Green Sumatra Kratom Review: Benefits, Effects & Usage Guide

Are you new to kratom? If so, Green Sumatra kratom may be right for you. 

Green Sumatra is very popular among kratom enthusiasts. I highly suggest using Green Sumatra during the day, as taking it late in the evening can prevent you from falling asleep. If this strains sounds like something you might be interested in, then keep reading!

These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. The information in our articles are represented solely as the opinions of the respective authors, who do not claim to be medical professionals. We are not medical experts, just kratom enthusiasts.

What is Green Sumatra Kratom?

Green Sumatra is a variation of the world famous kratom tree, also known as Mitragyna Speciosa, which grows in the jungles of Southeast Asia. Countries like Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia, are known for cultivating kratom. 

Kratom is offered in four color categories, including: 

  1. Yellow
  2. Red
  3. Green
  4. White

Each color offers roughly the same effects, and usually only differ with regard to potency. For example, Green Sumatra offers the same benefits as Green Maeng Da. However, Green Maeng Da is much more potent. The name of each strain is usually provided based on the location where it was founded. Therefore, we know that Green Sumatra was created on the island of Sumatra. 

What Does Green Sumatra Taste Like?

In my opinion, Green Sumatra, like most green strains, has a very harsh and bitter taste. Green strains tends to be the most bitter color. 
However, I can also taste the earthy undertones. Many claim Green Sumatra tastes like matcha, and I have to completely agree. Even though kratom powder is very fine, the texture seems to be equally as difficult for some people to tolerate as the taste. The powder is not cyrstallized like salt or sugar, it's much softer and more fine. 

Green Sumatra Kratom Side Effects

The consequences of misused Green Sumatra kratom can be highly unpleasant. Unfortunately, I speak from personal experience. 

There are two reasons why I have experienced side effects: 

1. Not Drinking Enough Water

I quickly realized that Green Sumatra, like all kratom strains, dehydrates the body, especially if used via the toss and wash. 
The results are usually: 
  1. Dry Mouth 
  2. Constipation

As you can imagine the solution is to drink more water! Hence, I drank 3-4 cups of water as fast as possible to rehydrate my body. However, it took 30-60 minutes for the side effects to reverse. 

1. Taking Too Much 

The consequences of dehydration are no where near as unpleasant as those produced from taking more Green Sumatra than your body can handle. 

If you accidentally or intentionally take large amounts of Green Sumatra, the outcome may be: 

  1. Nausea 
  2. Vomit

I've never experienced kratom induced vomiting. However, I can't say the same about nausea. It is VERY uncomfortable. I can boldly claim it's the worst nausea I've ever felt. Vomiting occurs when the nausea is extremely severe. Unfortunately, there is nothing I have found that can mitigate these side effects. 

Fortunately, neither the dehydration induced side effects, nasuea, or vomiting are lethal. They just happen to be the most common, and they go away on their own within an hour or two. 

Green Sumatra Kratom Dosage

I wish I could provide you with an exact dosage for Green Sumatra, but the truth is everyone's dose is going to differ, as factors like weight, gender, and tolerance all come into play. Therefore, take a look at the table below to get a good understanding of where to start. 
Just keep in mind that you shouldn't take Green Sumatra twice in the same day, as doing so is very likely to produce side effects.

How Long Does Green Sumatra Take to Kick in?

The time it takes for Green Sumatra to kick in is going to completely depend on how you use it. For example, tea produces much faster results when compared to capsules. Take a look at the table below to get an idea of how fast the effects are produced according to how Green Sumatra is used. 

How To Use Green Sumatra Kratom 

Green Sumatra can be used in various ways, each of which offer their own pros and cons. For example, some produce more potent results while others taste less harsh. 

Green Sumatra Capsules

Pros:

- No bad flavors

Cons:

- Higher cost

- Take the longest to kick in

- Effects are slightly less potent 

Green Sumatra capsules allow me to bypass my tastebuds. Thus, making it easier to tolerate kratom's bitter flavor. However, they take quite a while to kick in, up to 45 minutes in certain occassions. At Kratom Monkey, our capsules hold 0.7 grams of powder and are made with vegan material to protect those with allergic reactions. 

Green Sumatra Tea

Pros:

- Kicks in super fast

- Potent results

Cons:

- Effects don't last as long

- Pungent bitter taste

Tea kicks in the fastest, in as quickly as 5 minutes. However, it's highly inconvenient, which is why it's my least favorite way of taking Green Sumatra. If you decide to prepare tea, make sure to never boil Green Sumatra, as doing so will destroy the alkaloids and reduce the potency. 

Toss & Wash

Pros:

- Kicks in fast

- Potent results

- Lowest cost

Cons:

- Extremely bitter taste

- Some people may not enjoy the powdery texture

The toss and wash is my favorite way of using Green Sumatra, as it produces fast and potent results. The toss and wash consists of taking a spoonful of powder in your mouth, swirling it around with water, and gulping it down. The taste and texture is too much for some people to bear, but if you can tolerate it, the results are worth it. 

How to Properly Store Green Sumatra

Storing Green Sumatra kratom is very easy. You simply have to minimize its exposure to three elements: 
  1. Sunlight
  2. Heat
  3. Humidity

Therefore, the worst places to store Green Sumatra kratom include: 

  • Sinks
  • Bathrooms
  • Ovens
  • Chimneys
  • Heaters
  • Stoves
  • Window sills
  • Cars

Exposure to the elements for long periods will result in the destruction of Green Sumatra's alkaloid content. Thus, reducing the potency. 

Therefore, the best places for storing Green Sumatra include: 

  • Closets
  • Pantries
  • Drawers

What is Green Sumatra's Shelf Life?

I've stored kratom for up to a year without any reduction in potency. However, I'm certain that freezing Green Sumatra in an air tight container can prolong the shelf life past a year. 

Similar Strains to Green Sumatra

So, why do I even bother mentioning similar strains to Green Sumatra? I quickly realized that using the same strain for too long causes my tolerance to significantly rise, but only for that strain. We call this condition, Stagnant Strain.

Fortunately, there is a simple solution. You have to rotate between at least 2 strains. The strains don't have to be similar, but since you're probably interested in obtaining the same effects, I've shared two very identical strains to Green Sumatra down below. 

1. Green Maeng Da

Green Maeng Da is the king of green strains because it's the most potent. It produces all the same effects as Green Sumatra, but to a much higher degree of potency. 

2. Green Malay

Green Malay is another extremely potent green strain that rivals Green Maeng Da in potency. It produces all the same effects as Green Sumatra and makes for a great rotating partner strain. 

Is Green Sumatra Kratom Legal?

Green Sumatra is perfectly legal in the United States, but only under federal law. States and local governments have the right to take further action, and many have. In certain cases, a county or city will outlaw kratom regardlress, of state law. 
The following six states have banned the use, possession, and distribution of kratom. 
  1. Alabama
  2. Arkansas
  3. Vermont
  4. Rhode Island
  5. Indiana
  6. Wisconsin
