I’m super Krazy about Kratom; I sincerely believe it’s the best thing ever discovered since syrup on french toast. I love to try every Kratom strain that exists to experience fully what this powerful “God Plant” has to offer.
So when I first heard that “Ghost Hippo” was the latest Kratom strain for sale at Happy Hippo Herbals, my first thought was: “what kind of name is that?”
I quickly did some research on this strain and it turned out that Ghost Hippo is actually white Borneo Kratom, a “moderate” strain of Kratom that comes from the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia, the majority of which belongs to Indonesia.
We’ve spoken about Indonesian Kratom before, and in fact Borneo Kratom too (red vein) so I was interested to see what this white vein Kratom had to offer.
I started drooling just thinking about the happy days that were going to come. Me and this strain were going to have so much fun together, and since I didn’t have many moderate strains in my Kratom kit, this was the perfect time to try something new.
White Borneo Kratom Review
To review White Borneo, I wanted to put it to the ultimate test.
I’m a big fan of anything that can increase my productivity and make me a working machine.
I was already feeling a little lousy from the morning and while I knew a “fast” strain would definitely pick me up and put me into an amped up energized mood, that wasn’t exactly what I was looking for…
I had three articles I wanted to publish by the end of the day, but I just wasn’t getting around to them. Call it writers block if you will.
I didn’t waste much time burning my first dose of White Borneo Kratom.
I pulled up my big boy pants, put some music on in the background and started writing away.
Somewhere 10-15 minutes into writing my first article… I began to notice something peculiar. It was subtly coming on slowly and what gave it away was how beautiful the music in the background started to sound.
I started rocking my head back and forth as this new found focused energy made its way into my body. I began to type furiously and the next thing I knew I had finished all three articles.
I took a step back with amazement at how fast I was able to whip up three in-depth juicy articles that would put my old English Professor to shame.
My creative juices were all over the place and I sat there gleaming with pride with even a little bit of tear in my eyes for producing such great pieces of work.
I bet this is how Shakespeare probably felt after writing all his famous plays. My 11th grade English teacher would be so proud of me!
The lousy brain fog I had woken up with had completely lifted and been replaced with a strong urge to get things done along with a light “floaty” feeling in my head.
Effects
From my personal experience and what others have said all over the internet, I believe it’s safe to say that white vein Borneo Kratom products typically have a dramatic noticeable effect on your level of productivity and concentration.
The level of concentration is hard to describe but I’d say it’s much like having tunnel vision and being completely focused on one task at hand whilst being able to tune out all the unnecessary distractions.
Not enough people mention this but I’ve noticed that every time I use “Ghost Hippo”, I’m flooded with creativity and, according to my friends, I become somewhat of a “philosopher”.
In fact, I remember I once had the sudden realization that the act of clapping that we humans do to show our appreciation or congratulate people is actually quite weird… insightful, huh?
You can thank white Borneo for all the random “out of this world” thoughts you may get or if you end up in a cave somewhere asking “what’s the meaning of life?”
Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
The effects of white Borneo Kratom’s mood lifting benefits are definitely noticeable and I’ve used it quite a few times to shake off jet lag or when I’ve woken up on the wrong side of the bed.
However, as much as I’d like to promise you the world and tell you that Ghost Hippo can do everything you wish, solve all your problems, and even comes with your own fairy godmother… I’d be lying.
Despite the fact it provides mood lifting benefits, it doesn’t usually come with a strong sedative feeling, or intense joy and elation that is often experienced with other strains.
It will still be effective for pain relief but if you’re looking for those particular effects, sorry but White Vein Borneo is not your answer. That’s the only drawback I can think of.
Dosage
If you’re asking for my personal “sweet spot” for this Kratom strain, I’d have to say around 5 grams seems right. Anything lower and I don’t get a hint of an aroma. Nada.
White Borneo Kratom might be one of the only strains where I’d say that it’s okay to start off with 3-4 grams even if you’re new to this strain. But always make sure to work your way up and dose Kratom properly. I feel that it’s always a good idea to remind people not to burn too much Kratom too fast.
Sometimes the aroma is slow to appear. Be patient and wait half an hour to an hour before trying a second dose. You don’t take a Tylenol pill and wonder why your headache hasn’t disappeared after only 10 minutes. Refer to our Kratom dosage guidelines if you want to refresh up on the basics.
To Wrap Up My Review…
That about sums up my review of white Borneo Kratom and, in particular, Ghost Hippo. If you’re looking to buy white Borneo Kratom to have on hand for a quick mood lift or a clean energy boost, this makes for an excellent choice. Throw away your Adderall pills and burn some white Borneo when you’re having a mental block, feeling unfocused, and procrastinating. Ghost Hippo will fix you right up and is arguably a much safer solution.
I’ll give it a 4/5, but only because it doesn’t provide the highly intense stimulating effects found in other Kratom strains. Other “highly productive” strains for me include Rockstar Hippo Maeng Da Kratom, red vein Thai and green vein Meang Da but then they are “faster” strains that can sometimes be a little “too much”. This strain, on the other hand, comes with relatively little to no side effects.

I’m excited to try this strain — it’s in the mail!
I’m a SAHM with hypothyroid issues and chronic fatigue and this stuff is really helping me.
I’ve been experimenting with the HHH beginner sample kit over the last week, and so far I’m impressed!!
I also ordered the Sunshine Hippo. Have you tried it? If so, what did you think?
Maeng Da in my opinion is a little bit better just because I enjoy the stimulating effects that the maeng da provides. Although, this strain is very relaxing with slight euphoria.
Just got this as a sample while ordering something else. Love it! How many other companies actually give you a free sample that is good for something? None, if any. They give you about a sample dose for free, along with the rest of my paid for products. Love these Hippos. They do us good.
