Today, I talk about how having a normal breakfast or a lunch seems to make a huge difference in the amount of kratom I find is right regardless of when I take it that day. In contrast, my serving size of kratom after a snack, even if it is right afterwards, still needs to be cut significantly more if I haven’t had a normal meal earlier on that day. ❗️DISCLAIMER: The information and topics discuss...

Today, I talk about how thinking about the economy in a different way (inspired by Mark Blyth, my favorite economist and person to watch and listen to fyi) makes me think that we can approach kratom regulation and kratom market creation in a thoughtful way by, well, really ACTUALLY thinking about the policies, networks, regulatory possibilities and more as the complex set of systems that they are,...

Today, I talk about the past few weeks and how using primarily capsules has been an unintentional experiment for me. Usually, I use just powder and toss n wash. But given that capsules are easy to use on the go, I found myself with primarily capsules these past few weeks. Now I am realizing the difference in my experiences day to day and I am thinking about what I do and don’t like about this chan...

Today, I talk about how kratom does tend to help me with my mood, though not directly as a result of taking it so much as what I take it for and how it helps me with that first.

Today, I talk about how I’ve been seeing increasingly more commercials about Midwater, a product made up of mushrooms and spices and meant to be an alternative, less caffeinated drink to Coffee. This got me thinking a lot of thoughts. Namely, where does kratom fit into all this? .’. / | \ / | \ | | | \ | / \ | / \|/ | | \\\///\/ ❗️DISCLAIMER: The information and topics discussed in this show is n...

Today, I talk about a few more local bans or regulations on kratom put in place around the country recently, and the elephant in the room- is this something that can be maintained for long? Or will there need to be some sort of “coming together” moment on kratom legislation in this country?

Today, I talk about a few different methods that are mentioned online in conjunction with kratom extracts, and then one that, well, isn’t. Although, there’s a little surprise last minute search at the end of the episode to reveal that it is... kind of.... Just listen and you’ll see what I mean.

Today, I talk through my thoughts on how understanding kratom as it is, and not simply as something that is just part of an “other” category, really comes down to being exposed to learning about it in different situation, in different contexts, and at least on a few different occasions.
