I'm brand new to kava and am still suffering from RT but I'm dedicated
I've had a few tastes of what it can be like but yet to break through.
Looking forward to it though.
So glad to have found this site, all the vendors I've bought from have been class acts,
So true. I didn't believe in RT before, but now im starting to change my viewpoint on it. What puzzles me though is that there is no record of RT in ancient pacific culture.So after my first week of kava enlightenment I've very happily gone from a work hard, play hard booze drinker to a work hard, "take my relaxation seriously" kava drinker and I feel all the better for it.
The best part is I feel the journey has only just begun.
RT must make this an insanely difficult industry to take on. A week ago even two tablespoons of Gourmet Hawaiian Kavas instant was doing very little. Now a teaspoon is euphoric bliss.
It must be horrible to sell to someone and get complaints that it doesn't work. The only thing they can say is "yeah, that's normal, you just have to buy lots more".
Plus, from what I've read it takes 5 years to grow. Not an easy business at all.
I appreciate all your hard work in the face of adversity chaps.
Very much.
Yes it is true that at a year and a half you will get kava that is less in kavalactones and less yield, these pictures will help you understand it.So true. I didn't believe in RT before, but now im starting to change my viewpoint on it. What puzzles me though is that there is no record of RT in ancient pacific culture.
On another note, according to kava.com , some farmers harvest their krops after a year and a half. I guess the drawback with that is slightly lower kavalactone content and less yield. Can @Gourmet Hawaiian Kava back me up on this?
I fall in the category of I have nothing against weed but it too often caused anxiety instead of chill in me, plus yeah drug tests and all that jazz. That is why kava is my perfect medicine and my perfect recreation juice. It felt awesome when my friend grabbed my label and stuck in on his bass guitar case and another musician friend took one and other friends wanted a label. Not in an advertising my root but advertising kava in general. My hippy friends even brought up an idea I had in the back of my mind for a while. They said why don't you make like a traveling kava cart for music festivals and farmers markets. Yes the word is getting out there in my neck of the woods at least. It was a true pleasure manning my kava station and handing shells to old friends. Most drank it straight, for the ladies I either squirted a little key lime juice or some liquid concentrate orange Tang in the shell and stirred it up. Just one of those great nights surrounded by good people, good music, and lots and lots of kava.@Squanch72, great post and it bodes well for the future of kava ... one shell at a time. You get 3 guys interested, they get three more guys, 2 guys move to another city, they get it going there and so on. Kava is not an overnight sensation but it will win the race like the turtoise. FYI, I know a lot of guys that prefer kava over weed for many reasons: Weed too strong, drug testing, can't work stoned, and the list goes on. Kava is just the right amount of "stoned" in my opinion and just enough to make your day better and help you sleep better and without impairing your 5 senses.
Thanks brother. Hoping to get some more pics of the crowd since I was busy kneading and shelling all night. Hope I am not hijacking this thread too much.@Squanch72, you are a true ambassador for kava. Keep up the good work.
That's a second documented Squanch sighting in less than 3 monthsThanks brother. Hoping to get some more pics of the crowd since I was busy kneading and shelling all night. Hope I am not hijacking this thread too much.
Squanch sighting.
