    I Love Kava Friday Ahhhhhh, that day.

    Bula! Mar 19 6am - little snow action, caught the plow! P.S. the window is cleaner than it looks, it is two panes of glass with air in the middle and a stain on the inside.

    News Article Why the buzz for kava is growing, and how The Calmer Co. is capitalising - Stockhead

    Ha Ha! The Yangonin! So while it may be 175 times less potent by weight than D9 THC on the CB1 receptor, let's say I'm brewing up 40grams of kava which has 1% yangonin in it. 1% of 40,000mg is 400mg. Then, I am yielding how much KL%? Well, definitely more than one, because of this logic. Even...

    Kava Drinking Age in Va: 18+ vs. 21+

    I think 18 is better than 21 for kava. An age requirement of 21 would be discouraging, especially considering a main intention of drinking kava is to establish a social drink routine or anxiety/pain relief routine which does not revolve around alcohol (I believe). It's also got a high safety...

    I Love Kava Friday Another one down!

    Bula! Today is my Friday. I will receive kava as early as tomorrow! I do have a busy crazy work day to powerblast through first. @BourbonMac , honestly, yeah, WebMD isn't the tell-all know-all center of information when it comes to kava. There are cases of adverse advent reports for kava...

    Squanch is some of my favorite kava! The bags tend to do that.

    I Love Kava Friday FRIDAY!!!

    Where is everyhody? Usually the thread is jammmm packed on a Friday! I sucked down the last of the fresh dry Palarasul. I poured bubbling water on it (190F, 88C) and let it soak while I cleaned the bathroom and got laundry started. Then, I used gloves to squeeze for five minutes, saving the mash...

    I Love Kava Friday FRIDAY!!!

    Love it Kapm! I celebrate with Palarasul. I poured blazing hot water on 1/4 cup of roots and squeezed like a stress ball for three minutes. My hands were stripped like leather. It made two four ounce shells and I drank one just now. Bula! Malok! I ordered today, (2LB) of Fiji Vanua's Vanuatu...

    Happy New Year

    Steak and Palarasul! Excellent! Palarasaul is interesting, much like Palasa, a subtle difference. Low in all kavalactones except kavain and dihydrokavain. After about three hours of drinking this stuff and a nice greasy steak, I'm feeling pretty grateful for it all.

    Kavaclub: Working to Become Virginia's First Successful Kava Bar

    Kava can be mixed in water, then strained, and considered a food by this definition, but what about coconut water being used for brewing instead of water? Does the law permit having separately made fresh squeezed juices, milks, coconut oils/sunflower letchins on the side that you can add to the...

    Constipation is a thing

    Yeah interesting! I have a couple thoughts on this. Kava usually makes me go like I had fiber, sugar, coffee and water all in one. However, if kava constipated you, I think the dehydration plays a role in that. If water makes you form poops and your body's out of water, guess what, no poop...

    Hitting it hard lately

    Hmmm... I'm glad you posted. I'm not a stranger to waking up anxious. For me it's not that the kava has withdrawaled, rather, that I was going to wake up and be anxious anyway regardless of intake. It's just part of life, part of my process. Bula!

    Weird Itchy Bug Bites Feeling? Possibly Kava?

    Are you sure you can't find a flea? I had a few bites this year and it was in the same spot mostly, concentrated halfway between knee and ankle. Those little buggers!

    I Love Kava Friday Another one down!

    I'm fascinated with yangonin. From looking at data sheets and science studies I have found yangonin to agonise cannabinoid receptors and has a similar dose amount as thc in that just a milligram or two of yangonin is a lot compared to none and what physiological effects it carries at these 'low'...

    I Love Kava Friday The very last Friday of 2022

    To me, when a vendor replies to a review is most often a positive sign that their kava is valuable and worth buying. Especially if it is to say, "Heey what are you talking about? Your experience is not like mine, what differences are we noticing?" Finally, around here, there are many types of...

    I Love Kava Friday The 13th, Even!

    Just ordered a pound of Squanch! Used a debit card instead of a money order for the first time since about May. Let's hope it gets home to me as soon as possible as Kava is a part of my routine that I do not like to miss!

    I Love Kava Friday The 13th, Even!

    False fall? It was 25F here last night with thick sheet-frost painting all the glass windows... Summer here, we had a true Indian Summer, record highs in October. Then it just stopped, five inches of cold rain and days started maxing out in the forties...go figure, the warmer temps were an...

    I Love Kava Friday Well well well.

    Bula! We had our first frost of the season this morning, BRRRR, 31F...I'm puzzled why my new toy registers an error when I'm using it to probe a cup of coffee...It measures "total dissolved solids" and "electroconductivity" specifically dealing with negatively charged ions, and it gives a great...
