Individuals have many reasons for choosing to partake of certain herbs that are known to have mind altering properties. Though some do it just because it is enjoyable, others seek the medicinal benefits the plants can give. Liquid kratom is taken for both of these purposes.

Given the scientific name of Mitragyna Speciosa, this versatile tree grows naturally in much of Southeast Asia. Since the earliest days of man, this substance, a cousin to the coffee plant, has been used as a key ingredient in herbal elixirs for variety of medical conditions. It has a special versatility in that the dosage taken can dictate whether it behaves like a sedative or a stimulant.

Some people have been known to use the dried leaves of this plant as a substitute for opium. Recreational users find the effects to be quite pleasant and soothing. The same psychotropic qualities that make this substance attractive for casual ingestion and dependency issues are what hinder governments from accepting it for its pain relieving potential.

Though currently illegal in Thailand, the government is giving consideration to its usefulness in assisting meth addicts to find a way to break the habit. Methamphetamine dependence is a serious problem in Thailand and is getting worse at rapid speed. Even the United States is doing research into the ways it can be used to wean those addicted to more serious drugs like opiates, cocaine and heroine without the normal symptoms of withdrawal.

Its psychoactive properties have caused this substance to be declared illegal in several countries such as Australia, Myanmar and Malaysia. The U. S. Has only labelled it as a drug of concern, though the state of Indiana has passed an all out ban on its consumption in any form. This product is easily purchased online.

Smoking, powders, capsules, cooking pastes, and chewing raw leaves are just a few of the many ways in which this substance may be ingested. In its liquefied form, it can be taken as an extract for quicker effect. The results one gets, whether it be a relaxing rest, soothing relief from ongoing pain or a full psychedelic experience, are going to depend mostly on how much of the product is swallowed.

A small amount can provide one with a bit of stimulation, giving them energy and alertness, making them talkative and overly social. A moderate dose brings just enough of a sedating effect to calm the body and provide pain relief. Ingesting a large taste may bring about euphoria and quite possibly a psychedelic adventure known as a waking dream.

Liquid kratom is bitter tasting so it is usually mixed with something to drink or taken through vaporizers or e-cigs. Since it is a stimulant like nicotine, coffee and soda, dependency may occur with excessive use though addiction is not likely. Users should not drive, cook or do anything active while ingesting this product because, even in small doses, the probability of falling asleep abruptly without warning is extremely high.
