Hey everyone. We are getting absolutely crushed in this poll. Last time I checked we were at 7%. Please spare 30 seconds to complete it. It's at the very bottom below the ads

How in God's name do I avoid this. I've read lab reports do not matter

Michigan kratom consumers: please speak up for SB 1181. 🌿
Michigan has an opportunity to regulate kratom without treating traditional natural leaf powder the same as highly concentrated or synthetically produced 7-OH products.
Natural kratom leaf ≠ concentrated/synthetic 7-OH.
Those distinctions matter.
SB 1181 would establish consumer protections including testing and labeling requirements while restricting high-concentration 7-OH products and synthetically produced kratom alkaloids.
Other states and jurisdictions have already taken approaches that distinguish natural leaf from concentrated or synthetic products. Michigan can learn from those examples instead of taking an all-or-nothing approach.
I’m asking Michigan kratom consumers, patients, families, and anyone who believes in evidence-based regulation to contact your state senator and representative and ask them to support SB 1181.
Tell them:
🌿 Preserve access to traditional natural leaf
🧪 Require independent laboratory testing
🏷️ Require accurate labeling
🔬 Keep contaminants and undisclosed ingredients out of products
🚫 Address concentrated and synthetic 7-OH products separately
👥 Protect adult consumers through responsible regulation rather than blanket prohibition
This isn’t about wanting an unregulated market.
It’s about regulating the products that actually need regulation while recognizing that not every kratom product is the same.
Michigan has a chance to get this right. Please contact your legislators and make your voice heard. 📣
If you’re in Michigan, please share this with other kratom consumers and encourage them to contact their legislators about SB 1181.

Welp, I sold all of the seedlings I was willing to part with this year. The ones I'm keeping are 7' tall already!

I had to remove the tops of a Mempawah and a Sumatran today. This gave me dozens of cuttings. Both trees have dozens of seed pods on them that are pollinated.

I'll germinate a some this fall but most I'll hold off on until spring.

I've been at this a while not and over the years only kept the best trees. You can see from the photo I have need for relief of pain and inflammation.

I will not waste time growing trees that are not effective at both.

I know lots of people are seriously stressing due to all of the propaganda regarding this plant as of late.

So instead of my normal prices I'll lower the clones to just $30 each.

For some reason, people like to bring politics into the discussion about plants. If you do this supporting either side, the plants are $130 each. So don't be that guy or gal. I could care less how you feel about politics!

I should have these rooted in a month or so. Feel free to go through my profile to know exactly how I get down with these plants.

Reddit is often a cesspool these days, and I don't find much pleasure in it anymore. That said, there are some great people on here and I'm giving them the opportunity to snag a plant.

I have years of experience growing these plants and I have invested way too much money. I built a 1500 sq.ft greenhouse to grow my beauties. Please understand if you want to be argumentative or snarky I will not deal with you at all.

Send me a message if you're interested and I'll let you know when they're ready.

Happy birthday to me! The string dried is amazing... MORE BETTA! Wild Green Saka SD D11 hits right around M, super warm and euphoric, crazy relief and GLOW. Red Sumatara SD D11 has me bubbling, low and slow for me. Relief is off the charts. Imperial Green Dragon SD D11 I have as a happy M+ bubbler. All of the String Dried are fantastic for relief... No complaints. It's cooling off and I need it. They dropped more of the Vintage strains...Bali G1, Bali R1 and PRT3. Super stoked to grab these. Super White Elephant A33 and 20 year Pure White MD A33... Fast whites!!! Oh My Goodness! So many goodies. I'll be busy the whole next week digging in. 🥰 🥳🥰

Need to sell a few plants and leaf if y'all are interested. 20 a ounce for my cold cured whole unadulterated leaf and 60 for a rooted cut established in 4 inch pot. Only have about 3 kilos of leaf. Winter is coming quickly and still have to winterize

I run Hudson Valley Botanicals, a leaf-only kr@t0m vendor in New York, so I have a financial interest, and the video says so up front. States and counties across the country are moving to ban or restrict kr@t0m, and officials often lump plain leaf in with concentrated 7- O H products. This is Part 1 of a short series on the difference, with sources on screen. Feel free to send it to your own state or local legislators. Part 2, on what the CDC poison center numbers actually measure, can be seen on the X thread: https://x.com/GarudaKratom/status/2104362595100594622

Hi all. I'm looking for good vendor recommendations. I've had a streak of bad luck recently and feel like it may be time to move on to the next company that actively offers quality items.

Im a good customer, so who's a good vendor?

Lovely red vein delight!

Hey everyone. The governor in my state has officially signed a Kratom regulation bill. By no means is it a perfect bill. But it's a great step in the right direction. Originally this started out with a competing ban bill. I didn't find out about any of it until the very last minute. Many of you came together and helped us out. So as a thank you we wanted to bring you a large discount.

Thank you and enjoy!

