Best Kratom For Euphoria And Anxiety: Can You Use The Same Strains?

The best kratom for euphoria is green kratom followed by white kratom. If you want a more downbeat euphoria, go for a good, rich, red strain like red Borneo or Bali.

Finding the best kratom for euphoria and anxiety relief can be exciting but also problematic.

In this complete guide, I’m going to cover these two slightly different topics for you, because the kratom types and dosage you use for euphoria will be slightly different to those the deal with anxiety problems.

Within this guide I’m going to be talking about kratom from the following three sellers, all of who are highly reliable over many years:

•    Kona Kratom - unsung heroes with a huge range of powder, extracts, capsules, and variety packs
•    MIT45 Kratom Shots - the strongest liquid kratom shots you will find
•    Kratora - an incredible range of kratom powder and variety packs at good prices

Kratom Types, Vein Colors & Strains: What’s Important And What’s Not?

When it comes to choosing the best kratom strain for euphoria or dealing with anxiety, there are several considerations:
•    The vein color produces different effects (green, red, or white)
•    The strains can be slightly different (different greens for example)
•    Extracts and ultra-enhanced kratom are very different
•    Maeng Da kratom can be a real wildcard (good or bad)
•    Alkaloid/milligram dosage range is vital (good quality kratom)

1.    The vein color is an important choice because they produce slightly different effects:
•    White kratom is the most energizing and focusing
•    Green kratom is the middle ground and (usually) milder
•    Red kratom is more sedating

2.    People talk about different strains like Borneo and Bali. Don’t take too much notice of those, because what’s classified as a type of kratom varies wildly, and several different “strains” be exactly the same kratom from the same kratom producer (good example: Indo, Malay, Borneo, and Kalimantan can all relate to the exact same kratom powder from the island of Borneo).

3.    Extracts and ultra-enhanced kratom are highly concentrated versions and you’ll need much lower doses, but they are more expensive.

4.    Maeng Da is not a name for a real kratom strain. It means “pimp grade” in Indonesian. It’s a marketing term. So don’t just assume that anything labelled Maeng Da is stronger, because it’s often not. But, if you can get genuinely blended kratom that’s stronger than normal, then yes, Maeng Da can be worth the price premium.

5.    When it comes to buying good quality kratom, the most important thing is the overall dose in milligrams or alkaloid content percentage. This is far more important than the strain or exact format you use.

Let’s Talk About Kratom And Euphoric Feelings

Kratom can produce a euphoric high. There are three variations of this, depending on the vein color you choose:

1.    White kratom can produce a euphoric high that is very energizing compared to the other kratom strains, but it can be too jittery for some.
2.    Red kratom can produce a euphoric high that is close to an opiate high. However, at high doses, this can tail off into almost complete sedation.
3.    Green kratom is a fantastic middle ground. Great for euphoric feelings, with slight energy retention, and not too sedating.

However, it’s important to tell you that the stronger the dose, the more euphoria of any type of kratom starts to merge into a single increasing sedation. Don’t think the different strains or types of kratom will keep that at bay.

So, we are talking about doses that aren’t too extreme kratom to get into that euphoric high state.

For me, the best kratom strain for euphoria is a green kratom strain. Don’t get hung up on the strain itself, because Green Malay , Green Borneo, Green Indo, all of those will produce pretty much identical euphoric feelings at around the 8 – 10 g dose level.

Kratom extracts can also produce an intense euphoric high. Be very careful with them, especially 50 x extracts, because they are very potent. Even a 1-2 g dose can produce a euphoric high in some people.

What’s The Best Kratom For Euphoria?

Don’t get hung up on the strain for euphoria. Pretty much any kratom will give you a euphoric high as long as you hit the right dosage range. White kratom strains produce a more energized high, and red kratom strains for opiate-like blissful high. Green kratom sits in the middle and is often found the best balance.

So, for me, the best kratom for euphoria is green kratom followed by white kratom. If you want a more downbeat euphoria, go for a good, rich, red strain like red Borneo or Bali.

Kratom Dosage For Euphoria/Getting High

When we are looking at using kratom, it’s impossible to give you the exact dose because the alkaloid content varies so wildly, as does the quality of the kratom. That’s before you even look at vein colors, different strains, and different types of kratom available.

You can really only bracket kratom roughly into gram dosage ranges as follows:
•    Beginners dose of 1 – 2 g
•    Low moderate dose of 3 – 4 g
•    Full-spectrum moderate dose of 5 – 6 g
•    High full-spectrum dose 7 – 8 g
•    Euphoric dose of around 9 – 10 g
•    Sedating dose anything over 8 g (depending on how you react to kratom)

I’m sorry I can’t be more precise, but there are too many variables, including how you personally react to kratom. It’s a central nervous system depressant, and some people have a fantastic time, while other people struggle with it.

