Hey BL, I've never done Kava before but today I was given a tannish paste of something that I can already tell would be foul if it were to be used as a "paste"

Can I just take the two pea sized doses by swallowing it like a gel pill or rub it under my tongue. Please note that I just now took one pea sized dose by just putting it on my tongue and swallowed it. It gave a temporary anesthetic effect.


So i'm wondering; What's the best way to use this paste, and can I use more than 2 doses instead of upping the dose every hour?

Thanks.

-Kava newb, Brian.
 
I have never tried this "paste", but dried Kava root usually contains around 15% kavalactones, so if your paste is 84% then that would mean that it would be around 6 times more potent than regular Kava root. Kava itself is generally safe even in large doses unless you have a liver condition. Yes you can swallow it like you would a pill, I don't know whether putting it under your tongue would really increase the effects all that much. I do not think there is any need to re-dose every hour, Kava lasts much longer than that, are you just meaning you will titrate the dose that way if it is not strong enough? Kava is very mild, all I could really compare it to is having a small amount of alcohol or a very small amount of benzos, combined with maybe a super-super tiny amount of marijuana or something. At small doses it has slightly different effects than at large doses and it can sometimes be a bit stimulating. I wouldn't expect a huge high from it or anything. How are you feeling right now? How long has it been since you took the Kava paste?

ETA: By the way, why did you say it would be foul if used as a "paste"? How is a "paste" supposed to be used?

Wow so this stuff must be potent. I'm going to dose again right now to really experience the clear-headed kava buzz I hear so much about.

And by paste, I meant like a paste you rub on your gums. Or Kava-Kava toothpaste lmao
 
Oh like the paste is intended to be used for toothache, or just because rubbing it on your gums is supposed to give faster onset of effects?

You didn't say how you were feeling or if you'd noticed any effects? As I said, the effects are very mild, so don't get your hopes up expecting a huge buzz or anything ;)
 
Oh Kinda like it's my first time taking an opiate and benzo, in low doses of course. I'm not getting any epiphanies like a dude on Erowid said, but I can really reflect on my day today. I also have 84% kava capsules which I took two of with 3-4 large pea sizes (It's Co2 cleansed or something so it won't damage my liver)

And more research about the oily paste is that it's like the hash of kava. It seems after 5 seconds after putting in some of the paste, I felt my head clear right up. Combine it with some good pot, and now we're talking!
 
Well that sounds like you're getting pretty good effects from it then. A lot of people are disappointed because they are expecting Kava to be super intense and it's a really mild gentle plant. I think it's a nice alternative to alcohol though and doesn't have many of the negative effects of alcohol.
 
I have heard the paste is a very legit extract, I'm glad I didn't buy that or Kava Kava powder and just further tapered off of a low, tapered dosage of Valium with the legit liquid Kava Kava tincture, the Pharma Kava ones in the glass bottles. I liked the liquid since I was just tapering, but you would have to drink the whole bottle to get any sort of appreciable Kava high like you would with a fat glob of the paste.
 
I have a 30% kava lactone powder I sometimes use. I just mix a few spoon fulls with half a litre of orange juice and drink it rather then alcohol. Makes a great alternative and doesnt give you a hang over. It goes great with amphetamines too
 
Yeah I also agree with Kava being a good alternative to Alcohol, because beer shits ruin my week. Same with benzos too. I like feeling relaxed, but I also like to think when I relax. I can't do bud and benzos because they both just cancel each other out IMO.

And I can efficiently state that Kava does work, and I recommend it to anyone who likes to just chill and relax.
