reverse tolerance

[kl.BigDSupreme]

ive read some very conflicting things about hoe kavas tolerance works some sources say tolerance builds very quickly others say it gets stronger each time. And i know most kava info you can fond online is total bs (like liver toxicity death addictive ) so i figure you guys at the kava lounge are the real experts. So whats your experiences with kava tolerance?

mmmm...well everyone will experience kava differently. Some people are naturally receptive to kava to begin with so reverse tolerance doesn't take nearly as long. I think most people that try it for the first time fall somewhere in the middle. There are people out there, and a several on this forum, that are affected less than most people that try kava so it takes them longer to get there reverse tolerance going.



There are a bunch of factors to consider when talking about reverse tolerance. I was one of those people that fell somewhere in the middle. I didn't feel kava's effects nearly as much as I do now when I first started using it. I felt enough to keep me interested though. I think that's the difficult part. Kava isn't something for those who like instant gratification.

I actually knew nothing about the reverse tolerance situation when I first started enjoying kava. I had taken it in pill and dropper form from time to time before learning that there was a rich tradition behind the root. I bought some to see what that was all about and found the ritual of making the grog quite fun and consistently pleasant, so I continued to order more. Then out of the blue it went from pleasant to extremely effective. In retrospect I suppose I must have been one of those that, as Vekta described, fell into the middle. It took me personally about 8 ounces, 3 tablespoons at a time, to go from "feeling it" to "really feeling it".
