3500mg of powder in boiled water, slowly sipped over the course of roughly half an hour, on an empty stomach.
To explore a White kratom strain and specifically its effects on productivity and energy levels.
I am now about three hours in. Contrary to the information gathered online prior to this experiment, sedation is more noticeable than an energy increase - being otherwise well rested and with zero tolerance to kratom, I wonder for future sessions whether being on an empty stomach might be the culprit.
It might also have been the amount consumed.
I cannot detect any enhancement of music appreciation, which happens for instance with Green Maeng Da, and there is also no compelling need to go play an instrument.
Looking inwards, I am calm, breathing slowly and evenly, with zero body discomfort. While there is no push towards getting things done, focusing on something (such as writing this post) is pleasurable.
Kratom is a very deep plant and with previous trials I have noticed that it often takes a few attempts until beginning to understand the particular effects that a certain strain produces, and how to best leverage that in terms of when to take it in the day, alone or in a social setting, what kind of activities to partake in, and so on.
So far, while enjoyable, I am skeptical of adding White Borneo to my list of must-have ethnobotanicals.
If you have personal experience with this specific strain, do share your thoughts.
Thanks for reading!
