gtarman Posted August 23, 2012 Hey guys...thought I'd put up another one similar to my dream-plants thread, but for Kava. I bought some Kava extract tablets (http://www.myhealthstore.com.au/thompsons-kava-2400.html) a while back after hearing some great things about it, but like many other such instances, I found that (at least with this method of ingestion) the hype was not lived up to...in fact pretty much all I experienced was a mild headache, even on much higher doses than recommended. Anybody else have experience with this plant that could perhaps shed a little more light on it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tarenna Posted August 24, 2012 Get the real stuff - not the tablets or the Fijian stuff, but the good strains from Vanuatu/New Caledonia. It is the business. The End. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderIdeal Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) come to the meet bro, there will be instant kava to "discuss". i don't think those tablets are meant to make you feel much, they're supposed to aid with anxiety rather than get you high. i suspect you could "feel something" if you took enough tablets, but they are extremely expensive which may explain why any other form of kava is illegal. as far as headaches, yeah, i feel a bit shady sometimes after kava, which is one of the two reasons i rarely drink it.

spice-of-life Posted August 27, 2012 Is kava legal in Australia? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apothecary Posted August 27, 2012 Fresh, good quality kava is tasty IMHO. I concur with extract versus prepared root. AFAIK it is still legal to bring back 2kg with you from a holiday to a Pacific island like Fiji or Vanuatu, otherwise Schedule 4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
glimpse Posted August 27, 2012 (edited) Tried the Thompsons 1/day for two months after 30 days I tried 6 at one time to no avail, then after 60 days I tried 10 at one time which at 35 mg per tablet should be (i think) about the strength of an average?? cup of Kava brew....... again a big fat NOTHING. I have given myself a couple of months break from any and all medication since but I kind of slightly feel there might have possibly been a very, very minor benefit from taking the dailymicrodose??
