• Feelings of contentment
• Help with pain
• Decreased anxiety
• Feelings of calm and relaxation

This larger dose is favored among those who take Kratom for recreational use. Some people experience a reverie-like state when consuming high doses.

This comes down to the individual. Start out with a smaller amount and see what it does and how and if it helps. Once you become a bit more familiar with it, it will be easy to determine how much you need for the desired effects.

Please note that it is possible to build up a tolerance to Kratom therefore you should bear in mind what you are using it for and the condition you are trying to treat.
