Though kratom is not as popular as other alternative remedies like marijuana and psilocybin mushroom, it is indeed catching up with them. Historically originated in Southeast Asia, kratom was used by locals to overcome fatigue, stress, and improve productivity. It is a natural stimulant that can help you get through rough days. 

However, as usual, the government seems to hesitate to acknowledge this miracle substance’s benefits. In the US, 8 states prohibit kratom distribution. Even in countries where the plant is originated, the legality is still questionable. 

Therefore, if you’d like to get kratom, you must know how to identify the good stuff from the bad one. Here are five steps to getting you quality kratom. 

Know Your Kratom

There are three strains of kratom: red, white, and green vein. The red one is the most popular kratom, as it provides you with enough pain-relieving and sedating effects. It can even treat opiate withdrawal symptoms. Second, white kratom induces euphoria. This strain suits you if you want to experience the recreational sensation of using drugs safely. Third, the green kratom is the mildest among the three. It is meant to be a mood-booster and performance enhancer. 

Find a Reputable Vendor

A wise man learns from others’ mistakes. Therefore, you’d better check forums and even platforms like Quora to see whether a vendor is trustworthy or not. Customer experience is the only thing that counts. Do not trust easily shady kratom review webs as they may be paid by the vendor themselves. 

Ask for a Sample

Everyone in the kratom industry knows that kratom is poorly regulated due to its legal status. Therefore, it is customary for vendors to send sample products to the buyer. Even if you don’t find this on the vendor’s web, you’d better ask them via email. 

Check the Lab Testing Report

Kratom is usually sold in its dried form. And the problem is that it may overdose you due to the high concentration of the substance. Therefore, your kratom must include information about dosage and a statement of purity. You don’t want your kratom to be contaminated. 

Contact the Customer Support

The biggest mistake that many people make when buying kratom online is to think that the customer support is there only if something is wrong. In fact, you can check if a website is legit by simply checking how responsive and attentive the customer support is. 

Besides, sometimes the vendor’s shipment policy is not included on the website. And you’ve got to send an inquiry email for it.
