In my opinion, KAVA has a similar effect to Ativan.

Though KAVA is available over-the-counter, it is quite potent, and an extra tiny sip or two can make a big difference. It is best to use a 5-ml teaspoon to adjust your dosage. Similar to Ativan, it inhibits the thinking process to prevent anxiety. It is a pleasant state, but driving or operating machinery is not recommended.

I use Ativan for my fear of flying, though.

Yes Kava does help, but as with any herbal you must check to see if it's potency is reliable. Being herbal batch to batch variability in potency is still an issue. And don't combine it with any other similar drug. You can OD.

Again, I'll stick with dope. No fussing with 'dosage'. If you can't operate the lighter, you've had enough

Having done 3 different trips to Fiji, and bought the REAL kava freshly ground up from the roots, I can attest to the mellowing qualities of it, sorta like drinking muddy water, numbs the tongue, and puts a nice glow on your attitude. They drink it daily down there, and it's the real stuff not some fake powered in a pill.

I brought home a BUNCH of the stuff, maybe it's time later today to go make a batch for fun.

Buying it from the locals at the produce market, how can you say no to the lady who is proud to claim, "My Kava is Number 1 best!"

"Senga na Lenga" Fijian translation "No worries mate"

WHY YES, yes I do take paypal. Nothing illegal here and it's not a controlled substance so I'll gladly mail you a small pouch.

You put it in a tea bag or piece of silk, and wring it again and again to make the muddy water of joy like Taca is in this photo into their ceramonial bowl.

you can buy it online too for the "good stuff"! Or I can send you my REAL GOOD hand farmers market selected stuff.

PM me if interested or buy some here:

FREE*SHIPPING*::*Premier*Kava*from*Nakamal@Home

Fijian Kava Kava - Pure Premium Ground Kava Kava - Kava Kava from Kadavu, Taveuni, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu. Kava Kava good for insomnia, stress, calming and relaxing.



Traditionally you drink from 1/2 a cocunut bowl, and you chuck down the full whole thing at once, then clap three times, so you don't sip it, you chug about 1 cup worth at a time, after a couple of these you're feeling fine.

Me hanging with the 'boyz in dey hood (Beqa Island)after a long day of scuba diving.

Check out Kulu Bay Resort...the ultimate escape if you ever want to live out your own Gilligan Island remote right on the beach small 7 hut/bures up-scale resort dreams. Pretty cheap too at only $999 a person for 1 week of your own 1200 sq ft hut and 3 meals a day. This place is awesome!

Don't mix it with alcohol, you get a really bad headache that lasts two days. At least that's what happened to me. Otherwise good stuff
