Hey Joey, thanks for let me ask a question. I watch a lot of your videos man and I’ll be honest I struggle with kratom addiction. I’ve been trying to get off for about six months and I’ll get through about a week or so and something else will happen. Bills need to be my own business, so I can’t really take time off but my withdrawals are pretty damn bad , so I’ve been trying your agmatine ,calm ,vitamin c method. Then I discovered stem and vein , to be true am I able to take stem and vein to get through my withdrawls of Kratom or am I just delaying the process? ? I usually cold turkey, but I really don’t wanna go through that again. My question is, can I get off Kratom with stem and vein and as I taper down on the stem and vein am I avoiding serious withdrawals are there withdrawals from stem in vein ?

Have you tried the new Krabot 50mg alk tabs? I didn’t notice too much difference from the 40mg and some people say that it is much better. I wanted to know your thoughts. I think I am not feeling the same effects as before. I am tapering but still no difference. I seem to get sleepy after awhile. I am taking White Maeng Da Krabot tabs.

The package that I have doesn’t say but they’re the size or maybe a little bit bigger than a 800mg ibuprofen thank you for your response will definitely get one of each

Just starting was on 8 percs a day was pointed to this as an alternative I got the green menga da that was recommended for pain but the more research I do it looks like the red would be better for pain. I need help. I took 3 green capsules and felt some but not full relief the next day I didn’t feel how I felt day one and this is only day two any recommendations

Hey Joseph, i just ordered Krabot sleep aid infused kratom. I have sleep issues, not due to kratom, and want to take my daily dose .5-1.0 gram of green maeng da during the day and then krabot sleep aid kratom at night. Two questions: 1. Will this krabot be too much for me at first since they are 1.0gram caps? (I assume not, since ive been a daily user of .5-1.0 gram since August 22’ other than my taper week to keep tolerance low) 2. What time should i take the kratom to go to sleep around 10:00-11:00 at night? Thanks Joey appreciate you

I hope you’re doing well! I was curious on all the substances otc or rx you used when you took your break from kratom and what was the protocol you used for the things you noticed helped the most overall Thanks

Hi joey does it matter how much water you mix with or is there a ratio Tnx

Hi Joey, I have been taking kratom for about a year now and the last month or two I have been waking up with sharp pain in the bottom of my feet (especially my heels) and now the pain is persisting thru the day ... do you happen to know why this could be happening or know of any supplements that could help with this? Thank you in advance!

What’s up! I just started with the LDN today. I’ve had 3 doses at 2 ML each. I get that it’s about feeling how the body handles it… my question is… how quickly can you increase it? If the goal is to get off kratom completely what’s an example or general outline? What did your progression look like and do you still take it or are you fully back in kratom?

Hey Joey. I’ve been using Kratom since the beginning of December and it has changed my life. You have been my guide and I want to thank you for what you’re doing. I am a recovering opiate addict and so using Kratom has been a bit of a mindfuck. I have your journal and have watched your recent video on Using Kratom Responsibly- it sure did resonate with me. I am truly comfortable with my “Why” and want to continue with this journey. I started my first taper last Tuesday and have been using Stem and Vein only for 2 days now. I haven’t had any physical withdrawals at all and through yesterday my mood was pretty even. This afternoon I’ve really felt low and my mood is bouncing all over the place. I know that all aspects of using Kratom are on one hand very broad and on the other very individual. But wanted to ask if you’ve personally been where I am today, or if others have shared similar stories. I intend to incorporate Tapering into my Kratom Journey and just wanted to reach out about this subject- because I can tell you straight up I’m not digging this at all.

Forgive me because I haven’t watched all your YouTube videos on Ketamine. Has it helped you? I’ve tried several medications and have done talk therapy and there seems to be no relief. Kratom has made it manageable yet I am considering Ketamine

Hey Joey. I emailed you several weeks ago about doing a reset since I had built up a tolerance after 3 months of using Kratom. You sent me the protocol for doing a reset and I followed it to the “t”. 3 days of half Kratom and half stem and vein and 4 days of just stem and vein. After completing the reset, I resumed the Kratom using the original amount as when I initially started and I had little response. Second day same thing. Do I need to do another reset? How shall I proceed? Thank you.

Hi Joey can u recommend a good kava Tincture…..thank u Joey💚…….I will be setting a zoom appointment with u soon to explain what’s going on cause I’m not really explaining what I’ve been going through for years I’m hoping u might understand…..

Im looking for a new brand.the store runs out of if. Its called painout. Green meley. Ive tryed alot of other ones but didnt really do much. What would you recommend?

Hey Joey! What insights do you have regarding traveling international? Do you have a list or source that we can reference . I plan at some point down the road to travel to south east Asia. But I know it’s illegal there and I’m wondering what people do who use kratom and travel. I guess it really will play a large role in where we can go? Any tips or tricks please…? And thanks for all you do!🙏🏻

Joey I started the stem and vein taper, 6grams of Kratom and 6grams of Stem and Vein that I purchased from a vendor online. By Day 3 I have "crashed" and I am in full blown withdrawal in bed! I tried reinstated and even increasing my does can't get stable. Been taking that same strain for 45 days now. Should I switch to a different strain and then try again? Any suggestions?

Hi Joey. Love your YouTube channel. It has helped me a lot. I was wondering what other Nootropics are you using? I know you’ve mentioned both Ashwaghanda and Tongkat Ali. Are you still using those?

Ok I think I have to go longer then a week without kratom and I bought a pound of kava from two different vendors and there not working so I’m getting no relief what do u think about tianeptone I know my body is messed up from addiction but I have made my kava every way u can and my nerve problem is so bad I’m going crazy I’ve been like this for years but it’s gotten to the point where I’m so done I’m tired I need a break sorry Joey it’s a bad day for me so anything u can recommend……..thank u💚

Hey Joey! So I attended your class a few days ago and I had a question that you might have answered during, but I may have missed it. I was wondering how many times a day you dose. If your maximum allowance for a week is 10 grams, would you take doses in 2 grams until you’ve done that 5 times? I’m running low on S&V so I’m just including regular Kratom in a half and half mix for the rest of my taper. My funds are low lol, definitely will be getting some more though soon. Thanks for clarifying! Take care, Blake

Joey can you please provide a webinar replay link?

