Kava Enthusiast

Funny you mention that, because I feel like my ability to absorb information is heightened when I am krunked. But then again, I did write my dissertation while completely bowled over by various varieties of Paradise Kava.ozzyfan121 said:If you're looking for something that isn't terribly mentally engaging, it's great. Like Buddha said, The Pacific Elixir is very saturated with information, so it may not be the best choice if you're exceptionally krunked. Though I haven't read through this entire book—I downloaded it on my Kindle and then got caught up in the new edition of one of Anton LaVey's books—that of it which I did was more palatable to my heavily-kava'd mind.
Kilham does on page 11 acknowledge Kava - The Pacific Drug, by by Lebot, Merlin & Lindstrom as "the best researched and most complete of all academic works on kava".Buddhacide said:I really liked it. Easy reading. Unlike The Pacific Elixer which is far more academic.

I don't really consider it a religion, for his "Satanism" is really just self-worshipping, carnally desirous atheism. I disagree with him on many things (I feel like a lot of it is very harsh and cruel), and therefore don't deem myself a LaVeyan Satanist, but being an avid reader of Ayn Rand, Aleister Crowley and Nietzsche, I do incorporate a lot of his philosophy into the way I live my life, as he incorporated theirs into his. The problem with all of the aforementioned philosophers is—with the exception of Nietzsche's pre-insane writings—the blatant selfishness, sometimes leading to the detriment of others. I don't believe in Satan or God as deities, but to me they represent equally important aspects of the psyche. Sorry to bring back a question that was asked a few days ago for something irrelevant to kava, but it seems I was misunderstood, and I don't want to be considered a theistic, legitimately devil-worshipping Satanist.
