Soo...the first time I tried it, nothing happened (as expected). The taste was tolerable, but not great. It was sort of like soapy water flavor wise. The second time, I felt kind of chipper, but that was about it. The third time, woooooah. My body felt really heavy, but in a good way...it felt like a very earthy high. My body felt very low and grounded, like it wasn't going anywhere in a hurry. I hadn't eaten in several hours, so my stomach felt a little funny. It was interesting to have my mind intact but my body not totally cooperating when I tried to do things like type, walk etc. My boyfriend had trouble feeling much until after we ate a late dinner.I was surprised that the feeling had been fading and my hunger pangs were kicking in, and then after I ate the high came back! I guess I really needed to eat lol. I felt drawn towards music that was fluid and tender, and dim lighting. Sitting felt awesome! I didn't really want to move, neither did Allen. I was used to drinking alcohol, and the horrible nights sleep that would tend to happen from drinking, so I wasn't expecting to sleep very well. But I slept like a baby! So did Allen, which was fantastic since he had been having trouble sleeping the last few nights. I found it interesting that I felt more focused when on kava. Usually when someone is smoking pot, they lose clear focus, their eyes glaze over, and they space out...one is relaxed by kava, but also seems to center one's vision and thinking processes. Of course, this is just my first impression. I woke up this morning feeling a little dehydrated but tha'st about it! It was really cool. I think I'm going to try some different recipes to make it more palatable, and review those on this site. What I really loved about kava was that it left my brain intact. With alcohol and most other drugs, having too much of it can make you do things you didn't mean to do, or say, and then you have to live with it the next morning. I think kava is so unique in that it doesn't change your behavior radically, your just yourself, with really relaxed muscles, a chipper mood, and some contentment thrown in. SOOOOooo...what do you guys suggest for our next kava?
