The Kratom IQ Quick Start Guide

Not familiar with Kratom or Mitragyna Speciosa? This **Quick Start Guide** gives you all the **essential details**.

This will show you the most important articles on this site in an easy to follow, step-by-step fashion. By the end you’ll have a good idea of what Kratom is, the effects it can produce, how to take it and where to buy it. These are all equally important factors that need to be addressed.

Even if you’re not completely new to Kratom itself, it might be helpful to read through my guide to ensure we’re on the same page, before moving onto more advanced stuff. Hey, you might learn a thing or two. 🙂

Let’s Begin

It’s really a four part guide, with each post following on from the next quite nicely.

Part 1: Kratom 101

Read this article for an introduction to what Kratom actually is and where it comes from. I also explain the different “types” of Kratom and how it can be classified by its “speed”. I then touch on how to take it and the importance of finding your “sweet spot”. More on that below though.

Part 2: How to Take and Dose Kratom

Here I go into further detail on the different ways you can take Kratom, how to determine the right dosage amount for you, and even provide a Beginner’s Dosage Guide to help you get started. Unfortunately Kratom isn’t a drug you can just take a certain amount of and expect a certain result. It requires a little bit of preparation, so learn how to do it right if you want to avoid disappointment.

Part 3: Potential Kratom Effects

Kratom isn’t really a recreational drug to get “high” off of; it’s so much better! Here I give you a good idea of what Kratom actually feels like and the potential effects it can produce. I also give some realistic expectations you should have and share my personal experiences and uses for this compound.

Part 4: Where to Buy Kratom

With the knowledge gathered from the first three posts, you should have a good foundation to try Kratom and will hopefully be excited to actually get some! Read this article to discover my recommended source for high quality Kratom and the reasons why I buy from this vendor. This is quite important as not all Kratom is created equal.

The previous four posts will get you up to speed in no time! In a matter of minutes you’ll be more informed than most people starting out and will be in a much better position to get the most out of Kratom and avoid any bad experiences. You’ll likely also find that many of your beginner questions have been answered.

Finding Kratom Locally

After learning about this interesting substance, many people specifically ask “where can I find Kratom near me?“, hoping they can just pop to their local herb shop and pick it up. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case, at least not if you want high quality Kratom products. Read this guide to learn about the type of brands and shops you should avoid, and where to look instead.

There You Have it!