For me, if you are a complete beginner, start at the bottom of what I just described in terms of gram dosage levels, and work your way up a bracket at a time for each experience until you find a level that gives you the feeling you want.

Choosing The Best Kratom For Anxiety

Using kratom for anxiety can be very problematic because at low doses it can be quite energizing like caffeine. It can also be a bit uneven in its effects.
So, it could actually increase your anxiety in the same way that drinking caffeine or alcohol can with lower amounts.

Using kratom for anxiety is all about a moderate dose that is going to be just enough to dull you down and chill you out, but not enough to remove your desire to do anything other than sit around staring into space.

White kratom is not the best for anxiety at low doses because it has more alkaloids relating to caffeine in it.
Therefore, we are looking at moderate doses of green or red kratom. Any green or red kratom strain will do, it really doesn’t matter. What matters is the quality of the kratom.

A dose of around 4 – 6 g should be about right with good quality kratom to chill you out but still give you command of social functions.

Using Kratom For Social Anxiety Problems

When we are talking about using kratom for social anxiety, we are talking about taking enough to allow you to have the calmness and confidence to interact socially.
You’re just looking to take the edge off yourself. That means a low to moderate dose of around 4-6 g of good quality kratom. You could try white kratom I highly recommend White Malay, and you may find it gives you confidence, but you could find it a little jittery still.

Red kratom will chill you out, but any red strain, red Borneo, whatever, could calm you down too much.

Green kratom is that great middle ground, and any green kratom strain could be a great place to start experimenting with it around the full gram dose level.

How Do I Start Choosing And Experimenting With Kratom?

As you can see, it’s quite difficult to give you precise details on dosing or strains to use.

Part of the problem is that the strains you buy in bags in America, or elsewhere, are packaged up for wholesale. They may not be from the region they say, theycould be blended, they could be completely different types of kratom. You just don’t know.

Maeng Da can be great. Potent and strong, but only if you buy it from a reputable seller who guarantees a higher alkaloid content than the standard kratom powder.

Maeng Da should literally just be a stronger kratom, which means a single strain of any type, or even a blend.
If you can get good quality white, red, or green blended Maeng Da from a reputable kratom vendor then sure, give it a go because you’ll need less powder.

The vein color is the most important starting point for anxiety and euphoric experimentation.

Although it’s dose-dependent, with them all feeling very much the same at the low dose range, and again as the dose becomes overwhelming, it’s in that “sweet spot” range, between 4 g and around 8 g that you will potentially feel significant differences between the vein colors.
So, to recap:

Advertisement

•    Go with good-quality red kratom if you want to chill out and remove anxiety. For the most opiate-like high and euphoria, it’s also most likely to give you that.
•    Go with good quality green kratom if you want to remove social anxiety at lower levels, or you’d like a euphoric high.
•    Go with white kratom if you’d like to energizingly remove some of your anxiety, or you’d like a euphoric experience that is not as sedating as with red kratom.

Overall, your kratom journey will be about experimentation. That will take several months, but enjoy each experience and work through the different ways you can enjoy kratom.

1.    Start with good quality variety packs from one of the retailers I’m recommending in a moment.
2.    Once you get to know kratom, you can focus on different vein colors to get the best experience and the effects you want.
3.    For the best efficiency you can then focus on strains you find better from a certain retailer.
4.    Only when you are really experienced with understanding the different feelings should you move into investing money in things like kratom extracts, ultra-enhanced kratom, and Maeng Da.

•    All have good prices

•    Quality and purity guarantee

Kona Kratom

I only discovered Kona Kratom last year, but they are a fantastic kratom retailer. They have an amazing range of kratom products: capsules, powder and extracts available at fantastic prices.

Choose the type of kratom you want, and you can select different amounts of powder, or capsules instantly. For example, 350 capsules of genuinely stronger Red Maeng Da kratom right now, perfect for euphoria, costs just $99.

MIT45 Kratom Shots

Kratom shots are great for energy, euphoria, and dealing with anxiety. Down one just before a social experience and they will help to deal with social anxiety. Be careful about the strength though, as the strongest (Super K Extra Strong) has an incredible 1300 mg of kratom alkaloids in a single shot.
A great kratom product for social anxiety is MIT45 Go.  150 mg of kratom, great tasting, and it will smooth you out for that important moment.

BuyKratom (Kratora)

I’ve loved this company for years. A fantastic range of kratom powders with high purity. More than that though, they do kratom capsules, extracts, ultra-enhanced, and even chewable gummies stuffed with good quality kratom alkaloids.

