Less is more?

[gaia.tree]

So for the past several days I have been brewing my grog with 2 tablespoons in the strainer. Today I was feeling overwhelmed with the sleepiness sine I've been drinking grog all day (making the most out of my vacation) and I decided to make my afternoon grog with only 1 tablespoon. Funnily enough the 1 tablespoon grog is actually more euphoric, more rushy and in general much more pleasant than the 2 tablespoons I've been drinking for the last several days. Does anybody else experience this?

More is good for me - but I wish that amount worked for me, I need a minimum of 4 tbs, preferably 6-8.

I occasionally have less-is-more experiences...but my "less" is 6 or 7 Tbsp rather than 9-12.

I guess it depends what you're after. If euphoria is what you like and it only takes 1 tablespoon to get there you are a lucky man. Lots of strains will show heavy effects if you drink enough. I love balanced Kava's, takes me on a nice journey through it all. Early in the session the euphoria builds, peaks, then the deeper I go the more heavy effects weigh me down. It's a beautiful thing.

I'm learning, kava is a funny one for me. Seems to vary in effects from shell to shell. I do know I love how I was feeling today, and it seems when I try to replicate an experience I'm disappointed, but if I'm just enjoying the medicine however it manifests, that's when the real good vibes happen.

That's exactly it ... you can't force kava to do anything . even something it did yesterday
