I have never been able to get much at all from kava, I find it very subtle and I've tried it many different times, suppliers, even been to a kava bar (quite a few times, we have two of them in town). Like I think of it more like an herb in that the effect is too subtle to really be considered a "drug" for me. Seems like some people get more from it though. What is it like for you?
Well, I get very strong effects. It is extremely euphoric and mood uplifting, anxiolotyc, physically relaxing. It strongly potentiates LSD as well, and it appears that there may be some science to this as I learned on a kava forum recently.
But I also have that naughty,,shameful Etizolam habit. Kava very strongly potentiates benzodiazepines, and vice versa.
I use edible cannabis every day, primarily for digestive support, but this adds a lot to the psychoactive side of the kava experience.
My favourite times for really enjoying kava, his after I have had a nice vaporizer session with some lovely clean weed and that affect has just about levelled out.
Especially if I am also on a really good trip past peak but still in another world.
The kava can be magically enjoyable at those times.
But prep technique is important. I use Aluballs lately, with some lecithin in the ball,,15 grams Kava per Aluball. 2 washes.
I drink 2 or 3 per day.
You can also use a blender with lecithin. It is more potemt but a bigger process.
And also very potent qnd so easy, is the strainer bag tied and shaken in a jar of water. Two washes of equal potency and hard hitting too.
I would be curious to know which vendors you have tried I would naturally shout out a few names right now in case you haven't come across any of these particular ones but I'm not sure if that is within the rules or not?
My diet also contains a very high amount of natural healthy unrefined fats like coconut oil and olive oil iwhich may be a factor in potentiating the effects.
But mate, I absolutely love kava's effects. After a certain dose, 30 to 50 gtams, there is a blissful physicsl and mental euphoria. On top of the world and kava is highly sociable too.
