Enjoyed the kava tea (just a small portion of kava with other shit) so just ordered me some pure kava root powder and a strainer. I'll comment after I've tried some.

I've tried opium and weed a couple of times. Never got high. Guess drugs are not for me.

 

[Zephyrus]

Weed didn't have any effect on me until the fourth or fifth time I smoked it. Perhaps that's it.

Goddamit last time I smoked weed with my girlfriend we were fucked. It was some model from my neighborhood, the guy who has it looks like a pug and the model is fucked strong. We were fucking done.

Yeah, apparently some people show resistance to the effects for the first few times, but even last time I got a bag of weed out of desperation with my previous failures and smoked all the 4-5 joints I had made (in a row!) but still nothing.

 

[KafkaX]

I hear people say they dont get high the first time they smoke...Not me...Oh not us...We were really REALLY high...

 

[Baroque]

Sativas ONLY for me. I can't stand indicas. The numbness freaks me out. I want to feel in control of my limbs at all times.

Indicas only for me. I think too fast/much as it is. If I have a Sativa my mind just goes bonkers and sometimes I get paranoid. I like to feel calm and relaxed instead of my usual fast self sometimes.

Got the kava- it pretty much is as advertised. You get a nice body relaxation, but no affect on your mental facilities. The taste is rather bitter and the sensation in your mouth is mildly reminiscent of the doctors office due to the numbness.

I tried making the straight tea (water + kava + strainer + let it soak for a half hour) but the bitterness killed it for me. I found that adding milk and cinnamon gave it a rather enjoyable taste and have been drinking it that way. I haven't had it but a few times so far, but supposidely it has a reverse tolerance- the more you get acclimated to it the less you need.

 

[Draehl]

Definitely reverse tolerance. Been drinking kava a bit more lately and only takes a good half glass to get a bit of the buzz. I recommend brewing a big batch in a pot of boiled water with the ground root and then mixing in some of the more palatable tea bags of the kava tea Yogi brand makes and some honey. Chill it in the fridge and actually rather good.

A big glass of these combined with the endorphins after lifting weights or running gives you a mild euphoria and strong non-sleepy relaxation. Great for just sitting around listening to music.

I used to drink tea with a mix of kava, sinicuichi, and sage and then smoke weed with it. It would make me super relaxed and spacey.

Sinicuichi is like weed, but all upper and no downer. There's no hazy forgetfulness or that kind of expanded thought process. By expanded I don't mean better, just less linear and tied down by logic.

It also makes sound a lot more saturated which is great for listening to music. The only issues with it are that it has a bitter taste that can cause nausea, and when it really gets going it can dehydrate you really fast and cause muscle tension throughout the body. On a regular basis I'd get too relaxed and lie down listening to music and wake up with little cramps throughout my body.

I actually ended up scoring some Kava last week.

Some dude came up to me and asked if I drank it, I said Ive never tried it and he ended up gifting me a fair amount.

How much do you use per serving? And do you need to strain it?

 

[Draehl]

I've never really measured. Just drop a decent amount in hot water, let it sit 20 minutes then strain it. It is very bitter and tough to drink at first. Definitely mix with another tea and/or honey.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

So i said fuck and decided to give edibles another shot. Went for the indica and deca-dose cheeba chews ... and nothing. Same goes for this one ...

there is no way real potheads can get high off these bullshit edibles. Flowers ftw.

 

[Nephilim96]

Edibles just flat out don't work for some people, doesn't mean they don't work at all.

Has anyone tried Ayahuasca before? It's apparently supposed to be the most intense high known to mankind... http://www.attn.com/stories/2261/ayahuasca-might-help-treat-ptsd

 

[SentinelSlain]

I think I would smoke weed again but I suspect I might end up going completely paranoid and end up institutionalized.

You have to smoke it with a few close people. I have not smoked it in awile. It's still illegal besides a few places. I have a warrant out because did not pay my fine for my DWI. I was driving with a suspended license when I got it and almost had to do 2 years. Aslong as I do not get arrested it will not matter. So I do not worry about it.

The potential to get arrested at any moment doesn't seem worrying at all...

I would like to.

Smoke by yourself. If you ever get enough experience, you'll start to realize people can't tell as long as you act normal.
