How does one "Toss and Wash"?

I am a newbie to the methods except for traditional. I've looked for methods of toss and wash but have only came up with a youtube video of a guy with K@ and him doing a toss and wash with K@.

How does one properly "Toss and Wash"?

If I were to toss and wash, how long on average will it take before I start to feel the effects?
I know that 2/3 of a cup of koniak kava for traditional method with 3 cups of soy milk takes 15 minutes before the effects show up.

*Note*: I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask the question, but I will post this here.

I use other plants/drugs, Including the K one that Is blanked out here at the forums.

You do just as It sounds. Toss some powder In your mouth, and wash It down with a drink. I'm assuming It would be the same with Kava.

I will be personally sticking with traditional prep (cold water, kneading).

Toss and wash means you take regular kava powder and drink with it WITHOUT straining. So you dump the kava in water, stir, and gulp. And so you end up getting a lot of extra stuff that may or may not be bad for you. Doing Micronized Kava is a form of toss and wash. The difference is that the bad fibers (Makas) have been removed from the Kava. At least they are removed if you bought from GHK. Some people even strain the Micronized because they cannot handle any extra fiber. Also, Micronized is stronger per pound because it is pure since the extraneous fibers have been removed.

I'll let someone else explain all the chemicals you may or may not be ingesting by tossing and washing Kava Powder.

I take a tablespoon of powdered kava and stir it up with as little hot water as possible from the faucet, sometimes mixing in a package of some kind of sweetener, and down the whole thing. It helps to have some kind of cough drop, candy, or whatever to get the taste out of your mouth.

This can't be emphasized enough. A piece of stride spearmint gum was what kept me from expelling the contents of what I just drank quite a number of times.

Y’all doing it the nastiest way possible. I never taste anything. Take it like you would a bc. Get you a liquid a spoon, pour liquid into mouth toss back head, pour k into liquid in back of mouth and swallow- immediately follow with more liquid. I never taste anything.

I did this until I noticed changes in my bowels. Give cheesecloth a try please see if it's good for you. It's smooth if you've been t&w.

It's nice to meet you Mindy B, Bula.

Here are the correct steps:
(1) Draw a pentagram on the floor (tape, marker, blood etc.)
(2) Place a lit candle at all five corners - when lighting each candle repeat "I will not puke"
(3) Place large tanoa in the middle of the pentagram
(4) Sit in front of large tanoa, scoop 1 TBS of medium grind into your mouth and chase with the holy water. Repeat "I will not puke" three more times.
(5) Puke into Tanoa
(6) Freeze said puke for future mongrel grog

You could always try a 200 -300 micron paint strainer and save yourself a lot of stomach problems. It will allow a lot more fiber to pass through keeping the big stuff behind.
