Where you at
Goaldeje? This stuff would be right up your alley
So - I bought some Fijian Kava powder online. This morning, on an empty stomach, mixed up a 'medium' batch (based on what I've read), about 3 tablespoons and put it in a mesh bag. You have to submerse it in about a cup of water and knead it for about 10 minutes to get the active ingredients into solution. I ended up with about a cup and 1/2 of liquid to which I added a couple splashes of coconut/almond milk. Kava is not known for it's taste, but honestly it was not unpleasant, it did taste a little bit like muddy water.
One of the 'tests' for good Kava is that it should cause some tingling/numbness of your tongue and throat and I felt that immediately. It's not intense like you'd get with an allergic reaction where your throat is closing up, just a mild numb sensation that lasts for a bit. I also, much to my surprise, got a 'buzz' feeling almost immediately. Not 'euphoria', but just a nice steady buzz which I am still feeling about 20 minutes after drinking it. Kava supposedly has 'reverse tolerance' effects in some people where it takes multiple ingestions to feel anything. Not me - I definitely feel it.
So far, this is really nice. I could see this becoming part of my routine as it's got few side effects (as long as you don't over-indulge) and because of the reverse tolerance quality, you don't have to increase your intake over time to get the same effects.
Will follow-up in awhile with a complete after action report, but so far liking it a lot.
