Misc kava kava questions

[achester2]

so im not so used to the rules on this site so dont crucify me if i break one but i am a frequent opiate user and its been pretty dry in my town for some time now, so my buddy suggested i try kava. I went out and bought a bottle from my local vitamin store and they are in capsules with 200 mg of kava extract and 60 mgs of kavalactones. About and hour and a half ago i took 7 and have a light buzz. But im really trying to get loaded, what is a safe amount to take while getting screwed up at the same time. Also ive read that some people make a brew out of it, is it better to drink it or take the pills, and are there any other roa's that would work better for this.

Thanks

Check the Megathread. Pills are junk, try a health food store or the internet for some dried root powder.

yeah that what i read, but if the capsules have the same amount of kavalactones why wouldnt it work, do they remove the intoxicant ingrediant?

Kava is more of a subtle acquired taste than something you can just take to get wrekt. Nothing like opiates imo, so if you're looking for that sort of buzz this is the wrong substance. It does have anxiolytic & relaxant properties sans the satisfying warmth and euphoria of an opiate.

If you're wanting to just feel closer to normal try: Theanine, Tyrosine, 5-HTP, and a strong Vitamin B complex with plenty of exercise, water, and a solid 3 square meals a day. No reason to catch a buzz on supplements. Take a long drug break. Allow the receptors in the brain to get back to function.
