Giggling uncontrolably on kava?

[kl.AaronAdams]

To start with, I'm 17 and have been drinking kava on and off for about 4 months. Well today in 3rd period we had to do a mock trial type thing where we call up witnesses and ask them questions. The people asking questions all sat at the front of the room and I was one of them. I get anxious when doing stuff like this so I drank 2 shells of kava a couple hours beforehand to take the edge off. I was still very much under the influence of the kava in 3rd period, but not krunked. Anyway, when the other people started asking the witnesses questions I could NOT keep a straight face and would have random outbursts of laughter while the rest of the class was completely silent except for this one guy that whispered "what is he smoking?" and the teacher stared at me almost the whole time. It was so embarassing! I'm pretty sure it was the kava that caused this because now I look back at the things I laughed at and they really were not funny at all, quite stupid things as a matter of fact. Does this ever happen to anybody else?

No. And you're probably a little young to be drinking Kava without some kind medical sanction or advice. That's just my opinion of course.

hmm, never got the giggles. BTW, what brand kava was it?

 

[kl.AaronAdams]

too young? maybe...I just don't want to take addictive pharms like xanax for my SAD so I use kava instead.

it was the 100% Hawaiian kava from paradisekava.com I just got it recently. The only other kava I've drank is Chief's Jungle which was extremely sedating for me, but never made me laugh more than usual.

OK, this is on my must-buy list. And yes, I do have gigglefits on kava, especially Chief's Jungle, but usually they're deliberately triggered by someone.



I may have to register to vote so I can be selected for jury duty so I can attempt to duplicate this experience.

Sorry, I jumped the gun on this. That's actually a great reason. A very mature choice, in fact.

I agree with vesuvio. Its really sad that the pharmacy is still pumping out these meds that are so harmful and addictive..

but hey that's America right?

@AaronAdams what's your powder to water ratio?

At least you'll have an excuse why you can't stop laughing.

Try something a little more gentle and see how that works. Togan or Nakamal at home Fire island instant.



Everyone will react different to a certain variety, or so I have observed in the friends that drink kava with me.( 3 others total)



You might just need to find the kava your body likes best. Sounds strange but from my own experience this is exactly why I prefer Tongan over Solomon Island kava now.