Hey Joey, I purchased a different type of stem and vein from Philly Kratom. This blend contains stem and vein, Javanica and Hirsuta. I believe those other two ingredients are also alkaloids. This stuff really works magic and I feel like I’ve been taking my full dose while tapering. Honestly yesterday I felt it really strongly to the point where I didn’t want to take anymore that day (which is rare for me). https://yourleafyourlife.com/product/break-time-blend-2oz-56g/ Here’s the link, cheers!

I take between 4-6gms twice daily sometimes three times depending on anxiety I switch colours and use stem and vein

Thanks for all the content. You're passion is much appreciated. I remember you saying their will be a video sent through email on vemeo about how to get off kratom with no withdrawals. Was that video sent out? Was it made? Will it be in the video ur doing tonight at 9pm? Lol I'm just alil lost and confused like maybe I missed something. Thanks so much bro. Peeeace.

How do you feel on stem & vein (separately) with it's different & additional alkaloids? Have you ever used the Entire Kratom leaf & how did it effect you?

No zoom ID provided after signing up twice. I was not able to attend the meeting because I had not received any if to enter in zoom.

I did not receive a link, just an email stating I'm registered at 8:30pm EST

Ok so when you take a brake from kratom is it safe to stop without the help of another substance?

Any trusted vendors that may be able to ship overseas? Specifically Hong Kong? Would love some help cuz I haven’t heard from KRATOMID.com vendor and I think I may have been scammed :( Anyone has experience with Kratomid.com? They supposedly supply Selandy Kratom Farm Kratom? I don’t even care about reporting and wasting my time getting frustrated, I just want to be able to get some to help with my opiate detox

Hi Joey, So I started taking Kratom about three months ago, and recently realized that Im losing a ton of hair in shower. Theres also visible thinning in one spot near the center left of my hairline. I remembered that the same thing happened 2 years ago when I took Kratom for about a month, started losing lots of hair in the shower, was able to quit, and my hair loss stopped. Its been harder to quit this time. I have cut down my dose drastically, and was definitely taking way too much. But my question is, is this a known side effect, and have you talked to other people whove had this issue? My theory is that mixing the Kratom with orange juice has caused an increase in iron absorption becauseof the vitamin C, and Im experiencing iron overload .Ive switched to taking it without orange juice, and am using curcumin to deplete any excess iron. Btw, I have mad flow and my hair was emmaculate just 1 month ago (31 yrs old) zero male pattern baldness. I believe it took 3 months this time because I was taking it mostly in capsule form without orange juice the first 2 months. My Kratom is high quality and tested for heavy metals (Super Speciosa). Please let me know if you have any other ideas of what could be occurring. Thank you for everything! Thanks for all your help.

Joey- what happened to the YouTube channel? Was it shut down?

Hi Joey….ok here’s my question I’m so embarrassed but I was having trouble with my tolerance so I bought s&v BUT I also bought those ALK-tAB 40 extract pills and they weren’t hitting me so I took more and more and I made myself so sick 🤢 for two days throwing up bad diarrhea and it’s all my fault now I don’t know how much worse my tolerance is I’m thinking I need to stop for a week and then restart I don’t know what do u think 🤔 Thank u so much Joey can’t wait for ur class🥴💚

Hey Joey! So I’ve had the wobbles for almost a week. I’m taper down to get my balance back but I’m suprised my body didn’t adjust to it? Another thing… when you’re taking you max dose… is it normal to become a little stupid. Kind of like after smoking weed only not as fun. I feel like my ability to communicate just isn’t flowing…

Hey, Joey , so I’ve struggled with getting off crate him for months and months , I don’t wanna be dependent on anything, and I’m shooting for sobriety , now I am on day five and I feel just as horrible as day one , so I did a little research, but not much help if I was to take cava to get through my withdrawals. Would it be a setback? A relapse of sorts, and would I feel it for longer as far as withdraws go

Hi Joey….I have a question I bought but still waiting for magnesium, the one from Amazon, and agmatime do I also need to get vitamin C pills because I need to go on a complete kratom break I really messed up with those alt tab 40 there not working ether and I have 50 grams of stem and vein but I’m waiting to learn how to use it with ur zoom class Wednesday but now I’m sick but it’s my fault……and I don’t know if stem and vein will work for how bad I am now please let me know and is 50 grams of s&v enough or do I need another one I really can’t afford it cause all this I’m going to try was expensive but if u say it will take more I will get it thank u joey sorry to bother so much🥴😢

Hey Joey. Have been using Kratom every day for the past 3 months. I’m beginning to develop a tolerance since I no longer feel the effects. Would appreciated if you would tell me how to properly reset so I can begin to feel the benefits again. Thanks.

Hey Joey I was just wondering if you have ever thought about Red Light Therapy. It’s supposed to help with depression. I think that in conjunction with Kratom would be wonderful. I just bought me one. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that plays a role in mood, appetite, and sleep. Low levels of serotonin are linked to depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders. Another study found that red light therapy improved symptoms of depression with use just one hour a day. In addition to improving mood, red light therapy has also been shown to improve brain function. Multiple studies found that red light therapy improved cognitive performance in people with dementia and Alzheimer's. Another study found that this light therapy improved symptoms of ADHD in children. Red light therapy is also being studied as a potential treatment for concussion and Traumatic Brain Injury. A concussion is a type of brain injury that can cause symptoms like headache, nausea, and dizziness. I was just think about you. ♥️♥️♥️

What's up people. I started using kratom a few years ago, but am not a daily user. Despite taking relatively low doses (3-6 grams) twice or three times a week, I notice that my hair thins dramatically days after using Kratom. And when I stop for a month or two, it starts growing back slowly. Does anyone else experience hair loss while taking kratom? And If so, how do you mitigate it? I would hate to give up Kratom entirely because of this side effect. I wonder if it has anything to do with other factors like quality, or contaminants. I appreciate any feedback I can get. Joey... keep doing your thing brother. You're amazing my dude!

