Kava Kava

[Gratefully_dead]

Hey all I bought some Kava Kava from a local helth food market and I don't know if i can take it internally cause it says external use only on the bag so I'm wondering if it'll give me any effects if i were to smoke it or drink it in tea or if it would be bad for me if anyone can help itd be greatly appreciated

Kava Kava is safe to make tea with. I have smoked it with noticeable effects but I don't know the full effect on your lungs. When you get the roots (not extract) the potency is very random. I would try making a cup or two of the tea with 1/2 to 1 oz Kava Kava. It also seems to get absorbed much faster if you freeze and thaw the root a few times before making tea.

The high is similar to a benzo. Ive heard that you can trip on higher doses but Ive never tried this.

i agree with MFD---------i have always had good effect from freezing and thawing doing this mutiple times over a span of 2 days..........then massaging the kava through a t-shirt or some sort of filter..........bla bla you know......cold water n all............

i've never once had a bad experience with kava. this is by far my favorite ethno, i usually buy the capsules from the health food store and take about 6 to start. they are 70% kavalactone capsules, i've had the paste and the flavored drinks. kava is no sub for mj but there is also no sub for kava. also you have to take it a few times before you will get the full effects, there for awhile i was taking enough that i started to take less and less kava to get off. it's quite nice but you do have to redose a few times to make a night of it. enjoy!
