Green Ketapang Kratom: Effects, Dosage, & More
Green Ketapang is one of the best unheard of strains available. I will go over everything you need to know about Green Ketapang kratom.
This article dives into the details of Green Ketapang.
In small doses, it can be energizing and with larger doses this strain will help you relax.
This strain is a much lesser known variant of Borneo, it hails from the regency of Ketapang in West Kalimantan Province.
When I experienced Green Ketapang I was blown away with its strong balanced effects.
What is Green Ketapang Kratom?
Kratom, known by its scientific name ‘Mitragyna Speciosa’, comes from the leaves of the kratom tree.
Native to Thailand, Indonesia, Borneo and other parts of Southeast Asia, the kratom tree is very closely related to the coffee tree. Coffee is a large export for the region.
It has natural pain relieving effects that make it a natural traditional Thai and Indonesian medicine.
As of the last 10 years it has gained more and more momentum in popularity in the West, and has been commonly used to treat pain, anxiety, and insomnia.
Many people use it to self treat themselves for ailments, especially pain as pain medication is hard to get because Doctors are hesitant to prescribe pain medication with the explosion of the opioid epidemic.
What does ‘vein color’ mean?
There are three variations of most kratom strains, these are Red, white, and green.
It is a very commonly believed myth that kratom ‘vein’ colors means that the vein in the leaves are actually red, green, or white.
The ‘vein colors’ are determined by the way the kratom farmers process and dry the kratom, and processing includes the timing of when the leaves are harvested from the trees.
Different varieties are processed and dried in different ways to gain the desired effects associated with each ‘vein color’
Kratom farmers harvest young leaves to make white vein kratom, which is usually the most energizing.
Letting the leaves mature a little longer will produce green vein kratom, a more balanced energetic/sedating strain.
Letting the leaves mature fully is going to produce what farmers use to make red vein kratom.
The most relaxing strain with the greatest sedative and analgesic effects is usually red vein.
Green kratom is about equal parts stimulating and sedating, providing users with a smooth calm energy boost.
It lacks the jitters some people get from caffeine or other stimulants.
Some green strains skew more towards one side or the other with respect to the effects felt by the user.
Others are slightly more on the sedating side, others may feel a little more stimulating.
This makes green kratom, like Green Ketapang the best choice for most people because you get a well rounded experience.
Where does Green Ketapang come from?
Green Ketapang comes from the lush rainforests of the Kalimantan region in Borneo.
This strain grows in an ideal environment that produces kratom trees that grow potent alkaloid rich leaves.
There is some debate in the kratom community as to if farm grown is any better or any stronger than wild harvested kratom.
Reports indicate that local Indonesian farmers have conveyed to them that genuine Green Ketapang must be harvested from the wild.
What Does Green Ketapang Feel Like?
Green Ketapang is a balanced strain that leans heavier to the pain relieving/sedating side.
It provides significant stimulation in low doses and helps users relax in larger amounts.
My personal experience with Green Ketapang produced energy and a stronger analgesic effect than most green veins.
This is a potent strain. It is active at lower doses and a heavy dose of this strain is going to be smaller than most other strains of kratom.
Green Ketapang contains moderately strong amounts of the alkaloid Mitragynine and 7-Hydroxymitragynine, the active compounds in the leaves.
All kratom strains have more mitragynine than 7-hydroxymitragynine.
7-Hydroxymitragynine is found at much lower concentrations than mitragynine is.
Mitragynine is about 4x less potent than 7-Hydroxymitragynine.
Despite Green Ketapang having a fast onset, its duration is on the longer side, closer to 6 hours.
