Two of the questions we hear most at the counter: "What's kratom?" and "Is kava the same thing?" Short answer: they're different plants with different traditions. Here's the plain-English version.

Kratom

Kratom comes from the leaves of a Southeast Asian tree. People take it as a powder, in capsules, or as an extract shot. At Elevated 369 we carry trusted names like OPMS, MIT (Go Black and Therapy), Rooted, and Super K, in a range of forms so you can pick what suits you.

Kava

Kava is a root from the South Pacific, traditionally prepared as a drink. We stock kava drinks, kava shots, and traditional kava for folks who want to explore it.

How to choose

The best pick depends on what you're after and your own experience level. That's exactly the kind of thing our staff is happy to talk through — stop by the kratom & kava section and we'll point you in the right direction. Must be 21+.
