For completeness' sake, it also shows the recently annexed oblasts (Kherson, Zaporozhija, Donetsk, Luhansk) as Ukrainian.
The first time I tried Kratom was in 2009. It was quite expensive, I bought like 10 grams or so and first time tried only like one gram. I remember the awful bitter taste, and no good effect (likely too small dose). That discouraged me. There wasn't a lot of information about Kratom back then. I got back to Kratom only in 2022, from researching nootropics (even though Kratom is hardly a nootropic).
How much Kratom do you usually have? Since Kratom is relatively cheap and its regulatory future is uncertain, I'm trying to stock up. Currently, I'm sitting at 4 Kg, but would like to increase that to ~10 Kg. Such stock would last me a couple of years. I can keep consuming the oldest packages while replenishing the stock. Buying in bulk, I'm trying to find both good price and quality, but that's not easy ...

China certainly isn't some innocent victim here. Their crackdown on democracy in Hong Kong, more aggressive pursuit of their frankly absurd claims in SCS, their ambassador in France calling post-Soviet countries as not being sovereign - Chinese posture certainly escalated and most of these independently of their rivalry with US.

I think Europeans don't understand why the recent escalation is necessary - it seems to have come from both directions (not just China) for no good reasons.
I'll start - for me, it's a social lubricant, it works basically in the same way as alcohol, but with way fewer side effects and no hangover in the next day. My alcohol consumption reduced as a result. For this to work, it's important to not consume every day, otherwise the desired "lubricant" effects basically disappear. I know some folks use Kratom very differently for e.g. pain management, what's your story?
Experiences, dosing, consuming styles, quitting etc. Kratom is controversial - it has many fans, but also detractors. Both sides are welcome. Kratom is legal in some parts of the world, but not everywhere. I'm not sure what are the legal implications/rules for the lemmy instances, so for now let's refrain from discussing vendors.
