Chewing kava root

I've chewed root powder before. I would shovel about 1/3 of a tablespoon into my mouth, chew it up, swallowing the juices while at the same time trying to not swallow any of the roots fibres. I would chew on each mouthful for 5-10 minutes before moving onto the next.



It definitely works, the effects were probably more potent than I've gotten from traditional preparation methods. I even didn't mind the taste after a while. The biggest drawback is that it took a lot of chewing (maybe 45 minutes +) to consume my usual dose of 2 heaped tablespoons.

PM me your address and I'll send you what I have left from the same vendor.  I tried it and it kind of upset my stomach.  When I ran out I did cut it up into tiny pieces with a pair of wire cutters and made some potent brew though.

I like chewing on root but usually cut it down into a toothpick size and have it sitting there for a while...one thing you can do is get some brew N chips and soak in a little cinnamon extract - cinnamon goes great with root if you can't get past the taste.

That is very kind of you. Thank you so much. PM sent. PS, you may get it twice, I was having some difficulty sending it.
Steve and Midas, thanks for the responses. I cant believe you just went to town on root powder. Thats hilarious. I'm surprised you could stand it. 

Steve, do you find it gives you noticable effects?

I chew bula kava house stuff all the time, the effects are stronger but more in a dizzy spun out feeling, prefer the effects of drinking and the gradual effects. I sometimes have trouble seeing straight when I chew, like the muscles in my eyes are beyond relaxed.

Buddhacide I like chewing sometimes for sure and definitely feel an ease in tension....I like the "in the zone" feeling where I am not debilitated or krunk but just cruising and can get a lot of work done...i leave the krunk feeling for sat. night :)

Buddhacide, I got your PM and sadly I have to go to the dentist tomorrow and will burn up my lunch hour doing that but I'll have them heading your way before the end of the week.

Enjoy!!
