gerbil Posted February 9, 2005 can't help you on the kava, but sceletium just sniff a small pinch up each nostril, start very low and work up. You only need really small amounts 5g would go a LONG way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blog Posted February 10, 2005 I use 1 heaped tablespoon per each large coffee mug of kava I drink. Normally if i'm after an effect, I drink usually 2 cups, sometimes 3. Kava kneeded through fine cloth into cold water in a large bowl. I drink it in party social situations and it's always combined with alcohol and often weed. It's effect is a sort of euphoria when conversing with people. I liken it to speed with it's abilty to make you talk when normally you've got nothing to say or really couldt' be bothered talking. Alcohol plus kava is thought to be dangerous for some people, those not lacking enzymes (my theory) to deal with breaking down the kava maybe. Fijians often drink chasers of alcohol after each bilo, they don't have any sort of dramatic liver illness epidemic going on, but maybe it's because they all do have the (liver?) enzymes to deal with kava.

smogs Posted February 10, 2005 kava strength varies ALOT also how kava is prepared makes a big difference to strength it should be blended for 10mins or so pretty vigourously with something like coconut milk or soy letchin then elft in fridge overnight big difference but generally 1 heaped tablespoon per dose is about right the reason for not mixing with alcohol is that it can increase effects of alcohol 10 fold, which if your already drunk aint a good thing! it puts alot of stress on your liver for starters some of the otehr members here have tasty recipes for kava so wait for them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
