Honestly, I can't remember ever feeling better. It's all relative I suppose.
I want to make it very clear that I'm not endorsing kr@: it is not for everyone and, unlike kava, it is addictive. I do not take kr@ recreationally; I use it for relief from pain that would otherwise have to be treated with pharmaceutical opiates/oids that I cannot for the life of me seem to use without endangering my life and the lives of those around me.
Back on topic: I have some hanakapi ai on the way and I have found it to be an excellent pain reliever. I will also be ordering some heavier varieties over the next few weeks to see what works for me. Thanks
@shakas for the recommendations and info on good heavies and thanks
@Kapmcrunk et al for the review filter tool that I've been playing with to narrow my choices down
