A friend should be giving me some to try soon. He said it made him feel mildy 'drunk' in a way, but much clearer. He said he was pleasantly relaxed and calm. I'm interested in hearing what poeple have to say about it as well!

it makes you more social, relaxes you both mentally physically, but it doesn't give you energy like coffee

Just a little relaxation was all I got. But I'm pretty relaxed usually anyway.

I vaguely remember doing it.. i don't think I got much out of the experience, or didn't do something right. To long ago to really remember.

The one time Kava worked good for me I loved it, I was in a happy bliss. It's never been willing to do exert an effect on me again tho, kinda screwy.

I bought a bag at a local healthfood store, it was the last one they had left, she told me that it was being scheduled. I dont remember the weight but I made a brew, it tasted awful, so I tried to mask it with anything I could find. I got it all down, grits and all, I really wanted to feel something. From what I remember there was a great relaxation, my mind quieted down quite significantly. I became easily fixated on anything, a trance like state. I almost got to the point where I couldnt move, or at least I didnt care to, being content doing nothing best describes it. Another time I made a brew and went to a friends house and was very social, it was a strange substance and I really wish it was easier to get here. I think you can buy capsules with the kavalactone in them, but Im skeptical as to the potency.

I've tried it numerous times as a sleeping aid.
I hated the stuff. Not only did it fail as a sleep aid, but I also felt no intoxication, whatsoever.

i bought the remaining bottles a few years ago on the shelf at walmart. they cause liver damage so they've been taken off the corporate market. i used them for awhile, it's similar to dosing low with benzos - drousy, dreamy.
really nothing great, although i does help with anxiety. but so does a beer and i'm not even a fan of drinking

Hey like yeah I know something about this! Firstly lets breakdown dose levels into "Supplemental" and "Therapeutic" (tripping); 1."Supplemental"; Fijian and Hawaiian Kava available in vege-capsules from Cielo Herbs Boston (I've tried these, hit on a least 3/day for a real dose) 2."Therapeutic"; use the root and boil it well it's a great trip (and hallucinogenic in high enough doses). Kava was recently put under "voluntary" ban by the E.U whilst it undergoes further study (?) because some people were taking large numbers of supplemental dose tablets/capsules and "damaging their livers" -?-. It is an anti-depressant, social lubricant, relaxant, aphrodisiac, anti-inflamatory -?- and "narco-hallucinogen" (yeah, crap ain't it!).
