Tolerance

Most of us have dealt with kratom tolerance. Some of you are probably a bit more careful/disciplined about maintaining a low tolerance. What about the rest of us, though? I've often read that taking a break from kratom for a few days helps. For me, that solution isn't practical, because kratom treats some very annoying symptoms for me that come back with a vengeance within a day of stopping. Some folks recommend a stem and vein mix of kratom, which contains more stem content and ultimately fewer alkaloids. I've had limited success with this technique, though to be fair, I haven't really given it much of a shot. One of the trusted vendors that I use, Mmm, Speciosa, has a stem and vein product that I've used occasionally.

What seems to work best for me is reducing my dose by half for a few days every month. This regular dose reduction has helped me maintain a 7g/3x per day dose for the past year or so. It's not nearly as extreme as a full kratom break, and it works well for the conditions I'm treating.

A PayPal Alternative for Kratom Vendors?

Given PayPal's less-than-stellar reputation and refusal to do business with kratom vendors, I'd be interested in kratom vendors giving Dwolla a serious look. I am aware that Bikhuk takes payments through Dwolla, but haven't encountered any other vendors that use it.

Dwolla is a secure alternative to using credit cards to make purchases online, and their fees are lower than PayPal's. It would be nice to see a few vendors implement Dwolla, especially for those of us who have been burned using our credit cards online.

Dwolla doesn't know I exist, and they aren't paying me to refer vendors to use their service. I'm only mentioning them because they're the main viable alternative to PayPal of which I'm aware, and I would like to see vendors look at alternatives to PayPal.
