Kratom

Kratom - Mytragyna Speciosa

Kratom (Mitragyna Speciosa / Nauclea korthalsii) is an entheogenic plant with many different possible applications. Recently the recreational usage of kratom has become ever more popular worldwide owing to its euphoric effect.

Traditionally however kratom was only used in Thailand and some parts of Malaysia. Besides as kratom (or krathom) it is also known under the names ithang, kakuam, thom, ketum or biak.

Kratom has a strong effect on your mood and energy levels. The sensation is described as happy, strong and active, with a calm mind and a strong drive to work. The effects will be noticeable after 5 to 10 minutes and can last for several hours.

Kratom as opium replacement

Kratom contains a number of active ingredients, so-called alkaloids, of which mitragynine is probably responsible for the most important effects. Mitragynine is a opioid agonist, which means it has an effect on the opioid receptors in your brain. These receptors amongst other things affect your mood. Mitragynine binds to these receptors, improves your mood and gives you an euphoric feeling, just like opiates as heroin and opium do.

The big difference between kratom and opiates is that mitragynine primarily stimulates the so-called delta-receptors in the brain, while opiates bind to the mu-receptors. In higher dosages mitragynine also increasingly stimulates the mu-receptors. This is probably the reason that kratom has a stimulating effect in low doses and a narcotic effect in higher doses and that it is not (highly) addictive. 

Responsible usage of kratom

Just as with all products you can order online in the Apollyon smartshop, responsible usage with kratom is very important as well. Use it to enjoy it, not to try to solve problems. Use it sparingly, so not too often and not in high dosages and with common sense.
