Kratom is not a health supplement.
Nor is pot. This guy is abusing drugs and asking why he's depressed.
I don't even believe they took 0.5g of THC, that's an insane amount. Unless they mean over a long period of time. The standard dose you can buy is 10mg.
It's not insane for heavy users - they sell 1g brownies in dispensaries, these days. That being said, it's neither cheap nor is there any debate of it being a medicine at that level. Dude's just getting blasted every day and wondering why he's tired
Is that actually 1g of pure THC, or is that like the weight of the extract or something? I can't imagine the tolerance you would need, any normal person would be passed out for an entire day taking that.
Oh it's completely doable to take 1000mg+ as I have literally when I was depressed cause I used to make brownie batches with 14g~ of dabs for 9 brownies which is about 1240mg per brownie after accounting for it being 80% thc
One time my mom took one of my edibles when I wasn't around and was literally high for 2 days straight... she takes a 2.5mg normally whereas mine were 100mgs
I buy 2g carts from the dispensary for $10/pop and break them open to extract the distillate. Then I scoop up a quarter of what I extracted and eat it. So $20 will last me over a week and it knocks me the hell out.
I know but it's the only way I can feel joy. Before I discovered kratom I never knew what it felt like to smile.
FWIW I only take it on the days really need it (so basically only at work).
