Are you able to smoke Kratom
Kratom is a tree unique to Southeast Asian countries like Thailand, Malaysia, Myanmar (Burma) and Indonesia. Its has many names; Mitragyna speciosa, Kratom, Ithang, Kakuam and Thom. It is related to the coffee tree (Rubiaceae). It's most often found in rainforests and in swamps. Kratom leaves happen to be used for hundreds of years in Asia. They are used as a stimulant and sedative (depending on the dose; low does = stimulant and dose = sedative). They are also used as a recreational herb, a pain killer, diarrhea treatment and a strategy to opiate addiction.
Kratom is a large tree which grows to 12-15 feet tall, in some cases as tall as 40 to 100 feet. Its leaves are green and may be over 7 inches long and 4 inches wide. The flowers have been in yellow clusters. Kratom is an evergreen and the foliage is always being replaced. Kratom thrives in humid, fertile soil, with near full sun exposure away from strong winds. It's drought and frost sensitive.
Kratom has been suspended in many Parts of asia due to abuse. It's also thought to be addictive, but more scientific studies are required to know for sure as true.
Kratom is split into two sorts based on the colors from the veins within the leaves; red or green/white. The green-veined variety has been said to possess a stronger effect, but most users in enjoy mixing them both. Many vendors sell either whole leaf, crushed leaf or powder. Kratom extracts are also very popular.
Kratom is a unique herb, when utilized in low to moderate dosages it provides a stimulant; while higher doses act inside a sedative manner. This is most likely because of the active alkaloids which have both stimulant and sedative effects.
The stimulant level: At the stimulant level, the mind is much more alert and focused, there is increased physical energy, and often sexual energy is increased too. The consumer is usually more talkative.
The sedative-euphoric-analgesic level: At higher dosages, people report that they're less responsive to pain having a calming feeling of pleasure. Some reports say the user may enter a dreamy state of bliss. Further, people can experience some itching or sweating. It is possible one might feel nauseated, but relaxation usually over-rides it. Appreciation of music is also reported. Many people report a positive 'afterglow' the next day.
Kratom includes a long history of use like a pain-killer and treatment for people hooked on various opiates. I personally have friends who have been addicted to pain pills prescribed by their doctors. While Kratom doesn't provide them with the "high" these were used to, it did however enable them to overcome the sickness of withdrawal while they were trying to quit the prescribed opiates.
Kratom use may cause nausea and constipation. Some people are hypersensitive to the alkaloids Kratom, and could experience severe vomiting if using stronger doses.
