Kratom is perhaps one of the least documented supplements in the market, and whatever information is available on the internet is misguided. Before discussing the most euphoric kratom strains let’s see what euphoria and kratom are?
Since its recent internet breakthrough, the substance has enjoyed a lot of attention even clouding the legalization of marijuana, its close ally.
Kratom exhibits various influences on the normal body functioning when consumed; one of them being Euphoria.
On the extreme, kratom, when consumed in high doses is fatal with the FDA reporting more than 40 deaths across the United States. However, most of these deaths were caused by consuming contaminated kratom products.
Counterfeit kratom products have extensively ruined the reputation of the fledgling industry forcing some state governments to limit the sale and production of the product within their borders.

What’s Euphoria?
Euphoria is a state of intense happiness and self-confidence. This state of mind can originate from taking certain drugs, being in love, succeeding in a challenging task, or engaging in an intensive physical activity.
The brain’s hedonic center is responsible for the processing and induction of Euphoria in human beings. Different causes of Euphoria have various ways through which they work on the brain.
For instance, physical exercises such as running increase the synthesis of endocannabinoid, which leads to what is termed as, ‘runner’s high.’ On the other hand, emotional music induces Euphoria by increasing the production of the dopamine hormone responsible for happiness.
Anyway, in this article, we will focus mainly on drug-induced Euphoria with kratom being the centre of them all.
Euphoria And Kratom
Potent Euphoria drugs are scary due to their addictive properties. These include alcohol, cocaine, heroin, and meth. Sincerely, these are narcotics, except alcohol, and can have devastating health, social and economic effects on the users. They are addictive and expensive, not to mention long term jail sentences that accompany their possession.
Where does kratom fit in this category? Well, compared to hard narcotics, kratom is a mild stimulant slightly above nicotine.
Many health facilities recommend using kratom to treat addiction to opioids, a claim that is still subject to more research. Let’s find out how exactly kratom induces these euphoric effects.
What’s Kratom?
Kratom, scientifically known as mitragyna speciosa, is an evergreen tree that thrives in the South East Asian jungles of Myanmar, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, and Borneo. The natives still use the plant as herbal medicine to cure several conditions, a practice that has lasted for several generations.
It is mindboggling, therefore, that hundreds of researchers have found no substantial evidence of medicinal properties on the kratom plant itself. The plant is laden with more than 30 alkaloids, some of which have stimulative and depressant properties. Initially, the Food and Drug Agency classified kratom as a level 2 drug due to these stimulant properties, a step that was later rescinded after a court appeal.
Today, kratom is classified as a food supplement. Still, the state food agencies are working overtime to eradicate false information online, something which has misled many users into addictions and fatal kratom abuse.
Factors Determining Kratom Euphoria
We have talked about kratom being full of stimulative alkaloids. Each of these alkaloids acts on a specific part of the brain and the range of its influence depends on its concentration on the kratom leaf’s products.
However, the primary alkaloid, mitragynine, which makes 66% of alkaloid composition on a naturally grown kratom, is responsible for causing Euphoria in users. The composition of mitragynine varies depending on the strain and the mode of production used. Different strains of kratom have different alkaloid compositions.
Let us have a look at euphoric kratom strains available in the market.
Most Euphoric Kratom Strains
Red Kratom Strains
The red kratom strains are among the most potent in the market. Naturally, red kratom strains bear red leaf veins and are rich in alkaloids. Here are the top red kratom strains.
Red Maeng Da
It would be weird if red Maeng Da doesn’t top our list. Well, this particular strain is rich in 7-hydroxy and mitragynine alkaloids which are responsible for instant euphoric feelings. Red Maeng Da kratom is available at any online vendor shop and usually comes pricier than other natural Maeng Da varieties.

Red Bali is exceptionally potent, and care should be taken when trying it for the first time. The rule of thumb is always to start with small amounts and work your way up.
Red Indo Kratom
Red Indo is a tamer of red strains and while Red Maeng Da and Red Bali are very potent varieties, red Indo is a mild sedative. Its sedative powers are strong that some users have claimed that it can reduce pain; of course, these claims are unverified scientifically.
Indo kratom is produced in Indonesian provinces except in Bali. It was among the first kratom strains to be documented as the natives relied on their alkaloid properties more than any other kratom varieties. With more research into each alkaloid present on the plant, who knows what the future holds?
Green Euphoric Kratom Strains
Green kratom strain is known to be antagonistic to red strains. Where red strains have failed, users are usually advised to try green strains. Their non-stimulative effects are opposite of what red strains offer, but the calm, euphoric feeling is retained in both.
Here are the top euphoric green strains
Super Green Malaysian
While the name might suggest a Malay origin, Malaysia actually banned the production and sale of kratom within its borders. However, Super Green Malaysia was first produced in the country hence the name green Malaysian.
Green Malaysian blends the intense potency of red strains and the mild sedate features of the white strains to give a once in a lifetime euphoria. Well, this is not always the case as different kratom strains have different reactions from one user to another.
However, Super Green Malaysian kratom is a top dog among the euphoric green kratom varieties. With such a strain, it is prudent to mind the amounts, especially if you are a newbie.
Green Indo
Of course, our list would be incomplete without mentioning an Indo strain. Indo strains are relatively potent. They are usually blended with other strains to provide an exotic, customized kratom experience. Exotic kratom is expensive and rarely available, but are the real deal.
Anyway, green Indo will relieve your stress and create that relaxed, euphoric, happy feeling. The Indonesian strain kicks in moments after consumption and can come in handy when you feel the pressures of daily life activities.
Green Bali
Bali is a beautiful dream destination for many travelers. Where is the best place to find potent kratom than the famous holiday making island?

Green Bali gets absorbed into your system slowly and takes up to 30 minutes to take effect on kratom tea. Nonetheless, some methods such as tinctures and vaporizers deliver the alkaloids directly into your body’s blood systems.
White Euphoric Kratom Strains
We saved the best for last. The white-veined kratom strains are the top euphoric kratom varieties. Their energizing properties are not coupled up with the ‘high feeling’ associated with the red strains.
White Thai Kratom
