Kava for interview jitters?

[Jade]

I have an interview coming up this week and I am a little nervous. I was wondering if anyone has experience taking kava as a way to dull interview jitters. Normally, I begin ingesting my kava in the afternoon. But the interview is at 11 in the morning and I thought that if I take a small amount pre-interview that it might help calm and focus me to allow things to go along more smoothly. I will have Mo'i, Borongoru, Nene, Papa Kea,and Kava Candies on hand. I would like to be at the point where my anxieties are lowered, but not too numbed to think sharply or sleepy. Thanks for any input.

I'll second Mo'i, @Jade. If you know your kava well enough to not get an unpredictable effect (you wouldn't want to be mentally off-balance for a job interview) a couple of shells would probably be ok. I know that if I were to have two shells of Mo'i an hour before any social engagement, i would be more relaxed, open and creative-minded.

Thank you. My interview is not until tomorrow, so I think that I will give the Mo'i a trial run today to see how it effects me. I have never tried kava much that early in the day. The couple of times I did it made me very drowsy and hard to stay motivated.Mo'i may be a different story however. If that fails maybe I'll pop a couple-few of the kava candies.
