As for Kava and liver disease - this was caused by extracts sold by Pharm companies who got greedy and used the whole plant, not just the root - the plant is traditionally avoided because of its hepo-toxicity.

Cool, it sounds like this really works. What are the thoughts on how this affects the person after the trip? Does a heavy yet anxiety free trip imprint the mind to be anxiety free? Any experiences? I have read a few posts saying that people suffer anxiety attacks after tripping and can't handle stress; this is just no good from a hedonistic standpoint.

And the neurological models a couple people mentioned are very interesting. In what part of the brain do imprints occur?

Valerian root's helped me off of some bad trips before, but I think I'll try Kava Kava too. Thanks for the info.

It does work. About two months ago, I was on a strong acid trip with some friends. Out of nowhere, I just started balling. It's not unusual for me to cry while tripping...I do it every time. But on this occasion, I just couldn't STOP. Relentless tears. Not a bad trip, but I was worried about bringing other people down with my emotion, so I sipped some kava extract in tea and finally, the tears slowed and relaxation started.
Good stuff to have on hand.

I just used Kava and a beer to help me get in a good relaxed mood before my acid trip yesterday, worked very well, i had an amazing trip.
I use the Gaia Herbs brand tincture (extra strength or regular) it was regular this time.. but i just fill the dropper twice and mix it in a shot glass with some juice and bamm, makes me feel great.
Kava is great for socializing, just feeling great.
Anything from Gaia Herbs is always potent.
