Wow. They were frantic about it too. I'd love to know where they got it, and how they know they got "4000mg of kavalactones". .
This post was from 2012, so there's no telling what he actually got.
Yeah, agreed, no way to tell even if what they took was "kavalactones"... I mean, if it was pur extracted kavalactones, they'd have to have access to a lab that can procure the stuff for testing, and based on what they wrote, they don't sound like the kind of person who would be in that kind of environment.
They also stated they were on "Prozac, Wellbutrin, and Abilify...", so... yeah, not a recipe for taking anything else really, except maybe water.
EDIT: Jesus, just read that post to the end, and what a mess... I mean, the compassionate side of me hopes they turned out ok, and the critical/cynic side of me thinks they're most like a whiney hypochondriac with no sense of self preservation or common sense...
On a positive side, I think we have enough data on this forum to dispel the notion that kava is "a drug that puts your life in danger." - except if maybe you were going to snort lines or pure extracted kavain, that might do it, but fortunately only people with certain licenses to test in a lab setting have access to that, and we can reasonably assume they're not idiots.
