What strain of Kratom is in the stinger extract? I take red vein Bali capsules and am fine. But I had a major fight with my boyfriend while on extract and I’m assuming maybe it was not the strain for me. I need the red strains to keep me down. I’m afraid this strain brought me up and caused me to do a lot of damage.
