What are kratom vein colors?

The color of a kratom vein are determined by the content of mitragynine (alkaloids) in the vein. The purpose of producing mitragynan is to protect the tree from insects and animals from eating the leaf. It’s also a stress mechanism. The mitragynan is why the leaf is so bitter and correlates to strength.  This is why more mature leaf is more bitter then fresh leaf.  When kratom leaves mature the alkaloids are sucked back into the tree through the veins. These leaves will look more yellow.

In winter you see mostly white and green with some red. Spring, mostly green, white, some red, with pink starting to show up. In summer, Seed pod are popping up, you see green, white, pink, red, purple. This continues to happens thru Fall. We should note seed pods are best to pick off the tree in Jan – April. Kratom Vein colors usually have its darkest vein color at the exterior of the plant. Getting lighter as you go inward. But is harder to see in summer – fall as all colors are on the tree. Want to know more? The Kratom Bible is also available here on the #kratomAPP

The more alkaloids in the vein. The more red the vein will be. Purple at the high end of alkaloids. White at the low end of alkaloids. It is possible to see all vein colors grow at the same time on the same tree. (pink, red, purple) more near the bottom as that is where they have roots as that’s where most of the nutrients are. Up the tree will be more (greens and whites). They start getting more color variation the larger they get.

WHY CAN’T I ORDER KRATOM WITH A CREDIT CARD?

Categories:

WHY CAN’T I ORDER KRATOM WITH A CREDIT CARD?

Earlier this year, Kratom Spot customers could easily order kratom with a credit card or debit card. However, credit card companies have stopped working with kratom vendors altogether. This isn’t a new issue: kratom products gained national attention when the government began seizing imports around 2014. Ever since, consumers have had to use alternative payment methods (except for a short period of time between late 2020 and early 2021).

But the issue doesn’t stop there. In fact, there are many important questions left unanswered.

  • It’s your money. Why can’t you pay with credit cards for whatever you want?
  • Why is it so difficult to find reputable kratom dealers that take credit cards?
  • How do you know which alternative payment methods are suitable for you?

To better understand the kratom-credit-card fiasco, first, remember that kratom products are largely misunderstood. Government agencies like the FDA and DEA have waged aggressive anti-kratom campaigns nationwide, attempting to stigmatize the natural supplement. Because of this, it is extremely difficult for researchers to secure funding for clinical trials.

But what do scientific and clinical trials have to do with credit card companies? Easy! To see the bigger picture, let’s take a look at another governmentally misunderstood product: cannabis. If you live in a state with recreational cannabis, you might already know what we’re talking about. If not, we’ll provide a basic overview.

Cannabis and Credit Cards: Exemplary of the Kratom Industry

If you’ve ever patronized a legal cannabis dispensary, you probably know that very few allow you to pay with credit cards. Instead, you’ll most likely have to make cash payments. If cannabis is legal, why is that?

Answer: cannabis is only legal at the state level, not the federal level. Under the Controlled Substances Act (a federal law), financial institutions like banks and credit card companies cannot profit from substances that are considered federally illegal (like marijuana).

We mentioned the stigmatization of substances like cannabis and kratom above. And until the federal government ends its stigmatization of these products, consumers will have difficulty trying to order kratom with a credit card. There is little customer support for anything the federal government deems illegal, no matter what state laws have to say.

And even though you put your money into a bank or credit card account, you have to utilize alternative payment methods to buy a legal substance like kratom. In addition, kratom products are NOT federally illegal, nor are they scheduled under the Controlled Substances Act. So what gives?

Understanding the Limitations of Kratom and Credit Cards

With cannabis, it makes a little more sense. Yes, this writer believes cannabis should be removed entirely from the Controlled Substances Act and legalized at the federal level. But where you stand on that issue is neither here nor there.

When it comes to kratom, there are NO federal laws limiting sale, possession, and use. Some states and cities have banned kratom within their borders. But those municipalities are far-outnumbered by the states and cities that have protected the sale and use of kratom products.

However, to credit card companies, it’s all one in the same. Credit card companies consider kratom transactions high-risk, despite zero federal laws disallowing the sale of kratom. They’re worried that the federal government may eventually ban kratom products, leaving financial institutions vulnerable to profit losses. So instead of taking an active stance and supporting the legal kratom industry, they take a back seat and wait to see how the kratom industry plays out.

