I brought this up first!
I think a huge future lies in these, and we have barely scratched the surface. Of course, it harks back to my continual tedious discussion about systemic versus immediate effects. The immediate effects of kava, over a few hours with heavy consumption, is immensely pleasurable, or at least it bloody well should be!
But the systemic effects are much more tremendous and powerful, and to achieve them you can consume regular low doses that have (seemingly) no immediate effects whatsoever, so with people's inherent present focus bias, they rarely see or look for these more profound systemic effects, except as a curious set of side effects. I would argue these are the effects of kava, and that the pleasant effects immediately after consuming a large quantity is the side effects. We may be missing the forest for the trees here.
The entourage effects are a similar thing, because we don't get many entourage effects, because we tend to specifically rule out doing things that would give them to us, we miss out.
I think this perhaps has the greatest impact on newbies, who obsess on the immediate effects and ignore or do not know about the systemic effects.
I mean, shit, I went from obese to normal weight in 8 months drinking kava, lost enough weight so when I developed cancer, my lower weight made me a candidate for surgery which I would not have been able to have otherwise, possibly saving my life. I sleep 8 hours every night unless I want and choose not to, thanks to kava and I have more and better rem sleep, which makes the slep more refreshing, renewing and effective. Also, kava got me to drop a 40 year alcohol habit ( addiction? Who knows) with zero effort. All this while showing me a good time.
Anyway, just wanted to get people thinking about entourage effects. Context, prep, attitude, and a wider range o f kavalactones. Looking at the bigger picture. Because, as I always say, immediate effects are more hit or mis, will you get krunk, get the euphoria, get sleepy, tamp down your anxiety for a few hours? The systemic effects are much more powerful, life-altering or improving, and more profound and finally, more reliable. Immediate effects only work if you have just shelled but systemic effects carry over days or even weeks after you last drank kava. If you feed the permakrunk, it can feed you. And the systemic effects are much ess hit and miss, in part I believe because you have built up inside you an entourage effect, made possible cumulatively, and through aggregation, which cannot be achieved in a single or atomized sesh.
