Smoking Kava?

[kl.9sam1]

Has anyone ever tried this? I googled it but got conflicting reports. I'm thinking about putting some powder in my cig and seeing what happens. Anyone have reason to believe this would be a bad idea?

Breathing in smoke in general is a bad idea whether it's a  cigarette or a structure fire. It's your money and your kava but....

*leg hug* don't do it! Pleaaaase!(Cry)

If you do a search in this section of the forum you can find a post about it.  Heck it is probably only a page or so back.  To each their own though-I have not desire to smoke it.  I imagine it is one nasty tasting, hack inducing smoke.

too much heat definitely degrades kava in my experience so I'm quite certain fire will destroy it, but if you're set on experimenting I'd be interested in your findings.

Dumped out the tobacco in my cig, spread some root powder throughout it and packed it back in. Definetly got some effects, my throat and tongue were numb as hell, the smoke wasn't that harsh and was masked greatly by the tobacco. It was weaker than drinking it, but it works, I probly wouldn't use this as my preferred method but I could see myself keeping a cig laced with kava in my pack as a "just in case" type deal.

I imagine a cigarette holds a much smaller quantity in comparison to a usual brew. Would you say the smaller portion was more or less effective than drinking the same amount?

 

[kl.9sam1]

I literally used just a small pinch, enough to sprinkle throughout the whole cig. It gave me way more of an effect than the same amount would in a drink. I imagine if you smoked a bowl packed full of just powder itd probly work alot better, but the smoke would probly be worse than the taste of the drink, so it seems pointless unless you really don't have the time to make a batch/are really low on kava.

Kava water bong. Wow. Sounds interesting but I'd rather not be the guinea pig on that one (smiley: roll)