And it doesn’t stop there. Banks and credit card companies work with a TON of high-risk industries. This includes:

  • Accounting
  • Agriculture
  • Alcohol
  • Construction
  • Financial Services
  • Food
  • Insurance
  • Media
  • Oil Companies
  • Real Estate
  • Retail
  • Transportation
  • Travel Agencies
  • Wholesale Companies

If you’re allowed to pay with credit cards in any of these other high-risk industries, why not kratom? Call your bank and ask. Even we can’t answer this question.

Order Kratom with Alternative Payment Methods

Credit card companies and their tomfoolery aside, there are many secure alternatives to using a credit card at Kratom Spot. We offer a variety of safe, easy-to-use payment methods to make buying kratom a breeze.

Purchase Kratom with Cryptocurrency via Coinbase

You can easily create a FREE Coinbase account to buy your kratom. Coinbase has impeccable security, a navigable interface and allows you to receive a permanent 5% discount on all kratom products at Kratom Spot!

Learn more about purchasing kratom with crypto on our blog here.

Order Kratom Using E-Checks

To order kratom products via e-check, you’ll need both your account and routing numbers. We offer the ability to checkout using both ACH e-checks and Authorize.Net e-checks. Learn more about using e-checks to buy kratom here.

The Future of Kratom and Credit Card Companies

Will you be able to order kratom with a credit card in the future? We think so. However, kratom vendors have little influence over kratom legislation at the federal level. Our thoughts? We need more funding for kratom research. When we better understand kratom products and their benefits, we’ll be able to create a safer kratom industry that consumers, vendors, and government agencies can feel good about.

Is kratom legal in Florida?

Categories:

Is kratom legal in Florida?

Kratom is legal throughout the vast majority of the United States. What’s more, new laws are being passed to protect kratom users and the therapeutic kratom products they enjoy throughout the US. But that isn’t true everywhere. For example, is kratom legal in Florida?

The short answer: yes, kratom is legal in Florida. But it’s not quite that simple, as individual Florida counties have passed restrictions on access to safe, legal kratom.

Kratom Legality in Florida

Kratom is legal in Florida, at least for the vast majority of the state’s 21.48 million residents. But for the 433 thousand living in Sarasota County, Florida? Well, the kratom situation’s quite a bit more restrictive.

Since 2014, Sarasota County has banned kratom. But this ban is based on a misdefinition, which may open the door to legal reform and safe, legal kratom in Sarasota County’s future.

The Kratom Ban in Sarasota County, Florida

In January of 2014, Sarasota County passed an ordinance that banned the sale, purchase, use, and possession of kratom. Violations are a misdemeanor, and punishable with a fine of up to $500.

But Sarasota County’s Ban, like so many other kratom restrictions, is based on misinformation. Sarasota County Municipal Code mistakenly classifies kratom as a “designer drug”, which it categorically is not.

When purchased from a reputable kratom vendorkratom is an all-natural, unadulterated product with absolutely no additives or synthetic ingredients of any kind. Simply put, it couldn’t be further away from actual synthetic drugs like spice or bath salts.

Shortly after the Sarasota County kratom ban, a Change.org petition was filed in the hopes of overturning the ban. The petition got just over 600 signatures but was not enough to overturn the Sarasota County kratom ban.

Kratom in St. Johns County, Florida

Sarasota County isn’t the only place in Florida that has tried banning kratom. St. Johns County also toyed with the idea, but the ban was never implemented.

In early 2019, an ad hoc “drug task force” lobbied for a kratom ban, and the issue was taken up for discussion at a meeting of the St. Johns County Commissioners.

Following comments by some 20 kratom users sharing their experience with therapeutic kratom and the benefits it offered them, the Commissioners unanimously overturned the potential ban.

One Commissioner commented, “I see no reason whatsoever to pursue any kind of ban”, reflecting both the advocates’ first-hand experience and the so-called “task force’s” utter lack of evidence.

Ultimately, the story of kratom in St. John’s County is a triumph of small-scale advocacy over misinformation and unfounded stigma. It’s a telling reminder of how important it is for users to lend their voices to the cause of safe, legal kratom.

Which States Have Banned Kratom?

