I get any effects at all.
