I see these things at smoke shops all day for 20-30.
Not saying I would buy it, not saying it’s worth it lol, just my observation.

I think whoever invented money was deep on the spectrum, a caveman with a shiney rock and some ideas (probly not too many friends) Given the nature of money and of drugs (or maybe the mind is a better word?) it’s hard to get the two to intersect. It’s like shooting two moving targets in different dimensions with one fake bullet.

That being said, a man’s gotta eat, but a he doesn’t need to pig out. I personally dont have a drug problem, but I enjoy a little tea time. The prices put me off when I see a thirteen year old barefoot kid sitting on pack and packs of it on instagram. The detachment becomes too apparent for me to feel comfortable you know?

Those shots like Vivazen and such sell for $5-10 from most places. Some of the very potent ones can get more.
There’s a supplier I found on Instagram who offered some very hiqh quality extract and pre-made shots I can try to find. He seemed quite legit.

Well, Ive never looked for the weak ones haha

Edit, vivazen took the Kratom out the formula in february though?

No, they did take it out at some point but you can find vivazen with kratom still. There’s a shop called jackbgoods that sells every imaginable kratom shot including vivazen for dirt cheap. I’ve bought from them in the past.
America rewards creating wealth through goods and services financially. I love my country and the freedoms it has given me.

With great freedom comes great responsibility. Thats another set of moving targets too.
Its probly I just dont wanna spend that much on kratom tho, if I’m being honest lol and not long winded haha
This is for the OP:
The problem you’re going to run into with an RSO type extraction is that you can only get to about a 10% purity with that method and it’s gonna taste like SHIT and not be very potent. Even the shots that use 45% extract taste like shit from all the plant byproduct that’s left over in there.
Extracting kratom is a whole different animal from extracting CBD.
Also if anybody needs just a couple kilos of kratom to experiment with, I’ll send it over at cost. $30 each plus $15 for USPS Priority.

Just to clarify, I mainly sell to distros by the pallet, being a copacker, so obviously I dont charge those prices.
Kratos extract taste like horse shit…at least the ones I tried…they made me gag

Kratom has had this weird ride for the last couple of years due to DEA trying to ban it and hasn’t been able to. FDA has conducted site visits and confiscated containers and containers worth of Kratom that the importers never got back a couple of years ago. With them simply saying they found traces of items or heavy metals that aren’t meant to be there.
From 30+ a kilo couple of years ago now can easily get down to less than 10 at this point when buying tons.
Kratom extracts or shots are expensive. OPMS GOLD, MIT, K80, Krave all of these mainstream brands price their shots for Tier 1 Distributors in the 6-9 dollar range.
People can’t them right or can’t get product liability insurance hence not many companies do it. I don’t know why I would love to know why…
Average retail on a Kratom extract shot is from $15-$20 and they do sell in massive numbers.
Before D8 came along…an average smoke shop that carried CBD and Kratom…generated 500% more sales in Kratom than CBD.

Everybody be warned about dealing with Dutch. They have scammed several Kratom vendors on the Kratom FB groups. They show pallets of shots ready to go, take payment and never send the product.

Kratom is psychoactive and cbd is not
Kratom is kratom and cbd is cbd
Of course kratom sold less.
And cbd is a snake oil in many things it is only indicated for a few things but companies such as hempworks or hempworx and many others claim a lot of shot cbd does, that it does not do, so people don’t exactly know what it does or doesn’t do
“Oh yes cbd is good for pain”
No it’s not
Delta 8 or delta 9 is way better for someone to kick dope than another addictive substance, 7 hydroxy myteragaine or whatever is almost an opioid, and acts on the same receptors
Kicking with something like that means you still have a habit you’re just paying inside the store instead of outside the store

Everyone has an opinion and the above is yours. I don’t agree with any of what you have said and you can simply disagree with my take on this as well.
I get it this forum’s primary function is to cater to folks who deal within the Cannabis market however CBD is indeed a very effective Cannabinoid. Works for so many people for so many things it isn’t even funny to have an opinion that says otherwise.
It is approved by the FDA for epilepsy I don’t think I have to say more.
Far as Kratom is concerned. That is a HUGE market within the US and for a good reason. It works. It has worked for thousands of years in countries where it is consumed on a daily basis by people who literally do hard work in the fields growing other crops.
Just because it works on the same receptors doesn’t mean it is bad. Anything and everything can be abused. If it was really that bad. DEA would have been able to get it banned years ago. The fact they haven’t been able too…should tell you all that you need to know.
Big pharma wants Kratom banned. Perhaps you should see it’s reviews or see how effective it is in getting people off opioids. None of this is free including D8 or D9.
I can’t remember where people are going ga ga over how D9 helped them get off opioids after 20 years of abuse. Honestly if you think spending money within a store to be on Kratom or using Kratom to manage pain or other bodily issues is the same as being on hard drugs.
I have nothing to say at that point.

I like kratom, but it’s got a lot of the same problems hemp does
I’d like to see some testing done on some stuff in the wild. I’m curious what the heavy metal and microbe tests would turn up

I like kratom too, and I’ve seen it help replace opiates, like honey can help replace sugar. Give me honey, please. Its so spensive at the store tho, but maybe the price point counteracts the potential for abuse?
