Piratall Review (by Pirate Botanicals)

Review of Pirate Botanicals Piratall Nootropic Supplement

Product: Piratall (60 caps – 30 servings)

Manufacturer/Vendor: Pirate Botanicals

Website: https://piratebotanicals.com/Piratall-60-Capsules-p84714017

Cost: $69.99

Fat Sam’s Legal High Rating

General Product Info

I have used many Pirate Botanicals products and have been a fan of Piratall for years. I have reviewed this product twice before and it had earned my best rating (5 Star Fat Sammy Rating). Although, I still like to keep up with my favorite products, since they do change throughout the years. Piratall has always relied on ‘Huperzine A’ for its cognitive enhancement and memory invigoration. It also uses an adaptogen and antioxidant, with some natural caffeine to create (I guess what you could call) mental sparks. The product comes in 30-day supplies (2 capsules per dose) and the bottle even advertises cognitive enhancement.

Product Administration

Depending upon my day, I will take either the recommended dose (2 capsules) or more. Occasionally, on a long day when I need a boost, I will do 3 doses in one day. I always drink a full glass of water with each dose. Normally, I will have a light breakfast of some kind at the same time. If I take more than one dose in a day, I will still consume a glass of water and a light snack.

Product Effects

Piratall is one of the coolest products I have used. While there is enough natural caffeine for me to feel a kick on pretty quickly, the nootropics do their magic to put my brain to work. I can attribute my motivation, dedication, work ethic, focus, cognitive acuity, and memory to my daily dose of Piratall. I can say after years of taking it daily, it has built up to a pretty significant advantage and I am what I would describe as a routine of success.  Originally it was just helping me study, but now it helps me control my life entirely. I did feel it the first time I took it, but I have always felt it. And I have only increasingly beneficial effects as time moves forward.

Final Thoughts

I have been a long-time fan of Piratall. This is a great product and I still use it every day. The bottle variation does change, as I believe they are such a large company they have gone through a few different labels, but the ingredients are always the same. I know it is a brand I can trust, it is the only legal stimulant I like, and it is a killer smart drug. As a nootropic, it has everything that the mind needs to get cognitively geared up. I have substituted this for my morning coffee nearly every day for over 2 years now. Sometimes I take a double dose if I know I have a really long day, sometimes more, and I have never had any problems.  The company is professional and I always get my package in a timely fashion. As the past couple times I have reviewed Piratall, it still maintains a 5 Star Fat Sammy Rating! To the guys over at Pirate botanicals, GREAT WORK!

Pirate Chill Review (5HTP Nootropics)

Review of Pirate Botanicals Pirate Chill Experience

Product: Pirate Chill (30 count)

Manufacturer/Vendor: Pirate Botanicals

Website: https://piratebotanicals.com/Pirate-Chill-30-Capsules-p76221666

Cost: $59.99

Fat Sam’s Legal High Rating

General Product Info

I have been using Pirate Botanicals supplements for years. Pirate Chill has always been a good one for stress, anxiety, and social tension. It makes social events more fun, and I have kind of considered it a sort of “party pill,” so-to-speak.  It is natural, legal, and safe. The formula is 5-HTP and L-Theanine based, with some Passion Flower extract and other ingredients.  The label and bottling (as always with Pirate Botanicals) is stunning and professional.  There is a seal on every bottle, ensuring it has never been tampered with. 30 capsules are in each container.

Product Administration

The directions on the bottle state to take one capsule per day, and that the bottle contains thirty doses. Typically, I use the product occasionally rather than daily, however, for the purpose of this trial, I have also chosen to purchase and use a bottle as described (one pill per day). Pirate Chill is an effective product, so I always consume a full glass of water with the pill, and usually eat a light meal or snack before I ingest it.

If I want to have a wilder party, I will sometimes take 2 or 3 capsules, but I can firmly say 4 capsules is too many at one time.

Product Effects

Depending upon the dosing, I have different effects. When I take the product as described (one pill per day), I do see a dramatic reduction in daily anxiety and stress. I feel much more relaxed. When I take more than one dose at a time, I have an actual euphoric and bit more wild effect. I would never suggest this for a first-time experience. Using this daily over time does take advantage of the nootropic formula’s ability to “build up” in the system, and it allowed for serenity and relaxation to become a normal part of my life.

