Kratom, an energizing natural botanical harvested from its tropical trees native to Southeast Asia, has recently caught the attention of many wellness enthusiasts. Dried kratom leaves from the kratom tree are pulverized into a powder form. Following kratom’s emergence in Western countries, users have experimented with various methods of ingestion, such as kratom powder, capsules, tinctures, and toss-and-wash.
Most kratom lovers stick to the classic kratom powder because of its effectiveness. However, some users have wondered if kratom can also be smoked. While there are instances reported by kratom users on community forums, smoking kratom remains a risky way to take kratom.
Various sources such as community forums and kratom experts suggest that smoking kratom powder is neither effective nor recommended. Smoking can not only mess with kratom’s effects but also poses health risks.
Our lungs are not designed for inhaling anything other than fresh air let alone plant matter. The long-term effects of smoking in general have been widely studied. These studies conclude that smoking damages the respiratory system such as our lungs and airways. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is one of the most common lung diseases.
Super Speciosa promotes the safe and responsible use of kratom powder and recommends taking it as a dietary supplement to enrich your regimen. However, there are kratom vendors who are now selling kratom cigarettes and you should be aware of the possible risks.
Historically, the native Southeast Asians preferred to either chew the kratom leaves or brew them into tea. Smoking kratom powder is extremely rare in the countries where kratom originates.
No scientific studies have been conducted on the effects of smoking kratom. The only information available is gathered from community discussions via online forums
Kratom powder is extremely dense so smoking isn’t as easy as you might imagine. Even kratom cigarettes are blended with other herbs to be smokeable and they don’t have the expected effects of kratom powder.
Smoking kratom powder may also cause adverse effects like dry mouth or constipation.
Smoking kratom powder may reduce the efficacy of the alkaloids unique to the kratom plant. Mitragynine is the primary alkaloid responsible for the stimulating and sedating effects depending on the kratom strain and serving size.
Research published in the Journal of Analytical Toxicology suggests that kratom alkaloids degrade in a PH and temperature-dependent manner.
Smoking temperatures range from 400 °C between puffs to about 900 °C during a puff. Mitragynine molecules have been analyzed to degrade within six hours at 80 °C.
In contrast, mitragynine molecules remain stable in a refrigerated environment for extended periods.
Since kratom isn’t smokable on its own, some have tried to smoke it with cannabis or tobacco. This poses even greater risks as cannabis and kratom together can overwhelm the mind with their combined effects. Tobacco is potentially dangerous to consume too. Mixing kratom with other substances is not recommended and may cause harmful, dangerous side effects to the human body.
There are no serving sizes tested when it comes to smoking kratom powder which can lead users to arbitrarily use kratom powder without knowing the potential effects. This can lead to consuming too much kratom.
The recommended serving size for kratom powder when ingested orally is 2.4 grams with no more than two servings within 24 hours.
Snorting kratom powder is highly inadvisable and may overwhelm the central nervous system. Direct kratom exposure to the bloodstream can be damaging to your nasal passageways as they numb down over time. This can lead to an increased risk of respiratory diseases and overconsumption.
Vaping, similar to smoking is an unconventional and risky method of consuming kratom powder. There are no liquid juices made with kratom so there aren’t any kratom vaping products available in the market. It is still possible to vaporize crushed leaf kratom with a dry herb vaporizer. Since there has been no usage testing regarding vaping kratom powder, there is no credible information to suggest this method instead of smoking.
