Decades ago, kratom was nothing but a tropical tree in Southeast Asia. But now, it is gaining popularity in the Western world in what seems like every passing second.
Since it is not as potent as some of its other white counterparts, White Horn makes for a very good beginner strain. Additionally, it should be used during the day, as using it in the evening can prevent one from falling asleep.
There is much to be known.
What is White Horn Kratom?
Kratom, also known as Mitragyna Speciosa, is an evergreen tree that grows in the tropical regions of southeast asia, where the climate is more than ideal.
Kratom is offered in four varieties including red, green, white, and yellow/gold.
White Horn Kratom is named after the shape of its leaves, as the edges of the leaves look like horns. These unique leaves pack vast amounts of alkaloids, making this kratom strain a potent option.
What’s more, White Horn Kratom has a pleasant, sweet(ish) smell, and its effects last for long periods compared to other strains. For this reason, most kratom enthusiasts, even beginners, tend to fall in love with White Horn.
White Horn Kratom is cultivated by a selected number of skilled and professional farmers in specific regions of the Borneo islands. These areas have exotic and dense jungles with hot temperatures, humidity, and enough rainfall for the healthy growth of White Horn.
Hence, White Horn kratom can be difficult to find in store.
How to Use White Horn Kratom?
Let's begin with the most common way of using White Horn.
White Horn Kratom Toss N' Wash
The powder is used via a technique called the toss n' wash, which consists of taking a spoonful of White Horn powder, swirling it around your mouth with water, and gulping it down.
The downside to this form of using White Horn is the extremely bitter taste and powdery texture. Many people cannot tolerate it, so they opt for capsules.
White Horn Capsules
At Kratom Monkey, each capsule holds 0.7 grams of powder and made with vegan material to protect people who have allergic reactions to animal products.
However, keep in mind that due to the extra material and labor required to manufacture the capsules, the cost is slightly higher than powder.
White Horn Tea
NEVER boil water together with kratom, as that will destroy the alkaloids.
Then you have to filter the powder out to have yourself a not so delicious kratom tea (can you tell I'm not a fan).
Aside from being time consuming, White Horn tea also produces a harsh bitter taste, but if you like bitter flavors, then maybe White Horn tea is for you.
How Much White Horn Should You Use?
Whether you are a kratom beginner or an experienced user, size matters. The right serving size will produce your desired effects and avoid unwanted reactions.
If it is your first time using White Horn Kratom, start with a small serving and build your way up.
If you have no idea what constitutes a small serving, take a look at the table below.
Weight | Grams in Powder | # ofCapsules |
150 or less | 1-2 | 1-3 |
150-200 | 2-3 | 3-4 |
200 or more | 3-4 | 4-6 |
Keep in mind that White Horn's effects are dependent on how much you use, which means you will experience different effects as well as benefits depending on how little or how much you use at a time.
Do not forget to drink plenty of water while using White Horn kratom, as failing to do so can cause dehydration, and other side effects, such as dry mouth. Kratom hangovers are also linked to dehydration.
Plus, water helps break down kratom powder and capsules. Thus, staying hydrated can help your body absorb the substance effectively and much faster.
How Long Does White Horn Take to Kick in?
Assuming you have a pretty empty stomach, take a look at the table below to get a better understanding of how fast White Horn kicks in.
Method | Time in Minutes |
Toss N Wash | 5-10 |
Capsules | 30-45 |
Tea | 3-10 |
White Horn Kratom Side Effects
According to the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), there are no approved kratom medical uses. The organization went ahead and issued a number of warnings about its potential side effects. Most of these side effects are linked to using heavy dosages.