Final Thoughts

On top of everything, Pirate Chill is one of the closest legitimate things I have found in the supplement or nootropics world which mimics any sort of a benzo or Xanax-like effect. Although, I must say I prefer the longer-term benefits, which is really what it is for. The Pirate Botanicals nootropics products are for daily use, meaning they build up in the system and provide even greater benefits throughout time. Pirate Chill is also natural, which makes me like it even more. The last time I reviewed Pirate Chill, it earned a 5 Star Fat Sammy Rating as well. I am glad to see that has not changed and that I can still fully enjoy this product, as well as recommend it to others!

Pirate Blast Review (by Pirate Botanicals)

Review of Pirate Botanicals Pirate Blast Experience

Product: Pirate Blast (30 caps)

Manufacturer/Vendor: Pirate Botanicals

Website: https://piratebotanicals.com/Pirate-Blast-30-Capsules-p87010400

Cost: $54.99

Fat Sam’s Legal High Rating

General Product Info

Pirate Blast comes in a 30-capsule supply bottle. It is a dietary supplement. The purpose of the pills coming in 30-count supplies, is because it is a daily regimen. One pill is meant to be consumed every day. The red pills are easy to swallow and do not smell funny. Pirate Blast is a natural libido enhancer. It relies on a very potent Maca and Yohimbe extraction formula to increase bloodflow to the genitals and jumpstart things in the bedroom. And one of the best parts about Pirate Blast, is that it is unisex! This means it literally works for both men and women (and yes, I have regularly used this along with my girlfriend).

I should mention, like a few other brands, I have been a long-time fan of Pirate Botanicals. They produce consistently effective products. I have liked some more than others, but I am always happy with what I get, and it always comes in a professional fashion. I am reviewing their entire array of products again, as I do every couple of years (or so). They do still make the same three products I have enjoyed before, which is always a good sign. This is because it means they have been in business a long time. Anyway, back to Pirate Blast…

Product Administration

I take one capsule a day, usually before lunch time. This is just my preference, as I do not enjoy to get frisky until the afternoon or later. It is not hard to consume the capsule, but I still drink an entire glass of water with it each time.

Product Effects

Pirate Blast does not take long to “kick on.”  Within 30 minutes or so of consuming my daily dose, I begin to feel much more aroused. This arousal does not go away, being gently present throughout the entire rest of the day. If I engage in sexual activity, I can make it longer, more times, and with great ease. It is not like a Viagra, which is a bit more demanding and can consume your life. This still leaves me feeling like I am in control (not a slave to my little man). I feel like it takes the pressure off of needing to achieve an erection, and I am able to focus more on my partner during an intimate encounter.

Final Thoughts

Honestly, Pirate Blast has produced some of the most fun stiffies and erotic experiences of my lifetime. I love that the formula is natural, and I love that it is science-backed. Taking some before an erotic encounter probably makes it 600 percent more likely to achieve an erection and I swear it has made me into a better lover. The longevity of the experience is absolutely improved, as I feel it allows me to go all night. It is rare that I support a boner pill of any kind, as a lot of them have untrustworthy, controlled, or otherwise banned ingredients. Pirate Blast, however, is made by a company I trust and have used for years; and it works in such a realistic way I am not worried about having a hard-on for days after intercourse. I give it a 4 out of 5 Fat Sammy Star Rating and can very comfortably recommend Pirate Blast to both, men and women.

Siberian Motherwort Legal Marijuana Alternative Review

Siberian Motherwort Experience (Legal Weed Substitute)

Product: Siberian Motherwort (Premium Leonurus Sibiricus) by Edge77

Manufacturer/Vendor: Edge77

Website: https://edge77.com/index.php/Siberian-Motherwort-p160537429

Cost: $57.99

Fat Sam’s Legal High Rating

General Product Info

Siberian Motherwort is a legal substitute for marijuana. It is a natural weed alternative and has been used for hundreds of years ceremonially.  It can be used to induce trances, kind of like weed. It can be used to relax, kind of like weed. And it can be used to have a good time, just like weed.  Edge77 sells a premium leaf that is far better than most.  The harvest is clearly fresher and better stored.  The product comes in a resealable container, just like all of the other products they sell. I have tried many Edge products and I enjoyed all of them, so I did go into this product review with high expectations.  The label states the scientific name, which is worth mentioning too, Leonurus Sibiricus.  I purchased 2 ounces of this product, so I would have enough to make 2 batches of tea and also smoke it.

