First time user, how much micro Mahakea for first dosage?

[redstar]

Hi everyone, glad i found this forums, i decided to buy my first kava from a great vendor GHK, there are so many diff vendors to choose from but im sure i found the best right off the bat

I bought some micro Mahakea, I am 175lb 6'3 and very fit. What dosage do you recommend i start out with? First to overcome my reverse tolerance, then how much after?

I'm not trying to get super krunked, I just want something similar to a .5mg dosage of xanax so that i can be myself in social situations.
Thanks! BTW, im usually NOT a light weight when it comes to anything..

It's usually best to burn through a cheaper kava, when you're still trying to get acquainted with the effects, but some people feel it nicely without much work. I typically recommend starting off with 1 or 2 tablespoons in a cup of water, then after ~15-20 min you can gauge how you feel and repeat...if you dont feel much by 5 or 6, just call it a night, it's probably not gonna work. Start again the next day and see if you feel any more pronounced effects yet.

thanks man. any idea how long reverse tolerance can last?

also i dont want to waste the stuff on my RT, so id probably stop at the 4 tablespoon mark because im a broke recent college grad haha.

i read people feeling good with just teaspoons of this micro Mahakea.. but unlucky me.. I'm never a lightweight with anything.

I started with tincture and Yogi tea, and then Kalm with Kava concentrate and didn't notice much except a sedation for the first two weeks. I drank something kava-related every other day or so, but not a lot. After those two weeks, I'd already shifted to instants and then to ground root and when it kicked in, holy cow, I was in love.

hmm okay, since im buying the good stuff first hopefully its not longer than a week, ill keep you guys updated, i get it friday.
i guess ill start out with 4 tablespoons a day.

Thought I would share my 2 cents having just finished off a bag of micro Mahakea.

My first bag was some BKH Boroguru Medium grind. During my first nights brew I noticed effects after the 1st and 2nd tbsp. My excitement and ignorance bred a night of krunked stupor, neaseau, puking and insomnia. The combination of chasing this new feeling and poor filtration methods led to a miserable first experience. Long story short, I agree with shakas advice and also advise you to start off small, call it quits if you dont notice effects or you start to feel impatient with the process. The first lesson Kava tought me is that of patience. She must learn to trust you and then the relationship becomes deeper. You've got an excellent potent strain their though and micro is perfect for a beginner. Be safe and peace!

I started off with a high dose(1 cup of kava) when I first had kava. I learned about reverse tolerance and didn't want to drink something nasty without effects. For my personal preference, I'm okay with the nausea and can handle the strong effects.

I will second the use of snicklefritz or schwag for the reverse tolerance burn-down stage. My RT was upwards of a few weeks though. Perhaps due to the use of schwag and not quality root. But I also used a very small amount at first.

In closing, we all is different folk, ya see??

^lol
Okay thanks guys, since im starting off with the bomb diggity hopefully it wont last more than two weeks. I will keep this thread updated on my RT. I plan on taking 4 tablespoons 6 days a week. Starting tomorrow when it arrives

For the best mahakea dosage, you should take the whole bag, place it in an envelope and ship it off to good 'ole shakas for some friendly testing. I'm just so helpful...

I agree. I send kava to shakas all the time. Make sure you send it to the correct address:

Hahah just tuning in. I downed a 8-10 oz shell of micro moi. My first cup ever from ghk. I took around two teaspoons with room temp mixed in good for a few minutes, chugged in two gulps, no grog which surprised me, 5 minutes in and im feeling great! Very mellow euphoria. I havent had kava in two weeks either.

 

[skatetheclouds]

I would start with two teaspoons and work your way up, however if you are new to kava i would hold on to the ghk and buy a cheaper lb from kbr or kavaboy and make it tradionally a few times, this is a much cheaper way to break your tollerance it also helps you appreciate the culture

I ordered the Mo'i Instant and it will be here on Saturday. Do any of you have any advice of how to dose for my first time? After reading some of the reviews, I'm torn on how much to take because obviously everyone is different. Should I start with 2 heaping teaspoons? Thanks in advance for any advice.

I did well with roughly 2.5 tablespoons of Mo'i Instant to 2 cups of warm water. It gave me about four good shells and really kicked in with the full Mo'i experience. I found the onset of effects to be accelerated as compared to strained root, and the tail on the effects to be slightly reduced but otherwise it was great!

I think two teaspoons to 8 oz is a good safe spot to where you can start feeling onset effects pretty much once you chug down the shell give it twenty to thirty then do amother shell at one to two more teaspoons.

Also @Steve i noticed this as well with instants, duration isnt as long as the med grinds but definitely can tell its concentrated because of how strong a little bit is

Thanks for the advice. I'm so stoked for my order to get here.
