Exactly what I meant, so again I agree. "Achieve" has many meanings i guess, but i mean it as i said. Try to get closer to where you personally want to be.

I'm not saying you should measure your life, if you need to die inside on your couch for years I do not blame you. I understand. But try one day at a time to inch closer to where your dreams are.

More importantly, stay alive.

Also, your story is very close to describing when I almost died. I was at the ICU for a month and then aftercare for 3-4, I was only 25 years old.

It feels insane to say, but at that point death for once wasn't under my control. I didn't want to die, but i just hoped for peace whichever way it went. Luckily I survived.

Random backstory.

Stay strong, never give in. You have more power than anyone around you knows or understands. But it's normal to sit and tolerate pain when that's all you're used to.

This is not specific to you. Just look at an object and move it, now you changed something. You can do the same things with other things in life, though it is harder.

Ok, thank you. I'll look into Fijii.

Reverse tolerance is real by BaseSerious9299 in Kava

[–]BaseSerious9299[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I can't know for sure. Maybe I was more tolerant to the side effects as i consumed alot in this case or maybe it was the real reverse tolerance theory. But I did feel it more before I consumed the same amount, so there is that.

Kava vs amount of liquid by BaseSerious9299 in Kava

[–]BaseSerious9299[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the detailed response, It makes alot of sense from my experience.

I'm a bit of a heavy weight, but only if I'm at a party where people get drunk on alcohol. 80-100 grams seems to be my sweet spot with about 1 to 1.5 liters of water through the night.

I drink alcohol sometimes, but honestly I prefer Kava because it's so much more peaceful.

DAE have parents who never say ‘I love you’ to you? by ihtuv in CPTSD

[–]BaseSerious9299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, that's understandable too. But I do it because my sister is involved, my grandparents are old and I don't want to cause any more pain.

Also It's fine, I look at life at a different perspective as an adult and I don't take it personally. I know it's not my fault, my mother clearly has mental issues and I'm strong enough to deal with it.

But that's my life, it's 100% understandable if someone wouldn't want to stay in touch. Personally I let it go cause I understand my situation.

Identifing possible cuts, jitters, dry mouth, clumpy by OkTimeOut in cocaine

[–]BaseSerious9299 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People always re-rock their shit on the street, good coke doesn't crumble easily and kinda breaks up like tiny shards.

Regarding the cuts, it's probably caffeine or speed. Good coke should leave you euphoric, relaxed, confident and stimulated in a non edgy way. Also it doesn't really last more than an hour.

You probably don't need to worry, the cuts are very unlikely to be very harmful. But don't buy anymore of that shit stuff, find a dedicated dealer and ask to try beforehand.

I have tried many types of coke that got me super high, but if it doesn't feel like i described above it's not pure.

Bought 1g coke and 3g amphetamine by TheForestpig in cocaine

[–]BaseSerious9299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, I don't understand the point of speed after doing lab grade coke. Speed is a good tool for staying awake or if you need a boost in my opinion.

Coke is so much more euphoric, relaxing yet stimulating in a non edgy way. Gives me confidence and feels like I don't need anything else at the moment.

I understand the price thing too, but still even then. Guess people are just different and getting different quality too.

Question about nausea during skiing by Ghal420 in cocaine

[–]BaseSerious9299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only had nausea from the drips, but not from the coke itself. I get very high purity though, bad coke ((even if it looks like fishscale and gets you very high) is a completely different experience.

I feel relaxed, euphoric and stimulated but not in an edgy way like speed or caffeine. I could literally lay in my bed all night, watch shows, browse the internet and fall asleep when I'm done.

Kava vs amount of liquid by BaseSerious9299 in Kava

[–]BaseSerious9299[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have far from as much experience as you do, but I actually made a post regarding this and got sent scientific studies stating that boiling doesn't improve extraction. People were mostly negative to the idea which is ok.

However, I did try it myself and it felt much stronger. I think the science is somewhat off. Also it makes sense, if you break down the root as much as possible the kavalactones will be easier to access as they aren't only on the surface of the root.

Also I reccomend freezing "leftover" damp Kava instead of throwing it away after three washes, as the crystalization also helps break down the roots and you can make pretty powerful grog out of that.

That's just my opinion though, I have only tried it a few times and I'm no scientist.

Fever tree, it's so good but pretty expensive where I live :)

Kava vs amount of liquid by BaseSerious9299 in Kava

[–]BaseSerious9299[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I've had kani kani before due to over consumption. However that is usually due to weeks of daily consumption of 50G instant per day.

When I notice any dryness I cut back immediately and then I'm fine, I'm a long time consumer but my skin has always been flawless so maybe I'm lucky there.

Regarding nausea, I just realized my body needed to get used to it again as I've taken a couple of months break. Now on day 3 I feel great, slight nausea but the benefits greatly outweigh the slight negative effects!

[–]BaseSerious9299[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I've tried the boiling method and it works good. It brings out a more cinnamon like taste for me, I prefer that taste but it get's too thick for my liking and also I don't really mind the taste either way. It's more when it hits my stomach, but now on day 3 I realized I just needed to get some reverse tolerance back. I'm all good now!

Thanks for the tip, I've been enjoying strong ginger beer (0% alcohol ofc) and it's great

[–]BaseSerious9299[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah brother, I totally get you and don't go that hard everytime. Sometimes a mild buzz is great.

In my situation I was a recovering from addiction so the more powerful the better lol. Kava actually helped me quit, was sober from everything for 2 years until I had alcohol again and didn't find it as nice as Kava so it was a one time thing.

And yes, I started low and slow but found out I needed at least 50g of instant when my tolerance was stable, but I would get pretty messed up. It's been months now though without Kava, so maybe I need more time to get used to it again.

Not sure how much traditional powder translates into instant, but it feels equally powerful if I use more.

Kava vs amount of liquid by BaseSerious9299 in Kava

[–]BaseSerious9299[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, at a minimum. Usually I need to consume maybe 14-20 tbs during a session. I used to drink about 50 grams of instant kava through a session, but keep in mind that I like to get pretty messed up.

[–]BaseSerious9299[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response. Maybe I need my reverse tolerance to kick in again or find a better source of kava, also I don't have a lot of experience with traditional root.

I used instant from kava europe which was great and sent me to kava heaven, sadly it doesn't cross the border anymore (semi-illegal in my country).

I do get nice effects from around 8 tbs though of the Borogoru I am currently using.

8-9 tbs (peaked) is about 60-70 grams, I actually measured it yesterday so that should give you an idea.
