It's the kalm with kava concentrate drink. KWK uses their own borogu to make the concentrate. I could be incorrect on the strain exactly, but I know for certain they use their own tested roots to make it from.

ooooh, that sounds exciting! I'd like to hear more about these Kavakazies haha
lol, yep. That's my wife. I caught her in the kitchen pouring KWK concentrate over fresh bottled kava. It made me proud.
Here's a link to our Kava Glossary which includes mention of kalmakazies

I didn't get much out of it :-/ I still have one bottle left. I'll try the Kavakazie since alone I wasn't really feeling it. Which is a bummer, i really enjoyed the 'rita taste hah.

You may very well be able to replace the Ativan with Kava. I did. I hated it, I've never really gotten the allure of benzos used "recreationally".
I have gotten a weird sort of anxiety from some crappier, origin unknown kavas, most definitely.
The kava will kick in for anxiety WAY quicker than Ativan, which by the book takes 1.5 to 2 hours from what I've read and sorta remember.
Just don't take the kava on top of the Ativan, in case you're unaware. Really, any gabaergics should not be mixed. I used to take gabapentin for restless legs occasionally. Without thinking, I slobbered up a cup of strong kava roughly 3 hours after the GP, which also takes about 90 min to work. Oops. I had some pretty bad double vision and other nonsense going on.

I put some of that bula instant (I believe they call it green something) in my cart when they had their 15% off sale a little while ago and never pulled the trigger. Thanks for the review.

....and I'm going to go ahead and break with "tradition" and introduce myself on a forum (this one ; ), something I've never, ever done as it struck me as being kinda corny. I've found this one to quite pleasant and at this point, my jerk-ass gauge is at zero here. (Haven't come across a single one yet) Maybe everyone's just a little more relaxed here...
Thanks for the inspiration.

I haven't taken one since I started this more in-depth Kava experience. A couple of times I thought I was headed towards a panic attack but nothing that would necessitate popping a happy pill. The Kava helps me sleep (doesn't hurt I that I Quit drinking booze and smoking) which in turn lowers my anxiety level. And the lingering calm I feel after consuming just lowers the chance of an attack happening altogether. Kava has been a solid decision

My last reply to you for the next five minutes...honest.
Dude. I'm so used to people being complete dicks at every opportunity, I'm kinda blown away by this forum. I agree 100%. I'm waiting for the alarm clock to go off to realize this is all a dream. Sadly, I'm surprised by what should be.

Hah all good homie. No worries here!
I blame the kava
For real, we all came together in the same spirit, and many of those people from the beginning are still around today. Kava is to be shared, and by sharing it we're honoring it. That, and I really feel like every member here is equally important, no matter if you're new or have been drinking kava for decades. I've learned equally as many things from newbies as I have from old timers. Plus, for me, one of the most awesome things I see is new people jumping in and "getting it". Seeing their eyes light up from the veil being pulled down is always a cathartic experience.

Catharsis is right. I'm gonna try to keep this short (brevity is clearly not my strong suit) and not too sappy, but Fushi said what I've been thinking. This is the polar opposite of what I'm used to. All forums, cars, K@ etc had too many assholes. I had this sort of epiphany where I thought "I think I was supposed to be here all along". I got so disgusted by a K@ forum years ago because I felt like I was talking to retarded crack heads (I realize how that sounds).I blame the kava

There is a civility and intelligence here that was apparent instantly. Its a REALLY nice, refreshing change. I try to contribute more than I take, and I am as thorough and as accurate as the internet allows. I don't feel like someone's gonna release the hounds if I ask a question here. It's FANTASTIC. I've certainly never seen a forum founder reply so frequently, if ever. Its very cool of you. Again, thank you, its appreciated.

Hi, and welcome here. I will keep this brief, because it is a rare occasion when I am having to type with one eye closed.
I tried the Kavasociety Borongoru today for the first time. It's potency really surprised me.
And there is an immediate bright mood uplift and relaxed mental feeling.
Damn it's really got me today though, I wasn't expecting it, for me, easily the most potent of KSNZ's great kavas.
Im not saying potency is everything at all, just making that point.
But the Borongoru is both very strong and instant, and pleasant and enjoyable.
I did have 15 grams Ofa's Kava this morning, about 50 grams of the Borongoru. I had to leave 3 quarters of it earlier after the first 3 small, dense shells anhialated me.
I recooped, finished it this evening with a 5 gram instant dose. So I would call that 75 grams worth.
But the Borongoru really has hit me as hard today, itself, as any other kava in house or possibly tried to date.

Potentiation is so real. Accomodating for it definitely pays off.
We keep those people out, lol. But seriously, what kapm said.

I'm guessing the kava is the potentiator, given that it's only a partial gaba agonist. I recall a couple of times waiting for kava induced anxiety to wear off, and having to take a pill to make it go away because it didn't depart on it's own. That was more necessity than accommodation though. Seemed crazy and backwards to me. I always assumed that people took kava with benzos because they didn't have enough pills to "get there".
