Hey erybody!
I joined up months ago and never gave this place a shot. After the big Reddit crack down on all the kratom subs a while ago, I migrated to discord. I’m a mod in a couple kratom pages over there. Just wanted to reach out to other enthusiasts and like minded individuals. Thanks for having me.

Hey peeps!

After you contribute some relevant posts, you can gain access to private messaging and our trading post if you so desire. The exact requirements are posted at the top of the general forum... It's a great way to sample kratom you might not have access to (private vendors, vintage kratom, samplers, more of a specific batch you love, etc.)

Thanks for joining!

Hi All,
I was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy about 16 months ago. I am in pain 24/7 ranging from 8-9 to 4-5. I use marijuana and it helps. About 2 months ago I started trying Kratom. It helps me more than any of the pharma pills. I am here to talk about my experiences with using it and learning more about using it. I am about 71, and it looks like I will need to use it daily. I can only go about 12 hours without using it...the pain gets hard to take.
I live on 23 acres of Mid-Missouri "forest". I have been living pretty simply for over 35 years. We use to raise hogs and goats. Of course have chickens and we have two cats. I have been with my girl friend for over 30 years here. She is amazing. I am a retired cabinet installer/maker-home repair also, musician
( guitarist ), and house cleaner. I am glad to have found this forum as I think I will be a Kratom user until the end. :D

Hey everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself. My names Josh.

Like many of the newer members I've migrated here after this last batch of reddit bans. I've been using kratom for nearly five years now.

I'm excited to be here and learn more about this amazing plant and try out some new small batch/private vendors I've never had the chance to get into!

I just placed my first private vendor order with smiley time herbals and can't wait to get the chance to try more!

I think alot of the veterans were already over here. I've frequented here but was more consistent on reddit and kratom discords.

I do enjoy being more consistent here now though!

Hello all! I’ve been lurking a while and learned so much from others here and hope to pay it forward. I tried to reply to a specific post yesterday and my message wasn’t approved. I suspect I may need to be more active so here I am!

Hello all,

I am proud to be another refugee from the Reddit group! :lol:

I've been using kratom off and on since I first read about it in the early to mid-2010's. I say "off and on" because for the longest time, I couldn't find a brand (or strain) that worked consistently. Back then, the best stuff I found was through a website called Sage Wisdom Botanicals. They used to sell the dried leaves at a steep price, but they were great for tea. Thankfully, the market has since opened up, with multiple vendors and plenty of competition. That can only be a good thing for the user, and I have certainly benefitted from it.

Anyhow, enough rambling. It's great to be here among like-minded folks who are eager to share their knowledge. I look forward to exchanging thoughts and information with all of you.

Cheers!

Hi I’m from Charleston, SC and been using Kratom for 3 years now. It completely got me off horrible hard drug addictions (pcp, clonazolam amongst others) and alcohol too. I’m a big fan of faster greens but dabble in all the various colors from time to time. Powder made into a hot tea is my jam, no extracts. Anyway, I’m glad to be a part of the double m community and look forward to contributing in any way I can.

Hey everyone! I’m new here, but have been using kratom for about 7 years. I’m so glad I found double m- the kratom subreddits can be a hostile place and people here seem kind and knowledgeable. Really glad to be here with all of you, and hope to learn more about different vendors.

Hi my name is not slim shady 😁 but I found this on Reddit and figured I'd join the community. I'm super chill and I try not to spread hate or anger no matter the circumstances. I live in Kentucky and in my kratom drawer ATM I have a lot of dragons den white euphoria 2 bags, 2 bags of white kapuas, 2 limited gold, limited green, green kapuas x2, 1 happy hippo rainbow meang da, super speciosa white Thai, I also have Lizas botanicals white zombie enhanced, white aceh enhanced, white labai, super white md, enhanced super white. That's what I got in rotation throughout my days but my heart lies with white strains. The reason I have other strains besides white is every once in a while I'll use a green or yellow or gold which ever ya wanna call yellow. I also have bewitched botanicals white hulk 1.87 mit %, wicked white, enhanced moon ,melancholy, and a kratom honey straw lol oh and the free sample pack from kats botanicals.

Good morning, Double M!

I'm a newish kratom user, I was introduced by a dear friend after I had a significant surgery for which my pain was not being managed effectively. In addition to a few pain issues, I have generalized anxiety disorder that I don't treat with medication, so kratom has been incredibly beneficial to me in multiple ways. I've spread the gospel to some friends and family, and it's so beautiful to see a plant changing people's lives for the better.

Thanks for this forum and a safe space to connect with fellow enthusiasts. Looking forward to participating!

Hello everyone!

I discovered this forum a few years ago on Reddit I believe, tried a couple vendors and have been using benni botanicals ever since.

I joined again because I wanted to share the kratom usage tracking app I taught myself computer programming to build!

I wanted to use an app like this myself, and since one didn't exist, I learned how to make it happen. It can also help you stick to a taper schedule as well.
Looking for a way to track your usage? Get my app here

Hello everyone! Don't think I've joined a forum like this since 2005! Kinda fun.

I was getting sick and tired of the reddit kratom community on reddit and its censorship (not sure what else to call it at this point) regarding kratom vendors... kind of bizarre in my opinion. Really glad I found this place!

Hello! New to this board. I just found it. Anyway, I'm Helga, I'm almost 70 and have been taking kratom for years for RLS. I was actually on clonipin for 20 yrs. You know how that works lol.. start at .5, then that stops, so go to 1 mg, that stops working, go to 1.5, then 2 mg. The clonipin didn't keep breakthrough RLS and I have no idea who recommended kratom. Took me 2 yrs to get down to 1 mg of clonipin. I'm still on the clonipin as it keeps me from having RLS during the day. I've had RLS since (Restless Leg Syndrome) since I was 9 or so, a very long time.

Anyway, I use kratom at night only to relax the back of my legs. Most nights it works well. I find the red and white works best. Green is very energizing for me... so not good at night lol.

Anyway, nice to be here.

I get RLS too, only at night. If I have some kratom earlier in the day, I am RLS free that night.
