I don't hear much about Kratom here. Last week I did some research on it and here is my experience with it starting last Sunday. xpost from /kratom
I read about Kratom on GoodLookingLoser. They have a decent guide about it so after reading the three part series I bought a handful of different strains. The primary concept from their guide is that you need to switch strains every day to avoid tolerance building.
My primary goal is to find ways to enhance my daily functioning. I'm high energy and outgoing at work but always want another edge up. I thought Kratom might be a good boost. Only supplement I'm taking is caffeine.
I ordered a handful of different varieties from mmmspeciosa.com. Fast shipping and they gave a few free samples. I got:
Kali Kaya White Thai Powder, Tawa Tua Indo Powder, Classic Bali Powder. All 25g. They included the Red Vine Thai (which is weird because they were out of stock, it's what I originally wanted) and Green Malaysian as a sample. 10g of each.
Sunday I took 3g of the Kali Kaya (weighed on a food scale, put a sip of water in mouth, powder in mouth, more water, swallow. It's not THAT bad). Felt a slight effect but nothing too significant. About 2 h…

Where can I read more about it reducing testosterone. That right there is a deal killer for me.

Chronic kratom use will definitely lower testosterone levels. The amount it does depends on the dosage you use, and the length of time you use it. There was a post on /r/DrugNerds a while back where a guy used it for 2 years, and got down to 1ng/ml free test. It will rebound quickly upon cessation, though.
You could use a SERM like clominfene or tamoxifen to help raise your testosterone levels during kratom use. However, I have not explored that route yet.