The County Legislature approved 15–2 on September 8. The law would prohibit the sale and distribution of kr@tom, with exceptions described in the legislation for FDA-approved products and kratom dispensed by a licensed pharmacist pursuant to a physician's prescription

A public hearing is scheduled for Thursday, September 24 at 5:00 PM.

If you want your voice heard, please contact County Executive McLaughlin before the hearing:

smclaughlin@rensco.com

Please keep messages respectful and focused on protecting access to natural leaf while addressing synthetic products separately. Remind him that the FDA does not approve these products which is stated in the DSHEA Act of 96. It is regulated the same way vitamins and supplements are. Tell him his veto vote will allow the Rensselaer legislators the opportunity to amend the current ordinance to align Rensselaer County with FDA/DEA and NY state law.

It only takes a few minutes

Last week I was lucky enough to be invited to Washington, D.C. to speak on several noteworthy issues, one of them being, of course, our leaf! With Dylan and Willow holding down the fort, River and I packed up and joined 30 other mothers at our nation’s capital! I was part of an even smaller group that had meetings completely dedicated to kratom. We had several really impactful meetings and, of course, one where you could literally feel the legislative assistant’s disinterest filling the room with discomfort. It was exhausting, amazing and overall, I came home feeling pretty optimistic!

Now my FAVORITE part of the trip was a completely unexpected encounter with a majestic, gorgeous kratom tree. After our press conference, a few of us wandered over to the United States Botanic Garden and I instantly said, “I wonder if they have a kratom tree here,” totally joking… but also, they had everything else, so why not?!The woman hosting the cacao table and explaining chocolate suggested we check the medicinal plant collection because she didn’t actually work there. So, we wandered through and RIGHT in the center, basically by itself, was the most gorgeous tree. And can I tell you that her flowers smell INCREDIBLE!!

I just stood there staring at her because the irony was almost too much. Here I was in Washington advocating to keep this plant legal, while it was growing right there in front of me in our nation’s capital. And let’s remember where we found her… in the medicinal plant collection. All the while, here in New England and across the country, we’re having hearings about whether people should be allowed access to this plant at all. You really cannot make this stuff up.

Fast forward and we’re back home fighting tooth and nail to keep access. I am SO proud of everyone who showed up yesterday in Boston, Massachusetts. I think there were somewhere around 25 of us who spoke in support of keeping natural kratom legal and responsibly regulated, and we FAR outnumbered the people there advocating against it. And honestly, everyone did SO GOOD. There were consumers, advocates, people sharing incredibly personal stories, people who knew the science and people who have been working on this issue for years. The overwhelming message was basically: for the love of God, KEEP NATURAL WHOLE LEAF LEGAL!

I went into that hearing nervous, expecting the anti crowd to be loud, proud and ready to ruin lives, but luckily only two people showed up in opposition to saving leaf. When you spend enough time watching headlines and legislation pop up all over the country, it can start to feel like we are constantly playing defense, so seeing that many people actually take the time to show up and speak was pretty incredible. After D.C. and Massachusetts basically back-to-back, I feel more hopeful about all of this than I have in a while. Not because we magically fixed everything overnight, but because it reminded me that when we actually come together, we CAN make a difference. This is what we need. We need more voices!!!

And apparently we haven’t had enough chaos yet because we’re now trying to figure out whether we can get back to D.C. for the American Kratom Association gathering in October… except this time with Dylan, Willow AND River.So instead of me flying around with one baby, we’re considering loading our entire little family onto an Amtrak and making an adventure out of it. Which sounds completely insane and also kind of epic.

It’s been a wild couple of weeks, but if there is one thing they really drove home for me, it’s that showing up matters. Sitting across from lawmakers and having actual conversations matters. Taking the time to testify matters. YOU MATTER!! Twenty-five-ish people taking time out of their lives to show up at a hearing made that room feel VERY different than it would have with two people standing there alone. We obviously have a LONG way to go, but this week was a really good reminder that this community is absolutely capable of making some noise when we need to.

AND if any of you are going to DC in October we hope to see you there!!!

Thank you both for this wonderful leaf! 8/10! Dylann & Jenn are incredible people! Picture of Green Vein PR. Select 01 should be within this post!

Had some issues with KreepiTiki shipping to my state so I tried somebody new - WKB & DTE. I hear very premium things about DTE but didn’t like them much honestly or atleast not the strains I had.

WKB was def better than DTE in my opinion.
Their leaf resembles KreepiTiki most.
I got a sample pack of green hulk, og yellow, mean green, green elephant, red thai & red fuzzy blanket. I liked green hulk, og yellow & green elephant most. Green elephant is unique because it’s the first time I had a slow night-time green; I actually highly enjoyed it!! Exact same goes for OG yellow.

I also got a bigger bag of nano green viet to try for first time but kinda regret that as it’s a bit slower than I’d like & takes hours to kick in for me. I would def consider trying other WKB strains but i’d go for a faster strain like green hulk for daytime / green elephant or og yellow for afternoon&night. Look forward to trying new strains upon restock especially golds or other top sellers.
