What it is exactly is the leaf from a certain tree that is related to coffee. You dry the leaf, powder it, and eat it. I mix my dried leaf with water and sugar, then chase it with a can of coke.
There are basically three types of kratom, each with slightly overlapping effects. The color refers to the veins on the leaf. Red vein kratom is more sedating, great for pain or winding down at the end of the night. White vein is great for energy and focus. Green vein is somewhere in between. There are other vein colors and blends, but over never taken them.
So after I start my day, coffee in me, showered, etc., I usually take 5 grams of white vein. The effects kick in in about 30 minutes, now I feel energized and focused, ready to take on whatever shit the day throws at me. I keep a written log of my doses, so about 4-5 hours later, I take another dose. By the time it is night and the sun has gone down, I do 2.5 grams of white and green mixed together. Some hours later, I will take another 5 grams.
According to my logs, I take about 25 grams per day. A lot of people only take 1-3 grams at a time and much less frequently. You have to find the dose that works for you. One good thing is that you can't overdose on it. It will j8et make you sleepy, like really sleepy, like fall asleep at your computer sleepy. But when you wake up the next day, you will feel fine and not feel any negative effects.