Kratom is legal throughout most of Florida, but not all states are the same. Currently, the states that have outright banned kratom are as follows:

  • Alabama classified kratom’s primary alkaloids, mitragynine, and 7-hydroxy-mitragynine, as Schedule I narcotics in May 2016. This likens kratom to substances like ecstasy and heroin, an unjust misclassification.
  • Arkansas banned kratom in February of 2016. In 2017, state medical examiners incorrectly stated that kratom’s alkaloids are derived from opium. It is unlikely we’ll see the Arkansas kratom ban lifted soon.
  • Indiana outlawed kratom in 2014 but incorrectly listed the botanical as a synthetic cannabinoid. The legislature later amended their language, classifying kratom as a hallucinogenic substance, another misclassification.
  • Rhode Island banned kratom’s alkaloids in 2017. Due to public outcry in other states, Rhode Island’s ban occurred in secret, confusing both residents and law officials. The state will vote on a measure to reverse the ban on September 1st, 2021.
  • Vermont banned kratom’s alkaloids in 2016, but they were improperly classified as “synthetic drugs.” In January of 2020, lawmakers filed a bill to decriminalize kratom products, but kratom’s future is still uncertain in the state.
  • Wisconsin banned kratom’s alkaloids in 2014, incorrectly associating kratom with both synthetic cannabinoids and hallucinogenic drugs. In 2019, lawmakers held informational meetings with the American Kratom Association (AKA), a step in the right direction.

But, just like Florida, several states’ counties have imposed local bans. These states include California, Illinois, and New Hampshire.

For the rest of the United States, kratom remains a safe, legal, and accessible option for users to buy kratom at their convenvience and to take control of their health and wellness.

Kratom Post-harvest Production – Blog

 Kratom Post-harvest Production

Kratom Post-harvest Production – Once the leaves of the kratom plant have reached an ideal maturity, they’re picked or collected in large quantities. The freshness of the leaves plays a vital role in how kratom is made, as it alters the phytochemical concentrations that are responsible for the plant’s characteristics. For instance, red kratom strains typically consist of mature leaves, while white and green kratom strains are generally produced using younger leaves.

To create kratom powder, the leaves of the mitragyna speciosa plant undergo a drying phase in the sun or the shade. Different powders can be produced depending on the length and specifications of this drying or “curing” process. Once the leaves have been dried, they’re subsequently shredded or ground into a fine consistency. Later, an industrial grinder is used to produce an even finer mitragyna speciosa powder with the texture of flour – a fundamental step in the process of how kratom is made. Although kratom is typically dried in the sun using large-sized racks, some kratom farmers rely on additional production and processing methods to create specialty kratom strains that are often popular with online buyers.

 

Customer review or kratomleaf.us!

Categories:
Kratomleaf.us is an excellent company. Their customer service is the best I’ve seen in a long time out of any company with similar offerings, and actually compared to any company I’ve ordered online from for that matter. They are very kind, communicative, and helpful.  You can tell they truly care about what they offer and stand tall 100% behind their products. They have a lot of heart and truly put their great energy into this. Although I haven’t  been able to order every product they offer, I would confidently recommend them over any company in the USA that provides these alternative plant medicines. The real medicines.

Fresh Raw kratom leaf with sugar in the center

A Kratom Treat!

When the natives in South East Asia have a sore throat they will go out in the fields and pick some fresh leaf off of the trees. Placing some sugar in the center and then chew on the leaf. When they chew the leaf the sugar mixes with the fresh leaf  and becomes sort of like a tasty paste. This paste will retain its sweet taste all the way through. This helps relieve sore your throat and makes the day much more bearable. Below we have written a guide to show you how.

What are kratom vein colors?

The color of a kratom vein are determined by the content of mitragynine (alkaloids) in the vein. The purpose of producing mitragynan is to protect the tree from insects and animals from eating the leaf. It’s also a stress mechanism. The mitragynan is why the leaf is so bitter and correlates to strength.  This is why more mature leaf is more bitter then fresh leaf.  When kratom leaves mature the alkaloids are sucked back into the tree through the veins. These leaves will look more yellow. 

In winter you see mostly white and green with some red. Spring, mostly green, white, some red, with pink starting to show up. In summer, Seed pod are popping up, you see green, white, pink, red, purple. This continues to happens thru Fall. We should note seed pods are best to pick off the tree in Jan – April. Kratom Vein colors usually have its darkest vein color at the exterior of the plant. Getting lighter as you go inward. But is harder to see in summer – fall as all colors are on the tree. Want to know more? The Kratom Bible is also available here on the #kratomAPP

The more alkaloids in the vein. The more red the vein will be. Purple at the high end of alkaloids. White at the low end of alkaloids. It is possible to see all vein colors grow at the same time on the same tree. (pink, red, purple) more near the bottom as that is where they have roots as that’s where most of the nutrients are. Up the tree will be more (greens and whites). They start getting more color variation the larger they get.
