Got some friends together. The two guys are new to kava and didn't even need any sweeteners or creamer. Powered through the Marco b*tch slap blend with no problems. Troopers for newbies! It was a great time. We have to do indoor circles at least until October because the hell fire of the desert...

Now that I have a Tanoa, I'm interested in knowing more about the magimagi rope that is braided with the white egg cowrie shells. What's the meaning of it? Is it ok to make my own or would this be considered disrespectful? Here is a museum link for reference...

Kava has a history of being the social lubricant to discussing difficult problems. I'd like to use this thread to post material one can read while drinking shells that works towards learning about gender issues. I follow r/menslib and I think this is a good start: Do you have something...

Kava Mama recently brought up that kava can help women in menopause due to the reduction of cortisol. When I think about how hormones are inversely related, this makes sense to me. When cortisol hormones go up, sex hormones go down which would hypothetically make menopausal symptoms worse. Has...

This is for those who over consume heavy strains like myself, and then have to sing the kava skin song forlornly. ::winkeyz:: Alright so I have recently been compared to vibrating tarantulas shedding their skin. Yes she was consuming products that are not kava when she said this lol. Anywho...

Hey folks, I just found out my local kava bar is trying not to tank. They just opened less than a year ago. They're now offering online sales of their root. They have Vanuatu root, fijian, mellow mellow, borgoru, and tongan if my memory serves me right. It's a husband and wife operation so...

It's actually the ONLY kava bar in Tucson, AZ. They just opened last week. It's run by a couple with a cute baby and kids. Adorable place! I have already spent too much money there. :joyful:

I got drunk on Wednesday. Many stressful changes are going on in my life right now, and I'm doing my best to cope. I ran out of kava and so Wednesday night I was near frantic looking for something for my PTSD and anxiety. I have diazepam for my vertigo that I could've used, but really it's not...

I love it when I have time to do the full shebang with my kava session. When my friends texted me today asking what I'm up to, I told them "drinking kava and doing whatever makes my little heart happy." I don't get much down time, but when I do, it's just glorious and I appreciate and enjoy my...

Take your standard grog made with 2 TBS root and 3 cups of warm water Fill a glass half full of grog 30% decaffeinated premade chai tea 20% almond milk Drink it and be happy you've masked the taste. ;-) I haven't tried this myself, but the local flavor pansies have created this recently and...

So! I have a friend who gets styes regularly. He drinks kava only once every week or two. He also takes cordyceps and is convinced they are the culprit. I also have a stye problem now. I think mine is from dehydration in general and wintertime. So I'm curious if anyone else takes cordyceps and...

Hi there. I plan to quit smoking and use vape entirely beginning Sunday afternoon. I'm wondering if kava will make me want to smoke more much like alcohol does, or if I can just by with the vape. Do I need to cut way back on kava to be successful with my quit program, or would it be more...

Came across this and it made me smile. Looks like a lovely time. Fiji is on my bucket list.

I'm going to ressurect this thread. I was reading under the 'kava essentials' tab and it said all questions should go here. I'm curious about the ibuprofen. It said that kava changes how it's processed in the body but I don't fully understand. Help please. I was reading in this area...

It was time to replace my crusty old bags. I noticed my grog was giving me more nausea than usual which is usually the indiactor that a fresh bag is required. Anywho, I tried a 100 micron bag for the first time from the Go Nuts brand and really like it! My grog is just as strong, but far less...

I don't understand this kava at all. Maybe I just haven't 'learned' this one yet or it's just not for my particular chemistry. I would likely only recommend my light weight friends try it if they find the waka too heavy. The waka works far better for me.

So this kava is an interesting one. If I'm at home relaxing, it helps me get to bed on time. However, if I push through the sedation of the kava and go out and socialize it's really a lot of fun! The first couple of times I socialized on this kava I was worried I would feel too tired, but that...

The first 2-3 times I had this kava, I way over did it and ended up delightfully cross eyed and goofy. It was fun. This one is a heavy hitter and I definitely wouldn't use this as an everyday kava, but it is so nice for special occasions. I would probably buy this for someone if I really wanted...

I just started vape and can't taste anything when drinking kava! Is there any way around this?Do I need a very strong flavor for my kava sessions? What flavors do you enjoy while drinking kava? What online vape liquid store would you recommend for good prices and quality?

In the name of giving my poor bladder a break, I’ve begun mixing my grog stronger. I know there is still some diuretic effects from kava no matter what, but chugging all that liquid is a hassle! So today I’m experimenting with 1/3 cup of root to 2 cups of water traditionally prepared. I like it...