Hi Joey, First off, thank you so much for everything you do for this community. There is so little qualified information on Kratom, and you seem very informed and selfless in your supply of information. I know that kratom and alcohol should not be mixed. However, I have certainly mixed them before, though not deliberately. I would take an evening dose of about 4g and then have a drink or two with dinner a bit later. I have not experienced any negative side effects, but certainly do not want to have anything happen. How long would you recommend keeping in between doses of kratom and drinking alcohol?

Hi Joey I’m going to order from art of kava what would u recommend for head heavy and body heavy is there one that does both that u have tried or I need two for the defferent affects thank u so much Joey😁

Have you heard of anyone trying to get off Kratom by using LDN. To use LDN, you would have to go off any opiates for a week and then start using LDN or can you start the LDN because Kratom is not a true opiate?

Hey Joey, just watched your video on the energy drinks and ordered a 12 pack. Then I rewatched the video and realized its 40mg kratom extract. Ive never taken any extracts, ive been a daily user since August 22’ i take .5g capsules 1-2 times daily. Will this 40mg kratom extract in this drink overwhelm me?

What’s the equivalent of 40 mg kratom extract in the seltzer to the normal kratom powder dose? I usually take 1.5 to 2 grams kratom powder dose rn and wondering if it would be similar or less effective or more potent? I’ve never tried extract before but interested in the seltzers after the new vid!

Hey, I recently stopped kratom on Feb 13 for many reasons....I was doing way too much, my libido cratered, my skin got super dry, I worry about traveling to states where it's illegal, it freaked me out when I started waking up in the middle of the night and not able to sleep unless I did a dose, etc..... Anyway, my skin is still super dry and my libido is very slowly returning, but I would like to speed up the process for both....any ideas on how to do that or is it simply a matter of time?

Hi Joey sorry for my last message the five.me customer service is calling me today to help me😁…… ok my question is I’m not feeling my kratom and I bought blackseed powder extract it’s not helping at all but I know it’s cause I bought a small variety pack of extracts awhile back and I’m taking way to much kratom and no matter how much I take it wont work so know I need a reset I have ur book so I know what to do but do u recommend I use stem and vein or that magnesium the calm brand with Agmatine I order them all so what do u think I should do till they get here I’m tired of taking so much cause I’m running out quick should I at least take half my dose so I don’t withdraw so much…..Thank You u so much Joey😁

Hey - wondering if you have an updated stem and vein taper method. I’ve watched your videos on it, just curious if you have any updates & if you’d be able to lay your favorite protocol out to me. Thanks Joey!

Long time listener, first time caller! Lol First I want to say I really love what you do. Your video on gas station vs online kratom is what sparked this conversation. I’ve been clean off of heroin 7years. I’ve tried everything from methadone to suboxzone to stay off opiates. Kratom is the only thing that has helped. I’ve been taking it off and on for a few years. I started out buying from the mini mart by my house until I discovered you could buy it online cheaper. I’ve been getting it thru Botanical Remedies. I just ordered some from Krabot for the first time, so I’m excited to try it. I digress, sorry! My question is, do you have any thoughts or experience on why gas station brands make it feel like someone has been kicking me in my kidneys all night when I’m sleeping or why it doesn’t seem to digest properly? I’ve notice little granules in my morning movement if I have to buy gas station brands. Thank you, Travis

Hi Joey my name is Michelle from Toronto Ontario,Canada trying to book a 30 min zoom call with u after reading book which was inspirational, and now due to Health reasons I must taper off Kratom.Been watching your videos from day 1 and now after all the great information it's time to End Kratom for sustainable life. Please let me know how this works on zoom being in Toronto Canada because the timezones on your option for booking u didn't show Toronto? [email protected]

Hi Joey bought yur book spot on seems like I had exact side effects as u taking Kratom. How to zoom private conversations?

I’m currently using kratom for chronic pain and anxiety, unfortunately I have developed a dependency on it. I’m doing at home ketamine therapy for anxiety and depression. My question is.. Do you have any idea how these 2 interacts together? They say not to take it for 24 hours prior but that’s not reasonable at this point. I have not noticed any negative effects myself, just curious what you know about this🤓 Thanks! Your videos have helped me immensely

Hi, I’m new to Kratom! I started taking it a few weeks ago. I’ve been taking about 1/2 teaspoon once or twice a day. I’m really nervous about getting dependent on it so, I just suffer through my anxiety most of the time except for the few hours of relief I get from Kratom. I’m also tapering off of 1 mg of Klonopin. If I were to take 1/2 teaspoon of Kratom 3 times a day would that cause me to get too depended on Kratom. I’ve also been using just stem and vein on two days out of the week and sometimes I take Kava instead of Kratom. I buy my Kratom and Kava through the people that Joey recommends. My anxiety is at an all time high and I need to relax.

Hi Joey! I first want to tell you that you are amazing and thank you for helping so many people. I’m new to Kratom. I’m taking 1/2 teaspoon of green and sometimes red Kratom once a day. I have sever anxiety and depression. The anxiety is worse though. Im currently tapering off of 1 mg of Klonopin. Im nervous about becoming dependent on the Kratom so, I mostly just suffer and take that same dose and not increase the Kratom. I’ve also been taking Stem and Vein twice a week instead of Kratom. Im so nervous and scared and not sure what to do. I would really like to increase it to 1/2 teaspoon twice a day. Is it possible to become dependent on that much! Also is there a Kratom out there that you recommend that will help me the most. Oh and also I have been drinking Kava every other day. Any advice you could give me I would greatly appreciate. Thank you once again for being there for all of us. ♥️♥️♥️

