If I dont like it, I'm comin for ya!
Hope you're well, my friend, and thanks again for the package. There isnt a single thing in there I didnt thoroughly enjoy. I've been waiting to catch you online to thank you. That was SUPER cool of you to send me.that stuff. I didn't try the grandfather elephant though, it went in my stash 'm ups box. Too rare to use willy nilly! At any rate, thank you SO MUCH!
Here it is. Easy to miss, I just snuck it in, but it's important to me that you see this. I am ULTRA appreciative of your kindness my friend and as I said in the message, I enjoyed everything you sent me that I didn't stash. Thank you, Mike. Very much.
PS where does the grandfather elephant fall in the effects spectrum?
I completely overlooked that somehow...
You are very welcome!! It makes me happy to be able to provide a kindness and that you enjoyed what I sent. It was also my way of repaying your kindness for sending me the Maha Kali and some of your vintage 7OHM which I use as a treat they are so good! I spent hours trying to decide what to send to you and FireK when I was bagging up everything LOL
Also that Red Borneo from Sacred Life you included is one of the only strains of kratom that I've ever used for sleep and which consistently works. I'm trying to do a very long slow taper off of Xanax and that Red Borneo knocks me out every time! But thank you for the kind words and appreciation. It was my pleasure
I do remember that old 2016/17 Herbal Salvation. You know how much I loved their Maha Kali. I do remember them having a really good green bali too now that I think about it. I actually ordered from HS last week when they had a holiday sale and they have more payment options again so I figured I try their current Maha Kali (the one you sent me is for emergency only and its already been put to great use!). I got an ounce of the Maha Kali for like 8$ with their sale. They threw in a free ounce of Red Borneo but I haven't tried it yet. The Maha Kali is pretty good, not quite as strong or good as in years past, but it did what me and my mother got it for which is pain relief. I was actually surprised as I was expecting it to be crap.
That GOE Grandfather Elephant I remember being middle of the road, maybe slightly mid-spec. Good mood boost and pain relief. Haven't taken it in a while though... I do think you will enjoy the 24K... but if doesn't agree with you for any reason we could maybe do a trade.
All is good for me (well, good considering the year it has been). My dad's not very well. He needs surgery as he has 3 heart arteries with blockage of 90%. But he lost too much weight this past year and too weak for bypass surgery at the moment. I'm trying to help him gain weight but not having much success. He had quadruple bypass 21 years ago which also makes his case tricky cause the way the past bypass was done would make a second bypass surgery even more complicated. I've taken him to UNC and Duke hospital and unless he gains like 30 pounds surgery is too risky at the moment. So I'm just trying to enjoy the time we have. We had a good Thanksgiving (no family fighting haha). And he's doing okay considering his heart problems, and kratom helps him be pain free and be more active and more comfortable. I'm trying to look at it from the perspective of it could always be worse.
Hope all is well on your end, my friend, and you had a good holiday weekend. Let me know how you like what you ordered when you try it. That Super Green Bali turned into a very relaxing burn after about an hour. Very chill strain.

A fantastic mid to late evening burn. I don't think you'll
