Is it healthy or problematic to have kava more than once a day? On occasion I will have kava twice a day but skip a day to make up for it since I never allow myself to have kava more than once a day.

Still a good time

Pretty cool. In other news I haven't been here in years and this sub appears dead? Bummer. Hope the regulars are doing well.

Mine is:

1. Palarasul
2. Kelai
3. Mo'i
4. Pouni Ono

So from reading online the Kava Europe website seems to be a good option but from looking the website there are so many different kinds of Kava and I'm unsure which to buy?

Any help would be appreciated.

The day after drinking kava, I wake up with the taste of it lingering somewhere in my mouth or throat, and it doesn’t go away when I eat or brush my teeth. It does go away eventually but has anyone figured out a way to shorten the unpleasantness? 😅

I've had chat with AI on any tips on how to empty your stomach sooner, so if you have a later final meal, you can still empty your stomach sooner and enjoy Kava earlier.

It recommended taking a digestive enzyme capsule during your final meal and having a ginger tea after. This will apparently empty the stomach 1 hour sooner. So can take Kava 3 hour after, instead of 4.

Has anyone tried anything like this before or think it's correct/incorrect?

So I the micronized sample pack from kalm with kava and i take the recommended dose of 1 tbs, spread, drinking half then waiting 15/20 min and drinking the other half. I always make sure to only take it after not eating for usually 3 hours. I noticed whenever I take it at night, i get almost no effect which was frustrating, but the few times I've taken it in the afternoon, it does have a noticeable effect. I'll feel it in my head like my head feels light. Is there any common explanation for this because I much rather have it work at night so I can calm down for sleep.

Ive been seeing these guys advertised everywhere lately. How is their instant compared to NAH fire island?

Ive been a bit worried, I went a bit hard in the paint on some strong kava. Is it OK to stop suddenly after 2 weeks? Thanks.

I've been looking for a 100% basal root kava, but have been struggling to find one. I normally drink white sand from the nak, but it seems like their supply chain is having issues. I'd really appreciate if somebody could point me in the direction of a kava that's comparable.

I'd tried kava a number of times in the past, but I never really enjoyed it.

Recently, I've fallen into a bad rut — between self-employment struggles and my puppy being in heat, I was stressed out of my mind.

I started drinking on a nearly daily basis, which was terrible.

On Wednesday, I decided to try kava again, and wow, this time was much different.

The effects are subtle, but I feel relaxed and less worried.

Today, I feel so much more optimistic and creative. I feel motivated to get stuff done.

Feeling incredibly grateful!

I work from 11-8pm and when I come home (8:30pm) I like to have some kava. On my days off I’ll make kava using the blender method but my apartments quiet hours start at 8:00pm and I can’t do the blender method without getting complaints from neighboring tenants. Would I be able to blend it in the morning before I leave for work and then empty it into the strainer bag and leave it there all day until I come home? Should I put it in the fridge?

I went to a Kava bar while out of town, I haven’t been before. I did two days back to back. Really cool people and vibe, I got a kava drink with a certain sparkling flavor. I felt great after both.

As I don’t live near there I would love a source where I can get it and try it regularly. As well as something that tastes nice - like a flavored drink.

As well as would like to be inexpensive for consistent use.

Any thoughts?

Anybody just be eating chicken nuggets after a proper session and then kavas effect just come rushing back again? It's one of my favorite things about it.

I bought some instant kava and want to portion it out with a tablespoon. However, my dishwasher doesn't clean the dishes completely, sometimes leaving behind residues or traces of detergent. Can I safely scoop the kava powder with one of these spoons, or would it ruin the powder?"

I’ve been researching the safety profile of kava as I’ve been considering trying it (and for occasional, i.e. 1-2 times a week at most, use if I like it) for muscle relaxation. And I can’t find much at all on the cognitive effects of it, beyond the temporary mechanisms. Is it just understudied or are there minimal/no long-term effects? How does it compare to alcohol, which is vaguely similar, very well studied, and the negative effects on the brain are well known? For possibly unnecessary context, I don’t drink because of the risks (and tbh also the calories, I’m a petite woman with an office job, I’m not spending ≈25% of my daily calories and a ton of money on a few drinks). There was a study I read (and then proceeded to lose the link to) that I think mentioned people *on* kava performed worse than the control group in terms of memory, but 1. don’t quote me on that, and 2. I assume it was short term, which is not my concern (if my memory is a little worse while on the relaxation drug it doesn’t matter to me as it won’t meaningfully affect anything, if it makes my memory overall worse even when not taking it that wouldn’t be worth it for me personally).

Hey everyone,

I've been trying Kava on and off for a while now. I've noticed that I become really irritable the next morning - is this the norm?

Hey guys, im randomly UA tested with a 16 panel. I’ve read that it can false positive for amphetamine and/or MDMA. All the posts I’ve found are like 4+ years old and was wondering if anyone had updated information. Thanks!

I just bought the KWK Private Reserve - Solomon Medium Grind. $70 for 1 lb is great, it will last me 6+ months.

I only drink 1 or 2 weekends a month, so the “reverse tolerance” never amounts to much for me. This weekend, however, I had about 2 tbs last night and 5 tbs just now.

I fasted since breakfast (important step), and have been drinking shells for about 2.5 hours. Just chillin, but then. I ate a burger on rice, and I figure the fats from the food binded with the kavalactones and zoop. Like a smack from a grumpy mother, the kava hit me out of no where.

I have motionblur vision, my tongue fell asleep, and my muscles melted away. Life is good.

If I get up and moving to do the dishes, the effect diminishes. But if I stay seated, close my eyes, and focus on my body, I almost feel that spinny feeling from being drunk-ish.

But I’m not nauseous. I feel like a soul in the moment and my body has gone to the clouds.

That’s all. I should do this more often. God bless.

Does reusing a wet strainer immediately after making a batch reduce the effectiveness of the strainer?

Just a little whine tbh. Kelai was the first kava I tried and the best. I've tried other similar cultivars and sure, they're fine, but it's not the same. With kelai I sometimes get almost a euphoric ego death sensation that no other cultivar can reproduce. Can't wait for it to be back.

Hi guys, I heard about kava about a month ago from an online friend and ive been wondering about it since. I want to try it. Any pointers? Is there a good vendor in Europe offering it? Thanks guys
