Anyone tried it? Last night, and tonight i have had some Kava tea. Mixed some Kava with some cinnamon. This tea is delicious, and really does relax me.

kava is pretty cool but you need a ridiculous amount of it to get good effects.

I hang out at a kava bar a lot but I've only tried it a couple times. It's not bad.

i've heard of them, but i've never tried their product. they seem to have some good product though. though you could probably find lower prices. maybe like 20 a lb/kilo.
don't know where to find good stuff, maybe someone else can chime in.
not to sure about different "strains" of kava either, like hawaiian, fijian, etc.

i felt/feel a benzo like relaxing effect with a slight stoned feeling to it. Not too intense, but it was just a minor tea. I bet i could get far better effects if i was to just injest pills of extract

I've heard that the key is to get the whole root not the powder, extracts, or any other kava product other than whole root.

Had about 80$ in hawaiian strain kona kava, and didn't feel shit. Messaged the vendor, and they told me it didn't work 'cuse I took too much. They said if I had taken it as directed, I would have been satisfied with the product, so they refused to refund me.
Buy with care. I don't think it works for all people. Don't tell me I took the wrong thing either because I bought 80$ in 84% kavalactone extract pills (gel and powder), extract paste, 10:1 elixir, and raw ground root. I took it in all available forms all in a span of about 2 hours.
Hope it works for you, but it was a bust for me. Their complementary vegan chocolate was good though.

probably. the powder probably isn't too bad, raw root sounds like a lot of work.
i like how it has a reverse-tolerance effect.

Nope, after 80$ and no effect, I didn't ever go near it again. I'm not much of a believer in the reverse tolerance effect. I've never seen any literature on a preposed mechanism for such an anomaly.
Some people say weed has a reverse tolerance. 
It's very possible that a mutation in a random receptor could rend certain people immune.
Sorry, I'm drunk as fuck.

I've had pretty good results with some of the chai drink mix from kona kava. Didn't taste very good but I definitely felt the effects after a few cups.

I made a MASSIVE bowle of this kava root powder and it put me in a decent mood, with a very numb mouth
Not very recreational is it supposta be?
