Kratom is the common term for the Mitragyna Speciosa plant, native to the Southeast Asia area of the world. It is a tree with leaves that contain compounds called "alkaloids" which have various effects on the body if ingested. Kratom has been used for thousands of years. Kratom powder is composed of the leaves and leaf stems/veins that have been dried and processed in a mill to crush them into a very fine powder (similar to flour or cinnamon).

Most people who take kratom ingest the powder by measuring out their dose on a spoon or scale, putting it on their tongue, and drinking it down with their favorite beverage. This is fondly known as the "Toss n' Wash" method. The alkaloids in kratom are bitter and the powder's texture can be a deal breaker for many people. Those people tend to prefer capsules instead. Our capsules are made in-house and each one consists of a vegan-friendly 00 size hypermellose capsule containing roughly 1/2 a gram of kratom powder. A typical dose is roughly 5-10 capsules (everyone's different, so titrate up until you find your own sweet spot).

We are not medical professionals. We can't provide any kind of medical advice whatsoever. All users of kratom are advised to talk to their primary care doctor and/or pharmacist to determine if they can safely use kratom. KratomKafeUSA & Arizona Kratom accepts no liability for effects experienced by users of our products.

Some compounds exist which will intensify or extend the duration of effects produced by kratom in the body. One of the most popular is grapefruit or grapefruit juice. Grapefruit contains a compound which deactivates an enzyme in the small intestine that normally destroys many of the alkaloids before they can be absorbed into the bloodstream. This deactivation significantly increases that amount of alkaloids absorbed into the bloodstream. All individuals should proceed with caution before ingesting grapefruit and verify whether it will interfere with any medical conditions or medications that they are using. Magnesium and the medication "Tagamet" are other possible potentiators. Beginners should avoid using any potentiators and focus on getting comfortable with kratom's own effects first. Since kratom's alkaloids are more easily extracted and absorbed in an acidic environment, taking it with citrus fruits or other acidic foods/drinks can help increase the efficiency of absorption.

Be sure to eat a light snack when taking kratom. Don't drive or operate heavy machinery when using kratom. Some people may experience constipation. If you've just eaten a large, fatty, or high protein meal, give a dose 1 to 1.5 hours to absorb and take effect before taking any more. As far as dosing goes, less is more. Kratom's energizing effects are more apparent with smaller doses, and the sedative or relaxing effects are more apparent at higher doses. A typical dose is 3-5 grams, which is around 1 to 1.5 teaspoons. A scale

We're so sorry to hear that. Fortunately, it's very rare that an order isn't delivered correctly. Unfortunately, once we hand off the package to USPS its journey is up to them. Sometimes mistakes happen. We ask that you check with your neighbors to verify that your package wasn't delivered to the wrong address, and we ask that you give USPS 2 business days to see if the package is delivered late. If both of those things have been done, please call USPS and submit a lost mail request so they can attempt to locate the package. If you paid for Priority Mail Express and the package did not arrive on the guaranteed delivery date, you may be entitled to a refund from USPS; contact them for information.

Yes, well behaved and potty trained animals are welcome. However, we ask that they're kept on a leash and do not disturb others in the shop.

We are true believers in the power and utility of kratom. We were motivated to create a space filled with like-minded people where customers could come together to socialize, be creative, and relax. What we've built is a pair of brick and mortar shops, perfect for customers seeking a local business that's manned by experienced workers who can answer all of your questions and provide a variety of quality kratom products. We serve customers from all areas of Tucson and work hard to meet everyone's unique kratom needs. We have guest Wi-Fi in both shops, a comfortable lobby, and refreshing complimentary water. For those who live outside of Tucson, we happily ship our products to all locations where kratom is legal, and we also deliver locally in town!

We also sell coffees, teas, hot chocolates, and similar hot drinks brewed on site and infused with kratom powder, with prices varying according to the amount of kratom that the customer desires (including 0 grams for those wanting just the drink itself). We sell some kratom swag as well such as notebooks, T-shirts, face masks, headbands, etc.

It's certainly possible. We'd love to hear from you! Contact us to inquire about any open positions and feel free to drop off a resume at either of our locations. Someone will contact you shortly afterward.

We understand that not all customers can make it into the shop during business hours, so we have vending machines available for after-hours use which are stocked with our most popular products! Customers enter through the front door of the building, and the machines are located just a few feet away within their own separated space at the front of each shop.

The machines accept $1, $2, $5, $10, and $20 bills. It accepts pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and all types of $1 coins (Sacagawea, Susan B. Anthony, Presidential, and American Innovation). The machines dispense any change that's due via all of the coins listed above. We appreciate when customers re-use the $1 coins to pay at our machines, since they are uncommon and it saves us the trouble of special ordering more! The machines also take all major credit/debit cards and the card readers do support Tap-to-Pay for digital wallets.

The machine pre-authorizes your card for the amount corresponding to the most expensive item available. You MUST have at least that much money available to charge on the card, otherwise the machine will refuse the transaction. Once you make your selection and the product is dispensed, the machine charges only that final amount.

Some of those cards will work, but some do not. We won't know for certain without testing the specific type that you have. The machines pre-authorize the card for $36 and then debit the full item cost at the time of sale, so please keep in mind that some cards can't be used at all because they're too low of a value or they may not have enough value left after making your first or second purchase.

No! Don't worry, that message simply means that your card has been pre-authorized and approved to spend up to $36. You will NOT be charged unless you purchase something, and you will ONLY be charged the price for the item that you selected. Once the purchase is complete, the charge is finalized immediately.

Sorry about that! It's rare, but it can happen. Please call 520-250-5510 if you ever have any issues and we will assist you, even after-hours. Please DO NOT hit, shake, or tilt the machine!!! Customers will be liable for any damage, and the machines are monitored 24/7 via video and audio surveillance. Our machines are equipped with a drop sensor which detects when an item fails to fall into the drop chamber. If an item doesn't fall completely, the machine will detect it and it will either refund your cash or cancel the credit/debit card transaction. Cards will NOT be charged if the item doesn't pass the drop sensor.

Please contact us and we will assist you. Please ensure that your bills are clean, flat, and in overall good condition before inserting them. Please put coins into the machine gently and slowly so that each one can be registered and counted correctly. If coins are forced into the slot too quickly, it's likely that they'll stuck and jam the coin handler. The coin handler determines the coins' denomination by size and weight, so coins that are corroded or covered in gunk will not register correctly. You can push the coin return button to have the inserted cash returned to you at any time.

Please make your selection carefully. We often change the items sold in the machine, and the item you want may be moved to a different sleeve or no longer available. We can ONLY exchange products that are unopened. Please notify us ASAP to explain your situation and we will do our best to assist you.

We love customer feedback! Please let us know what you'd like to see stocked in the machines and we'll see if it's possible to accomodate your request. However, some things just aren't vending machine friendly despite our best efforts.
