How long does the effects of Kava last for you? Does it vary based on the strain?

Really depends on some factors such as, what strain, how much, and how fast I drink it. Usually I make 6 tablespoons and space the shells out 5-10 min and the krunk will stay a good two hours and the. The relaxing feeling will stay longer. Tonight however, I am making a strong batch with 8 table spoons. I will report back with how long this lasts

yea, usually a couple hours. I'm gonna make a strong batch tonight too of 9 year ISA and Blackbag seeing as it's saturday night. The kids are gone, the wife is going to bed early, so i'm gonna take full advantage of it!

I've found that high kavain strains tend to kick in immediately and subside rather quickly, around a hour. While high DHM strains are slower to come on and last a good several hours. That is why I usually mix a few high kavain strains with a few high DHM strains to make a grog that is both immediate and long lasting. The last few weeks I have been mixing; van3,

tudei, boroguro and nambawen to make some awesome combos. Now I have: chief's, stone and wow to throw into the mix as well.

Like the guys say it depends on the strain. Also setting is a big factor. I usually get a good three hours of nice relaxation and mood lift but it will taper off over another 2 to 3 hours. And I will always sleep like a baby once my head hits the pillow!!

Last night i made a batch of chiefs jungle 1 cup to about 3/4 gallon water and drank with a friend. started at 7 and kept it going till 9 or so real strong then tapered down over the next couple hours and went to bed around 12 still feeling good. oh yeah and i also just about go unconscious as soon as my head touches the pillow also.

yea that's the great thing about kava is when it's time to go to bed, there's no tossing or turning...usually lights out! I notice too that in the morning, i've got a great relaxed body buzz going on...it's great.

yes i love the afterglow, one of the first things that really kept me at it working through the reverse tolerance. to be honest i had no idea the effects were going to be this strong. its like every session is my best experience yet.

I just wish there was someway to make it last longer. And has anyone noticed that re effects seem to be less after an hour or so but there actually just the same, they just seem less because you have gotten used to them? It's like that with me. After I peak and stay there for awhile i feel less intoxicated because I'm used to it even though I'm still krunking strong.
