E177 Thomas

Episode focused on quitting kratom with a lockbox as a tool. In the interview this week, Gen-Xer Thomas (long-time primarily a powder user with many attempted quits) describes the challenge as: "Addiction lies to you in your own voice".

A rough estimate of Thomas' end of day dose before he quit:

Three heaping tablespoons of kratom powder ≈ 18–24 grams. Here is how that breaks down:

A) 1 level tablespoon of kratom powder is usually about 5–7 grams

B) A heaping tablespoon is typically 6–8 grams

C) 3 heaping tablespoons → 6–8 g × 3 = 18–24 g

Kratom powder density varies by grind, moisture, and how loosely it is scooped. "Heaping” is very subjective. Some heaps are modest, others are piled high. Volume measures are unreliable for kratom. A digital scale is the only accurate way to know dose. 18–24 grams is considered a very high dose for most people and is well into a range associated with dependence, tolerance escalation, and withdrawal risk.