Product Administration

I smoked through a few joints of this stuff within a couple days. I also vaporized it, and I brewed 2 batches of Siberian Motherwort Tea. Making the tea is very simple. Just add half an ounce to 2-4 cups of water and boil for a few moments, then strain, wait until it cools, and consume.  I consumed the entire cup all at once.

Product Effects

I felt a very nice onset that was similar to a mild weed high about 4-5 minutes after I had begun smoking the stuff.  I did smoke it as a joint, I also vaporized it.  Vaping it (375 degrees F), was okay, but not as strong as smoking it, which was to be expected. That said, brewing it as a tea provided the best high, and it lasted the longest. It also gave me a sort of focus that felt almost spiritual. It’s rare I have spiritual experiences on any substance, but I felt very happy on this Motherwort.  Each 5-10 minutes of smoking would produce a high that lasted more than a half an hour. It made movies more interesting, it made video games more interesting, and it made hanging out with my girlfriend during coronavirus lockdown more interesting.

Final Thoughts

Altogether, I can award the Edge77 Siberian Motherwort a 4 out of 5. It’s a different taste and “flavor” so to speak, than brewing a Jolly Lotus tea, or smoking their blue lotus. I did try an experimental “spliff” using both the Siberian Motherwort and the Jolly Lotus. And I can say they go very well together, however, even using the Siberian Motherwort on its own gives me a nice buzz and left me wanting more.  I like the Edge store, they sell a lot of things that actually work.

Wild Hemp Cigarettes Review

Are Wild Hemp Cigarettes Real?

Product: Wild Hemp Cigarettes (aka “Hempettes”) 20 ct.

Manufacturer/Vendor: WildHemp.com (America Juice Co., LLC, or “America Juice”)

Website: https://www.wildhemp.com/collections/hempettes/products/hemp-ettes

Cost: $12.99

Fat Sam’s Legal High Rating

General Product Info

The Wild Hemp Hempettes are a very attractive product. The packaging is a reflective foil, including a color array of green, silver and gold. It feels a lot like a pack of normal cigarettes in weight and size. The filters on the cigarettes themselves are green and branded “Wild Hemp” with their logo.  There is a bit of gold that makes smoking the product feel classy. The rest of the cigarette roll feels normal, minus the fact there is no tobacco inside, but natural Hemp. These Hempettes are relying on the CBD to give users any effects.

Product Administration

The package describes the cancer risk associated with smoking the product. It contains 20 Wild Hemp cigarettes which they call “Hempettes.”  The drag is very thick, very heavy smoke. It feels much heavier than a normal cigarette, and maybe almost as thick as a real marijuana cigarette. I smoked 3 of these total before I decided it wasn’t for me.

Product Effects

I smoked about 3 of these over the course of an hour with a friend and I began to feel a SLIGHT relaxation. It was not anything significant, nor was it something which lasted more than a moment or two, but it most certainly was real. If a real marijuana joint gives me a 10/10 buzz, this was more like a 1/10 buzz, but it was most certainly a different feeling than smoking a tobacco-based cigarette.

Final Thoughts

This product is not a legal high. It does not get you high. It is CBD and hemp based only, and that’s really saying something for me, because I usually feel nothing from any CBD products and they typically get ranked very low.  This product was different. I did feel something, although, I will admit I feel more from both a tobacco cigarette or a marijuana joint, I did feel a VERY light, VERY mellow feeling. I would not describe it as a high or as particularly effective, but I would say it was cool buying something that felt kind of like a pack of futuristic marijuana cigarettes in a place like Maryland.

I would not recommend this to someone who is looking to get high or someone who is looking for a legal alternative to marijuana cigarettes. It is neither of these things. I would not recommend this to someone who is looking for a CBD high either, as smoking can cause cancer and you are still combusting at 3500+ degrees Fahrenheit when smoking Wild Hemp Hempettes. I can, however, say the packaging is awesome, the idea is pretty cool, and they were not a total bust. Wild Hemp Hempettes earn a very fair 3 Star Fat Sammy Rating.

Smart Life CBD Energy Shot Review

CBD Full Spectrum Energy Shot Review

Product: Smart Life CBD Full Spectrum Energy Shot (Watermelon)

Manufacturer/Vendor: Smart Life (Smart Life LLC)

Website: https://smartlifecbd.com/product/cbd-energy-shots/

Cost: $9.99

Fat Sam’s Legal High Rating

General Product Info

I purchased a “case” of Smart Life CBD Energy Shots from my local head shop. They sold many CBD products and after I explained I never feel anything from CBD, they recommended this Smart Life product to me. The reason I bought an entire case (individually priced at $9.99 in this head shop), is because the guy said it will work best if I take one every day. The label is simple, has a logo and explains the product is Full Spectrum, and meant for energy. They are watermelon flavor (at least the ones I got were). And although there are many ingredients, it is still all natural.

