@BD gm... @drainerpack had this question for you in "vendor reviews", regarding your Green Dragon review. I had to relocate it. Perhaps you can respond and tag her when you get a moment
Here is the question
"Sublingual method? But how do you do that with so much powder? Asking for myself because I want to try it." (edited)
Well, my doses are small compared to the average bear, so for me it's one and done.... But I'm guessing you can split it up? Basically I measure out, weigh out my dose, use that little reloading pan my scale came with, dump powder on my tongue (do not breathe at all during this time), QUICKLY take a SMALL sip of water and make a mud on your tongue. Once you have the mud, you can breathe gently through your nose. Then I shift it to (mostly anyways) under my tongue, but according to @BΞNNI you don't really need to put it directly under the tongue. Just spread it out in your mouth, so it's making contact with your tongue, cheeks (under the tongue if you can shift it there, it takes practice, when I started I left the powder on top), and hold it there for 3 minutes (minimum), Benni is the real expert on this method, as I learned it from him.... But it does work, and work well. He even mentioned that you can spit it out at that point(after the time elapses), but honestly, I just drink more water and swallow.
Pro: it does have quicker onset of dose effects in my humble opinion
Cons: if you already try to mask the taste of kratom, this method prolly isn't for you. I was already doing my "modified" version of the toss and wash that I call "spoon and sip" (spoon in the leaf, swallow with water, finish with the rest of 8oz of water).... So for me it wasn't a big transition to this. I was already pretty much doing the first half of it on the regular .I just never held it in my mouth for 3 minutes. TBH I've done as much as 2.4g with this method... But being that 3g is pretty much my highest dose at any point ever (mostly use that amount with the Neptune kratom that has the adaptogenic mushrooms and other herbs in it).... So my average dose with this method is 1.5g I can do it once. I mean, I guess the limit to the amount of powder turned into "mud" you can hold, would vary from person to person, but at this point .... My doses are small enough where it works. I often do it, and while running the timer, I start my coffee or tea or whatever hot drink I'm having and in the middle of that preparation, the timer elapses, and I can finish drinking the water. I find it especially helpful for the first dose of the day, as lately I've been waking up with the "pulse-y" feeling that I get when I need to dose immediately. It quickly gets rid of that feeling. But I hope you found this helpful @drainerpack (sorry for the wall of text, maybe Benni will see this and explain it better, as it's him I learned about it from.) (edited)
