A Review of the Most Common Kratom Strain on the Market
If you go down an alley somewhere, where a bunch of smokers are hanging out and ask them if they’ve ever heard of the word “Bali”, they’ll probably roll their eyes into their head, think really hard, and swear they have heard that name somewhere before.
And they have.
Go to any decent smoke shop in your city, and you’ll usually find random herbs and incense lined along the register including small bags that say “Bali Kratom”.
What is Bali Kratom?
Bali Kratom is a “slow” strain of Kratom native to the Indonesian island of Bali in Southeast Asia. It’s been exported all over the world and is the most common strain available on the market. It’s dime a dozen and won’t be going extinct anytime soon. In fact, there was a time when Kratom stores only sold different types of Bali Kratom strains and the occasional Maeng Da strain.
Since it’s one of the cheapest and most popular Kratom strains, the quality of Bali available isn’t always the best so buying this strain from a trusted vendor becomes even more important.
Don’t believe me?
Go ahead and buy that suspicious looking black baggie covered with cliche ghetto logos and “Bali Kratom” written all over it from your local smoke shop. I guarantee you it’s almost always bunk. Either it won’t work or you’ll need a really huge dose to get even a subtle effect, or you’ll just end up with adverse side effects such as a headache and vomiting. Nice, huh?
Thankfully, it can also be purchased online from reputable vendors that showcase Green Bali Kratom for the winning Kratom strain it can be.
What is Green Bali Kratom?
Like other strains of Kratom, Bali is available in different colors or “veins”, based on when in the growth cycle the Kratom leaf is picked and variations in the drying process of the leaves. The most common Bali Kratom strains are green vein Bali, white vein Bali, red vein Bali and gold vein Bali. They’re all worth trying but my favorite would have to be a good green Bali Kratom. I think once you’ve given it a try yourself, you’ll understand why I keep coming back to Green Vein Bali.
Green Bali, also known as Green Bali Kratom or ‘Green Vein Bali’, is a high quality Kratom made from the leaves of the Kratom plant (or rather, tree) picked at the mid-point of their growth cycle when the veins of the leaves are still green. The Mitragyna Speciosa tree, cultivated throughout Southeast Asia (and the island of Bali), produces large leaves. Green Bali Kratom powder is made from the dried and processed leaves of this tree.
Green Vein Kratom
Green vein strains, of which Green Bali is one, are known for producing balanced effects that are often milder than other strains, offering the best of both red and white vein Kratom powder, with alkaloids that produce a wide range of beneficial effects. In other words, this strain isn’t overly stimulating, but still offers a boost of uplifting energy and a sense of well-being, with reduced stress, enhanced focus, better mood enhancement and more.
Green Bali Kratom Effects
You will become invincible, strong as Hercules, fast as lightning, and will become a God on Mount Olympus.
Just kidding…
What are the effects of Bali Kratom?
Higher Doses of Green Bali Kratom
Green Bali alkaloids interact with the body’s natural opioid receptors. At higher doses, these alkaloids work in a depressive manner, acting to relieve pain, induce relaxation, melt away stress, and cause sedation, among other benefits.
Lower Doses of Green Bali Kratom
At lower to moderate doses, Green Bali Kratom’s balanced nature shines bright. With a small dose, Green Bali is less potent but highly effective. In this range, it improves energy levels, increases motivation, acts as a mild stimulant, reduces stress, improves mood and focus, and more.
Green Bali Kratom Review: What to Realistically Expect
Realistically, here are some of the actual effects you can expect after a successful burn of Bali:
1. Relaxation/Reduction in Anxiety
If you ask me how Bali Kratom feels, I’d have to say it’s a “background strain”. It’s very subtle compared to other Kratom strains and doesn’t come with a potent, strong overwhelming sedative feeling. Sure, very high doses can ultimately achieve that if that’s your goal, but this strain is not made for that.
Similar to Green Malaysian Kratom and Green Indo, you will notice that anxiety will simply not be there when it should be. You will just feel “normal” and then later on after your aroma has worn off, you’ll say “Hey wait a minute, I didn’t feel anxious in the slightest bit today”.
