Botanical Bunny; four strain reviews from a newbie
Posted: Thu Apr 01, 2021 12:43 pm
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!

In the meantime though it really is amazing.
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... 
- 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. 
Any comments re: My numbers here? 
Did I get anything wrong, does anyone think there is Quality Control over 45000 kilos... compared to 500 ??
