The "Kava-Kava" MEGA THREAD!

I just ordered 250g of waka kava powder and wanted to get a dosage recommendation. Don’t wanna read through the whole thread.
 
Since the mega thread was kicked up, I remember one time using a strong kava brew after coming home from a stressful day at work. I was loaded with anxiety. Almost shaking. I made a proper kava brew and slammed down 2 mugs in 10 minutes on an empty stomach. Over the next 15 minutes I can feel this peace just start washing away the anxiety as I floated away staring into space. Some of the most euphoric relief I ever got. I sat for 30 minutes just floating away.

I know people can say after an extremely tense and anxiety filled day a benzo can be euphoric. I mean it works. But how the kava just washed away anxiety far surpassed that feeling in terms of euphoria. I hope to try that again at some point. Saying that, it is work to make a proper brew and takes some work to slam some down. All that can be stressful too. A pill is easier for those times. But that night it was worth it.

I use 1/2 cup blended and strained with a little cream and fruit punch flavor.

That's because with benzos most of the euphoria comes from the joy of being released from anxiety, whereas kava is actually euphoric in it's own right in addition to releasing you from anxiety. Kava can also produce deep feelings of peace.

That is so interesting because I am the guy that sort of laughed when people said this drug or that drug gave me "peace". Peace is a state of mind and something different than relief from anxiety and until now I never thought any drug/plant could give it. But that statement rings true for me. A plant that can, at times, actually give peace and not just relief. I have to think about that.

It is called the drink of peace, seems our ancestors knew more than us.

I just orderer some kava from a well known european shop (there's just a few) and wow, I remember why I liked it so much,
there's some very odd "glutamate" or whatever shit anxiety rebound after some hours... that in a way reminds me alcohol, but it doesn't happen ever so I don't know if it's some kind of nocebo, but the effects for me surpass alcohol and the way it energizes/synergizes with kratom it's just perfect.
The heady kavas sometimes are too much for me, as the euphoria is QUITE pushing, at least for me, it's like pretty intoxicating and odd... the balanced and heavy kavas are my thing as I tend to use it to wind down and relax after a fucked up day and to help to be relaxed before sleeping (tho amanita it's probably the best natural sedating substance)
In my experience it's better to use kava 2ice or 3ice a week, instead of everyday, not sure why, but it's more recognizable and the effects seem better for me.