I take kratom and I know I need a tolerance break cause I messed up with extracts I did buy the black seed powder extract u take and I don’t know how to use it I took a teaspoon and it hurt my stomach bad then I tried 1/8 of a teaspoon it still hurt my stomach please tell me how u do it and I get the same brand of kratom u do but I got the 10 pack medium sample pack how long should I take a break and I’m on klonopin I have a real bad nerve problem I shake in side my body and out side my body that’s why I need them but I just need some help please sorry so long I just want u to know what I’m going through oh and I tried kava it didn’t work for me and I bought ur book❤️

Hello Joey, Hope you are doing well. I am a 55 year old female. I have been dealing with treatment resistant depression and anxiety for 13 years. I have been through ect and ketamine treatment. I am on 4 meds a day. I came across Kratom about three months ago. I have been purchasing Special Speciosa brand. For the first time in 13 years I can feel some motivation and energy. It is a blessing. I take a teaspoon twice a day which is the equivalent to 2400mg per teaspoon approximately . That’s all I’ve done. I have tried a variety but the green Maeng Da is the most helpful. I know you can only give your opinion and it would greatly be appreciated. Do you have a suggested routine that would be the safe and healthy way to proceed?

Hey Joey, In your opinion what is the absolute best strain for severe chronic pain.

Hi Joey, Thank you so much for all your advice. I was just wondering if I could just use the stem and vein Kratom instead of the ordinary Kratom? I'm a new starter so I haven't used anything yet but with all the good things I'm hearing about the stem and vein, couldn't that be used on it's own? Would the effect be as good or do you need to take the Kratom leaf with it? I thought this may be a good way to start without too much of the worry of building a tolerance to it. Thanks again and please keep the great work up. Mary.

Hey Joey, With all of your firsthand knowledge and experience regarding Kratom what is the most efficient red strain for severe chronic pain, and do you recommend a particular vendor and strain?

Hey Joey just watched the new vid, I’m wondering if there’s a dosage guide that compares how much crushed leaf to put in your tea as to how much regular kratom powder it would equate too?

Hey Joey, sorry I had to take the cheap way and join for free. Unfortunately at the moment I’m so broke from dumping all my money into gas station kratom I can’t even afford a 1:1 lol 😩😅. My story is probably a very typical one. Former heroin/fentanyl addict who was prescribed suboxone for 6+ years. I’m about 8 weeks off of opiates however I’m stuck on OPMS extracts and can not for the life of me lower my dose or even so much as afford to keep up with my dosage. I recently purchased agmatine, c-1000, and calm like you had suggested. They’re working amazing. I’m browsing kratob website and I’m just curious what you would suggest for me to purchase. Because im an opiate or sedative person by nature Im needing a strain that will give me a more sedated feeling and will relive the almost impossible to deal with anxiety I feel 24/7 I know you’ve said before red is the way to go for sleep/ calming effect but with so many options on krabot im not sure which one to get. With funds being so low right now I just want to be sure I make the right choice cause I won’t be able to order something else for a while, Also I do want to say Joey the work your doing and the time you devote to educating the world on the kratom is so deeply appreciated, you really are a god send.

When do you take the black seed oil? Do you take it every time you dose your kratom?

Hi joey I’ve been taking kratom since last august red and green and I’ve never hit that sweet spot everyone talks about even when I increase and potentiators don’t work for me what am I doing wrong that it doesn’t work for me I want it for pain and anxiety

Have you considered making a second version could be same colors but different strains. I asked this before but I phrased it wrong.

All I want to know is what r each red,white,n green r for I mainly take the white for energy but the red n green I've tried but don't really know what there for. Thank u debi

Joey my question is about kava. Unfortunately I can not get Kratom in my state and am really looking to help my anxiety. I have tried kava and I don’t feel any different. I’m scared to keep drinking as I don’t want to get the the stomach upset. Everyone always has answers that are different as to how much is too much? My anxiety also keeps me from drinking more thinking it’s going to make me feel weird. Any advice? I have art of kava vanuatu puariki with the Aluball shaker. The suggested dose is 3 tbsp. But that does nothing. I drank this for about 2 weeks straight.

I was wondering if you ever considered making a second version of your blend with different strains?

Joey how does one use black seed oil capsules to taper down the Kratom capsules

Could you recommend a good black seed brand to use please , and besides , grape fruit juice , vitamin c , or caffeine are there other good ones that help with kratom

Hi joey I’m wondering if you have others from Ireland in your group that could maybe share if they have a reputable supplier as most American sites don’t ship to Ireland

I been taking kratom for 4 months for anxiety and depression and Im at the point where my dose is to high and I just feel overwhelmed all day. (Chasing the dragon) I bought stem and vein powder to taper down to lower my dose or to just quit. Do I need to brew it or can I just simply mix it with a beverage? Thanks you so much for making these videos and helping me with my mental health.

Hello Joey , I started using Kratom almost 2 years ago , I was looking to get away from other substances I no longer wanted to use that didn’t serve me anymore , ei alcohol, marijuana . Someone put me onto kratom and at first I barely noticed anything , after finding my , -sweet spot I was very pleased with how it alleviated my symtoms of depression and anxiety , brain fog and intrusive thoughts. I thought wow! This is how I feel I’ve always wanted to feel!! I feel “ normal” my sense of well being that I had never felt before. It almost seemed to good to be true . I’ve been ordering from a company called canadakratomstore. I haven’t really tried any other sources . How do I know what I’m taking is actually Kratom? Is there a way to test the purity? I feel kindof stupid not thinking of this before . There seems to be more and more concerning testimonials of people having “scary “ experiences with Kratom and getting off it, my last break lasted almost 7 days, I started again really small but now I’m very quickly creeping back up to where I was before using it daily , I try not to go over 10 grams in two doses. I really don’t like how I feel without it and I’m concerned

is there more strains then just the green, white, red, and yellow?

Hi Joey, how can I/we get a tee-shirt?

