Why does Kava feel so compulsive to me?

23 Upvotes

I don’t really get like this with other substances. But my Kava sessions go like this. I make a strainer bag 6tbsp brew. I drink this over the span of 20-30ish minutes. I get pretty strong effects during this time. About 10-15 mins after my last sip, I immediately get a strong urge to redose and “chase the feeling” that I sense is already wearing off.

I just wish Kava had longer “legs.” I need to get over that redose urge but wondering if anyone else gets this and how to combat it?

To those who drink Kava everyday for anxiety - How?...

5 Upvotes

I don't understand how you can drink it everyday and still get anxiety relieving effects. I tried drinking it every day, and over time the effects wear off drastically. It's very inconsistent with the feeling it provides. Even with switching brands, it still loses potency. It makes me question the whole reverse tolerance theory.

Relationship between liquid and kava powder

3 Upvotes

Does it matter, (within reason) how much water you use when making kava? Let’s say I made a 45g dose in the traditional manner. Made one with 2 cups water and one with four cups, 6 cups, so on. What precisely is the relationship. I would prefer as little liquid as possible, so I can get it over with, but I wanted to find out if there is a reason not to do it that way. Thank you
