I have tried Kava on many an occasion, in many different forms. I have tried the 84% Kavalactone paste (both pure Kavalactone and Full-Spectrum), 30% extract, Instant Kava, and of course the real stuff. However, this time was a bit different. It blew my mind.

Let me start by saying my preparation method. I began with 1 cup dried powdered shredded Kava, a can of room temperature coconut water (16.9oz), 2 cups of boiling water, and 1 teaspoon of soy lecithin. All were combined into a stainless steel bowl and mixed well and allowed to stand for approximately 45 minutes. After this time I poured the sludge into a strainer bag and manually squeezed out all the liquid into a second bowl. Upon completion of this I took the 'dry' Kava and put it into a blender along with the juice that was squeezed out and blended for 30 seconds. This mixture was then poured into the strainer bag again and given a second squeeze. I divided the yield into two 16 oz. Solo cups which filled them both up to about an inch below the top.

I drank the entire contents of one cup and put the other into the refrigerator for a later time. I slugged it back and nearly yacked but held it back and chased with a bit of grapefruit juice to attempt to push away the taste. My mouth become flush with numbness and the grapefruit only tasted odd.

I went about normal business expecting a mild buzz and sat at my computer looking for tickets to a baseball game. About 10 minutes after drinking I look over to my right and feel a MASSIVE rush and instantly got extremely wobbly. My head began pounding with a weird circular vibration and a strange sound to accompany it. I instantly felt euphoric despite my imbalance. I became incredibly talkative and was clearly krunk as hell to those around me. My girlfriend classified my actions as 'annoying'.

This lasted for about three hours, and I almost vomited about an hour in before I eventually decided to go to sleep. It was difficult to sleep because I was still so fucked up and slightly dizzy but when I did fall asleep it was a restful night.

It was more than enough to get my buzz on but such a dose is something to avoid, especially considering my size. The experience was enjoyable to a degree but the nausea put a damper on that.
