First part go to therapy. I made what some nothing burger comment that I like some heady in the morning to try to start on a good foot, but then like to switch to something more dreamy in the afternoon for more of netflix and chill kind of headspace.
He's all like: well, you should stop because according to the latest research Kava causes sudden liver failure. I made asked if could share a source, because PubMed disagrees. And he was all like: so anyway.
I just wanted to be diplomatic since just about all research I've found on PubMed have vehemently said: no liver damage, especially in moderation. A batch made too strong will have me over the toilet smf on my bed with the lights off and a shirt or sleep mask on moaning like crazy for several hours. Getting sick sucks. Going from that to calling 911 is about as 2020's: well that went to 11 instantly. But at least from Kava itself? not a thing.
If it comes up again are there articles to send him? I have no idea what specific research he looks at.

Question: Palarasul sold by Coral sea from amazon.
I don't know if a bit of context helps:
What I was looking for: I think something dreamy, minus couch lock. I generally love the hell out of kavafied tonga for that. Thing is they were out of stock of 1/2 pounds of it.
Suffice be said: I was all like huh well Palarasul is getting good reviews lets give it a try.
I want it to work, but man. It's flat and one dimensional. Is that a bug (somehow prepped it wrong? oO) or feature?

As above but also switching from one kava to a new one can be tricky. I wouldn't worry about the new one not delivering in full straight away, just keep going because in my experience you can even get reverse tolerance between strains.

Oh yeah! I hadn't thought about that part. But now that you mention it... years ago BKH had 'EUA and then after sometime stopped carrying it, kavafieds' Tonga is also a 'Eua strain. I was pretty frustrated that it wasn't working. I don't know many times in a row I had to order it, before, it clicked out of the blue. I think I was listening to some Enigma, when--poof. a ridiculously nice glow.
I'll keep at it since it does have promise