Some short-term side effects of White Horn Kratom may include:
- Sweating
- Nausea
- Dry mouth
- Itching
- Diarrhea
- Loss of appetite
- Increased urination
- Drowsiness
- Agitation or irritability feeling
- Abnormal fast heartbeat – feeling like heart is fluttering or racing
- Hallucinations
- Loss of muscle coordination in legs or arms
- Liver damage
Using high kratom doses on a daily basis for a long time can cause long-term side effects such as:
- Appetite loss
- Constipation
- Weight loss
- Shaking or tremors
- Difficulty staying asleep or falling asleep
- Frequent urination
- Dark spots
Some people suffer withdrawal symptoms when they stop using kratom. These withdrawal symptoms vary in severity. Some include tremors, nausea or vomiting, nervousness, restlessness, sadness, anger, etc.
Before using White Horn kratom, consult your doctor to ensure that the substance is safe.
White Horn Tolerance & Dependency
Are you a White Horn fan but feel like it is not producing the desired effects after using your usual serving size? You have probably built tolerance.
Do not despair since this is normal, and it occurs with many substances that people incorporate into their wellness routines, kratom being one of them. In most cases, tolerance occurs due to using kratom too often or in too large of a quantity.
Kratom tolerance has 3 phases:
The honeymoon phase – The phase includes first-time kratom users who have not yet developed tolerance. The user can enjoy White Horn Kratom effects and achieve the desired results with a minimal dosage. This phase does not last for long. Thus, enjoy it to the fullest if you are a kratom beginner.
The sweet spot phase – If you enjoy the kratom lifestyle and know which White Horn dosage is best to achieve the effects you want, then you are in the sweet spot phase. Most users achieve their desired effects without increasing their serving sizes.
The slippery slope phase – When a user does not keep tabs on their White Horn kratom tolerance, it will continue to increase, leading to the slippery slope phase, and eventually dependence.
Always take a tolerance break when using White Horn. Longer breaks are clearly better. If possible, only use kratom when you absolutely need it.
Never use kratom recreationally. Doing so, may easily lead to dependency.
What Does White Horn Kratom Taste Like?
However, I will say that White Horn is not as bitter as other strains like green and yellow strains.
If you're not a fan of the taste and texture, I highly recommend using capsules, or if you're drinking tea, add honey or sugar to mitigate the bitterness.
How to Store White Horn The Right Way
1. Sunlight
2. Humidity
3. Heat
Over time, these elements will destroy the alkaloids and thus, weaken the potency.
You'll want to avoid storing White Horn in the following places:
- Bathrooms
- Ovens
- Chimneys
- Sinks
- Stoves
- Window sills
- Cars
- Heaters
On the contrary, the places where it's safe to store White Horn include:
- Closets
- Pantries
- Drawers
If you do happen to expose White Horn to these elements, don't worry. Short term exposure won't do much damage to the alkaloids.
Is White Horn Kratom Legal?
However, states and local governments have taken further action against kratom.
Therefore, if you reside in any of the following six states you are not allowed to possess, distribute, or use kratom.
1. Alabama
2. Arkansas
3. Rhode Island
4. Vermont
5. Wisconsin
6. Indiana
What to Look For When Buying White Horn?
Organic Kratom
Lab Tests
The purpose of lab tests is twofold. First, you can ensure the product is free from the harmful substances mentioned above.
Secondly, lab results verify the concentration of alkaloids in the product.
Therefore, allowing the customers to compare the potency between various vendors while also protecting them from false or outlandish vendor claims.
Customer Guarantee
Therefore, if the White Horn is high quality, and the vendor is being honest about the quality, the product should have a guarantee.
Where Can You Buy White Horn Kratom?
Kratom has gained fame in the Western world, and its sales and use are booming, making it readily available in many locations.
If your goal is to buy White Horn in person, you may be able to find it in the following places:
1. Gas stations
2. Head shops
3. Smoke and vape shops
4. Dispensaries
5. Herbal stores
However, brick and mortar stores tend to have a lot of overhead, which means higher prices for the customer, as well as less turnover (non fresh kratom).
If possible, I highly suggest purchasing from online stores instead.
