If only there was one among us who could be considered a connoisseur of kavalactones. One who is always ready to risk life and liver in the pursuit of the next melt-into-your-couch experience.Someone should be the guinea pig and try it out.
Who will step forth and put his liver where his mouth is? Is there such a man here?

I have heard tell of such a man. His name is impossible to type.If only there was one among us who could be considered a connoisseur of kavalactones. One who is always ready to risk life and liver in the pursuit of the next melt-into-your-couch experience.

Reading this thread prompted me to buy some shell ginger tea. As I believe someone has already mentioned here, it popular in Okinawan cuisine and apparently consumed as a tea as well. I purchased mine from us.ippin.com from the seller "Japanese Tea Shop Yamaneen". The product is called "Gettoucha (Shell Ginger) Tea". I'd post a link but I'm afraid it will get me blocked. Ping me if you would like one.
When I drink it, I feel a sense of calm but I can't say if what I'm experiencing is similar to kava or not since I haven't had it before it. If anyone with kava experience is interested, I would love to hear what you think. The tea form seems very convenient.
Cheers.

"I'm not gonna try it—you try it!"The effects of DDK and DMY on humans are not well understood. In the case of DDK, not understood at all. They are probably sedating, because they are kavalactones. But are they kavain-like, or tudei-like? I have no idea. The thing is this plant is not cultivated as a psychoactive. That is, it does not have the 3000 history of selection by Pacific Islanders that turned wild kava into domesticated kava, selecting the kava with the best effects. It also has lots of other chemicals in it besides kavalactones, that would have who knows what effect on a person. In other words, it might well make you barf. I nominate @sɥɐʞɐs to be our guinea pig.

lol, you take the cake for best photoshops.
