Kava Curious
Hey cats,
My father recently got into instant kava and told me how it's "alright" and proceeded to explain he would mix it with water and chug it all at once.
After discussing a bit more he realised he should be taking it over time in a "Session" and commented on how much better it was.
I experimented with doing the same thing, chugalugging a sessions worth and then continuing the usual sessions the next day.
I find that while a chug will hit hardish, it goes away very quickly and doesn't seem to reach the same "peak" i'll get if I drink it normally.
Do we happen to know why this might be? I was hypothesising it may be due to the small intestines only being able to absorb a certain amount at a time before it passes through- although that wouldn't explain why doing the same with alcohol gives you full blast effects.
It's almost like kavalactones need to accumulate over time for the most potent effects to come through, one of the many mysteries of kava I don't understand, there is also potentially the psychosomatic aspect of "listening to the kava" in which you almost don't have time to settle in and really enjoy the session if you have it all at once.
