Iamshammon has been offering this more potent form of kratom called the 15 X kratom, not sure what that exactly means but I decided to give it a shot and, WOW, works great and you only need a little bit as it is ground up very fine. 1/2 teaspoon does the trick for a few hours. It is a bit pricey but well worth it.
I don't work for them but did want to plug this awesome new product!

With a great deal of hesitation (it is pricey), I too tried the 15X kratom from IAS. I take it on days I don't take hydro's and give myself a break. I have found I don't need to take as much to get some measure of relief by about a third. The cost does bother me so the next time I order I am going to buy the cheaper stuff to compare. The 15X may be worth it or maybe not.

If anyone is interested I can provide an update.

I don't work for IAS and I have never recommended any vendor on this board before. I have to confess I bought the resin and am unsure how much to take so the "lump" is still untouched in the bag. I have read all of the posts here about it but I am still hesitant..

What can I say, chick chick chicken! LOL

I tried one 50 gr batch of 15x from PAH. Takes about a week to get here. I liked it. But I just got some superior premium and not sure I can tell that much difference. But I plan to compare again since I don't use it constantly. I have never found kratom to provide the pain relief of the meds I take. But if I am not feeling that bad and want to take a break, or run short a few days to a refill, I found it works very well. I have tried the resin also recently, but measuring doses is difficult with it. I do like capsulizing the fine powders. I am still kind of experimenting with the stuff. And it is expensive when you really break it down. Just my thoughts.

Just a quick update on the kratom resin. I confess I did get the nerve to try it, took two pea sized chunks and downed them with my herbal tea. The impact was quick and the tummy ache was horrid. I obviously didn't do it right and the resin is back in the bag in the back of my medicine drawer. I tell myself I am saving it for a rainy day. Since I live in the desert, and we are having a drought, it may be a while before I open the bag again.

The plus was it worked and worked quickly. The minus was I spent a lot of time in the bathroom with an upset tummy. (My error )

has anyone used www.iamshaman.com? for Kratom

A.Codi~
I'm not sure what I ordered from them but I used them a few times and experienced with different grades of kratom. I would use them again. Very professional, quick shipping, etc.
Best to you.

Codi, I use IAS all the time and am very happy with them. I haven't tried the 15x powder yet, mostly because of the price and several people have said it's not much better than the 10x.

Occasionally I get the powder, especially if I'm only using it once in a while as it gives me a nice, mellow effect. Mostly, though, I'm using it as a substitute for hydro and the resin is easier to handle.

Also, if you order from them more than a couple of times, you get a coupon code for discounts. Not shilling, just my experience...

Thank you so much Redd & Cat Lady, and I appreciate your quick response. They have alot of interesting items, so it has me curious about possibly giving them a try.
I hope you Ladies have a great day!

Codi, with IAS you also get a sample of a choice of 3 other herbs if your original order is over a certain amount. I usually get the Kava, which seems to affect me somewhat like a little bit of Valium, mellow and laid back but not really 'high.' Let me know how your experience goes if you order from them.

CatLady

Okay, thanks so much Catlady.
I appreciate the info, and I'll let you know once I go over the site with my husband, because he may want something.
I'll let ya know, though.

Codi, just wanted you to know that I got a new batch of IAS 10x powder and it still works for me. I had started going into w/d from running out of both hydro and Tramadol yesterday when I picked up the package and I don't think I would have got through the rest of the work day without it!

For some strange reason, though, it seems to be giving me a little nausea, which it never has before. But I can live with that, and it also seems to be helping the pain better than usual, so maybe it's just stronger all around.
