Kratom

[tonray]

Big-C first on the bandwagon 

 

[wombat]

So?

[1FinickyOne]

sure, but where did the broccoli go?

[Guderian]

Of more relevance to farangs, maybe, Makro in Pattaya sells fresh white and green asparagus, and it's great quality. I've never eaten so much asparagus in my life, an asparagus pizza is the best. Trouble is, my pee often smells like over-ripe hay these days, lol.

[IAMHERE]

Is it safe to eat this kratom, for the fiber ?

[Iforbach]

Ah broccoli . Get to sizzlers tons of it ..:)

[Jeffr2]

A friend brought some over yesterday.  Last year, you'd end up in jail for having this.  Now?  It's all over. 

 

I guess quite the thing now here.

[UKJASE]

lotus have it too......  i hope people know what they are buying when they purchase this......

 

it was in the reduced section the other day, and if some old lady was to add it to her salad cos it looked nice, and it was cheap, she may get quite a shock once digested ????

Is it normally in the food section at Lotus and big C? I'd like to try it for shoulder pain, I read that it helps relieve pain.

As far as I know you can't buy it in the food section at Lotus or Big C, but things may have changed. But anyway using it as a garnish or cooking ingredient wouldn't give you any noticeable effect because the quantity would be too small.

 

Yes it is recommended as a pain-killer, dieting aid, and to reduce anxiety, among other things. A local farmer gave me a big bag of fresh leaves and advised me to make a tea out of 5 or 10 of them (a couple of litres not 1 cup!). It was just an experiment, as I don't have any persistent pain or other issues. I noticed a subtle mood rebalancing and increased alertness, not dissimilar to cbd, but I wasn't what you could call "high" at all.

 

Its chemistry is interesting as far as I remember from research I did on the internet a couple of months ago. It's a member of the caffeine family (hence the speeding up of metabolism useful for dieting at low doses and increased alertness) but at high doses (which I haven't tried) it's more like an opiate (though it's not addictive, unlike opiates).

 

You can buy it online at Lazada for example in powdered capsule form.

@Tonray

 

Thanks for the pic confirming that kratom is now sold in the grocery sections of supermarkets as a condiment or flavouring.

But believe me that portion will not have any therapeutic effect.

 

For anyone interested in using kratom therapeutically, online purchases of capsules via Lazada for example is the simplest route.

I really hope no one has to play the pink oboe when they're with you.

I suggest you change your smelling habits....????

A troll post and reply have been removed

[LawrenceN]

Driving out of Chiang Mai today on the 108, there was a woman selling bags of it at a traffic signal. Looked like at least half a dozen leaves in the bag, 50 baht. So watch for that. 

[blackprince]

By the way here's a pic of 8 litres of kratom tea from the freezer, each bottle made with about 10 fresh leaves from a local farm.

 

A half pint mug will induce a mild therapeutic effect. For those in search of nirvana, and I've noticed there are many western lurkers in Thailand doing just that, this is not going to help. Acccording to this humble commentator anyway.

Got 25 leaves in the fridge now, ready for boiling, straining cooling quickly & keeping cold

I add 500ml coke just to take the bitterness away

[bbko]

I know of several roadside places here in Pattaya selling for 60b.  I have little to no interest in this stuff, what does it do?

[bestie]

I tried

Depends on how often you take it.

 Thanks for the information, yes, I was planning to make a tea with it.

 

[bartender100]

There are stalls outside 7/11s in Pattaya sell all kinds of stuff

The state legalised Kratom so quickly and allowed selling openly for a less researched and potentially more dangerous substance than Cannabis.

I don't get it. Business interests of some influential people and police for keeping cannabis trade in their hands?

[Lee4Life]

I saw a sign advertising it at a gas station in the small town we live in in America.

[grain]

Drove home from shopping in Korat city today, while we were waiting at a set of traffic lights a seller walked past the waiting cars with a sign reading Kratom leaves 20Bt.

[SAFETY FIRST]

Anyone out there with some cooking recipes for these leaves? 

[acepredator]

I learned by accident that Kratom has an unexpected and much appreciated side benefit. Approximately an hour after drinking roughly half a large glass of Kratom, I engaged one of my female Thai acquaintances in activity of a decidedly amorous nature. Much to my surprise and delight, I found that the time until our coupling drew to a close was prolonged well beyond normal parameters. Research into the characteristics of Kratom revealed that it is an opioid, which are well known to delay the completion of acts of physical intimacy. For those who may suffer from a problem with these acts reaching their conclusion too quickly, Kratom might provide a safe (if not overindulged in), easily administered, and now legal remedy.

Poor research

 

Sample size is too small, need more research

I should help with the research, give the members more proof

Where are you located? 

I should engaged with your female Thai acquaintance in this activity and give a detailed report.

To answer your questions: The sample actually included more than one encounter with more than one acquaintance. Still small but big enough to show a real difference between encounters with Kratom versus those without.

 

I am located in the beautiful and aptly named "Land of Smiles." Greater specificity will not be forthcoming at this time. 

 

Thai acquaintances such as mine can be readily and easily acquired in the aforementioned "Land of Smiles." They can be purchased for long time use over years or even decades, or they can be rented by the hour. The possibilities are virtually limitless. If you are in Bangkok, I would have suggested starting at NaNa Plaza, Sukhumvit Soi 4 or Soi Cowboy, between Sois 21 and 23, also known as Soi Asoke. In the age of COVID-19, however, I don't know what is available in these two venerable locations. In any event, be resourceful, and, to quote the Rolling Stones, "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometime you'll find you get what you need."