Product Administration

The bottle supplement facts panel explains one serving to be one full bottle. So I took one bottle a day, for ten days straight. I drank the shot in the morning, instead of my daily coffee. I consumed 1 slice of toast and 2 eggs with the shot each time, along with a single glass of water.

Product Effects

The Smart Life CBD Energy Shot is effective after it is taken consistently, every day for a week or more. This energy shot does not appear to show any immediate effects the first few times it is consumed, however, when persistent with the daily dose, it does provide a small build up in motivation and energy. It will not compare to something like Adderall, or some of the other legal stimulants out there, but it is definitely one of the best CBD products that exist.

It is worth noting that I usually do not feel ANYTHING from CBD at all. So it is exceptional that this product tasted okay and provided some effects, even if it took one bottle a day for over a week to reach an effective point.

Final Thoughts

Smart Life CBD Energy Shot will not get you high. It is not something you feel, truly, and it does take using it regularly to really see any benefits in my opinion. However, I must say that it did show me signs that my energy was improved enough for me to say this product works. I would not recommend it to someone who is only interested in taking it one time. It is more suited for someone who is willing to drink one of these every day (say in place of their morning coffee for example). I rarely give any products a 5 star rating, especially CBD products which are difficult to assess or “feel” at all, however, Smart Life tastes pretty good and after my 10th day of drinking one bottle a day, I do feel a bit more energized. Great work guys, you’ve earned a rare 5 Star Fat Sammy Rating!

Jubi Shot Review

Jubi Happy Shot (5HTP and L-Theanine Formula)

Product: Jubi “Be Happy” Tropical Punch Shot

Manufacturer/Vendor: Drink Happy Brands LLC [out of business]

Website: [out of business]

Cost: $8.99

Fat Sam’s Legal High Rating

General Product Info

Jubi is a liquid shot that is supposed to promote focus, motivation, stress relief, and happiness.  The label literally reads “Take in the Happy.” Although it comes in many flavors, my Jubi Shot was Tropical Punch. There is a huge disclaimer on the label and it is very hard to read.  Mostly this product relies on Phenibut, 5-HTP, L-theanine, and caffeine to produce the desired effects. The bottle and label feel cheap, but the product does easily reseal.

Very little information exists online about the Jubi “Happy Drink Brands LLC” company. It would appear they went out of business a long time ago and their website no longer works. In fact, if you go to their site (which I will not provide for safety purposes), it looks like it has been hacked. Still, I have seen the Jubi Anti-Anxiety, Energy, and Destress products available at several gas stations and smoke shops in my area for quite some time. I decided to pick one up at only $8.99 a few Saturdays back, and this is my experience.

Product Administration

Myself and two of my friends tried this product (each with our own bottle). We had a pizza and wing night, watched some older UFC fights, and each downed one of these bottles within a 20 minute period.  The bottle explains that it may require some patience to kick in, and that one serving size is indeed the entire contents of the bottle.

Product Effects

Each of the three participants who tried a Jubi Shot had different experiences. My experience meant a slight loss in care of responsibility, meaning I no longer cared that I had an assignment due for my masters program the next day. It lasted about 2 hours, and then I realized I needed to seriously work on my assignment, or I would fail. One of my friends vomited and had a lot of anxiety (the opposite of what it was supposed to do), followed by a short-lived burst of focus. The other friend claimed his focus improved and his talkativeness certainly improved (for about 20 minutes).  He then needed to sleep because he felt groggier than he could explain.

Final Thoughts

While I’d love to give this product more stars, it is a bit expensive for what feels almost like a gamble in terms of side effects.  I had a good experience, but the two friends who tried the product with me, had miserable experiences. All of us noticed at least a couple benefits, but it would appear the Jubi formula is a bit too complicated and adverse effects are more likely than other products with similar formulae.

And then there’s also the fact the company went out of business and cannot provide any support or new sales.

