anyone seeking to try kratom who hasn't already let me note that the powder is the worst tasting shit you will ever encounter in your life, it's like a grassy, chlorophyll, fermented elephant's asshole, and it's hydrophobic as shit so if you just like try to swallow some and chase it with water it WILL coat your mouth and everything will be nasty, gagging agony, if you're really prone to coughing like i am right now it might actually kill you
so i highly recommend either buying capsules or buying powder and pressing it into capsules
edit: before some tough guy contradicts me like yes you can totally just raw dog that powder, my brother's old roommate used to drink slurries of that shit, but I literally do not know how he could stand it, it is genuinely one of the worst tasting things I have ever in my life encountered, like imagine if you mowed your lawn and then just brewed a tea of it and then just let it stank for like a few weeks, then dehydrated that into a powder
Fair criticism. You can get used to it though. I mix mine thoroughly with water and shake it up before I take a drink, then immediately chase it with a strong flavored drink. My personal choice is Bang Sour Heads sugar free energy drink.
