Personal Info: 5'11"/~140 lbs/Male/20 years old
Kava Usage: Infrequent; Use is either consistent back to back days at a time or none at all for weeks sometimes months at a time.
Consumption: Kava was consumed on an empty stomach at approximately 7pm in the evening with a meal following all shells.
This Kava was my first experience with micronized, but it sure was enjoyable. I found the effects to be overall balanced and gentle with its onset and duration. It lifted me up slowly and brought me down gently. Although gentle in essence, it still packs a punch. I would consider this one of the more potent strains I have tried.
The peak is very strong and exhibits a balance of effects, mainly headiness and anxiolytic properties with sedation. I found the Mahakea to be extremely heady during its onset and peak, yet as it wore off I became very sedated. I experienced the headiness with Mahakea to be consistent euphoria especially during its peak and mental energy, almost too much for the evening/night-time. I experienced the heavy effects to be primarily anesthetic in nature but found the headiness and anti-anxiety/sedation to overpower any heaviness experienced. I find Kava in general to be a very interesting plant. It has a wide range of strains and effects that alter depending on duration. This particular Kava is a good example. I also experienced this Kava singing very loudly especially near my 5th and 6th shells. The intelligence of the plant definitely shines through with this strain.
Overall I believe this was a great first experience with micronized Kava. I also want to commend Gourmet Hawaiian Kava for their micros. I have not experienced any gastrointestinal issues or side effects from their micronized form and find it much more palatable. I have found bowel stimulation and the strong diuretic effects to be normal with my Kava consumption for which I prepare by staying properly hydrated before and after my sessions. This has reduced all possible negative effects in conjunction with micronized form which is my new favorite. I have not tried instant, however that form is in my near future. I currently received GHK's new micro variety Boroguru in the mail today and will be posting a review of that soon. Peace!

I only would take a cutting and start a new kava plant from that. Thanks again for the great review.
