    Strange Kava

    I guess I can just say I'm a lucky guy. She does drink kava herself, but there are definitely times I've asked her to knead it for me when she wasn't drinking lol. I mean, she isn't always happy about it lol sometimes she gets annoyed.

    Strange Kava

    A lot of times this happens to me before I've even drank it. I can't tell you how many times I've asked my girlfriend to finish kneading a shell for me while I went to the bathroom.

    Kava Fact of the Day Why we suggest 24 hours between alcohol and kava.

    Yeah I'm wondering if it's an enzyme thing. I try not to drink alcohol without eating something first. I also try to avoid having alcohol and kava within 24 hours of each other, but it has happened a few times. I can definitely tell the rate the BAC increases has a huge effect on the way alcohol...

    Kava Fact of the Day Why we suggest 24 hours between alcohol and kava.

    So I've noticed when I've had a drink later in the day after kava it tends to make me feel an enhanced buzz for ~30 minutes, but then I experience all the negative effects of ethanol more intensely than usual. Then for the rest of the day it's just anxiety and racing thoughts. Wonder what the...

    Powdered Kava Review Palasa

    Solid kava. Seems to hit me with a bit of a heady rush, followed by a very mellow sedation that creeps into the body. I have gone through ~8 oz of this at this point. I agree with some of the comments about the Palarasul from PSL about letting the root soak for a few minutes prior to kneading as...

    Kava Fact of the Day Dihydrokavain (DHK) #2

    I am really enjoying these kavalactones profiles! This is awesome, just sad to think there are only 6 of them.

    Lightest, least-sedating strains?

    That's sounds like a bummer, glad you got through the initial rough phase. I have fortunately never gotten the flu that I know of. I am usually not very prone to viral illness. With corona I did not get very sick and am feeling essentially normal at this point aside from slightly diminished...

    Lightest, least-sedating strains?

    I recommend Kelsi from New Zealand Kava Society it's very heady with very little sedation or body effect for me. Most of my other go to heady kavas have already been mentioned in this thread so you can pretty much go with any of these recommendations and see how they are for you. I almost...

    Covid for Christmas (thank god for kava)

    These all sound good, especially the Scotch pie. Sounds like something I have to try for myself.

    Covid for Christmas (thank god for kava)

    Yeah I'm feeling mostly better. Got lucky with a mild case. Have been drinking electrolytes, water, and tea all day. Also plenty of vitamin d.

    Covid for Christmas (thank god for kava)

    Well, looks like I'll be quarantined for Christmas. Originally planned to go to my parent's house but now will be staying home. Just wanna say I'm super grateful that I have kava (I've been drinking more of it than ever before lol) and glad I have these forums to get a little bit of connection...

    I just made myself a shell as well. BKH Melo Melo. I'm gonna lay down and attempt a bit more sleep myself, however.

    Fiji Vanua Old Roots and a question

    I think I am more strongly effected in the body while sitting down but when I'm doing normal life activities I can feel the heady effects more.

    Most sessions not enjoyable - anyone else have the same experience?

    I still have to choose the right kava. And I mean sometimes it doesn't hit me quite as nicely as I'd like but I no longer get hangovers or unbearably bad effects.

    Most sessions not enjoyable - anyone else have the same experience?

    I went through a period like this. It took a long time for me to not get the negative effects. Not sure why I kept at it but I did. For a long time I would only drink on occasion with the awareness that I'd feel pretty bad the next day. Now I drink it all the time and it's always great. I think...

    Kavain is glycine antagonist but way weaker than strychnine

    It has a higher binding affinity than strychnine but is a only partial agonist or something like that?

    Kava moreish?

    I definitely drive back the shells but honestly I love it and it doesn't have a negative impact on my life so I don't care.
