    Rancid kava

    Just wondering if anyone else has had a bag of medium grind stashed away so long it turned rancid? I was digging through the museum section of my kava stash, about to take my chances with some old root that was never fully consumed or disposed of when one of the bags (Paradise Hawaiian from...

    Instant Kava Review Hiwa

    This recent batch of Hiwa was really good. Not a lot of headiness but that's to be expected with this cultivar. What was remarkable is the level of anxiety relief and muscle relaxation I experienced shortly after each serving -- truly a gentle medicinal feel. Most impressive was the...

    Powdered Kava Review The Kava Society - Pacific Elixir

    The Pacific Elixir blend from the Kava Society New Zealand has been around for some time and I've never tried it until just recently. The batch I got was from last month so it will likely be slightly different than the one currently in stock. This kava is very fresh with only a matter of weeks...

    Vendor rankings and reviews on other social media platforms

    I believe that you are keeping the platform open to all opinions and I'm glad for that. It just seems like people who disagree with or question the movement rarely challenge or post anymore. That reddit sub on the other hand... I don't know how you could look at it and not think there is...

    Why didn't tudei just disappear without any testing?

    This is exactly what I've not liked about the noble only movement (can't call it pro noble since they want every product not sold by their group of vendors eradicated from the market). If consumers were always repulsed by "low quality tudei", the vendors selling it wouldn't make money. I don't...

    Is kava getting weaker?

    Well, I'm in my mid 30's now, so maybe I am getting old... I don't think that's it though since I've gone back to some 4 year old kava that's pretty stale at this point and it felt very good (I was going to trash it a while back but have now finished the bag : / ). I'm a heavy user and buy a...

    Pouni Ono dosage

    I bought some a good amount of Pouni Ono micronized earlier in the spring and haven't really noticed much effects from it. I've always seen great reviews for it... do you guys find that you have to use more of it than some other micros? I've tried 2x 2Tbsp doses in less than an hour and could...

    Dry kava lifespan

    Anyone have experience with really old kava? Normally I don't go any further than 12 or 18 months back but I have an unopened bag that I found from 2.5 years ago... I also found a bag of previously opened Paradise "Premium Hawaiian" kava. Normally I would throw that out but I remember it...

    Increased kava tolerance with long term use?

    Have any other long term, high dosage users noticed this? The talk is always around reverse tolerance. I never really experienced that but after using kava for an extended time without many breaks (about a year), I've noticed that all kava seems kind of weak. The initial rush is very short...

    Micronized Boroguru - little to no effects

    Just wondering if anyone with experience with the micronized boroguru could offer any thoughts or suggestions. I have used the micronized moi, mahakea, nene, papa kea before. I normally feel results from all at 2Tbsp+. I used 4Tbsp of the boroguru in an hour time period and really did not...

    Kava Hangovers

    I am new to this site but am so far very impressed with the content and information provided by the members. I looked for a thread on this subject but haven't found one dedicated to it.... I have used Kava for a couple of years but apparently have only used weak sources. Thanks to this...
