This is my first post so, hi everyone.

Tonight I have tried traditional prep for the first time using KWKs Samoan Ava. I used 6-7 tbsp in about one liter or so of water with a bit of light cream added to increase lipid extraction. I drank the mixture of the course of the last hour and fifteen minutes in three portions and am experiencing a very noticable effect. After the first portion, a subtle yet very uplifting relaxation came over my mind. After about twenty minutes I consumed the second portion and experienced some body heaviness, and to my surprise, anxiety that was directly tied to several situations in my life. In a way I was glad to see that kava is not something that will numb me completely as this is not what I'm looking for. After the third portion, about 40 minutes later, I have begun to experience more pronounced heaviness in the body but also a deeper relaxation and alleviation of the previously mentioned anxieties. Overall I am very pleased with this as I have read about reverse tolerance and was prepared to spend more time before achieving such a pronounced effect. In any case I will be consuming more kava in the future.

Another interesting fact, I just so happened to have visited Samoa many years ago (I live in the northeastern United States) and remember them drinking kava while I was there, but did not partake as I was only twelve. This is why I ordered this particular strain to try as my first kava.

Anyways, this forum has been so full of information and I am very happy that it is here, and hope to connect with some of you in the future.

Sorry for rambling a bit, I really am feeling it more than expected.

Bula!

Now I'm enjoying some KWK pouni ono this morning, and I don't know if it's the difference in strains, but I'm getting an even stronger effect. So far very glad I decided to try!