Hi Joey so I have a question. I currently use a gas station brand of kratom. I tried krabot before but for some reason it didn't feel like it worked as well. Idk I guess I'm backwards cause I know you said that stuff is not nearly as effective. It's called relax and go. Anyway I saw the review you did on the kertom kratom and ordered the blueberry infused one and the green one. You said that the green on packed a little more punch. So what should I start my 1st dose with? I currently take 6grams 2 times a day

Hey Joey I would like to speak to you as soon as possible about starting kratom coming off opiates and let me possible way you can give me a shout back I appreciate it

Hi Joey I’m grateful I found your page my. I was taking regular kratom for about a year straight decided to get off of it took the stem and vein instead and now I want to stop taking the stem and vein. do you know the withdrawal symptoms of that? is it supposed to be the same as Kratom ? I sure hope not. I am doing a Kamba ritual on Sunday and I cannot have anything in my system for 24 hours prior. I’m concerned about how I’m going to feel.

Hey Joey, been a lot time, well long for me youttube subscriber and also bought the Kratom journal and also love the failed Christian podcast. Overall, I enjoy what you put out there. I had a question about some gummies I bought from Kats Botanicals. I have never tired the gummies and they have 15 milligrams of Mitragynine in them. I typically take 6 to 7 grams of kratom at a time and really have no idea where to start on the gummies. I was going to take 1 or 2 at first to see what they do. Any suggestions? Im 6'1 230 and have a high tolerance to things.

What goin Joey just started watching your videos I'm curious to know what strain you would recommend to wean yourself from hydrocodone? Appreciate it looking forward to your reply Thanks

Hey Joey, huge fan of your content. It’s helped me so much in using Kratom responsibly! However, I’m looking to go on a legitimate break, and the only real issue that stands in my way is I am unable to sleep when I don’t use Kratom. I get sleep paralysis too which is really uncomfortable, and so I end up using a little Kratom to get me through the night. Are there any supplements that you can recommend that can help me get a good night sleep without Kratom? I need something pretty effective, and chamomile and NyQuil have never done enough. Have you tried Qualia Night? Thanks so much man and just want to say again how appreciative I am of you and your content.

Hi Joey! What brand of black seed oil do you use? Thank you in advance!

Hi Joey, thanks again for your supportive videos! I use Krabot, however, I have to fast for 12 hours only water for some blood work. What do you suggest?

Joey I don’t remember how do u use the black seed oil capsules to taper down Regards Trish

What up Joey? I was curious why I’ve heard many people say that plant matter is not good for you? Or too much is not good for you? Why? I’ve found that odd cause the last time I checked, plant based diets are still trending.;)

So I was one of those people who rushed to stock up on stem and vein when you let us know it was back in stock, and WOW. In a matter of 4 days, I have gone from taking an average of 10g kratom powder daily to 4 grams of stem and vein — 2 grams in the morning and 2 grams in the evening. I only did the half and half the first day and then just jumped ship completely to the stem and vein because I could already tell how amazing it worked! Its only day 4, so I am still a little low energy, but most of the other crappy withdrawals — like insomnia and restless legs — have been completely mitigated by the stem and vein. Thank you so much for sharing this awesome product with us! I plan to stay at 4 g a day for maybe another week and then I would like to taper off of the stem and vein and be kratom free altogether. Do you have any suggestions for tapering off of the stem and vein other than just gradually reducing the dose; and in your opinion, will the fact that I will have been on stem and vein only for a few weeks at that point make the transition off of all kratom even easier?

Hey Joey, I’ve tried Krabot Kratom several times and liked it. The question I have is, it seems to make me a little nauseous. Is this normal? Ive only taken (flavored) 4 grams at a time max. Ps. I’ve only tried the Karuna kava (in the pouch) a few times and enjoy it as well.

Finally! This is legit! I have so many questions, but I'll stick to only a couple. (: if I am taking Calm, should I cut down my kratom dose? Also, what is the best method you have found for tapering off/down? You advice/opinion would be of significant value to me. Thank you so much for existing and for being so awesome. I greatly appreciate all of the content you have put out thus far! You rock!

Good morning Joey, got a question regarding extract powder. I brew my Kratom as a tea and make about twenty cups per batch. Can I add the extract while brewing the Kratom or add it to each cup I drink. How much would you add to the Kratom if you have 20x extract and 50x extract? Or should it be brewed like the Kratom separately? Thanks so much for all your advice.

Do the effects of Kratom last longer with higher doses, or does increasing the dose, just make it stronger? Is there any information on the potential for time released capsules of Kratom?

Hello Joey, how many grams of crushed leaf kratom equal to one gram of powdered kratom?

Just a quick question. Ive been taking .5g capsules almost daily since August, help me kick alcoholism. Ive done two kratom breaks just to keep my tolerance low. I know im on a low low low dose, and ive always kept in mind getting addicted to kratom, but I believe I’ve lost the boost of energy n focus, do you think its ok to go ahead and up to 1.0g in capsules per dose? At most i dose twice daily

My wife is quitting wellbutrin, she wants to get on the kratom train with me. She hasnt taken it in a week and has been tapering off, she is having some withdrawals from lack of wellbutrin. Should she wait to take small doses of kratom or can she use it to help with withdrawals also??? Thanks Joey

I am a one and a half year user of kratom for chronic back pain. Do you have any advice or suggestions for using kratom for chemotherapy nausea and diarrhea? Thank you for all that you do!! PJ

I know my sister and niece need help. But my sister refuses to even call her family Dr for appointment. Do you know of a way or something to say that might get her to go. I am on an antidepressant. Be my regimen is working. But when I ask her if she made appointment she says no and jumps the subject her daughter is crying for help . Thank you dory I watch you on YouTube also!

Hey Joey, I wanted to get stem and vein to taper off of kratom but I live in Wisconsin and they wont deliver there. Do you have any suggestions?

My wife is quitting wellbutrin, she wants to get on the kratom train with me. She hasnt taken it in a week and has been tapering off, she is having some withdrawals from lack of wellbutrin. Should she wait to take small doses of kratom or can she use it to help with withdrawals also??? Thanks Joey

are you a available for a zoom meeting in the future? I have a few questions about kratom. Just started taking it.

I’m looking to get off my Valium and take something else more natural instead for my severe anxiety. How would I integrate something else like Kratom or kava or saffron while tapering off my Valium during transition. Also are there any gaba herbs that would interact negatively while taken alongside with my Valium? What are some natural herbs that you would suggest to use in conjunction with my Valium to help me get off my Valium that would be safe?

