Here at Grassroots Harvest, we’re all about the wonderful properties and benefits of both CBD and kratom! Both these pleasant products are popular for benefitting mood and overall well-being. The effects range from warm, slow, steady, and calm feelings, to a more euphoric, vibrant, and bubbly state of mind. You might prefer the tranquility that comes with CBD, or you might enjoy the versatility of kratom. Whatever you prefer, it’s good to know a thing or two about these natural ingredients that may help sooth discomfort. What matters is not only the individual effects they may cause but also the outcome of combining them! 

We’ve talked about both of these plants separately quite a lot, but if you search the Internet, you’ll notice that not much has been said about using CBD and kratom together. When thinking about using a combination of CBD and kratom, you might have a few questions: Is it safe to use them simultaneously? Is there a specific dose I should pay attention to? What type of kratom vein works best with CBD? 

Remember, we’re not doctors, and natural ingredients like these may have different effects for different people. That’s why it’s best to start slow & work up from there when trying kratom or CBD, or when combining them. Also, if you have any questions, be sure to ask your doctor. The comination of CBD kratom is not one we’ve found a lot of research on, but we’re going to share what we can!

Let’s shed some light on all these questions so you can enjoy GRH kratom and CBD to the fullest!

First off, let’s make sure we’re all on the same page- CBD, or cannabidiol, is a part of the cannabis plant that’s become well-known for providing effects like stress relief, relief from discomfort, and more. CBD is often derived from hemp, ours is, as that makes it a federally legal product (as long as it’s below 0.3% Delta-9 THC). Kratom is a plant from Southeast Asia, the leaves are harvested and ground into powder that is either taken as-is or is put into capsules for easier use. Kratom is becoming more popular in the US for the wide variety of effects it can offer, from providing energy to major relaxation, depending on the kind you take.

Is it safe to use CBD and kratom simultaneously?

A few scientific studies suggest that kratom does not interact with our endocannabinoid system, while CBD does. In fact, these products may synthesize well with one another – one may even say their effects are symbiotic to a large extent. This makes it quite easy and safe to use them at the same time. However, it should be with specific doses that depend on your size/weight and the purpose you’re using them for. 

Is there a specific dose I should pay attention to?

When combining CBD and kratom, the first thing you should do is talk to your doctor, since we cannot make any medical recommendations or give personalized dosing. It’s always best to start with small doses and gradually build them up until you reach the desired effects.

We would recommend starting with a low dose of 3-4g of kratom (roughly 1 teaspoon) when using CBD at the same time, and not taking more than 10-15mg of CBD when using kratom.

What type of kratom vein works best with CBD?

This is a wider topic that needs further analysis from a couple of perspectives. 

From one perspective, CBD in basically every form (oil, gummies, tinctures, topicals, etc.) may be helpful in relieving stress or any type of discomfort that could be a cause for various issues. 

On the other hand, as mentioned in one of our previous articles focusing on kratom you can read here, we learned that there are a few different veins of kratom, and it’s the type of vein that determines and shapes the effect it’s going to have. In short, there are three major types of kratom (red, green, and white vein). Plus a newer one that’s still very rare and mostly unknown (yellow vein). 

This means that it’s actually quite beneficial to combine them with CBD. 

An important thing that we should mention is that…

• white vein is typically good for energizing and focusing;
• the green vein is good for inducing a positive and talkative mood; 
• red vein is good for inducing feelings of calmness and relaxation;
• and the newer type – yellow vein typical causes milder effects of energy and positivity,

…now it’s easier to discuss how CBD is going to interact with each one of these kratom veins.

In short, combining CBD and kratom depends more on the vein of kratom than it does on the CBD. That’s because kratom typically has stronger effects. So, from there… 

• A mixture of red veins and CBD is most likely to create deep, pleasant feelings of serenity and relaxation. They both have incredibly similar effects. Using a blend of these two will heighten the calm sensations you would get from each of them individually.
• A green vein in combination with CBD is most likely to induce positive feelings and diminish high levels of stress. With this combination, alleviation of any type of discomfort is more achievable than usual.
• White veins and CBD would most probably cause you to feel sharp, focused, and full of energy and positivity, but in a very natural and smooth manner. 

These few points should make this topic a lot clearer!

Of course, you should try out different products, blends, and combinations. That’ll help you determine the combination that works best for you because everyone is different! What really matters is that you buy these products from a place that you have confidence in. That’s why we are here for you. Check out our collection at https://grhkratom.com/  to learn more about each type of CBD and kratom product we offer and choose the ones that best suit your needs! CBDkratom might be the combination of effects you’re looking for.

Be cautious when mixing substances for the first time. CBS kratom is an unusual mix of products, and there isn’t a lot of research (if any) that’s been done on combining CBS and kratom. 

Everybody can react differently. While adverse effects are unlikely, it’s best to start slow & work up from there to ensure the best possible experience.

Always remember to consult your doctor or physician if you have questions before use. Although our products are natural, they are not intended to be used for medical purposes. We want you to experience kratom in the most comfortable way, so make sure to grab a quick bite beforehand. It may cause nausea on an empty stomach!
