hey guys welcome to joey talks my name
is joey
and we're talking about kratom today
which is a controversial herb
that many people have found to be super
useful when it comes to pain management
to treating certain mental illnesses
like ptsd
anxiety depression some people
use it just for an energy booster to
help them when they exercise
or if they're feeling really tired in
the day and
today i want to talk about the top three
things not to do
when you are taking kratom if you're new
to kratom or you want more information
about kratom i have a bunch of videos
that kind of explain how it works the
different strains that are out there
and just kind of a background in my own
experience in history
with the herb some things uh you need to
know before we talk about the top three
things not to do when taking kratom
i first have to give you that wonderful
disclaimer that i'm not a medical doctor
this is not medical advice it's simply
my opinion
and that none of the statements that i
make have been evaluated by the fda
okay number one you do not want to take
kratom
and drink alcohol at the same time
one it can create a toxicity in your
liver
and you definitely don't want that and
second if you drink
a lot of alcohol and take kratom at the
same time they
both obviously are a suppressant and so
they could lead to some significant
complications such as
such as decreased respiration making you
feel really tired so you obviously
shouldn't operate
machinery or drive a vehicle so you want
to stay away from
alcohol when taking kratom now not to
say that i've never
mixed the two by accident of course
it does enhance the effects of both
substances
but because it does create this toxic
environment for your liver
you definitely want to stay away from
that second
you don't want to take kratom with
certain prescription drugs
especially benzos such as xanax or
valium
and you also want to stay away from any
other opioids out there
that may have been prescribed to you you
don't want to mix the two because they
will enhance
and sometimes have some drug
interactions while taking both
substances the third thing is you don't
want to take
too much now i had to learn this the
hard way a little bit goes a long way
i take about two to three grams once
twice a day
but if i go over that if i take five or
six grams
because i'm like wow this is really
working great you can get
super nauseous feel really sick to your
stomach and end up
throwing up because of nausea so you
want to make sure you're not taking too
much of it you want to
know the amount that you need and you
want to take the smallest dose possible
to get the greatest benefit
i don't know if you ever made that
mistake before but you definitely want
to stay away from taking too much
i always recommend just upping your dose
by a half a gram
if you want to try to take a little more
or if the effects are wearing off
take a half a gram and slowly go up
otherwise you will end up with your head
in the toilet and you will not
feel good so those are just the top
three things that i have learned and
know about kratom but i'm sure there's
like a list of things out there of
substances to avoid
other activities to avoid while taking
kratom so if you have some of those
pop them in the comments below also if
you're looking for a reputable vendor
which is super important you don't want
to be buying kratom
from a gas station or a head shop you
want to get it from
a vendor that has been lab tested and is
certified that it's 100 kratom
i'll put a link below in the description
where you can
follow that link and go to the place
where i buy my kratom because it has
worked
super well for me and they are lab
tested and they are certified
go ahead and like this video share it

about life
