Kava

I tried kava a few years ago, and it took way too much to get very little effect. I just tried it again today from a sample I got. It was vanuatu kava root, not extract, and supposed to be really good. I made a brew with about 10 grams. I must say the buzz is very nice. it's relaxing and slightly euphoric and somewhat arousing. The taste is very horrible to get down. Especially since I didn't filter anything out (to not waste it). Does anyone have experience with kava? If you haven't tried it, I recommend it. If you know a lot about it, wheres the best place to get it, and whats the best method for consumption for you? I'm going to try the blender with milk and coffee creamer tomorrow.

The buzz beats the hell out of alcohol thats for sure. why the fuck is alcohol the main drug around here?

I had some kava from Jamaica that was decent. It just seemed to be a shitty tasting alternative to unisom. I'm not sure if it was extract or what, but it was a ground brown powder. I've never really had any thread worthy experiences with it. I would love to try something with more profound effects but I'd have to try it before I buy it. I'm interested in this root you speak of.

I heard jamaica kava is substantially weaker than vanuatu kratom. when my kilo comes in i could send a sample your way if you want. this isn't brown... and has chunks in it i had to grind it up finer with a coffee grinder. seems fresh because it's not very dry and has a potent odor.

I didn't take it to get completely smashed or anything. It is very noticeable though. And I'm enjoying it. Definitely potentiates weed good

but omg the taste.......

Do find that the Kava burps are worth feeling? The Jamaican stuff I had was really subtle and the taste just ruined it for me.

My buddy was the actual owner of the Jamaican Kava, so I my sampling was based on his preparation. I didn't get the chance to tinker with it. Before that I had tried a few brands of the capsules and tea blends with very little effect.

Do you have to actually ingest plant material like Kratom? (Ours was thick with solids) or can you make a nice tea with it? I drink a lot of chrysanthemum tea which may dilute some of the fowl taste if mixed.

I have a great deal of experience with it - loved it actually. It wasn't that hard to encapuslate enough powder if I got the good stuff, the kind I can no longer remember unfortunately, you can get quite a buzz from it and it seems to last a long time as well - no the taste is not so good but no worse than some of the other things we eat in order to cop a buzz. Imagine telling someone that if you could bear the taste, you could get a nice high from this awful tasting stuff called etanol. There is a company that makes a chocolate flavored powder that works quite well if you are willing to spend the money.


I quit when my then girlfriend became very allergic to the stuff. She was all right for many months and then one day we took some and her head simply grew, swelled, her cheeks got fat, her lips, her ears, and her eyes sunk back into this pumpkin characature of a once very pretty woman. I was very frightened and we went to the doc. He gave her some antihistamines and it went away but we didn't really connect it to Kava. The next time - we did. I don't like to indulge in things that my now wife can't have as well so no more kava.

I lived in Hawaii for 5 years (Big I, Molokai'i, & Maui) and would highly rec finding someone from the Islands online that can send you straight up Roots.
Extremely calming in the head And body, mouth numbing too, just Wonderful. You can chew on the root or make a tea from it.
Hawaiian Roots, cuz. Get some.
