There are multiple ways to use kratom powder, but the two most-used are to add the powder into a drink or the "toss and wash" method. 

​

Make a Drink

1. Prepare your kratom dose in a tea strainer or coffee filter
2. Boil a small pot of water. Any amount that you want for your drink is fine. The less water you use, the more the kratom flavor may be prevalent.
3. Once it begins to boil, take it off the burner and let it sit for a couple minutes. Very hot temperatures can deplete the alkaloids.
4. Slowly pour the hot water over the tea strainer or coffee filter that contains your proper serving of kratom.
5. Add any sweetener or other flavoring to your final product. 
6. Enjoy your customized kratom drink!

​

The “Toss and Wash” Method

1. Prepare your dose of kratom powder.
2. Take a small sip and hold in your mouth of whatever beverage or liquid you desire.
3. Pour your dose of kratom powder into your mouth, while still holding the liquid in your mouth.
4. Quickly swish everything around in your mouth, mixing the powder and liquid together.
5. Swallow.

​

*Please never put any dry powder in your mouth without liquid. This can be unpleasant and dangerous.

Psilocybe Cubensis is commonly known as "the magic mushroom". A species of psilocybin mushroom with principal active compounds of psilocybin and psilocin.

A grow bag for mushrooms is a specifically designed sterile bag that has everything you need to grow your own shrooms (sans spores!). This bag creates the perfect environment with proper nutrients and soil for your mushrooms to thrive.

Spore syringes typically contain multi-spore solution while liquid culture is an isolated strain of mushroom mycelium.

Runtz can make you sleepy, especially as the high begins to wind down. Hybrid strains like Runtz affect everyone differently, and some people do indeed report that it leaves them feeling ready to dive into bed. 

As a hybrid strain, Runtz can act as either a “downer” or an “upper,” depending on your body’s reaction to the dose you consume. Many people find that a Runtz high starts out as energizing, with plenty of full-body tingles and giggles. As the high progresses, you might start to feel more mellowed out, sleepy, and couch-locked.

Runtz is a hybrid strain that’s 50% Cannabis sativa and 50% Cannabis indica, which means it’s a pretty even blend of both. As a result, Runtz delivers a combination of uplifting, euphoric, and relaxing effects.

Arousal is one of Gelato’s most commonly-reported effects, so we’d say it’s a good choice! Because it tends to keep your mind going while freeing you from bodily effects like pain or stress, Gelato can certainly help you get in the mood.

Gelato’s high is euphoric, relaxing, and mentally-stimulating, which makes it perfect for anyone looking to enjoy themselves without blasting off too far into space. It’s also great for evening use since it can relieve pain, reduce stress, and help you fall asleep.

Gelato is an indica-leaning hybrid strain that’s about 55% Cannabis indica and 45% Cannabis sativa. That means it delivers both energizing and mellowing effects, depending on the dose and your individual bodily reaction.

Kratom is often regarded as a legal, more readily-available opioid-like substitute. It can be used as a powerful pain-reliever, a sedative, and to help with opioid withdrawal. However, that does not mean that kratom is an opioid. The receptors in the brain and body are not like buttons that you press. They involved complex mechanisms of activation, which is why several different compounds can interact with the same receptors in different ways, and create different effects.

The effects of kratom can depend on the dose, the strain, and the user. Kratom is used to:

·   Increase physical energy

·   Boost alertness

·   Boost mood

·   Enhance socialization

·   Relieve pain

·   Induce relaxation

·   Induce euphoria

·   Enhance sex drive

·   Increase appetite

·   Treat diarrhea (as kratom may induce constipation)

·   Treat opioid withdrawal symptoms

·   Replace alcohol in social scenarios

·   Create a topical poultice for wound-healing

·   Treat mood and psychological disorders

Kratom can take effect within five to ten minutes after ingestion. Effects can be expected to last for five to seven hours, with the effects peaking at about two to four hours. However, mild effects may last even into the next day.

‍

The two most potent alkaloids in kratom have half-lives of 2.5-3.5 hours. That means that it takes about three hours for the concentration of the alkaloid in the body to be reduced by one-half. The active compounds are eliminated through the urine.

‍

Consuming kratom with food may delay the onset of the effects. There are also other ways to enhance extraction of the bioactive alkaloids, or enhance absorption of alkaloids in the small intestine. That is why different modes of consumption (for example, kratom capsules, tablets, or teas) can change the way you experience kratom.