Club13 Kratom Review

Reviewing Horn Kratom Cap by Club13 Kratom

Product: Club13 Horn Kratom (10 caps)

Manufacturer/Vendor: Club13 Kratom

Website: https://club13.com/

Cost: $9.99

Fat Sam’s Legal High Rating

General Product Info

Club13 Kratom comes in a few different sized containers. The one I purchased is a smaller container that holds 10 capsules. While there were many different types, I purchased a standard “Horn” variety. They are rather large capsules, each one containing almost one gram of powder. This is not an extracted product. There is very little information about dosage on the label.

I purchased Club13 Kratom from a headshop while on vacation in Las Vegas. The place was more like a smoke shop or convenience store, but I cannot resist trying a new Kratom brand. I still have yet to award a Kratom brand a 5 star rating, as there are many better things out there than Kratom.  However, I have tried so many different Kratom products that I feel I have a grasp for the entire industry.

Product Administration

No dosing information or supplement facts are on the product label. However, the label did contain a disclaimer which advised not to interact with the product if pregnant, nursing, or taking medication. It also states it is not safe for minors. I decided 1 cap every 15 minutes until I felt the Kratom kick in would be reasonable. I took a total of 4 capsules, over the course of 1 hour. I consumed a Caesar salad and slice of pizza along with a bit of watermelon juice before I consumed the first capsule.

Product Effects

I felt the onset of the Kratom about an hour after taking the first pill, almost immediately after I took the fourth pill. I got a bit of the normal, uplifting feelings of Kratom, and a bit more energy. Unfortunately, however, these positive effects were rather short-lived and only lasted about 20 or 30 minutes. It is worth mentioning that I did not experience any negative side effects.

Final Thoughts

Club13 Kratom suggests the product is for “botanical use only.”  This is probably their attempt to avoid liability for Kratom consumption. It is also a tough industry to be in. For example, Kratom manufacturers and distributors have a really tough time maintaining a method for credit card processing. That said, I did give the product a legitimate attempt to be my new favorite Kratom product, but I am just not feeling it. It costs too much for too little and the capsules are so large they are undesirable to consume. The onset takes too long (maybe just due to the gelcap) and the Horn variety was too weak for me to be impressed. Still, the product is legit and did provide some effect, therefore earning a 2 Star Fat Sammy Review.

Chief Kratom Shot Review

Chief Kratom Extract Shot Review

Product: Chief Kratom 12 ml Kratom Extract Liquid Shot

Manufacturer/Vendor: CK Enterprises, Los Angeles, CA

Website: https://chiefkratom.com/product/

Cost: $17.99

Fat Sam’s Legal High Rating

General Product Info

I purchased my Chief Kratom Liquid Extract Shot from a headshop while visiting my cousin in Kentucky. The shop did not sell any other liquid kratom products, nor did it sell any other Chief Kratom products. It was a little expensive, but I had not seen a shot that size besides the O.P.M.s liquid kratom shots, and I was curious as to how potent it would be. This product says it is made in the USA, it comes in 12 ml plastic bottles, which are tiny. They remind me of miniature energy shot containers. It is worth nothing that these shots are not 100 percent pure extract. They are more than half an extract, and then presumably layered with normal mitragynine (or normal powdered kratom).

Product Administration

Chief Kratom states on the label that this product is for botanical use only, not for sale to minors, and that they assume no liability for the misuse of the product. Since there was no instruction set or supplement facts, Fat Sammy chose to dive full-in and drink the entire contents of the container at one time. The only thing that I had to eat before I consumed this shot was a bacon cheeseburger from Wendy’s and a small coke.

Product Effects

Within about 20 minutes I felt the onset of Chief Kratom Liquid Shot. I felt motivated, had energy, and was able to get some errands done which I had previously been putting off. I then felt like doing something fun. I decided to shoot a little pool. Although the potency had greatly diminished, I was still feeling it a little bit about 2 hours after the shot.

Final Thoughts

Although I have yet to find a Kratom product which will compete with the other types of products I review, I can firmly give Chief Kratom Liquid Extract Shot a solid 4 out of 5 Fat Sammy Review. The guys at Chief Kratom have a great product here, and their formula is effective. I would definitely warn people against taking the entire shot at once, it would be a bit much and likely unpleasant. The only real downside is the price, as it costs so much for such a small portion. Ultimately each of the shots is only good for one experience, for one person.

Additionally, there was a sort of wax-like gunk that was left behind at the bottom of the container when I was through with the shot. It almost looked like earwax. That was a bit of a turn off and I wonder what it could be, however, the experience was like most good Kratom products, so my worry is limited.
