Reverse tolerance means that over time you become more sensitive to the alkaloids. Salvia is this way too.

Scaly skin doesn't sound fun though. How regularly do people here use it without experiencing any negative side effects?
nah man.. untrue.. the liver problems were thought to be a problem until they figured out it was manufacturers that were using parts other than the root to make the kava powder. and the yellowing of the skin is only when used a lot for a long time. its really a very safe substance.

I drank four cups last night. I mixed it with a big, nasty B-Vitamin because I heard long use depletes B12 vitamins or something. this was definitely the strongest high i've gotten from it yet. but it still didn't last as long as I wanted it to. seriously, an hour to an hour and a half was all it was. a little glow afterwards, but I was a little disappointed. but still, it was stronger. You think B vitamins affects kava at all?

if i bought some kava kava from a local herb shop and it was powdered it said 'for external use only' on the bin we got it from.
It was like $5 for a sizable sack, so i bought it and i was wondering if i just need to add a few tablespoons of kava kava to water and drink that or is this not 'instant kava'

after using about half my kava i decided I cant drink it anymore. I seem to have some really weird reactions and day after hangovers. I generally feel good on the kava but everytime at some point i just want to puke, no matter how slow i drank the concoction. and the next day i feel fuzzier than if i would have smoke a quarter oz by myself and get up the next day. seems to effect my mentality for the next few days, cant concentrate, feel off, and it gives me really bad static vision

i'm also noticing that people say its good for headaches, but occasionally i develop headaches from drinking it. is it the godawful taste or just that i haven't ate enough food before i drank it?

Has anyone tried 100% pure grape juice (fresh) as a mixture? Its pretty good at covering up most bad flavors.

Orange juice works well too. I heard that vitamin C has a chemical reaction with whatever is in the kava that makes it taste so bad and oxidizes it so that it leaves the drink. Whether or not this is true it does seem that any juice with high vitamin C content works good at masking the taste, almost tastes good (I add a tablespoon and a half with a cups worth of juice and blend on puree for 2 minutes, strain through a mesh filter and drink).

Do you guys drink down the powder and everything? I keep reading these elaborate extractions where you strain the kava repeatedly through a bag with oil and lecithin to help extract everything. Is there some reason people don't just drink the powder along with the water?

I put the powder in the strain and strain out all the nasty shit. makes it a little easier to drink.
I've yet to try a big dose on Kava b/c of the taste. my next recipe shall be milk and ice cream. if its good enough to drink down, i'll drink 6-9 cups.

dosed some kava. i used vanilla bean + milk. guess what
it still tastes like shit. Grape juice turns out to be the best of what i've tried. but I'm in a very euphoric state. I'll be sad when I come down =(
well my kava is gone now. I won't be trying it anytime soon unless I travel to Fiji or the taste starts getting better.
