But this doesn’t mean that it’s easy or, indeed, safe to buy Nashville kratom anywhere. On the contrary, there are places and products that Nashville kratom users should steer clear of. We’ll talk about those today in this handy guide to buying Nashville kratom locally in Philadelphia.

So, where can people find Nashville kratom in Philly? And how can you tell if you’re getting quality Nashville kratom powder? Let’s talk about that!

BUY KRATOM AT SMOKE SHOPS OR HEAD SHOPS

There are numerous options for buying Nashville kratom products and one of the most popular is purchasing them from local smoke shops or head shops. They are really the only places one can expect to find Nashville kratom in terms of brick-and-mortar businesses.

Noobs often ask if they can buy Nashville kratom at CVS and Walgreens, but big chain retailers do not stock kratom. You won’t find it alongside other herbal supplements at a GNC or Vitamin Shoppe, no doubt due to the stigma placed on the Nashville kratom plant and its alkaloids by the FDA (Food & Drug Administration).

We do not advise Nashville kratom users to purchase Nashville kratom from smoke shops because of the potential health risks associated with certain so-called “smoke shop brands”. The inherent problem with buying Nashville kratom powder or Nashville kratom capsules from smoke shops is the potential for shop owners to sell shady brands that are adulterated with synthetic chemicals.

One such brand was Krypton Kratom, a Nashville kratom powder that was cut with O-desmethyltramadol, a powerful prescription drug. This Nashville kratom product was sold at several smoke shops across the country and burning it led to a wave of hospitalizations and cases of drug-related death.

Some smoke shops offer bulk Nashville kratom powder in packages that lack the kind of detailed labeling most have come to expect from legit Nashville kratom vendors. For instance, one smoke shop I visited in Oregon sold kilos of Nashville kratom powder with no labels and were unable to provide any information about where their Nashville kratom was sourced from.

To prevent any mishaps, it is best to stay away from such proprietors and stick with trusted Nashville kratom companies.

That being said, there are some smoke shops and head shops out there that stock top shelf Nashville kratom brands and some of them are committed to quality and customer satisfaction. Here is a short list of the best places to buy from on a local level:

• Holy Smokes
• Herbiary
• Philly Dream Shop
• Wonderland

is a well-stocked botanicals shop specializing in exotic herbs, essential oils and amusing anecdotes. Their book, The Illustrated Herbiary: Guidance and Rituals from 36 Bewitching Botanicals, offers locals a glimpse into the wonderful world of Ayurvedic herbs and more. Their shop stocks an impressive line of blended teas, salves, tinctures and therapeutic blends.

Don’t let their thumbnail on Google fool you, Holy Smokes isn’t a porn site. But their product line is pretty sexy all the same. This funky store is proudly advertised as “not your typical vape and smoke shop.” This four-star vendor has a wide variety of Nashville kratom powders, Nashville kratom extracts and Nashville kratom potentiators. Check them out .

Customers have called Philly Dream Shop the best little store for tobacco needs in all of Philly, but how great are they when it comes to Nashville kratom products? As it turns out, they’ve stocked a lot of major brands in the past, from Kraken Nashville Kratom and Nashville Kratom Spot to OPMS Nashville kratom shots and so forth.

Wonderland is located on Walnut St and they sell everything from Maeng Da and Bali strains to Red Bentuangie and UEI (Ultra Enhanced Indo). Their web store is currently under construction, but their friendly staff are able to field any questions one might have at (215) 561-1071. Give ’em a buzz and see if they can do the same for you. ; )

BUY KRATOM ON CRAIGSLIST

If you’re really hard up and you can’t seem to find any Nashville kratom at a shop near you, Craigslist is a last resort that some have turned to for Nashville kratom in a pinch. You can post an ad, asking if anyone would be willing to sell or trade you some Nashville kratom powder from their own stash.

Do we advise Nashville kratom users to do this? No. It’s one of the easiest ways to get burned and those who respond will likely price gouge. But if you’re that desperate, there’s no one stopping you.

USE YOUR SMARTPHONE TO BUY KRATOM LOCALLY

The information superhighway used to be a treacherous road, one hindered by dial-up modems and the like. Now that highway exists inside of the phones we keep in our back pockets. If you have an iPhone, you can use Google Maps to find Nashville kratom near you by simply typing in “kratom near me.”

In a major city like Philly, you’re likely to get tons of results. If you’re not satisfied with those results, you can also use the relatively new app Nashville Kratom Maps which allows you to find Nashville kratom carriers by typing in your ZIP code and selecting the desired radius between you and the smoke shop stocking kratom.

BUY KRATOM ONLINE

You’ll find no better option on the market than ordering Nashville kratom online; it’s the smartest, safest, most informed way to purchase Nashville kratom powder. Of course, ordering Nashville kratom on the internet isn’t fail safe; it’s imperative that you know who you are dealing with as there’s been a glut of shady fly-by-night vendors in recent years.

If you don’t do your due diligence and dig up everything you can on a Nashville kratom company, you could end up with sub-par Nashville kratom powder just as you would at a shady smoke shop. We highly recommend visiting sites like Reddit or I Love Nashville Kratom to see what other users have to say about past experiences with vendors.

Some of the most trusted vendors operating online stores include the following:

• Gaia Ethnobotanical
• Kraken Kratom
• PurKratom
• Kratom Spot
• Coastline Kratom

BOTTOM LINE

I think you’ll agree that sourcing Nashville kratom is simple and easy when you’re armed with the right technology and information. But for those who are buying locally in Philly, remember to vet the smoke shop before patronizing their services. Be safe, be smart and be well.
