Sadly, I am trying to stay away from weed for a few reasons: 1) It's too damn expensive. Especially where I am. 2) Smoking (even thru a vape) is bad for my throat. 3) It makes me loose some IQ points the next day or two depending on how much I did (the scariest time was when I plain ol' had a memory lapse before my physics final--thankfull it came back a few hrs before) Anyways, good ol' mary jane was good for my depression problem (which was very serious at one point...sadly) as 1 smoke per week would set me for a good week. I dunno if any1 else is on depression medication, but the stuff is horrid. Either it knocks me out or makes me wish I were. Thus, I'm thinking of trying Kava Kava. From what I've read it's used for depression and anxiety and can be very very relaxing at higher doses. However, I hear it's damaging to the liver. Other places say that say the root is not harmful but the leaves/stems are. Anyone know?
http://www.erowid.org/plants/kava/kava.shtml I've personally had a Kava liquid extract. It was in a 6-8 oz bottle and didnt taste too much like ass. It was weird. It is very relaxing. Dont worry too much about liver damage. Theres tons of info on erowid about the controversy. if you're using it in excess, then you'll have problems... just like any other substance. edit; this page should help http://www.erowid.org/plants/kava/kava_health_liver3.shtml
Yeah. My habit of smoking 4 times a day, every day is pricy. like 80+ a week pricy.... but it's important to me - so it's worth it.
i've had kava straight from fiji. it was the powdered root. it makes your mouth go numb when you drink it and if you drink a lot you get fucked up. but it looks like dirtwater and can taste like it to if you dont mix it right.
Aside from that I can't smoke. Like I can't afford to smoke anything for other reasons. It's more of the smoke and the fact that it temporairily lowers my IQ (i have hard classes schedueled daily). I ordered some root from iamshaman. I hope the root isn't bad for the liver.
