absolutely, this is how ive come to enjoy my kava. When i first started kava i liked a strong brew,vwhich i drank rather quickly. Now having hung out with the Tongans at my Kava bar(s) of choice i really see that kava, at least for them is to be drank all night, and the brew is quite "weak" by my prior standards.. They also space their shells out quite a bit, again why a session usually lasts 3 plus hours. Ive found drinking it this way the peak is much longer and i can relax into it, rather than the quick 15 minute high i used to get followed by more intense sedation. low and slow is my recommendation