There is also definitely the feeling of a subtle relaxing sensation. Subtle, but it’s there. It’s as subtle as trying to taste water. There is a certain taste to it but nothing too strong and you just can’t quite put your finger on it.
2. Pain Relief
One of the most frequently asked questions we get from users is whether Bali is effective for pain. Many people want something more from Kratom than simply improving their mood and that is genuine pain relief.
Green Vein Bali Kratom has considerable analgesic effects, making it a great alternative to using dangerous pharmaceutical pain killers for your chronic pain and instead you can use a very safe, natural plant filled with antioxidants. Of course I can’t and don’t claim it will diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or serious medical condition, but it will undoubtedly offer effective pain relief throughout your body. Of course, check with your Doctor.

3. Appetite Suppression
This is actually a by-product of a lot of Kratom strains since they all tend to slightly suppress your appetite. One of the reasons Thailand farmers are said to have chewed on Kratom leaves is because it blunted their appetite and gave them a focused energy to work 12+ hours a day without complaining much.
Although green vein Bali Kratom won’t give you the surge of energy like “Fast” strains such as Maeng Da Kratom will, it will definitely suppress your appetite if you’re looking forward to having a relaxing day with your friends or even doing some laid back office work without having to eat like a pig every couple minutes.
It’s perfect for users who want to lose weight and have trouble overeating past their calorie limits for the day. Another huge point for Kratom, and maybe another compelling reason to jump on the Kratom train if you haven’t already.
Green Bali Kratom Dosage
There is no “Recommended Dose” For Green Bali Kratom Powder.
As with any Kratom strain, there is no right “cookie cutter” dose for everyone. It all comes down to experimentation and finding your “sweet spot” and this is no different when dosing Bali Kratom. See How to Dose Kratom.
That said, you should notice that anything from a 1-2.5 gram Bali dose will produce a very light effect, and 2-4 grams would be considered a pretty moderate dose. Anything up to 6 grams of a high quality Bali is considered a high dose and anything even higher will potentially start to produce side effects.
Since my tolerance has built up a little for both green and red Bali Kratom powder, this no longer holds true for me and it usually takes about 6 grams to hit my “sweet spot”. But for those inexperienced with this strain, that guideline should be close to accurate.

Green Bali Kratom: In Summary…
That about sums up this overview of Green Bali Kratom; hopefully it’s given you a good idea of what to expect when using green vein Kratom.
It’s one of the most common strains found in the Kratom world, making it both readily available and pretty cheap to get your hands on. You’ll find Bali Kratom in all the strain colors from white, red and yellow, to even gold, but green is definitely the most common.
Effects are best for relief from chronic pain, anxiety, and even appetite suppression if you want to get rid of those “handles”. Its also a smooth ride, with lower doses being more uplifting and energizing, while higher doses will aid with relaxation and calming. Just make sure you get it from a trusted source with third-party lab tests for purity, and you’ll enjoy the experience as much as I do.
I’d personally rate it a 4/5. It’s a great strain but I usually love strains that produce stronger effects like a good, potent green Maeng Da. At the end of the day, the best strain for you comes down to personal preference though.
“Suppresses appetite”???? HA HA HA! It does the exact OPPOSITE for me unfortunately. Every strain of kratom I have taken, (and I’ve been using it for just over year) has INCREASED my appetite in a nagging, urgent kind of way. To the degree that the “good feeling” begins to dissipate (after about 45 minutes) the urge to eat a big meal begins to get stronger and stronger. Similar to the way marijuana gives one those nagging munchies. I love kratom but I really DESPISE this part of it. If ONLY the “appetite suppression” was true. I think that’s just a marketing strategy because that’s what got me to buy kratom initially. I was doing an on line search for some type of herbal appetite suppressant that would work the way the Chinese ma huang ephedra used to work before the Tyrant Thugs who work for Big Pharma (FDA) took it away from us. Little did I know I was getting myself an opiate like feeling which did and does help my C-PTSD (from years of narcissistic abuse from a narc-infested family and narc-infested workplaces), but it does nothing to reduce the 30 or so lbs I’ve gained over the years since the evil tyrants took away my herbal ephedra. The stuff they sell now that’s called “ephedra” is pure bunk and just a way to feed on the desperation of the Americans they are making fat on purpose so they can collect on the Cash Cow (food corporations, cancer industry and diabetes industry) to name only a few. The system we live in is run by evil and greedy psychopaths. If people would just wake up to this fact and stop feeding the system, they would self-implode on each other. And what a beautiful sight that would be!
