Anyone every tried kava kava tea or capsules? Do they do anything?

I've tried acid before. that doesn't mellow you out BTW

true...

never tried. Give it a try and let us know. :thumbsup

kava kava is good shit
but be careful, too much kava kava fucks with you

I tried it when i was in Hawaii.... was suppose to give you a buzz or something... didn't do much for me....

I tried it once and it hurt my stomach...

well I popped one of em (recommended dosage)


I'm havin a few drinks though so I can't say for sure if i'll know what its doing.


I hope i dont get a tummy ache. :(

fucks with you how? like, what does it do if you take too much?

I used to use kava. It doesn't do much - it's very mild stuff (it legal, right?). Open the capsule and put it on your tongue. It should make it a little numb.

I've also purchased bulk ground kava - the same shit the islanders use for their tea. It's ok, but really doesn't do enough to make it worth while. Plus, there's reports that kava fucks with some people's livers so watch out.

Currently, I enjoy a good mega dose of valerian for occasional chill-outs.

yes they work. I take them sometimes, kinda smooths out your mood a little.

Postscript:

It was banned in many european countries after a solid link was made to many liver failure cases.

ahk, liver troubble


hottoddy

where do you buy your valerian and how much do you take to get a "mega chillout" ?

giving me a headache so far.


got it straight from hawaii

ehh, pretty worthless.

I can tell you first hand about liver troubles from kava. I was using it a few times a week, but in large doses and it was chilling me out very nicely.

Then it started making me feel weird and slightly off. My doc is a holistic doc and he told me to lay off because my liver count was much higher.

However, in small doses, it's really effective for anxiety or stress, especially in combo with st.john's wort.
