well other herbs may help, i've found nothing that gives the euphoria and chillness of the herb... sorry dude.... maybe walk around the park and find someone? I know it sucks, I've moved into towns with no hookups before. Just walk around parks especially when it gets later and you'll probly find someone. And then just take joint or spliffenwalks.

You can get opium poppy pods online, sort of a legal gray area when it comes to them, but I'd advise against it, you don't want to wrestle with opiates.

I second that. I got dry blotchy patches of skin all over my body that itched like crazy, even below the recommended dosages.

Sounds like an allergic reaction. Remember Not everyone can ingest everything. Be careful with your experimentation!

i was a little itchy but all i felt was my mouth being numbed and i did 3 times the recommended amount the second time and it was the same feeling.
 
There are companies that do co2 extractions, bliss! I feel like it messes with my hormones though...

A heaping tablespoon with some lecithin cinnamon and maple syrup blended for 5 mins unfiltered gives a killer narcotic buzz though.

Always go thru a reputable company. Kava kava is a liver toxin if its not harvested right.

Kava is fun. It gives me a "high" similar to alcohol. I love the taste too. Simmer the shredded roots in whole milk, strain, and enjoy. :) Each sip numbs my whole mouth. Be careful; it's easy to overdo it.

Kava was helpful for me when I was trying to cut back on drinking. I'd come home from work and have some kava instead of beer. Now I'm used to being sober most nights of the week. Kava is just an occasional thing now.

it tastes like dirt and beer.

I like it. It has sort of a social effect. You just plain start talking.

Lasts about an hour.

I met one of the distributors from Hawaii, who distributes it on the Pac. Coast. Guess it's a root plant.

I have an ounce ... near life-time supply.

I guess the islanders have more involved recipes, but ...

one pint warm almost hot water
one tablespoon Kava

Mix & Drink.


Still tastes like beer & dirt. :woohoo:

From my box of Kava, stress relief tea:

Stop use and see a doctor if you develop symptoms that may signal liver problems (e.g., unexplained fatigue, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, fever, vomiting, dark urine, pale stools, yellow eyes or skin). Not for use by persons under 18 years of age or by pregnant or breastfeeding women. Not for use with alcoholic beverages.

Just thought I'd share this.

Papavier Somniferum is available in most nurseries in seed form. They're beautiful flowers & legal to grow until you get caught ingesting them. "Oriental Poppies" are the same but they have hairy leaves. Though, I for sure wouldnt want this for simple relaxation due to the addictive nature of these plants.

Daga Daga or Lions Tail is the African alternative to cannabis. It's related to mint and produces copious amounts of flowers. The flowers can be smoked and produce moderate euphoria and sever cotton mouth. It's the closest to a cannabis experience I've had without using cannabis. It can also be made into a tea.
Order some and see how it affects you. If it does the trick for ya, get seeds from Seeds of Change.

I believe the risk of liver damage is minimal with kava root. Alcohol is far more damaging liver wise. Alcohol isn't bad either if you can stick to moderate use.

Kava has a lot of the same risks as alcohol in terms of intoxication. I wouldn't drink it and drive.

Mixing the root powder into a drink gives it that "dirt" taste. The taste is a lot better with shredded roots simmered in milk.

I'm resurrecting an old thread. Deal with it.

I've been curious about Kava since I read the book "Getting Stoned With Savages" by J. Maarten Troost (great book by the way) and made a small order from Kalm With Kava to test it out. I got the instant/micronized Kava for convenience. Directions say mix 2 tsp into any beverage. You can also get the medium grind root which you brew like tea.

I've read some people despise the flavor and say it tastes like dirt, but I love earthy flavors so I don't think it'll be a problem. Not sure what to mix it with though any advice? If you live in a major city check out if you have a Kava Bar! I hear they have been popping up lately.
