I agree it does not taste and does not look like normal kratom. Probably use some exctracts. I thought it wil boost my mood give me energy and motivation...but i can not describe what i feel. Most time I feel relaxation mixed with sedation. It started to make me sleepy. NO dopamine boost like most other strains. GMD is much better and i already know what can expect when i take it. But this bigtrea 1.5% is so weird. I wont order it anymore. It could make tolerance to other strains. GMD or Green
