Kava Chameleon
Newbie
I desperately want to achieve good results with kava but I think I'm at the point of giving up now. Here's an outline of my history of kava consumpion:
Kona Kava 500g: Bought a bag of this about 2 years ago and got nothing from it apart from nausea. I gave up on kava for almost a year after this, until I read at the kava lounge that Kona is crappy kava, then I decided to give kava another go.
Over the last year or so, I've had the following:
Melo Melo - BKH 500g
Real Kava - Instant Kava 100g
Kava Cola - Global Kava Exports 24 pack
Kava Candies - 50+ Packs
Vanuatu 3 - KBR 1 pound
Quick Kava Instant - Global Kava Exports 250g
Tongan Pride - KBR 1 pound
Fiji Waka - KBR 1 pound
Paradise Kava - Co2 Extract 60g
The only time I've really felt something was after about a month of consuming kava ~4 times a week, I finally got a proper buzz after drinking 4 bottles of kava cola followed by 4 tablespoons of Van 3 (although this wonderful feeling only lasted maybe 15 minutes!). The following day I got another wonderful euphoric feeling from taking a few grammes of Paradise Co2 extract all on it's own, but since then I've had no experience like that again. I've even upped my dosage to 6 tablespoons of root powder and all I ever get is some mild sedation (if I'm lucky) that is gone after half an hour. The only thing that consistently does anything for me is the Co2 extract, but only once was that ever really truly great.
So basically I've had two memorable experiences (one about 15 mins, the other about an hour) from all that consumption. I'm very disappointed and frustrated to say the least. My question is, are some people simply immune to the full effects of kava?
