I recently became interested in kratom and came across two popular varieties, Red Maeng Da and Red Bali. What are their main differences in terms of effects, strength and duration of effect? Which one is better to choose for relaxation or pain control? I would be glad to hear feedback and recommendations from those who have already tried both varieties.

Yes, I've tried both of these varieties of Kratom and they do differ greatly in effect. Red Maeng Da is considered to be stronger and more energizing. Meanwhile, Red Bali is more known for its calming effect that helps you relax and deal with pain. Learn about Kratom and get more detailed comparisons here. Maybe this will help you make the right choice.
