Budgets for leaf

Post by Bigblind »

Im just curious what everyone is paying a month for leaf.I use it for chronic pain and its getting expensive. I spend about 100$ a month. I've never taken a break because its to hard to get the pain back under control. Everyone says to take a T break but I've never needed to the leaf always works people says they have to take a break because leaf quit working I don't agree I never have a problem. I guess I should mention my wife also is a daily doser any way just curious if anyone else is struggling to buy their leaf.

It depends where you live, i live in a ok area where you can get paid and have some extra to spend on what ever. I know a lot like dolor tree or dolor general or something similar will be hard to survive on. If you think 100$ is not bad to compare how so many bad drugs out there that can get you homeless in no time. I know many around me can barley make it, and some borrow from others so they don't have to be outside. Its getting pretty bad everywhere. But if you be smart you can hunt down the sales some vendors have once in a while, like 7ohm 50$ a kilo or some do 60$ and i seen 70$ before. Or you can send email to some vendors and see if they have ok kratom, not the best but something that will work that they put to the side and see if they can sell you for cheaper. Just some of my thoughts..

I'm on a very tight budget, and I live very frugally. Kratom is the one exception, and I usually buy 1.5 kilos a month so I always have some extra at the end of the month (I don't take that much, I just like to keep a stash for some unforeseen emergency.) Sometimes 2 kilos if I can make it work. There are still times when unexpected expenses come up and I'll limit myself to $80 a month. I've only ever run out a couple times. Withdrawal isn't that bad if you taper first. I've taken as much as a week long tolerance break, but when I started again I still had to take roughly the same amount. Like with other drugs, I seem to have developed a permatolerance. I have very little income and would technically be considered to be way below the poverty line, but I don't really mind. I just compare the ~$100 I spend on kratom in one month to my previous drug addictions where I could easily spend that in one day.

I’ve been addicted to buying. Haha shit I have a dozen kilos from the past two months I’ve barely touched. I went on a shopping spree. So hopefully I’m done for a while. I’m just always so tempted to buy. The amazing thing is, I used to be that homeless person. Now my life has become amazing due ALOT to this leaf. So I can afford shopping sprees, and buying 6 kilos a month a few times still doesn’t compare to what I used to scrounge up for street drugs. Kratom makes me live a full life. So when sales and great leaf are goin around, I fucken treat myself

As for your original post, check all the reputable vendors in this forum. I get amazing leaf and usually around $80 a kilo. Always check for sales, vendors post them here all the time. Either way you’re probably gonna spend 100 a month for how much you use. Just budget other things. A hundred a month to enhance your well being, kill pain, anxiety, whatever you use it for, isn’t that bad ! IMO

Liza offers a discount to disabled (any maybe veteran?) buyers. Just shoot her an E-mail. She is a terrific vendor and her kratom has a great reputation :)

I spend about $150-$200 per month. I don't use anywhere near that much, I'm simply stocking up. Currently have 20+kg in the stash. Many 250g and 500g packs unopened.

In general, I usually buy a kilo every 2 months so that averages out to about $50-60/mo. Although if there's a really good deal or coupon, I will definitely snap it up and add it to my stash. :lol:

When I first started kratom though, I bought up everything I could in an attempt to discover what I liked so I have a very big collection. I even still have some unopened kratom from 2017 and 2018. Despite the size of my doomsday stash, I still like to add a new kilo to it every couple of months.

Troll. If you make that much why do you have an overpriced kratom company you shamelessly plug? Also, are you a millionaire? If you spend 150k a month, that's nearly 2 million dollars annually.

I spend at least 80-160$ a month , I have lots of Kratom stashed ... just in case !!!!
I don’t make much money , but set aside a budget to keep Kratom coming in... it’s been beyond helpful for my chronic pain that I’d rather more than less in my cache ..kbull.... I’m pretty much in the same boat... addicted to ordering!!! Worse addictions I suppose 8-) I like to buy from a handful of my preferred vendors every other month or so ... keep variety on hand and support the vendors that I’ve come to know and love ... I have around 15-20 kilos stashed ... and will ( in all honesty ) probably keep buying at least one kilo a month ..sometimes 2... between me and my lady .. we go through a little over a kilo a month .. for what ever amount we both take .. I want to have an equal amount added to my herbal chest ... it is getting a little ridiculous... but it’s a life line/ passion and pleasure to be into a herb that’s given me quality of life ... better than any other herb or prescribed med I’ve used to help me with my ailments... Kratom is amazing at what it does !! Side note : I’m happy to be participating here more lately ... I feel like this community is a very special and tight knit one ...Very supportive and also straight forward... I am grateful for this forum !!

I am obsessed try to purchase 1 to 3 keys a month 10 keys stashed.At first I bought as much as I could split keys then the ones I really like I buy more.Ive filled my tea shelf with pint jars at first seriously I have a compulsion maybe because at first I felt like I had to try all Lizas teas and buy twice as much of those I loved.I tried some of the FB vetted lol vendors and then stumbled upon doubleM thru Reddit.and I am working my way thru Ballz vendor list.I do try to keep my tolerance low so I go thru less than a key a month.Icant get enough info about Kratom it truly has given me a quality of life Ive never dreamed I'd have my Life was horrible the pain was constant even with the prescription meds and it still Amazes me every single day that this leaf has given control of my life BACK to me.So yes Its my obsession but the lord knows that I have had others much worse and that cost so much more

I spend between $100-$160 a month. I think it is so worth it to build up a surplus. I have a lot of vintage stuff, some good, some not. DoubleM has helped guide me toward cheaper vendors, many with better quality than before, which I am thankful for. I really enjoy having a large collection to choose from, and who knows when we may lose access to this amazing botanical..

I use it for severe chronic pain, and I am disabled. My disability is actually being garnished by the Dept of Higher Ed for student loans. So I have to be incredibly shrewd in terms of a budget. Right now, I can swing 25$ a month, max. I try to keep it less than that, though. Under 20$ is ideal...

If I had the money, I would have it coming out of the rafters. There are so many new vendors I'm curious about! I order from inexpensive vendors, perhaps the most inexpensive vendor. The lower cost is a lifesaver for me, and luckily, I love his kratom. I have also found the Trading Post here has some excellent deals.

I can't remember the last time I bought a kilo, honestly.

Something like 100-180 a month, but most is getting packed away. I only use about 30 dollars worth in a month (10-12 g/day, 3 months per kilo), so less than 400 dollars a year for daily pain management.

It depends really. Id say probably $60 to $100 a month. Like to keep a little stash. You never know. Sometimes I spend a little more around holidays when vendors have really good sales. Hard to pass up a good deal! :D
