I haven't used kava in a long time. When i did, it was mostly socially. Or recreationally. Or religiously. Or whatever reasoning some Fijians use to justify drinking way more kava than i reckon God intended. Come to think on it, i never saw any reason to ask. ;)
I find kava stimulating; it helps keep me focused and alert. So i did use it sometimes when i needed to work all night, and stuff like that. I've heard of people using for insomnia but that isn't how it works on me.
Again, it might have something to do with dosages. The first time i saw capsules it made me laugh. My portions are "handfulls" not tablespoons. I guess if your body is naive to the substance and you're pretty clean otherwise, then it could have a noticable effect. Just because i can't imagine it doesn't make it not so.
I have no idea how your preparation method effects things. Believe it or not, i LIKE the taste of kava so i stick with tradition.
Anyway sometimes the more posts a topic has, the more attention it gets, so maybe i'm being helpful by attracting people?
