Here's how I solved "kratom no longer having effect"

[SimonBcv]

After over 3 years of taking Kratom on daily basis it kind of stopped producing the desired effect, even taking it in the morning didn't do much, my normal dose is 1 gram about 5 times per day. Here's what was done:
I simply lowered the dose in half (instead of 1 gram I started using half a gram) for entire week, sure it was a bit difficult at first but then body gets used to it.
Then after a week I took 1 full gram early before breakfast and Whoala definitely noticeable.

Awesome. I am ALWAYS doing this and it really works. I stay at less than 4gpd for a year and half now. The very moment my scale says a number higher than I want, even .2 too much and II shake some off the spoon or start over.

Now, when I am in the living room and something like this occurs with bong, my packing approach is quite different. Fuck it!! I guess I need to take a deeper breath for this one. Every Poly user understands these distinctions but many find it difficult to break what seems like the 'right' thing to do. It is a perception fuck type of thing. When I am measuring Kratom, I use a 1/2 tsp scoop. When that is packed, it is 1.2g, sometimes that looks like more and sometimes less. If it even LOOKS more, but weighs the same, I start over. It has been over a year of training myself 3 times a day.

Be vigilant and try to maintain that less is more standard.

Last night, I got into a huge fight with gal and missed my third dose. The night drew on and I went to bed 'hungry'. Breakfast was fantastic today!! I try to see it as a constant race to get back to zero because that is when each subsequent uptake has the healthiest start.

I also like long walks on the beach.

Tolerance has always been a really big issue for me. I told myself that this week I would go heavy on the Javanica. Always easier said then done though

If your no longer having effects after using kratom for a year +, daily. Its not the kratom 9 times out of 10, its a tolerance issue. As someone with access to never ending amounts and handfuls of strains across different suppliers and regions. I develop noticeable strain tolerance after 3-4 days of concurrent use of the same strain. After even as little as a few months to years i can see the body developing tolerance to all alkaloid profiles of this leaf.

Another thing I noticed that helps ease things when reducing Kratom intake is "Black Seed Oil" holding it a bit under tongue before swallowing goes a long way.

Yes its not "strains". It's tolerance, and or, taking too much kratom... Over filling your tolerance bucket. Your mµ receptors are full, no more "headroom".

Solution? Take LESS kratom, leaves more room in the "bucket" - Empty out half of the bucket, how ?? By taking HALF as much kratom. . Boom, good feelings are restored! Yes its very weird, counter intuitive... For most things, alcohol for example, drinking more = stronger effects. But with kratom... Tolerance means you have built up sensitivity on your mµ opioid receptors. More sensitive means... you need Less kratom, to feel same effects. I'm now getting a good buzz around 1.5 grams!!

Another "concept", Kratom has a ceiling on effects. Alcohol, or Heroin, you get more & more drunk or high until you're... dead.
