Botanical Bunny; four strain reviews from a newbie

[Sanbutsushin]

Botanical Bunny was my first time trying kratom at all, and I'm still figuring out the best dosage and preferred method of taking it (red bubble, t&w, mixing with coffee/smoothie... lol); I've been taking extensive notes on each dose I take and won't bore y'all with all the particulars. But I can safely say this:

Premium Wild Red is a godsend for me, pain-wise. The only reason I've even gotten into kratom is for pain relief, and PWR absolutely delivers. Most days, if I can get anything done at all, I have to pick ONE thing and then I'm totally wiped out. But I had a day like this, after taking PWR at 10am: lengthy grocery shopping trips at two different stores, prepped a big batch of food and cooked it. Only around 5-6pm did my pain start to come back and it STILL felt better than I normally would if I had taken nothing at all.

That probably doesn't sound like much for most folks but I have to reiterate that on most days I can do maybe one of those things at most and am confined to my bed for the rest of the day afterward. My pain was not completely gone, but it was relieved to the point where I could actually accomplish normal things. And my mood was great, to boot, though I'm not sure if that's just because I was so excited to be able to DO stuff. PWR is absolutely my favorite of the four that I've tried.

So for me, PWR is a 9/10. Also had the least offensive taste out of the four! I would give it a full ten but I'm holding back due to my own inexperience.

Similar results with Green Maeng Da and Green JongKong. GMD got me through an hour-long session of therapy, by the end of which my entire torso is usually on fire; I went home feeling relatively normal (not pain-free, just normal levels, which again is a pretty big deal compared to how it usually goes). GJK allowed me to water my 50+ plants in half the time it normally takes me to do so! I ended up taking two doses of GJK that day because I expected that the pain of having to water my plants would "override" the relief I was getting from the first dose and honestly I would've been fine without the second.

Green MD I'd put at an 8/10 and Jongkong at 7/10.

Like I said above I'm still figuring out where I'm at with the other strains I got - Red Bali has been the most difficult to nail down, because the effect seems to vary even if I take the same amount in the same way, but considering the relief that I've gotten from the other three strains, I'm totally okay with the idea that Red Bali just might not work for me, lol. I think I'd give Red Bali a 5 because I DO feel something from it sometimes, but it's a very nebulous "something"... makes me feel different but it's hard to nail down exactly why or how.

Hope this helps someone out there!

Thanks for the reviews!
Appreciate the insight on some of Bunny's offerings and that Premium Wild Red sounds perfect for your chemistry
I have enjoyed the Premium Wild Red myself but an earlier batch (i think?) Lot 17 Batch 2010 - glad to hear it is still going strong

PWR has made such a difference for me that I almost can't believe there might be anything better out there. But these four strains are the only kratom I've ever tried at all, and I have orders from other vendors on the way, so we shall see In the meantime though it really is amazing.

I am the same, and utterly obsessed with PWR. It is a powerhouse and my strongest pain reliever. I will also say that though it is an acquired taste, the Red Blend is majority euphoric. It is clear that some of the blend is fermented, and I struggle with the taste of those. I blend it with a green-red, or a kratom strain that has a good taste. You know how some are better than others in the taste department. Blend with a TFH and prepare for heaven.

Superb reviews, thanks!

Nice review, I’m happy the Kratom is working for you. I wanted to put it out there about red Hulu. Hulu’s in general work the best for me, who knows why, but my BFF has a cage around his spine, ate up with arthritis in the spine, multiple surgeries etc and won’t take the pain pills anymore even though his pain is like yours, he can barely walk. The day is coming when he won’t be able to, but in the meantime the red Hulu and another red with a crazy name like sibua? Something like that. It takes his pain from a 9 to a 6 or 7, and he’s so grateful for that. I would try the red Hulu from a reputable vendor like BB or STH. Ohh Smiley has a red glow you really should try!

Hey i ordered the super green last week and it is strong. I actually take less of it. Than i normally would of the strains i order from botanical bunny. Im really liking the yellow too. Very relaxing. Good for pain,anxiety.

Botanical bunny is my favorite vendor aside from texas family harvest.

I like the premium red md also that u spoke of in your original post. In general reds have always been my favorite. But the yellow and greens botanical bunny has right now are top shelf.

Is your screen name a reference to 90210? If so, genius. If not, even more genius!

Botanical Bunny is my favorite vendor aside from texas family harvest.

Botanical Bunny, Lucky Herbals, Smiley Time, Herbal RVA, all proven reliable vendors with good working websites... Batches are not small, gone in 24 hours - but rather they stock enough "Medium" size imports that you can actually do Reviews! I'd be confident those Super Green / Premium Red, batches are available & can still be ordered, at least for a few weeks...

Medium imports are the bread & butter of consumer Kratom. Many, many, members have posted here on MM - some of BB's top quality kratom, batches are equal to anything out there. Medium batches = 200 to maybe 1000 kilos? Air Cargo shipments start @ 300 or more. "Small Batch" kratom, the Chat Room sellers import like 20 to 50 kilos, get their drop, and strains get cherry picked and Sell Out in a few hours... Compare ALL this, to the USA Wholesale guys. Big Kratom importers doing container loads, 20 tons is small. Many shipments 50 tons or more... @ 907 kilos per Ton, that's 45000 kilos of Wholesale, dirt cheap, bulk kratom. Red or Green bulk... No strains or batches.

Please Support the small and medium vendors!! Any comments re: My numbers here? Did I get anything wrong, does anyone think there is Quality Control over 45000 kilos... compared to 500 ??

hey is the pwr just listed as wild red on the site or is it a different strain?

[KurtisCards]

The wild red is not the same, it must be sold out, because it was on there as Premium Wild Red.

[BabyICE]

Thanks for this review! I never ordered from BB and I'm looking to try them out sometime! Because of this review I'm definitely going to try the Wild Red now! Appreciate it.

Just have a question even though this message is months old. Is the "Red Blend" a type or are you still referring to the "PWR"? Can't find "Red Blend".
Just asking because I'm trying to build a good 4 split kilo there. I'm also trying to find their best greens also and they don't have any GMD except for an ounce left. Have you tried any of BB's greens?
Thanks!
