How much is your monthly kava bill? (guestimate)

[wormwood]

I'm really interested to hear. I think I am at around 120 dollars. (I realize that's a lot of kava)

About 70% fall under $100, looks like we have a few people cracking the $300 barrier though

Mine was getting out of control recently and I've switched to basically drinking boroguru full-time as it's cheap, potent, and does everything I want.

Hey @kavadude, thanks for sharing that. Do you know when the poll was taken?

I probably spend more than some but I'm like a magpie. Show me something shiny, I wanna buy it!

 

[wormwood]

Wow thanks for the link. Very insightful.

I think at least $300 but I'm still experimenting with different strains/grinds etc. I'd be ok with 200-250.

$40-$60.

I buy mostly from the local Indian-Fijian store. The cost is very good, as is the quality.
$20 per lb of Waka, $18 per lb. of Lawena(tax included). Roots and chips freshly ground in the store.

I would highly reccomend them to everybody as the value is definitely there. If you are in Northern, CA
come visit them in Hayward. If elswhere, they will probably ship.

The chemotype and breakdown of kavalactone percentages are very close to GHK Hanakapi Ai:

Saudagar Waka: (Hanakapi Ai)
423651 (423651)
10.59% (9.13%)
4--25.24 (26.62)
2--21.77 (25.62)
3--17.85 (15.33)
6--16.87 (12.95)
5--9.85 (10.24)
1--8.41 (9.23)

I've spent a fortune recently buying everything in sight trying them all out. I'm guessing once I have wittled down to my favourites and I'm buying them as and when I need I'll be somewhere between $100 and $200 a month which is still way less than I was spending on booze.

I'm an intermittent user, with periods of heavy use, followed by light use or even abstinence. But I can say for sure that I've never broken $100/month.

I love reading that. As much as I push for kava, it's very refreshing when reading about how some kava consumers go heavy, start, stop, piddle, and there's never any incessant urge to continue drinking it. I'm personally starting to really understand what it means for something to be non-addictive.

If this isn't awesome idk what is.... if not for the holiday it'd be spot on.... and holy shit this hiwa is overwhelming me..............

Around 150-200 dollars. Shipping is expensive for Europeans and GKE take fairly high prices compared to US vendors.

Between 2-3kg per month, which is cheap if I am in the Pacific, or am elsewhere but still working through my island-bought stockpile. It would probably translate to around $250 if I was buying mail order from a reputable grower or dealer.
