I wish I could get krunked. Can't seem to beat this reverse tolerance.

So I've been using Kava for approx. about 2-3 weeks and I've yet to experience a proper krunk. I do some experience some very, very mild relaxation effects, but nothing close to some of the experiences I've read about. I recently received an order of Chief's Jungle Kava which I drank the last 2 nights but I did not feel any krunk like effects. Tonight I used some powdered Kava root that I brought from a local healthfood store and again nothing special about the effects. I'm thinking I'll give it another 2-3 weeks to see if I can break through the tolerance issue. How long did it take you guys before you experienced a good krunk?

Cheif's Jungle is not the way to go.  To become krunk, based on my experience, I recommend a very high kavain cultivar with very good processing.  Wow, Numbawan, and Special Reserve Vanuatu Kava Powder are what I would recommend.

One thing that you can use to become krunk, with that in mind, is what I call "John's Favorite," (which is an off-the-menu specialty pizza from Papa John's consisting of a six-cheese pizza with sausage and peperoni), named after a personal recommendation from Nakamal@Home's John Bowman.  His personal favorite is Black Sand kava with a teaspoon of Shaman.  For whatever reason, it is more powerful than simply the sum of the two together.

For wilder kavas, I would recommend the nine-year-old Isa.  It will make you feel like a Duke.  I don't know what feeling like a king feels like, but I really felt very ducal when I had a few shells of this stuff.  It was akin to how I felt back when ephedra was legal.  Whatever it is that creates the "Tong" effect of Tongan kava, this is similar but different.  It was like taking the road to Shambala.

It took me about a month and even then it took some tenacious sessions. Basically just start making huge batches of strong kava, 2 cups of root per gallon of water and make up some thick grog. Then just chugging it on an empty stomach until you start to feel something and keep going until you can't go anymore without feeling sick. Eventually you will get more and more intoxicated and it will be easier to achieve results off smaller amounts. I found in the beginning that it could take 1/2 plus of root to get any serious effects and once I'd gotten through RT I was able to get off with around 1/4. I'll use 1/2 cup now but I get seriously wasted though.

It took me at least 1 month of hitting it hard (1/2-1 cup to a half gallon) a 3 to 4 times a week with litle to no effects but after about 2 1/2 weeks i started getting increasingly better results every session. that first month i went through a bout 1 pound of kavaboy(tongan) and a half pound vanuatu(realkava). after the first month i ordered chiefs and my first batch i really recievedd my first breakthrough krunk. after that it started taking less and less to get me there. although i do still have those lets drink a gallon nights with a buddie from time to time. but yeah bro hang in there. it will hit you and when it does you will completely fall in love with this magical root.

Also, do keep in mind that as a general rule, the effects of kava are subtle.  Like a rainbow in the dark.

I recommend keeping the lights low and maybe even stepping away from the computer for a bit.

My first experience with how subtle the effects are was when watching the Doctor Who animated special "Dreamland."  For whatever reason, Elizabeth II decided to restart the whole thing when we several minutes into it.  While at first the line, "they're the US Army, they can do what they want, they've been doing it since the Bear River Massacre" struck me as cynical and ironic... and of course true... the second time around I started crying.  One shell of Shaman.

Thanks for the suggstions guys. I think I'll continue to make my grog with the cheaper healthfood store kava until I can break through the RT and then I'll go back to using chiefs. 
I'm really looking forward to the breakthrough. A few years back when I was using weed, I would brew it into tea. It was so relaxing to kickback with a book and put on some music.I'm hoping Kava will give me that same mellowed out relaxing feel.

It was about a month for me. 3.5ish weeks.



Yeah arkitech, just keep drinking kava like normal. When you get krunk you'll know it.

once you start to really krunk out it will be stronger than weed tea. Weed tea isnt very strong at all since THC isnt water soluble

Stay away from health food store kava for the most part. They usually just sell either the capsules or tinctures and the whole bottle is barely enough for one dose in my opinion. If you want to get through RT you should order a lb or kilo of good and reasonably priced root. Get boroguro or something and do a half cup a day until you start getting krunk.
