Hey mate, happy to try and help always.
While it is fresh, I really wanted to report on my interesting and very telling experience I have had this evening with kava.
I started with a double Aluball, 26 grams total, OFA's Tongan kava.
It is nice kava actually. Quite strong. But very heady. Anyway, 26 grams down- I really wasn't enjoying the effects. I felt quite off in fact, restless, unsettled.
A number of kava drinkers have some troublemwith purely heady strains not agreeing with them essentially. They pefer certain heavy kavas.
So tonight, I decided, let me test out this little experiment on my own.
I prepped 25 grams more of a lovely heavy Fijian Kadavu.
After this lovely heavy Kadavu, quite sort of hypnotic- 51 grams total. I was almost fully unaware of feeling uncomfortable, restless, disatisfied or negative. The beautiful, blissful, higher consciousness to me, was at the forefront.
I was feeling good, comfortable and relaxed.
Maybe I need to START with the Heavy Fijian, then a heady one maybe.
But I was actually thinking of your thread and inquiry here, to try and mote objectively test out this principle, of the sort of no-man's land to push though at times.
26 grams of the very heady Tongan had me feeling not right.
Add in 25 grams Fijian Kadavu, and I have had a really wonderful night and sense of wellbeing.
So I really think possibly you may be underdosing to reach this place?
I don't mean to patronize. The right kava, right order, right time.
Have you tried the Fijian Kadavu? Mine tonight was from an open Kavadepot bag. Lovely kava.
But soon I will open a big bag of Kadavu from the fantastic newish here,
@Artofkava , both really lovely guy to engage with, super top delibery service IME, and highestcquality kavas too.
Last comment again- if nothing else, apart from upping dose a good bit to crack through the threshold, from Kava's no man land, maybe keep trying different kavas.
I drank daily for the last year, I have a good variety of mixed cultivars here.
But I'm still not sure which I like best lol! Although, I am drawn to some moreso. Others not at all.
Anyway, that was the result of my fairly, objectively conducted experment tonight. Having cottoned onto this phenomena already, it was like a rerun
@Cuzzie and literally transported me quickly from the restlesx, double aluball 26 gram Heady tongan feeling, to that beautiful kava bliss and total relaxation, sense of wellbeing.
Interesting phenomena to me. Most psychoactive "items" lol, seemed the best word, don't work this way, except psychedellics can of course, by underdosing.
But most psychoactive items do not have a reverse tolerance factor for any.
I really hope to get to the bottom of this phenomena of a certain dosage theshold, to go from unease to bliss.
Please keep us updated on your ongoing experience and thanksva lot for been doing that already.
