Since kratom is similar to all other herbs or pharmaceutical drugs, it’s always advisable to start small as you work your way up measuring exactly what you need to take to get where you want to be. So in case you are just starting on any strain start with 1-1.5 grams. It’s a minimal dosage yes, I know that, but you might be shocked it will deliver the results.