It’s so funny how every person reacts to things differently. Any Kratom strain takes my appetite completely away. But I any diet-type pill makes make hungry. Benedryl keep me awake. Go figure.
Same! Made me hungry. Funny you mentioned PTSD from narcissistic abuse. It’s the same reason I’m trying kratom. My family is filled with narcs and I now have a social phobia after my last job and haven’t worked in almost 4 yrs! Thank God my husband has a good job but I should be working, right? I mean, everyone works.
Hey dude, it varies from person to person and by strain! Most strains of kratom at least temporarily alleviate my appetite – for a few hours, and some keep me from eating for many hours. I didn’t even know that was supposed to be a side effect.
I would ask if you have tried different vein colors, and what strains have you tried? Seems like a white vein strain would be more likely to suppress appetite, they give me so much energy I can’t sleep, so I had to switch to greens. They all have such different effects on me. But that’s all about quality.
My local smoke shop didn’t have premium Bali. I purchased red Borneo instead. Big mistake. It makes me sleep. Bali works very well with pain.
You are 100% accurate in the smoke shop tablets, etc., being ”bunk” (I had a harsher word in mind). The only kratom I had ever tried was from a very reputable company within the country in which I live. Each strain evinced very subtle differences, I could tell simply by how I felt which strain I’d taken. I guess I just assumed it would all be like that. UNTIL I WENT HOME (Memphis, TN) where you generally have to go to Southaven, MS to get kratom, and they have created a couple of kratom shops right over the state line.
Although the pure mitragynine leaf kratom plants/substances are legal in Tennessee the synthetic or mixed kratoms are not – and since the cops can’t tell the difference without testing, they just arrested a bunch of people and most smoke shops are afraid to sell any. The ones who do sell kratom sold only capsules with no strain listed at all, god knows what is in those tablets! I want to say they were just really REALLY poor quality, but the truth is probably much worse.
There might not be any synthetics in it, but pretty good chance the harvesters are picking any kinda plant in the area for a quick buck. I had such a hard time finding ANY and what I did find made me feel crappy and headachey, unwell.
At one shop down in MS the woman was explaining the differences between strains, I was so happy and I bought several small containers (very expensive). There was literally no difference in how bad they made you feel, or any effects experienced. It was a nightmare.
If you find a reputable distribution company online, stick with it. I am very lucky where I live, in a way. There’s only one company you are legally allowed to purchase it from (can’t order outside the country) but they are outstanding. The colors and textures, scents, etc, of the kratoms make it clear they are different and high quality (so do the effects) although on reddit and online shops I can see I’m paying generally twice as much or more, it’s so worth it.
I was in a very bad auto accident two years ago and have rods with 14 screws in my spine. I live in Texas where it is like pulling teeth to get anything close to an opioid for the pain therefore suffering gravely. I happened on an article on Kratom. I read everything I could find on it then decided to try it. I ordered the red Bali because it seemed to be the one closer to what I needed it for. It worked great!! I can do things that I never thought I would ever be able to do again, normal things we all take for granted. I brew some chi tea then mix 6g into a large cup then add lots of French vanilla creamer then add cool water so I can chug it because it is very bitter and taste like crap. I am amaze that I can go twelve to seventeen hours taking it and live a normal productive life. It is nice to get the pain relief but there are also other benefits. My head is clear so I am not in this fog that nsrvoficd cause. I am very relaxed and calm. Not really sleepy but if I lay back close my eyes I fall asleep. That alone is amazing because I don’t sleep well or through the night. One more note, I have Crohn’s disease and it helps with those symptoms as well. One of the problems with crohn’s is intestinal inclination that is quite painful. Well it has helped with that. It must have properties good for inflammation because I don’t have that issue when taking kratom. I would recommend this to anyone in need of help with pain, stress, insomnia and focus. Thank you kratom for giving my life back.
