How to Make Kratom Tincture

Kratom is a psychoactive plant that is currently legal in the United States, although it is considered a controlled substance in other parts of the world. There are several ways of ingesting it, including smoking, chewing, and creating a tincture---an alcohol-based solution of the psychoactive substances contained within the plant. When the tincture is ingested, the effects tend to occur sooner after dosing and last longer than other means of ingestion such as smoking or chewing.

Things You'll Need

• 100 grams Bali Kratom

Creating the Kratom Tincture

• 1

  A jar such as this will suffice, if it is large enough to hold the Kratom.

  Place 100 grams of Kratom into the jar. Fill the jar with alcohol to about 2 inches above the top of the Kratom. Stir vigorously, cap, and place in a dark place at room temperature.

• 2

  A dark secluded place such as a closet might be a good storage space.

  Shake the Kratom mixture vigorously at least twice a day for 4 weeks. Maintain this for longer if you want to obtain a stronger tincture. In this step, patience is key. Remember to store the mixture in a dark, temperature-controlled area.

• 3

  Strain the Kratom through the cheesecloth, collecting the liquid in another container. Be sure to squeeze the bundle in order to extract all the tincture.

• 4

  Take approximately 2 tablespoons of the mixture, holding the tincture in the mouth as long as possible and swallowing if this becomes too difficult.
