I love kava, how do you prep it? I just use water and a strainer, but I've seen different stuff on you tube. How big of a difference does the preparation make?

Never have but I've been meaning to for a while. There are some out here, but it's a bit of a drive to get to em.
I have to make some mushroom chocolates too now that I think of it... Maybe I'll try making a chocolate that has kava & mushrooms in it

You've tempted me to finish off the little bag I had from a while ago. Unfortunately there's only about 2 teaspoons there - but it'll have to do for tonight. Empty stomach plus some food after - here we goooo!
Last time I had it, it was underwhelming. Didn't really get anything but a numb mouth. I don't think I had enough and nor did I prepare it properly. Gave some powder to my friend though (who has a decent amount of experience in these matters) and he said it was pretty good - so I believe in it.
Shall find myself some more and have a decent dose and preparation soon.

I like Kava  Good ole GABA  But I enjoy the taste of beer a little more 
Still great stuff.
Do you drink Kava through the day?? Or is it a night-time relaxation thing for you?

I found it a little less stimulating than a cigarette. I'm really into my natural stims, this just didn't cut it for me. Maybe, I need to up the dose. But it's nowhere near the top of my to do list.

I am always disappointed when I take it. Always leaves me with a surprising hangover considering how minimal the effects seem to be. With that being said I've only ever purchased it from a local health foods store so maybe they just have shitty stuff.

Me and all my friends all woke up feeling like shit and super lethargic. Like I said could just be that I get shitty stuff
Everytime I tried it the experience falls way short of everything I've ever heard described. I've drank a LOT of it before and still felt little to no effects.

How did you prepare your kava? Did you not strain it? Did you drink alcohol with it or combine it with anything else?

Little bit of milk, water, and oil mixed together. Kava placed in a bandana zip tied, and massaged underneath the surface of the liquid thoroughly. Took out the bandana and let the concoction sit in the fridge for ~25 minutes.
Repeated several times until I was sick of drinking the foul tasting drink. Skipped the chilling process after the first time.
The first time I tried it I also smoked some weed, the other 2 times I had it It was all by itself.

AFAIK, Kava can't be imported to Australia. You may only bring up to 2kg on your person at a time. So it's pretty difficult to get here. Happy Herb Company sell it in little bags (probably like 15g for $10 or something) - which is what I got last time. Can't get much out of that though, obviously. So I bit the bullet this arvo and bought 200g for $50 delivered on eBay (only seller I could find, besides the crappy tablets) :-( Expensive but I want to give it a decent shot.
Not sure if it was placebo or not but even the small dose I had last night, as a supplement to meditation, was enjoyable.

i was a bit disappointed too.
i always prepared it after work and took me about 30 minutes to make each time. i was also bummed that i went through 130gs in about 4-5 days.
i think ill stick to kratom and just dose less if i need some energy. i do know that once my income tax comes in, im gonna buy at least a kilo of kratom, maybe 2. shit would be perfect for some apocalyptic shit.

Received my (Tongan) kava today. Brewed up 3tbsp in 1.5 cups milk/water (60/40) and had half of it about 10 mins ago. Planning to finish it off soon - shall report back...

Really? Since how long has that been the case?
I declared about 200g of dried kava at customs a few months ago no worries, and years ago I'd occasionally go to a kava bar in Adelaide where they went through a shiteload of kava every night.

Sorry man, can't agree with you there at all. I've had plenty of kava both casually and in traditional ceremonies in Fiji, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and Micronesia and the Fiji kava has always been the weakest.
Kava from Tanna Island in Vanuatu is generally considered the strongest you can get.

Love kava and I'm about passed the taste of it. Taking a bit is relaxing and feels medicinal for the mind. Tolerance is reversed so the more you often you use it. The less you need. One time I got a bunch of friends to try it. They only had like 1 cup and I ended up making 1 cup kava to 2 liters. I drank it all. Opps. It was so intense. I had to lay on the carpet. I was spinning and felt very euphoric all over. Ended up driving under the influence. While putting in the key I couldn't find the hole and started laughing. I drove through neighborhoods to take it safe. Got home safely but do not recommend.

so aperantly in Vanuatu the traditional way of grinding kava is to let the virgins chew on them and then spit them out.

i used room temperature water it was pretty cold to the touch.
i got pretty silly laughing w/ my ladyfriend and I felt very little anxiety about, well, anything.
I didn't really get "fucked up" but it was like a mild benzo.
tonight i'm adding more

In the Pacific they only use room ambient temp water (around 80ºF). Sometimes its later chilled before drinking, but only if they are preparing it in advance (i.e. a few hours prior to consumption).

This is on Tanna Island, but not too common anymore. I've seen it happen back in 1999, but was too grossed out to touch the stuff.

very "in the moment". a lot of unexplainable euphoria.
but it doesn't feel... "artificial" like coke, alcohol, benzos etc.
I can just legitimately see that what I worry about most of the time isn't a big deal
what a great plant

There's a kava festival going on at the university here on Saturday, that I'm considering checking out. I'm hoping I can find a source for the fresh roots (which I've heard are more potent and taste much better), or maybe I'll just buy my own plant.
Edit: If you are considering buying it, make sure not to buy too much at first. I didn't mind the taste the first couple of times, but now I can't even stand the smell of it without gagging violently. I tried to give the rest of my kava away to a friend who had tried some of it before (and liked it), but he had the same reaction I did

Not sure. I spoke with someone at Happy Herb Company and they told me about this condition. I believe I also read it somewhere online.
Yeah, 200g would be fine. Not sure about the kava bar - perhaps you could import it for commercial purposes back then.. *shrug*
My two 3-tablespoon kava sessions have been decent. Second one was with weed - went pretty well together. It still feels quite mild to me but it's probably the most potent 'herbal'/legal high I've experienced. Will be using it more as I try to up my meditation habit and get away from the PC.
