Hello

[mitchwFSU]

Hello, Mitch here. New to the forum and about 2 months in to kava. Got introduced to it by my brother-in-law who came back a couple months ago from a 2 year stint in the Peace Corps, in Vanuatu. So he comes to visit talking about this kava drink and how that's all he did over there. Come to find out St Pete has a few kava bars so we checked it out. Later i found this forum, and here i am. I tried a few kava bar-label root powder from some of the local places, seemed to get stomach issues but later realized i wasn't straining enough and gulping down big quantities of sediment and i guess makkas. So i learned the hard way there... But got some N@H Stone and White Sands last weekend in the mail (fast shipping from them due to being in FL). Kneaded and strained good and wow, great stuff and no stomach issues. 2 Tablespoons per cup of water.

Also I just ordered that instant sampler pack from GHK today, hoping that will come by the weekend.

Anyway, thanks for all the good info, advice and knowledge here. I'll be around. Mitch.

Hi Mitch. Welcome to the forums! I think you've made a good choice with the sampler from GHK.

Extremely sick avatar.

Thanks folks! Knocking that stone back now good times! Can't wait to try that GHK instant. Just happy that avatar wasn't already taken. If I do 2 tablespoons per cup with root, what do u suggest for the instant. And I thought I read my dosing may be low, is that right?

try two tbsp of instant,...chug it, wait 15-20 min, ascertain whether or not you feel ready to glug down another tbsp or two...etc..

I assumed you photoshopped that, I didn't realize it was a real album!

Okay, so first off water doesn't affect the potency. How many tablespoons of root do you use per session? With instant, I typically advise people start with a tablespoon and just add a tablespoon as you feel necessary.

I take between 10-12 tbsp of root in a night session, during the week. More on weekend nights, of course lol. That's the stone. More of the white sands as it doesn't pack quite the punch ya know.
