I remember first ever trying Kratom in I guess November 2024? I bought Super White Maeng Da and the first few times of trying it was difficult, as I would pour the kratom into juice and directly drink it without stirring. Or I would be foolish enough to pour Kratom into Coke, which fizzed heavy and made me taste the bitterness of the powder.
Fast forward two months later, to 2025! New Year woohoo! I bought approximately 110 grams of Kratom. The site I bought it from had a 3x Sample Pack that you can buy. 3x 25 grams, from which I chose Super Red Maeng Da, Super White Maeng Da and Green Maeng Da.
Since three samples for 25 grams gets you an extra bonus, I also got 10 grams of White Elephant for free. The order I placed was delayed for a week, which made me wonder: "Where is my Kratom?" Contacting customer support would turn out to be a blessing in disguise for me, as they added a special bonus type of Kratom as a sort of "Sorry!" for forgetting my order. It was 25 additional grams of some Cameo Golden or something. I'm not sure what it was, because the Kratom I have isn't with me. Around 110 grams of Kratom were with me now, and I was excited to try them out.
On a weekend, I would try Super Red Maeng Da several times. I heard that Super Red Maeng Da produces a very relaxing and sedative effect, compared to other strains so I tried it. On Saturday I would take around 5 grams of Super Red Maeng Da, by weighing it with a pocket scale and pouring it into a cup of orange juice. Orange Juice is the best way to take Kratom after stirring it, because the acidity of the juice drowns out the bitterness of the Kratom. Stirring it also helped immensely, getting it all down. It took one and a half glasses to completely swallow the Kratom, before I washed my class, my fork, put away my scale and sealed the little bag of Kratom shut.
I would then lay in bed, on my side, covered in my blanket watching a reaction Video by Charmx where he reacted to "Fesh Pince Of Blair" a parody or "YouTube Poop" of the Fresh Prince Of Bel Air. Perhaps I was too focused on the video to focus on the effects of Kratom, but after a while I managed to finally focus on the effect, as I looked around in my bedroom a little bit.
I felt sedated, yet not as much as I would with alcohol. It felt like alcohol! Minus the classic buzz like dizziness you feel with it. I felt pressure in my face but a gentle type of pressure, close to my eyes especially.

Strangely enough, I tried 5 grams and then 6 grams (split in 3 grams each over the day) on another day, without nausea. Normal? Or not? I find Kratom to be nice. There are more strains I can try. Kratom has a calming effect on me, leaves me slightly sedated, yet the empathetic and calmness that I come to know, is unique. But Kratom did that for me. I woke up the next morning after taking it, sleeping around 10 hours. I felt refreshed, woke up in a good mood and went on with my day.