I have been trying kava recently and have been using kratom for a few years, and I want to try both of them and how is your experience with sing both? Any advice please Joey you are very knowledgeable and I watch all your videos and appreciate what you do! It really helps to know others go through what I go through and understand and we are able to communicate with each other without judgement and with caring.

I have been taking kratom for 7 years. I'm looking for a reliable source of kratom that is good. I am currently using Royal Krat9m and they are lab tested and everything, but recently I've been seeing the same numbers on the bags exactly and they have been all different strains and it's not good like it once was. What brand can I use to get the benefits and feeling I used to

Hi Joey, I’ve been taking Kratom for two years now and I am wanting to stop so bad. I’m tired of the dependency and money I spend. I started working out & eating healthy but what else can I do to stop taking this. I cannot do cold Turkey since I work full time. Do you recommend supplements? Cutting back? I would love your feedback. Thanks, Sarah

Joey, if you don’t mind answering, I’d like to know what medication you are using to help aid your taper from kratom. And other supplements you are using. Also, I wanted to tell you I’m having a lot of success using NSI-189 with around 15g of kratom a day. NSI-189 really improves cognitive function, depression and increase motivation if you are interested. I use kava and agmatine sulfate along with magnesium threonate occasionally. Also nigella sativa extract from nootropics depot to potentiate. I used to use alot more kratom in the past but don’t want to go down that road again because I lost patience easily. I ended up using small amounts of buprenorphine for a short period of time to get off around 40g of kratom and don’t want to end up in that situation again. Because ideally it’s best to just taper off kratom. I’ve used memantine in the past too. Also other things like bromantane as well and other nootropics. Let’s bounce some ideas off each other

Joey i added magnesium citrate gummies to my daily vitamin dosages. And since i took green maeng da on empty stomach with my vitamins, do you think the magnesium acted as a potentiator? Joey i been taking kratom daily since august.5-1. Gram capsules. I take breaks for tolerance etc. i also rotate strains, sometimes even daily. Lately tho ive noticed two things, When i take green maeng da capsules on empty stomach now i am hit with extreme anxiety for 15-20 minutes, why would that happen all the sudden. Im also noticing that i cant sleep at night anymore, this seems to be only with my green maeng da capsules. Any idea why my body would all the sudden just stop liking this type. Like i said the dose is really small, no abuse. I also have white bali and red bali. Red bali has never had any adverse effects. I basically want to get back to sleeping on it.

How can I figure out what medications cannot be taken with kratom if my doctor doesn't have any information on kratom so they can't help..

I have such a high tolerance, nothing works for me. I started kratom in 2018, and of course worked great at first. I even stopped drinking for 6 months. But now, absolutely no effects at all, I have tried staying off completely for 3-4 days. Grapefruit, lemon juice, agmatine, doubling my dose, not doing a dose at all. Nothing works, anything new around I may not have heard of? And when I am completely off it, what can I take to get through until I start back? I have done vein and stem. I have been through chemo and radiation and many oral meds and infusions for the cancer. I am good now, but still have anxiety and depression which I had before the cancer. I really need some help. Thank you for any suggestions you can give me.

Hi Joey I'm tapering off kratom because i don't get the same benefits i use too. Iget depression and anxiety in between my dosage, i dose 3×1.30g a day. I'm looking to quit or reset my tolerance to it and i can't seem to go any lower. I've just receive some stem and veins and wondering how i would do it? Thanks

Hey Joey. I just found your videos - so so helpful. I have had restless legs for decades and been round so many prescription meds laps - none worked well. Recently I was on Tramadol and had to come off them because of tolerance. It was then I heard about Kratom so I bought some red. It really worked for rls but I have had bad insomnia, depression and anxiety. I am wondering if this is Tramadol withdrawals rather than the Kratom? I am curious to know what strains you use for depression and anxiety. Also any idea how much is too much? To keep my rls at bay and counter day time Tramadol withdrawals I take about 10 to 12g / day. Is that too much? Should I be looking to cut it down? Thanks for being there - it is a mission working through these issues as Doctors largely dont really know what to do for us.

Hi joey for the last couple of days I’ve taken 6gms of kratom twice a day and I still haven’t gotten the results should I stay increasing. New user

Is there some supplements you suggest to take while reducing your kratom dosage and trying to quit taking it all together?

Joey i been taking kratom daily since august.5-1. Gram capsules. I take breaks for tolerance etc. i also rotate strains, sometimes even daily. Lately tho ive noticed two things 1. When i take green maeng da capsules on empty stomach now i am hit with extreme anxiety for 15-20 minutes, why would that happen all the sudden. 2. Im also noticing that i cant sleep at night anymore, this seems to be only with my green maeng da capsules. Any idea why my body would all the sudden just stop liking this type. Like i said the dose is really small, no abuse. I also have white bali and red bali. Red bali has never had any adverse effects. I basically want to get back to sleeping on it.

Hey Joey can you explain about Kratom dehydration. My kidney numbers were elevated during my blood test that I have done throughout the year. I’m 65 and love Kratom. Maybe you could explain about one’s water intake. That is where I made my mistake. I wasn’t drinking much water but plenty of Kratom. Thanks for all your help.

Joey - how is your LDN taper going? What is your GPD down to or have you already hit zero?

Hi Joey ... another question I'm afraid.... have you ever looked into or attended any retreats centered around mental and physical healing along with micro dosing of any kind? Thank you in advance!

Hi Joey, i am looking to go off of Hydrocodone/acetaminophen and going onto Kratom, where do i start?

Hi Joey... thank you so much for all that you do, I have really enjoyed and appreciated all your videos on kratom. My question is ... what is your current daily regimen as far as what supplements do you take, what potentiators are you using and what kratom types are you taking and at what times of the day? I realize what works for you isn't certain to work for me as we are all different but just looking for more guidance on how exactly to lay everything out during the day and when to take everything. Thank you so much in advance :) -Gena

Joey HNY brother. I need some advice. Starting my ULDN today. Starting at 4ml 3x a day with a max of 15GPD of Kratom. How long should I do that before I increase the LDN and reduce the Kratom. I’m thinking a week but maybe I should increase the LDN before that time. Thoughts?

