Where is all the kratom coming from?

[Salt miner]

I've heard multiple different things from people. Some claiming that certain vendors get their kratom from the place the strains named after i.e. Thai comes from Thailand and indo comes from Indonesia ect. But I'm obviously not talking bout the strains not named after actual places. The only thing with that is its not legal to grow and export in certain places. Other people say that's all marketing and in all comes from relatively the same places. So where is it actually coming from because I could not find a definitive answer. And who is right is it all marketing or is there any truth to the strain names.

The former.

There is Malaysian but it's a whole different thing. Taste, smell, effects....(in my opinion.) How many though...?

1. Socal True Malaysian Jambu
2. Socal True Red Malay

2017 (were they supposed to be the same, because they don't seem so.)

KOG Green Malaysian (super duper)
KOG Red Malaysian Jambu

2018 (?)

TFH True Malaysian
TFH Malaysian Elephant

2019 (?)

Liza's Red Jambu (same as KOG I THINK, seems the same)

2018?


I have gotten my hands on all of these batches and besides the KOG Green Malaysian, they all have a similar profile. The Green Malaysian is out of this world. They all are really, but that Green one is just...amazing. I have but a few doses left, anyone got any?

They are absolutely different than Indo stuff.

The Thailand strains from KOG didn't hit for me for shit. I concluded that's just me though. People seemed to like those when they were out.

I also remember HS having Yellow Vietnam origin : Vietnam and Thai MD origin : Thailand on the bags. I still have a Yellow Vietnam in my stash to prove this. Fuckers! Why lie about this? Literally ZERO kratom comes from Vietnam, and it has always been that way.

Almost all kratom is from Indonesia and the exact sourcing depends on the vendor. Bulk kratom generally comes from a U.S. supplier, small batch either comes from an Indonesian supplier or directly from a farmer in Indonesia.

95% or so of Kratom comes from Indonesia.

As stated in previous post, there have been some “true” Malaysian, but it’s very rare. Again, it’s highly illegal to export from Malaysia, as it’s illegal there.

These “strains” are mostly marketing.

It’s also illegal in Vietnam, and only just recently became legal again in Thailand.

Mivanqua and Nique both said it right.
