First kava experience (Nambawan from Bula Kava House)

[kl.Big Thier]

I'm almost done drinking my first glass. I dislike the taste, but I think K@ was worse. It's easier to drink anyway. I wash it down with chocolate soy milk. I feel a SLIGHT numbness in my mouth, does that mean I didn't prepare it well enough? I let it dip in the water the whole day, then I kneaded it for 20 min. The color is like light brown. A bit lighter than chocolate milk. Not feeling anything so far.

I wouldnt say a lack of numbness is a big deal -- a numbing effect is a good indicator of quality kava, but it's not gonna like numb your mouth up like novocaine just drinking it. You posted this like 2 hours ago so I assume it either didnt work or you are good and krunked by now.

Lol well... I was feeeling barely anything... Then I decided to take some weed... It was around 3 AM. I got pretty fucked up, I felt less anxious, and I kinda had a little trouble walking. I was sleepy as fuck too. I wasn't hungry at all when I usually am at this hour. Could the kava take an hour, an hour and a half to kick in?


Feeling a mild hangover right now.

Hard to say what was the kava when you introduce another substance into the mix. Kava isn't rally a "fuck you up" kind of beverage though.


I would take a pass on the mj next time. Mentally try and relax and let the kava work on you. I've never felt a heck of a lot of mouth numbness so I wouldn't worry about that.

I woke up mad late, feeling kind of hungover. I had no apetite for the whole day. Not sure if I'll do it again. That was half a cup of root.
