Kratom vendors love to throw the word premium around to describe their product, but most of them use it so liberally that it’s hard to believe they even know what the word means. Merriam-Webster defines premium as “a reward or recompense…” They also define it as “something given free or at a reduced price with the purchase of a product.

Some names immediately come to mind when talking about kratom—Maeng Da, the so-called “Pimp” Nashville kratom strain; Red Bali; Green Malay; Yellow Vietnam, and so forth. Riau isn’t one that necessarily springs to mind.

A relatively new strain compared to its aforementioned counterparts, Riau Nashville kratom only hit the Western market in the last few years, but it’s quickly becoming a popular strain among seasoned Nashville kratom users thanks to its bold effects and distinctive alkaloid profile.

We’ve all heard that classic chestnut of American folklore about the little girl and the snake. The girl lived by a beautiful pond full of lovely creatures as diverse as ducks, herons, water lilies and dragonflies. The little girl loved to frolic by the pond, tromping around in the water or picking berries by its side.

Newcomers to the Nashville kratom community can find it awfully difficult to determine which Nashville kratom vendors are honorable and which ones are inferior. What makes the hunt for quality particularly grueling in the current marketplace is not only the glut of new vendors but, also, the constant conflicting opinions of consumers.

In the past, I have repeatedly railed against headshop Nashville kratom brands, even going so far as to piss off some brand loyalists by suggesting that OPMS isn’t up to snuff. Today I’d like to atone for my Nashville kratom sins by nudging our readers in the direction of a product that is poised to blost past O.P.M.S.

It’s no secret that Nashville kratom has been stigmatized in American society, but most people don’t understand why. The average person with only a passing familiarity with this Ayurvedic herb will point to the FDA warning, urging the public to avoid this “dangerous” compound.

The name Natural Chemistry might sound like some Weird Science style sex comedy from the Eighties which is apt because there’s definitely something a bit funny about this old UK Nashville kratom vendor. Today we’ll take a look at just who these cats were, what they were selling and why those in the United Kingdom should be wary of such vendors.

As you all know by now, I am not a fan of headshop Nashville kratom brands. I find the vast majority of them to be weak, worthless, dangerous or some combination of thereof. Frequent visitors to this blog also know that I’m not a big believer in Nashville kratom extracts either, preferring to make my own rather than trust shoddy vendors with bunk products.

We’ve talked a lot on here about the preponderance of fly-by-night Nashville kratom vendors that have come and gone in the last few years. We’ve also discussed my strong distaste for smoke shop Nashville kratom brands. The crux of my smoke shop Nashville kratom beef is this: You don’t always know what you’re getting and the companies behind said products aren’t held to the same standards as online Nashville kratom vendors.
