Maca root is another option. Some vitamin B-12 works for me, but then I have vitamin deficiencies.
I love my caffeine, but after noon it’s usually a mistake for me to drink anything stronger than a green tea.
Kratom has definitely been the best of the lot though.
Regular kratom leaf is so mild. Coffee is way more addictive. I’ve quit kratom cold turkey each time I’ve taken a tolerance break and had no issues. I cannot quit caffeine cold turkey.
I’m not recommending gas station kratom extract shots. Dry, ground leaf is what I take. OP asked for something other than caffeine which isn’t exactly healthy in the amounts the meme describes.
Was your roommate using the liquid shots? I feel like you’ve gotten some bad information regarding what kratom is and isn’t. I assume you’ve never tried it. Is that correct?
