I do it all the time. Most people frown on it though. It hits way harder and longer. Ive never had problems doing it, but some have (allergies and dry skin). I have bloodwork pending at the moment after eating a bunch last night so we'll see what comes of that

Just depends on how the grind is. If it's a fine grind I don't bother straining. If it's micronized then I'll just toss and wash right out of the bag. But if it's a courser grind or just straight root chips then I'll blend and strain to get the most out of it.
What I do for the finer grinds is just toss and wash, there's two ways of doing this.
1. Toss a tbsp or two into a cup of water, stir well (doesn't hurt to let it sit for a few minutes to let it soak) and then just chug.
2. Put a tbsp or two of root powder into your mouth, and then drink water to wash it down.
I like version #2 the best for micronized grinds.

Yeah I use kavalovers method one, except I sometimes use milk of some sort and blend it first as well.

I did this a couple of times with the Fu'u but it's hard for me to get down, and I'm also paranoid now because I don't think I could be able to stop kava lol

You don't have to knead-just stick the kava in a blender with 120 F water and blend for 3 minutes and strain. You'll do just fine.
