10:45 Begin eating hamburger
11:01 200mg 5-htp
2ml kava extract 25mg

kava is almost immediately sedating and euphoria accompanied by tingling of extremeties is mild but noticeable. in extract form it is taken orally under the tongue then swallowed so it is picked up by salivary glands and metabolized quickly in the stomach.

11:10 euphoria is disruptive and slightly disorienting, but not debilitatingly so. the effects are still mild

11:15 2ml kavaextract 25mg

11:25 having trouble keeping track of time now. fun. :) laughing out loud for no reason.

11:30 2ml kavaextract 25mg i feel like i have to act normal. i'm on the outside. it's cool. 5-htp hasn't kicked in yet, but still fun.

11:50 100mg 5htp/b6 tabs

12:12 frustration that i'm not getting anywhere with this. Fun effects are virtually gone.

12:30 delayed reaction time

12:43 my music sounds clearer

1:15 valerian tea taken. sleep

NEXT DAY

I feel well rested and have a sense of well-being. I recommend KavaKava in a social setting, but it's not mind-altering to any noteable degree. At least not for me.
