Kava Curious
Hey guys.
So I know some people are going to be extremely aggravated that I am suggesting this. Yes, Kava is definitely way less addictive than almost all substances and substantially safer. This may be just a personal personality thing. However, does anyone feel Kava has a moreish quality to it? Not to the point of end-all-addiction, but sort of where you feel a need to keep redosing to get that initial Kava rush after taking a shell, almost going through your Kava stash too quick for something that is supposed to be completely non-addictive. This may just be a personality trait on my part, loll. It's also the way Kava effects me. I know it's supposed to mainly act on the GABA receptors, but it does have a very dopaminergic feel as well, almost, slightly, reminiscent of some good old C' when it first hits. Just something with the excitement, happiness, contentment, little bit of flutter in the stomach - definitely a dopamine push. This may be just a part of its effects that I emphasize and identify with due to my history. Once out, I am able to stop for weeks at a time, so I am not saying this is a crazy addictive drug. But, in the short-term, I do find it to have a moreish quality similar of other dopamine agents. Anyone share this feeling? If so, why do you think this occurs?
