Having trouble deciding wether Green Malay or Green Maeng Da is best suited for you? I got you covered. Green Maeng is my all time favorite strain, while Green Malay is a close second. I’ve been using both for years, and in this post I’m going to explain to you the subtle differences between the two.

Green Malay vs Green Maeng Da Effects

Although Green Malay and Green Maeng Da produce the same combination of effects, they tend to vary with regards to potency.

I’m going to compare every one of their effects and rate them in terms of potency, with 5 being extremely potent and 1 extremely weak. Then, I’ll proceed to name the wide variety of medicinal conditions which cab be treated with both strains.

To get an overview of all the effects and their potency, checkout the table below.

Green Malay vs Green Maeng Da Effects Potency

Relaxation

Green Maeng Da: 4

Green Malay: 4

Both strains have the equal ability to produce relaxation. Please don’t confuse this with sedation. Green Malay and Green Maeng Da do not put you to sleep.

The relaxation is both mental and physical, similar to the feeling you get after meditating or realizing a horrible situation has finally come to an end. Negative thoughts literally dissipate while your muscles relax, allowing you to enjoy the present moment.

Therefore, both strains can be used to treat:

  • Depression
  • Nervousness 
  • Opioid addiction
  • Stress
  • Social anxiety
  • Anxiety
  • Muscle tension 

The relaxation can last anywhere from 3-5 hours.

Energy

Green Maeng Da: 4

Green Malay: 3

You may be wondering how you can obtain energy and relaxation at the same time. The energy you get from Green Maeng Da and Green Malay is not like that of caffeine. It’s much more gradual and well balanced, with Green Maeng Da producing slightly more stimulation.

The energy is similar to the way you feel after a good night’s rest. When you wake up in the morning you feel relaxed yet energized. Any level of drowsiness will be eliminated, and you will feel more alert.

As long as you consume the right amount, you will not experience a crash. Use Green Maeng Da or Green Malay for:

  • Pick-me-up
  • Long strenuous tasks
  • Chronic fatigue

The energy lasts roughly 1-3 hours.

Euphoria

Green Maeng Da: 5

Green Malay: 4

Relaxation helps reduce stress and anxiety, but the euphoria you obtain from both strains takes it up a notch. I can best describe it as a surge of optimism that induces self confidence, and explains why people become more social and/or productive.

Green Maeng Da is the king of euphorias. No other kratom strain is better for boosting your mood and changing your state. However, Green Malay doesn’t fall far behind.

The euphoria from both strains can be used for:

  • Anxiety
  • Social Anxiety
  • Inability to focus
  • Lack of motivation
  • Opioid addiction
  • Chronic or temporary stress
  • Mood swings
  • Depression
  • ADHD

Unfortunately, the intense euphoria only lasts about 30 minutes, but the optimism can linger for a couple of hours.

Pain Relief

Green Maeng Da: 4

Green Malay: 4

Although red strains are more frequently used to treat pain, Green Maeng Da and Green Malay’s potency make them equally viable candidates for pain relief.

However, they must be used to treat pain only during the day as they will eradicate drowsiness, and any chances of falling asleep.

The strains’ analgesic properties are effective for a wide variety of symptoms ranging from minor headaches to more severe back pain, such as:

  • Headaches 
  • Migraines 
  • Chemotherapy pain
  • Arthritis 
  • Back pain 
  • Physical trauma 
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Inflammation
  • Osteoporosis
  • Sciatica 
  • Muscle soreness 
  • Body aches

The pain relief produced by both strains can last anywhere from 3-5 hours.

Appetite Suppression

Green Maeng Da: 5

Green Malay: 4

Last but not least, is a lesser known kratom effect, appetite suppression. Green Maeng Da and Green Malay have the ability to reduce food cravings, a very useful benefit for people who live a world surrounded by food.

All strains reduce appetite to a certain degree, but I’ve noticed mood enhancing strains tend to be even more effective. Therefore, Green Maeng Da is the best appetite suppressor, and Green Malay follows closely behind.

If you want to skip a meal a day, definitely try one of these strains. Also, eating less food means spending less on groceries! You can lose weight and save money at the same time.

Both strains can be used to:

  • Lose weight
  • Diet
  • Control Binge Eating Disorders
  • Skip Meals

The appetite suppression lasts about 2-5 hours.

Green Malay vs Green Maeng Da Side Effects

If dosed incorrectly, Green Malay and Green Maeng Da can produce negative side effects. The most common includes a nauseating headache, and in more rare cases, can be coupled with vomiting.

The headache and vomiting are non-fatal, and tend to disappear on their own within a couple of hours. Eat solid food and lay down to ease the headache’s intensity, but wait until the vomiting has gone away before doing so.

People who abuse kratom, new kratom users, and those who accidentally over consume it are much more likely to experience side effects. Highly potent strains also increase the likelihood of experiencing side effects.

However, there is no need to worry. As you can see from this CDC report, very few deaths in the US are kratom related. As long as you dose correctly, you’ll be alright.

If you’re not new to kratom, keep your dose exactly the same, and either reduce or add more according to your experience.

I usually recommend starting with 3 capsules or 2 grams of powder. However, it’s the process of adding or reducing your dose (detailed in the article) which is crucial for new users.

As long as you’re careful with dosage, you will not experience side effects.

You may have noticed other blogs suggestion universal doses for everyone. However, dosages will significantly vary depending on weight, gender, and tolerance.

Conclusion: Which is Best For You?

Okay, so how do you choose between two strains that are practically identical?

If you’re new to kratom, try Green Malay as it’s a bit less potent than Green Maeng Da.

If you want to reduce stress, anxiety, depression, appetite suppression, or need help getting motivated, use Green Maeng Da.

If you need energy for work, especially physical work, use Green Meang Da.

For pain relief, choose either one, as both are great for treating pain.

I hope that helps! Both Green Malay and Green Maeng Da are excellent strains which have the potential to transform you life. Use them correctly, and you’ll find out exactly why.
