What does 10 kilos look like?

Post by IndelibleDotInk »

I'm not sure how much I have, between 5-10k I think?

There are three bins you can see on the left side of the mirror with kratom, one full bin viewable on the right mirror, a small box of samples under that which you can't see, and a full bin on the top right corner in the pic. Empty are the tote with blue top and rolly container against the right side of the wall. Plus all the open kratom.

I'm organizing and need a system to use. Right now I sort by vendor and sample size and color (but it's not alphabetized yet). So Botanical Bunnys, Denettes, TFH. Then large bags, medium bags, hmmmmmm.. just doing this made me have an idea... will get back to you guys! Hit this post up if you have ideas!

Aloha!

I am also always interested how people organize their stash. I am Just having my fix Rotation packs in one bin. The remaining ones i Hardly use are in a big bag in the basement.

This is my stash. I have over 50 kilos accumulated within two years. All my leaf is stored in these cooler bags that have a cooling liner inside to keep the temp down. They are waterproof and I have the individual kratom bags vacuum sealed with food saver bags. I spent a lot of money on this collection but I’m set for life. I still have three kilos coming soon. I want to see more collections as well please.

Damn dude that is nuts! I would have a hard time choosing what to use on a daily basis with that much 🤣 Totally jealous right now haha. Love the organization method of it all. I actually had to build a custom shelf for my closet to keep my own stash in, as of now just about every drawer has filled up, I think I have around 15kg. Honestly my comfortable goal would be 50, slowly but surely I’ll get there, especially since reducing my intake and implementing more breaks within my routine.

Wow - I was going to post a picture at first but now I'm shy.

Because I make capsules I have all my stuff in jars - mostly brown glass pharmacist jars that take up many shelves in my computer room. There is also 110 clear plastic jars that make up my rotation (so I have that many strains in rotation). I take a jar out of a tray and then rotate the other jars in order so that I only take the right strain once every two months or so. So nearly one whole wall of my office is filled with Kratom.

But I want to ask you guys - what do you do about your wives/significant others? Mine sees all I have and I get the third degree. Particularly if any more arrives. It's not like it's a money issue (we ain't rich but we own our own retirement dream home with pool, and have paid off cars with zero debt) but she can't understand why I'd want more. Actually, I take that back. *I* can't understand why I'd want more. I'm an old man and I can't possibly take all this Kratom in my lifetime. And yet... I still want more. Sigh. I think I'm sick.

Don't guilt yourself for enjoying the good life you built together. Also get into a hobby you can do together. Geocaching can be fun, esp. if you compete with people you know personally. K, it's nerdy, but still.

Dude, you are not sick, you're smart! You got enough in case of emergencies, droughts, etc, and you're a old timer that loves kratom. I only wish you would toss n wash or shake 5gms up in a bottle half full of warm water instead of those caps! It's all good, though. Mad respect, love your posts.

I want more too. Honestly, I think 50kg is a good stash goal. Seriously, though. And good care and rotation - replacing the used portion every so often, with new strains.

Peace.

Thanks for the kind words.

However - even *I* think I may have gone overboard at times. When the recent 7+kilo order arrived from TFH and I had trouble getting it in the house... maybe it's time to call it quits.

(OTOH, yesterday I ordered some White Elephant from Oties because folks were raving about it here. Sigh. I do think I have a problem).

The good news is that all this goodness from TFH is going to replace at least 1/4 of my current rotation. I've decided it's time to upgrade that whole thing and rather than have an 8 week rotation (as I would if I just added the TFH stuff in) I'm going to keep it to six. I think six weeks is WAY more than enough and this way it will be chock full of only the best.

Im so ghetto or lazy,you choose,that I just leave the order in the box it was shipped in. On one box I did put stuff I didnt really like and taped it shut and put away with marker saying back up( in case I run low). I dont have many different just denette,tfh,mitra and one other I cant remember(in the backup box). I think I have maybe 10 or 11 keys total right now, and thats the most I've ever had, There are 7or8 kilos in one box, then have like 6 or 7 bags (250g) laying around the kitchen that are all used to almost being gone.

Long as you're not spending the mortgage and food money on it, and long as you're not on insanely high doses, I believe you're good.

On TFH testing, I made a big order too, hope it ships soon, it's been a minute. I have total trust in them, and I imagine they are swamped right about now. But you know...the waiting!

They got me my order in three business days (I got the order "finalized" on Friday and received it Tuesday). Of course I'm in Florida so I don't know how USPS handles things nowadays elsewhere.

(And our house is paid off, as are both our cars. In fact, we have no outstanding debts other than we need to pay our HOA monthly fees and, of course, all the normal food/utilities/taxes everyone pays).

And I've lowered my dose - I was using 7-9 grams and now my dose is routinely 2.5-3 grams. And it's actually MUCH better at that lower dose (plus I rarely dose more than once a day). That's not the issue - the issue is I have so much I'll never use it in my lifetime. So the grandkids will be getting quite a surprise when they go through my stuff ("What the hell is THIS?!")

The last time I had a sale on the Trading Post I had all the kratom in my computer room. Some sold and packaged up already. Some in bins or sitting on the table next to my desk. My youngest
daughter happened to come over so I spent some time explaining things to her. Who to talk to, how to list it, how to sell it. I told her there's a lot of money in these bins, don't just let it go.
She's the only one of my kids that's ever sold anything online and the only one willing to take the time to so something like this.

I have more than I'll ever take in my lifetime too. I still dose under 1 gram and usually no more than 4x/day. I probably have around 40 kilos.

I think TFH is slammed with orders, my rather large order has had a shipping label created but no movement for a while. I’m not in a rush/it’s totally understandable. When it comes It’ll close to double my “stash” to ~10kg so starting to get up there but imo you can’t have too much Kratom, the more variety the better!
