Harm Reduction Quick Kava questions

[PsychedelicHaze]

1. Can't really seem to find a specific answer to this. What does kava feel most like?
Kratom can feel like weak opiates like hydrocodone all the way up to oxycodone from what I've read.

2. Does it need to be steeped with hot water or can you jist drink it mixed in juice/water?

3. is it hepatoxic or is that propaganda?

Thanks!

1. I think most feel it to be most similar to a benzodiazepine or alcohol without impaired coordination.

2. Not sure. I rarely drank it.

3. It is unless you're getting just the pure root. I believe they weeded out most, if not all, of the unscrupulous vendors.

Interesting..
1. What's a good dose?

2. If you don't drink it how else can you take it?

Thanks!

Kava feels like benzos to me. Feeling clear headed, but with sluggish motor function is jormal at high doses.

You do not need hot water. Use plain water. I enjoy the taste.

Its generally agreed that pure root does not damage your liver.

Dose depends on what kind of kava prep you have. It comes in powder, instant, and in chunks. Which do you have?

Just pointing out that you said "Kratom" here rather than Kava even though you seem to be talking about Kava.

Obviously they aren't the same thing.

I have a question though:

If you are on a pretty good dose of Kava, do you think others will easily be able to tell you are "on something" if you don't want them to know, or is it generally one of the easier drugs to avoid showing you are on like Kratom?

Does it make your eyes read or pupils pinpointed or dilated?

And if you DO look like you are on something, would it be easy to pass off as having drank a little or would that be a hard excuse to buy if it the outer effects don't resemble alcohol?

Also, I've asked multiple people and it SEEMS to be relatively safe to take on benzos/Klonopin which I take, but I just wanted to ask someone else's opinion.

I understand they are different. I was giving an example of comparison.
