Drinking KAVA KAVA And Smoking Weed

[DrDude]

Hey there this is my first thread hope you guys find it interesting...

For a couple af years now I've been drinking KAVA which is a South pacific Islander drink, that gets you to relax in body and mind, and according to traditional use they say that it helps you have lucid dreams, well as of last year I've tried on and off smoking weed along with drinking KAVA and the effects are truly powerful it seems that they have a synergistic effect, one potentiating the other and the cool thing I found was that you cut down on consumption of both since it just gets you super stoned and super krunked, so you don't run out on both that quick,,,,, So has anyone else tried mixing KAVA with other substances?

Oh.. BTW not a good Idea to mix KAVA and alcohol since you could get intoxicated

kavalactones i think are said to react on gaba receptors and bud will remove gaba inhibition

same reason why smoking while drinking bumps up the anty

Im actually going to be taking a sublingual dose of GABA and some dxm and smoking heavily

i have plenty enzymes to help break down the dxm to dxo which is gonna be a even more dissociative experience

How do you prepare your Kava Kava drink? I have some 40% extract. I'll usually encapsulate 3 grams, but the effects aren't always all that noticeable. I was thinking preparing some sort of drink with fat in it might increase the effects...

is that the same receptor that Ambien works off of?

 

[Unnk]

yes ambien also potentiates gaba by binding to the same location benzodiazepines do in the gaba receptor

awesome. i have heard alot about Kava Kava and Kratom and really want to check them out soon.

There's 2 ways I've tried, one is the traditional way with the whole dried herb, where you blend it with warm water and a bit of lecithin, let it rest for 30 min and then put it through a strainer bag and wring out the the liquid, it shouldn't be boiled cause it brakes down the Kavalactones, the ohter way i've tried is using ice and a hand blender it's kinnda like a version of the bubble bag extraction of hash, but with Kava and I found it makes a stronger kava since you're doing cold water extraction, with KAVA extracts I guess the more you drink the better since its a tonic herb it's ok as long as your stomach can handle it, I would use some coconut cream or coconut oil to mix it, it would go down very well, I've tried my preparations with coconut milk and they go down very well,, but definitely whole herb is way better than extracts since it has the whole spectrum of kalactones and other factors

I use kava on a daily basis and smoke pot and drink on top of it. I think it's a great mix, especially for the stronger more paranoia strains.

I definitely have to agree if you're concerned about paranoia,,,LOL,,, its a great way to chill out,, and have you noticed how after you drowse of into sleep and wake up, you just feel awsome, something happens there where you just get much more stress relief using both than just one or the other, although using weed or kava alone are also great in their one repect

I haven't gone into the details of GABA receptors but will do soon, another thing to consider would be the endocannabinods along the digestive tract and how it interacts with KAVA since you drink it down, this might potentiate other nervous responses

From what I've read KAVA is a lot more effective for stress and depression much more than Prozac, a neuropath doctor friend of mine treated inmates at a local jail, and she gave them KAVA for depression and withdrawal syndrome, and got very good results

oH DrDude! A repp much deserve-ed indeed!! Already some great info derived from the rich community here @ RIU (;
I have In fact just ordered some Kava Kwik from a reputable source (so I've researched). I've never studied the power of the Piper personally, and I am STOKED. Hearing about the chilled effects and anti-anxiety-ness from the RIU Brothers is very reassuring, since there are so many mixed results documented out there.

Cheers!

 

[mescalinebandit420]

well dam. if Cannucks partaking, im gonna have to order me up some too. how much would be a good order? and is there a certain kind i should try first?

 

[CaNNaBiZ CaNucK]

MB, my Good Brother! First I was going to try the paste.. a concentrated 84% kavalactone concoction. Then I decided to go traditional and go with the root powder and brew and filter my own.. and then I even went so far as to consider purchasing the whole root, grinding and brewing myself.. And you know what? LOL I said fuck it and decided to go with the Kava Kwik powder that dissolves nearly completely in liquids. Besides the paste, it sounds like the easiest to dose. If the Piper Methysticum melds well with me, I will try the other products eventually. So excited to see if this ancient relaxer will quell my anxieties. I've tried antidepressants and MJ anti-anxiety strains, but to no avail. I'm sure anti-anxiety meds would work, but there is no way I'm going to risk it with my impulsive tendencies.

MB, I'm not sure how much is good to order for a first timer, as I have heard (anyone feel free to chime in) that building up of the kavalactones over time may be necessary for the desired effect, like many other herbs, and the amount may vary. As a virgin, I ordered 100 grams of the Kava Kwik, which they recommend @ 5 gram doses. We will see.. and I'll report to you my findings if you like when I receive the product.

 

[mescalinebandit420]

Graet feedback guys, myself I just orderd close to 2 pounds of some very good stuff, Called "WOW!" (tongan KAVA) 250gr and white kava 500gr , from my research found the guys at Nakamalathome some of the coolest connoisseurs on the net they even got their own Kava Bar down in Florida, anyway I've done a lot of Kava to the point where your skin starts to peel off on the hands LOL , but it's nothing dangerous it's just the only side effect, but that's only after drinking several months straight about a quart a day, and from what my Doctor friend tells me it actually detoxes the liver, so you can imagine the hype that was done publicly a couple off years back where they came out with some BS liver damage stories, it was only to keep it of the market, in the pacific they drink gallons a day and they've done it for hundreds of years some say thousands, the guys down in Florida get their shipments straight from Vanuatu in the pacific and the good ol' FDA actually quarantine the stuff for a while before they can have it, any way I usually drink like a good half gallon that gets me really krunked, if i'm gonna be smoking I drink about half a quart and then smoke some till I feel really good then top it off with another half a quart, and man do you get relaxed, well more like a drunken, relaxed but clear minded, nothing like it.

Goes to show how powerful FDA propaganda is, eh?

A+ info, Dr. Thanks for sharing!!
