So for my first Kava, I got myself some Koniak. I milled the medium grind of a little bit of it into a fine grind. I put two ounces of it in a Poland Spring bottle,
An ounce of Calamansi extract juice,
Four ounces of whole milk
Two ounces of water.
Shook for 30 seconds, and downed it all.
And overall, it does seem pretty meh for me at the moment. I know the obvious reason- I prepared it rather quickly and sloppily! Pain is numbing somewhat, no undesireable effects. Im more sociable now, to be honest, and less anxious. Some sores I had are numbing away quite a lot, which is a good sign, but nothing too extreme or pow at the moment.
Exactly how much of the potential effects of the kava am I getting with this rather...poor method of doing things?
Im considering moving over to night preperation and using more bowls, filters and strainer cloths, like I see most others on the forum do it. I can say though, its been 15 minutes only so far, and ive only drunken 9 ounces, where only 1/4 of that was actual kava root...funny, I even drank down some root in my mix. Overall though, Im happy it works! ouo. But can anyone who uses it regularly tell me how much of it's true potential am I milking out of it at this rate, and how much more potent would it be if I did it the usual way.
Since my large waterbottle is now clean, im also going to plan to make it 40 ounces at a time, and drink it down a few times over the course of a week since I heard it is pretty potent stuff.
Speaking of potent stuff, this Calamansi Lime extract REALLY does mask the bitter and piney taste. I can tell im drinking something with root in it, but it's rather sweet and not bitter at all. Calamansi Limes are really overpowering in sweetness.

There are some people who prefer Tudei because it is stronger and perhaps the side effects are not as bad as the drug they are replacing. Like a Tudei Hangover may not be as bad as an alcohol hangover. Looking on the bright side though, perhaps you will overcome Reverse Tolerance more quickly. The only thing I fear is that the potential side effects are going to turn you off to kava. I will add one more comment. If you are really a high schooler, then I would imagine your body can bounce back from anything. Just listen to it.
