Kind of ridiculous really. Like I said, it is probably THE most benign of all of the drugs I have ever taken in my life. Keep in mind I have tried over 40 drugs from hardcore opioids and amphetamines to psychedelics to Cannabis to alcohol. None of them is as cozy and safe as Kava. What a shame for my British friends.
i just started drinking kava, i love it, it's absolutely amazing, especially with pot, it feels soooo mellowing
Apparently it's very nice as long as your dose of kavalactones is high enough. But also apparently you shouldn't mix it with other drugs and stuff (inc meds) because it inhibits some liver enzymes and so the mix could do you a lot of harm (supposedly it can be fatal).
i heard it has reverse tolerance, which means the more you drink over time the stronger the effect. know anything about it? i drink the tea often.
i bought a small bottle of kava tincture from whole foods. i felt a little bit but not much. I did the math and the dosage in the whole bottle wasn't that much, and people take much higher doses to really feel it. i hear that the kava paste is the best.
KAVA Mild euphoria Sedation Relaxation of muscles and mind Clear thinking; opening of mind Strong anxiolytic effect (studies show as on par with that of benzodiazapines) Mood lifting and mellowing effects Inebriation, usually without serious mental clouding and coordination problems Very mild visual effects (colors more vivid, slight surface rippling, visual snow, double vision) -not incredibly common Talkative and sociable behavior (similar to that of mild alcohol intoxication) Numbing of tongue, lips, and throat Analgesia