I think you said you were on xanax before if so how long? I have been on it over 20 years I want to get off of it, I have to take it for panic attacks and ptsd. were you addicted to it like a person with no way to go cold turkey without having seizures or did you never become dependent cause if you were dependent I would love to know how to get off this shit as comfortable as possible I take kratom for back pain and insomnia also anxiety the problem is the dr put me on this shit and its not working like it should anymore and they have me on 6mgs a day I know to taper down by like a quarter of a mg at a time but its really hard and if you know anything to make this process more tolerable I would love to know cause xanax is a nightmare trying to quit I have been hospitalized for tapering too fast and they kept me for 3 days getting back to half ass normal was one of the hardest things I ever done the dr seems to think I am a lifer but I still have a little hope I can beat this,if you have any info to help I would be eternally thankful Thank You for any info you can give me to help

Hi Joey, Found you on you tube a few months ago and wanted to say thank you. The wealth of information you have out there on kratom and kava has helped my wife, my mother and myself immensely. My mother and I both are using Kratom and my wife is interested, but has epilepsy and been seizure free for 4+ years now. I have read about there being a possibility of Kratom triggering seizures, but have not found a lot of information about that. I think that it could help her with some of the issues she deals with (headaches, low energy, and frustration/anger). Do you know anything about epilepsy & Kratom and possible links to triggering seizures? Thank you, Peter

Hey Joey, thanks for creating this community! I have been using Kratom for a few years now. My main issue is tolerance. I had a real sweet spot with powder for several months and I'd like to get back to that. I had a constipation issue with powder to switched to OMPS shots which- hey, if they were a dollar a pop, there'd be no problem. But I have gotten reliant on extract tablets, various shots and especially the MIT honey packet which I think is the best kratom available. I just got a big pack of your Pineapple blend from Krabot and I am excited to get away from concentrates and use this one daily. How long do you think I need to Withdrawl to completely reset? And my main question, how do leaf and stems fit in with this (I'm unfamiliar) and do you have a link/code to help us try some out?

Hi, Joey- I accidentally bought kratom powder instead of capsules. I bought some empties and I'm trying to fill them. Any suggestions?Thanks for your advice!

Hi Joey! So, Kratom and 'you' have been a Godsend for sure! I started taking norco for neck pain and the last thing I would have thought is getting addicted to them! I've never been a pill person. Well, I was addicted for almost two years. My Mom passed on this past Halloween and November 1st, 2022 I quit norco cold turkey! Yes, it was extremely hard but I was done. Thank God I had read from your YouTube videos about Kratom. So, I initially was taking the red Kratom for opiate withdrawals and it helped tremendously. I'm now looking for something for deep depression and mood elevator. I just ordered a mixture of mostly white, then green and a lil bit of red in one mixture. I'm hoping the white will help me the most with my depression. Since my Mom died my depression is just crazy bad! I know your story and losing a child has to be the most emotional thing to ever go through! I take your opinion and advice to heart, so do you think I'm taking the right blend or what would you suggest for very deep depression? Thank you!

Hey Joey! Trying out this new way to reach you lol So yeah I was trying less is more today and not able to focus, not motivated as usual and apathetic despite feeling good lol I usually take 5g 3-4x a day plus 2 servings of your pineapple flavored tea. No shots right now. Today took 4g 3x and 2 serving of tea. What would you suggest for tomorrow please.? Thanks friend!

Joey what’s your LDN dose at currently? Saw your vid that your current tapered Kratom use was about 12g per day and was curious as to what dose LDN you were with 12GPD. THX

Hey Joey, I been taking karuna kava atleast 15-18 times and ehhh at best. I just ordered kavakwik sample pack. Each tube is 1 serving, any advice on these??? I want to relaxing, meditating effects of it but dont want to go too far. Thanks bud

Hey joey To you know loperamid?

Hey Joey. I'm currently at an 18gs 4-5 times per day habit and don't know where to even begin with tapering. You mentioned a secret medication that's been helping you reduce your intake and I was wondering what thay might be.

I also am having an awful time with tolerance and withdrawals. I was having such good results with Kratom over the last three years, I went off my Wellbutrin and Adderrall (almost). I’m four months off the anti-depressant, still take Adderrall and Kratom isn’t working. I’ve never taken more than 4-6 grams a day but I’ve taken it in some form every day for almost two years. I am almost 70, healthy, but I work a physical job six days a week. My body is tired so I use Kratom for energy, a little pain relief. I have a slum landlord who refuses to lift a finger for anything. The Kratom keeps me from taking a flame thrower to this place. (I’m really joking, I wouldn’t do it). I don’t have a specific question but I’m putting this out there in case anyone has gone off depression medicine thinking Kratom will take its place and has decided to go back on their meds in conjunction with Kratom. Maybe that’s why I’m having a “Kratom crisis”. I’ve never taken as many grams a day as some others have so I’m wondering why it’s not working. I feel some effects but they only last one or two hours and then I’m angry, aggressive and impatient. I’ve taken this week off work(and I love my job and can’t afford to take time off)to take a Kratom break and I can’t because I can’t function. Also, I just went to Organa Kratom’s website to order some stem & vein and use JoeyTalks for 15% off and was told that didn’t exist. What’s up?

I have been taking Kratom for about 3 years. What is the best strain for happiness and euphoric feelings? I usually use White Maeng Da currently and also used Green MD and White Tai. Thoughts? I am so happy to be apart of this group. Kratom has been a godsend.

I have been taking kratom for four years. I always purchase from tobacco shops, as I do not know where else to purchase. Where am I to buy better quality product, or is the tobacco shop as good as anywhere else? I take it for depression and anxiety in conjunction with antidepressants. I am in Texas, if that makes a difference. Thanks for the great content

What medication are you using to taper?

