Kava

Anyone familiar with it? The Southeast Asian drink. Looking for some first hand testimonials as I'm going out with some friends who are gonna brew a few batches.

Had some in Fiji, tastes like what it looks like, muddy water. Kind of gives you a weird head buzz for a bit but I think I'd probably get sick before I drank enough of it to "enjoy the high".

Is the taste that bad? lol.

No, it doesn't taste terrible, it tastes like muddy water. Which I imagine tastes really watery with a bit of earth in it. I didn't say it tastes like shitty water - just mud.

it tastes like nasty coconut water with extra strength gym socks

I've never tried the stuff, but I've seen enough family members and people in the indo-fijian community to know that it is awful. It's muddy water that tastes like muddy water. And the high you get from it isn't really a high, it just sort of makes you numb throughout your body. I've seen too many slobs, wasted, pathetic old men sitting around for hours drinking the shit, neglecting their families and anything good in the world, to know that I don't want anything to do with it.

I would stay away. Studies in recent years have linked kava kava use with liver damage. It's not conclusive yet but it should make everyone be cautious. I used to buy it in suppliment form cause it was a good way to mellow out after a stressful day.

Just smoke a J. Tastes better and it gives similar effects.

It's pretty gross. It tastes like dirt and will make your lips numb/tingle. The effects are nothing spectacular. It'll slow you down a bit so mixed with alcohol can be mildly entertaining.

Mix with something that is fat soluble. Milk+Protein shaker work.
