how do you prepare your kava root?
ive been making a drink the past few nights but i feel like im missing out on something.
this is how i drink...
i measure out a 1/2 cup of kava root powder and toss that into a blender then i add 2 cups water and 1 cup milk then blend for a good 5 minutes. i then pour the mix into a shirt over a bowl and ring the shit out of it till its nice and dry. then i chug it.

i read that it warms up a bit while blending and that some kava bars dont heat it up at all.
i know it cant reach past 140...
maybe tonight ill heat up the water/ milk and let the kava soak for a good 15 minutes, then ill blend for another 5 then drink.

you don't need to heat it up. you can get more out of it by putting a tablespoon of soy lecithin granules in the blender with the kava. make sure to blend for about five minutes. the blender will heat up and you might need to take a break or have a second blender. also, I always used a full cup of root powder or more.

Get a bag like this. I usually go with 2-5 tablespoons. Throw the bag with kava in it in a large bowel of lukewarm water and knead for 3-7 mins or something. I've use all kinds of different stuff to make it like cocoanut milk or a blender. I really never noticed anything being much better than water.

Kava gets me delightfully fucked up Once I ate 5 kavalactone pills and forgot. Went shopping/bareley made it home! Enjoy it dude
Oh this is forever legal because its "used in hawaii" and more importantly: Its consumed orally That's the funny thing. Orally consumed intoxicants are socially ok.
If the effects of alcohol were from something in a pipe it'd be banned and shunned like "bath salts"