I am having a terrible time with tolerance, I have done all the, grapefruit, lemon juice, agmatine, etc. any advice?

Hey Joey, I’ve been taking kratom for years for neuropathy pain. I usually only take 10-12 gms per day. I’m trying to decide whether to taper or increase my dose as I don’t get the same relief. The pain is pretty bad so I’d prefer to increase the dose. Do you have guideline regarding the daily dose at which you’d taper/ take a break rather than increase the dose?

Hey Joey! In the micro dosing you did with naltrexone… I’m assuming those were capsules that you opened up and put in the apple juice? I must have missed that step in the video so I wanted to clarify? And if yes, did you put the whole capsule in?

So ive been taking kratom capsules daily since august. Im using it to stop drinking and to just have a better daily life. Luckily ive been able to take only 1-2 capsules a day. So max i take is 1 gram lol, i get focus and energy and just am in a better mood. Yesterday i finally took 3 caps in one day, today i woke up and have a headache and feel a lil out of it. So my guess is i over did it, but is kratom like alcohol, where as if you have a kratom(alcohol) hangover you can take it again and fix urself??? Thanks Joey love your work. Kratom is an amazing supplement

Joey- the day you started microdosing LDN did you experience any changes in your Kratom feeling or experience? For better or worse

Hey Joey, love your work my man. You have to try Hybrid Kratom from Krave. It is not a blend, but rather the creators, actually spliced different plants to get this product. I have tried every kratom product I can find this is the ONLY one that gave me a opiate like feeling. Thing is though you have to take 12 capsules (6mg) to get the desired effect. Pain in the ass, but they just came out with a powder, so I need to try that. Keep it up my guy, your doing great work.

Hi, Joey. I don't have a question (yet!lol). I just wanted to tell you I appreciate you. I started kratom a year ago after seeing it on some vape web stores I buy from. I was transitioning between jobs at the time and using alcohol to escape the extreme stress I felt. As I was researching how best to utilize kratom, your video turned out to be consistently useful, without making it the end-all-be-all or the absolute evil that some creators end up doing. Kratom ain't perfect but, in part because of you, I can ENGAGE with my life instead of trying to drown it away. Thanks, bro.

Hey I been taking kratom for about 8 months for pain. Was taking to many naproxen and it just wasn't helping so I switched to kratom and it's helped alot. But I need to take a break from kratom. But when I do take a break I'm in pain . So does kava help with pain

Hi joey Ireland subscriber I’m new to kratom got my first red from uk company it was brown had no effect I thought it may have been a bad batch but the next one was just as disappointing took 2 tablespoons after slowly increasing to no effect do you think they they were bad so disappointing using for pain and anxiety

I heard you mentioned a way to taper and stop using kratom with a medication? Can you tell me more about that?

Hey Joey! Your YouTube content has been super helpful so thank you so much for that! I take Kratom daily, about 4 doses a day, totaling about 13-16 grams on average. From what I have read online and seen in your videos, Kava looks like a great alternative to that end of the day beer for someone who quit drinking (personally through the use of Kratom). Just curious if you could share how you use the two in conjunction. Anything to be aware regarding dosage or interaction between the two? Thanks!

I want to take kratom but don't want to become dependent. Is that possible?

I've been taking kratom for a while and I no longer feel the effects from it… why is that?

Hey Joey, I love your channel! I am a kratom newbie, and I'm not sure the best way to be measuring the grams. Can I just use a teaspoon?

Since staring kratom I’ve noticed my sex drive decreased… is this common?

Is there a way to minimize withdrawals and get off kratom?

I am hiding my kratom use from my girlfriend. Do you think I should tell her about it?

What are some of the best potentiators you've used?

Joey, how often should I be taking Kratom? Right now, I take a 2-gram dose, but In the middle of the day, I no longer feel the effects.

Joey, I found your videos on YouTube. I currently take 2 tsps of kratom every 5 hours, but I feel like I've built up a tolerance, and I am no longer feeling the effects. What can I do?

Hi Joey, I currently take 2-3 doses every day and I feel that the effects are not the same anymore…. What can I do??

Hey Joey, How many days can I take kratom in a row before I must take a tolerance break?

I am a 68-year-old with chronic pain issues. I have been on opioids for several years but my doctor refuses to increase my dosage. I've been on the same dosage for over 3 years as my condition gets worse. I want to use kratom for pain relief and perhaps some mood enhancement. Can you advise me on which type to order?

Hey Joey, yesterday I took kratom for the first time, I took one gram and did not feel anything… I want to try again today but I'm not sure how much I should take this time.

Hi Joey, I am currently going through opioid withdrawal and looking to kratom for relief. I know there are different strains but I am not sure which strain would best benefit me right now.

I have been using Kratom for 12 years with beautiful results, I started taking it because of an injury that left me with numerous broken bones, and prescription pain meds were not cutting it. The only drawback from Kratom is the flavor… Do you have any recommendations?

Hey Joey my name is Rachel. I just got my 1st order of joeytalks blend from krabot. Before I was taking Kat’s Botanicals from my local smoke shop. I take 6 gm with OJ. Should I take a small dose with your blend?? If so what would you recommend?

Hey Joey, thanks for creating this community! I have been using Kratom for a few years now. My main issue is tolerance. I had a real sweet spot with powder for several months and I'd like to get back to that.

Hi, Joey- I accidentally bought kratom powder instead of capsules. I bought some empties and I'm trying to fill them. Any suggestions?Thanks for your advice!

Hi Joey, I fell into the trap, and I am currently using entirely too much Kratom. I am interested in knowing the name of the medication that you took to help you taper off. I did not realize that a high dose of Kratom could eventually cause worsening depression. I take one of the 150 mg press tablets, sometimes one and a half, for my depression and terrible pain due to a car accident. I know this is too much, and I want to do a taper, ar the proper way. I appreciate all of your advice and all of your videos! Right now, my depression is so bad I can barely think. Will your guide show me how to taper off this completely, so I can start fresh again ? Thank you for everything that you do for us. You are very appreciated.
