    Minimizing liquid volume but maximizing extraction?

    I'll try that method and think about buying some instant kava. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Minimizing liquid volume but maximizing extraction?

    I have a really sensitive stomach as far as nausea goes, I live with some amount of nausea (usually mild but still...) for what seems like most of my waking hours in life. One of the things that, unsurprisingly, sets it off is a large amount of liquid at once. You can imagine with something that...

    Powdered Kava Review Premium Grade Waka

    I ordered 3 pounds of Premium Waka from BFK because I was looking for a good deal on some decent kava, and was suggested BFK. I'm gonna preface my reviews from now on by stating that I personally never have noticed a huge difference in kava effects between different origins, cuts (as in...

    Kava Beverage Review Kava Concentrate

    I bought the KWK Guava concentrate with my latest purchase of medium grind root because I've always wanted to try it but never felt like buying it just on its own, so adding a bottle to the order of house blend root worked out well for me. The flavor is nice, though you can definitely still...

    Is anyone aware of any laws banning kava in the Caribbean?

    I'm in the very early stages of planning a trip to the Caribbean in the fall, right now the top candidate is Trinidad & Tobago, I was looking at Grenada but flights are either rare and have super long layovers (think up to multiple days) or very expensive if you want a more direct flight so...

    For those of you who've developed a tolerance, how long of a break did you take to reset/lower it?

    Good news, I think this is day 4 or 5 off of kava, decided to try Cactus Lawena again today. Aluballed (2 balls) the hell out of it and it's hitting pretty hard again.

    For those of you who've developed a tolerance, how long of a break did you take to reset/lower it?

    I've had my oldest bags about 2 months now, the newer stuff from Cactus only a couple weeks. I always make sure they're sealed fully after squeezing out all of the air that I can.

    For those of you who've developed a tolerance, how long of a break did you take to reset/lower it?

    I use different kavas all the time, I've tried traditional prep in addition to aluball, no difference. The exact same bag is about 1/2 the potency to me that it used to be, if not less. It's 100% tolerance.

    For those of you who've developed a tolerance, how long of a break did you take to reset/lower it?

    I think I'm getting a bit of a tolerance to kava because 2 or 3 aluballs filled with strong kava is doing very little for me lately, a month ago or so, a single ball in a shaker could knock me on my ass. I haven't used it since Monday but wondering how long I should wait.. 2 days, a week, 3 weeks?

    Melomelo vs Samoa Ava?

    I'm almost out of Samoa Ava, I mixed the last few servings of it with my Loa Waka since I feel the effects are pretty similar and didn't want 2 almost-empty bags laying around. I was very pleased with it, I'd go buy every last bag of it I could if I had the money.

    False positive for morphine?!

    Generally the places that do the quick pee panel are supposed to send samples to a lab for gas chromatography/mass spectrometry to confirm, although I don't believe they have any legal obligation to in most cases.

    Powdered Kava Review Loa Lawena

    I'm on mobile so this will be short and to the point. It's at least as potent as KWK's products I've tried, but a significant bit cheaper. To be honest, I don't notice a huge difference between kavas usually. They all affect me about 90% the same. This kava is maybe a little more heady than the...

    How long does it take Cactus to ship?

    Oddly enough it came today and I never got a shipping notification. Maybe it was in my spam folder and I missed it, or maybe their system has a temporary issue. Works for me though, decent shipping speed.

    How long does it take Cactus to ship?

    Ordered on Saturday or Sunday and still haven't gotten an email, all the other vendors I've bought from ship it out in less than one business day.

    Difference btw THC effects and kava?

    Stories like that are why I'll probably never try THC edibles.

    My vacation Kava didn’t make it to the airport

    It was left at home or the TSA took it? If it's the TSA you should really contact them and report loss/damage to inspected luggage. They have no business taking completely legal supplements from passengers' baggage, hell, they're not even supposed to interfere with illegal drugs, they're...

    Anyone else have trouble resisting taking a nap after kava?

    No matter the cultivar (though I haven't tried THAT many) I always seem to pass out for 10-20 minutes an hour or so after kava, even if it's a fairly small amount. I don't mind it, it's nice to have a little nap, it feels good. It might also be because I don't have any obligations like work or...

    Could kava/alcohol toxicity be overstated, even in the kava community ?

    Anecdotally, I just drank 2 or 3 standard drinks worth of whiskey about 5 hours after drinking a TON of kava (had a rough day), at least 2 or 3x what I normally make, no problems whatsoever. Caucasian, never had any of those alcohol reactions I've heard people speak of without kava either. Not...

    Cool little easter egg of the Marjorie McNeely conservatory in MN

    Wow! What a coincidence to find the person who sent these to the conservatory. That's awesome!
