Any takers?

I ordered a kg of 30% extract from KD and I have been taking it daily for two weeks straight. The dermopathy is getting crazy. I will include a photo of the skin between my fingers. I’ve probably taken around 200g so far.

I have tried to use kava responsibly for probably five years now but I have trouble getting the right amount and often end up seeing double. I’ve gotten dermopathy every time. Every time I tell myself I’ll be more restrained and I have to some extent but it’s still out of alignment.

Is there anyone out there who would be willing to take the remainder off my hands? Any funds sent my way to offset the loss somewhat would be greatly appreciated. It’s an excellent extract for those who like heavy kavas.

This is another picture. This is the worst I’ve had in just one location. I had it all over my body before. It was like full body dandruff.

This post really doesn’t have anything to do with the supplier and it’s not a review. Anyway, I had to throw it out because I don’t trust myself with it. I think of kava as a fundamentally healthy thing in contrast with alcohol which is fundamentally harmful even though people get away with it.

For me, kava is too much of a good thing and I just can’t use it responsibly. Maybe if I had found these forums 17 years ago or something but it’s too late now. I’m going to have to see if I can stay off of these forums. I’m still glad these forums are here but it’s best for me to stay away.

A warning for those who may be squeamish. I’m going to include a couple photos of my left palm to show where the dermopathy is after five days of abstinence and repeated applications of AmLactin. The lotion I got is the highest in lactic acid at 15%, if I remember correctly. I think it’s pretty nasty looking.

I wish I could have a healthy relationship with kava but after nearly four and a half years I must admit that I routinely abuse it. If kava has a consciousness, I hope it can forgive me. It’s like a love affair that once was wonderful but took a turn for the worse and there’s no turning back.

Kava is one member of a small group among the many things I have developed addictions to that I wish I could use responsibly because there are so many good things about it. I feel some regret that I threw it out instead of asking kind neighbors to hold it for me and give me enough each week for three sessions. People in NA who have surgery and need to take opiates will give the supply to someone else. Maybe that might have worked.

There are also some lovers I’d love to reunite with but I know it wouldn’t work. I visited a girlfriend from college when I was in my thirties and within a few days I was reminded why we separated. I’ve seen couples like that. Two people that I like as individuals, but they are, sadly, wrong for each other.

I’m leaving these photos so if I ever log on again I might be reminded why I have to stay away.

The problem is not the kava, it is the extract. Kavalactone Extract is not really kava.
