Let me start from the bottom. I'm not really a drug user, but I did used to smoke a lot of cannabis. I eventually stopped because I didn't wish to get arrested. I then found a reputable harm reduction website with an Experience Vault and discovered the natural, legal highs that I can get. After reading a couple of reports, I decided to try out Kava.

I live in a small town, so I didn't really expect to be able to find any. A trip to Ralphs proved me wrong when I discovered a Kava tea that was being sold there. I bought 1 pack containing 24 bag of kava tea. Each bag contained 60mg of kava at 30% kavalactones. It also contains catnip which may have altered the effects. Having decided that 60mg was too little, and anything over 200mg would be too much, I decided to brew 2 bags for a total of 120mg. I have an extremely low tolerance to cannabis, so I thought that it would be the same for kava, and it was. I ingested the citris flavored beverage after brewing for 10 minuets. Immediately after taking the first sip, I noticed my tongue grew numb. I then chugged down the rest.

At first, I didn't notice any affects. Feeling like I had been ripped off, I sat down and began to watch Akira. Then, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I started to feel REALLY drowsy. It's not that my limbs felt like they were heavy, like with cannabis, but more like it felt so good that I didn't want to move them. This 'buzz' continued on for 30 minuets, getting stronger each minuet. I then gave into it and fell asleep. This is really amazing for me because I suffer from severe insomnia and have tried to use things such as Valerian Root to help me, but to no avail. This was the best sleep I had ever gotten in my life. I woke up feeling slightly disoriented, but overall really euphoric.

Since then, I have used kava many times with each time being just as effective as the last time. So in closing, kava has cured my insomnia and improved my grades at school.
