Hi - I'm new to the forum and new to Kratom. I've been using it about a month for anxiety, pain relief and mood elevation. Mostly it's for anxiety and the pain relief and mood elevation are bonus. I'd love to hear what more experienced people think about different strains for different conditions. Anyone else out there use it for anxiety relief and have a go-to strain?

Thanks for the welcome! What can I tell you about myself? I'm a mom of two young kids and I've been dealing with a nasty, high conflict divorce. I already have anxiety so the pressure is making things worse. I'm researching and experimenting with natural remedies instead of pharmaceuticals. Kratom has been a life saver for me. (But ingesting it is the hardest part! Ugh!) I hope to find a strain of bud to use as well but so far it tends to make me paranoid - and when you're trying to tame anxiety that's pretty much the opposite of what you want! I'm open to all advice. And thank you again for the welcome.

I just read an article that Kratom is being temporarily placed as a Schedule 1 drug by the DEA. Are. You. F^*#^{{#* Kidding. Me?! What the ever loving hell is wrong with our government. By the way, this is supposed to take effect September 30. So take that info and do with it what you will.

I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here but I'm absolutely livid. I have a 5 year history of prescription drugs - completely legit prescribed medication, for anxiety and pain management, that is all ridiculously addictive. I have the opiate tolerance of a hippo. I weaned myself off of everything a few years ago because I was pregnant with my babies. The pain I can deal with - I prefer not to be on opiates, actually, but the anxiety is a real issue for me. I found something that works for me in Kratom. No prescription meds. It's a goddamn plant that has been used medicinally for over a thousand years. But no. Big pharma can't let that happen. Fucking seeing red over here. And yes I'll be stocking up. But that doesn't do anything for the bigger problem. Arrrggh!

I agree, I'm sure it'll still be available but more expensive and overall harder to find. So now I'm researching the best way to store Kratom to keep it fresh and not lose potency. Anyone have experience to share? I'm thinking vacuum seal and/or freeze?

Personally I take 6 to 8 grams. It's a lot of capsules. I'll probably graduate to "toss n wash" soon but the capsules make it a little easier for me.

My local smoke shops are still selling it but there's a sign posted as of today putting people on notice of the DEA's "letter of intent". THIS IS WHY WE CANT HAVE NICE THINGS.

I've got a kilo of Maeng Da coming my way. I'm going to vacuum seal it. I hope it stores well!

I'm the same. I can't imagine what life is going to be like without it. I use Kratom instead of three prescription medications. It works better for me than the prescription meds. I wonder how hard it'll be to get once it's scheduled.

Hey Ras, I bet you can find someone to take that Maeng Da off your hands without too much trouble. Lol.