But I’ll finish by pointing you toward their variety packs. The widest range and best value will find anywhere. If you are just beginning with kratom, grab the red strain variety pack that contains seven different types of kratom for just $50.

KRATOM FAQ

Is Kratom Bad For Your Liver?

Kratom is not bad for your liver as long as you are sensible. If you are using the minimum possible doses, as few per week as possible times, then you will be fine.

Advertisement

Kratom can be bad for your liver if you are taking moderate to strong doses more days of the week than not, over months and years.

There have been a very few reported cases of liver damage using kratom, but this has usually been when someone has either been taking extreme doses of kratom every day for months on end, or has been taking kratom along with something else which has the potential for liver damage, such as alcohol, which doubles the pressure on the liver beyond normal levels.

What Are Kratom Receptors?

The receptors in the body that kratom is an agonist of are the opioid receptors. These are the receptors that are triggered by use of opiate medication and drugs.

Advertisement

Only discovered in the 1960s, the opioid receptors are receptor sites in the body that work as inhibitory receptor sites. There are three different types: Delta, kappa, and mu receptors, that have slightly different responses and roles.

These help to regulate things like pain relief, mood, hunger, physical and emotional response, levels of endorphins, euphoria, and even respiratory interaction.

What Is Kratom Legally Used For?

Kratom has no legal uses. It is not a substance that is licensed by the FDA, or anyone else, for any purpose.

However, it is not illegal to buy or use in most American states. It is illegal in some other countries, such as the UK because it is covered by the psychoactive substances act though.

However, although not legal for any purpose, it is widely used for self-medication purposes (removing physical pain, and dealing with opiate withdrawal), as well as helping with things like levels of energy and focus, emotional calmness and anxiety, and as a recreational euphoric substance.

What Are The Benefits Of Kratom?

There are several really good benefits from using kratom. First, it can replace full opiate medications in terms of its ability to calm you down, chill you out, and take away pain, but without as much addictive tendency with repeated use.

Kratom can also take away anxiety and increase your focus and energy levels (different types of kratom and doses can achieve different things).

Plus, kratom can give you a lot of social confidence, and even a euphoric high. So it’s a full spectrum of effects from recreational through psychological, and into medicinal.

How Does Kratom Help With Depression And Anxiety?

In terms of depression, kratom can lift you up. Moderate doses of white or green kratom especially, can give you a notable increase in energy and focus levels. You will feel good, calm, focused, and your cares will drift away. This allows you to remove and minimize depressive feelings to some extent, allowing you to function more.

In fact, studies over the years have shown that kratom does demonstrate some affinity the serotonin and dopamine receptor sites due to some of the alkaloids it contains, which can positively affect mood.

Advertisement

In terms of anxiety, if you are looking to chill out, then this means mostly using red or green kratom, used at doses of around 4 g to 6 g, which will be enough to keep you energized, but also act as a calming substance.

What Organs Are Affected By Kratom?

The only organ which is really affected by kratom is the liver. Even then, only if you take high doses frequently. This can lead to stress on the liver, in the same way as things like opiate medications and alcohol.

But generally, kratom is mild in its effects on the body, and is well tolerated by most people unless they already have other addictions, underlying health problems, or they are using incredibly high doses of kratom frequently.

How Long Does Kratom Last?

The effects of kratom kick in after about 30 minutes, and peak after around 90 minutes. Depending on your metabolism, and whether you have an empty or full stomach, this can be shorter or longer.

On an empty stomach, especially at a higher dose, you could start to feel the effects in as little as 15 minutes. With an empty stomach the full effects could well be hitting you within 60 minutes.

Once you hit that peak, it will start to tail down over a couple of hours. In total, a dose of kratom in an average person will be felt for around three hours, but the tail down can last another hour or so if it’s a strong dose.

Can Kratom Be Used As An Antidepressant?

Although you should be very careful using anything off label as an antidepressant, kratom does have evidence for being used as one successfully.

Kratom can give you energy and focus. It can chill you out and remove dark thoughts. It can make you feel calm and happy. Emotionally, it can help as long as you are sensible and know how to use kratom.

In terms of evidence as an antidepressant, studies have shown that kratom not only works as an agonist at the opioid receptor sites, but it does have some affinity with the serotonin and dopamine receptor sites in the body, meaning that it can level and lift your mood.

Does The Dod Drug Test For Kratom?

In a word, no. The Department of defense does not drug test for kratom. It uses standard drug testing that looks for standard narcotics, but does not look for substances like kratom, SARMs, or many other less well-known substances.
