My kratom dealer has this shit. It has some decent reviews. It has subtle Xanax like effects. If you take too much, it feels like alcohol. I'll post a review when mine gets here.
Some comments from Reddit and YT.
Kava is a drug with a mild body "buzz" akin to alcohol or weed, but it's less of a buzz and more of a mildly euphoric relaxation. It retains mental clarity, some saying it even gives them focus, while promoting social interaction. It promotes restful sleep, without a hangover after- though some report an afterglow lasting far into the day following use of it.
You can get potent kava online, which will give the most tangible effects, but for most people who expect kava to be a recreational drug on the level of weed will be sorely disappointed. It's more of a mild social lubricant that is best enjoyed in a group. It's nice when you don't have access to any weed or booze or really need to relax without taking a benzo.
It can be combined with a small amount of alcohol for some synergy, but just be aware that the oft quoted dangers of kava and liver damage are only relevant when alcohol is introduced (though you'll probably be fine if you do it every so often). I've also heard that kava and weed is a pleasant combination.
So, basically, kava is in a word "mild". Take it expecting serious results and you'll be disappointed. Go into it expecting nothing and you might be pleasantly surprised.
"There's no intoxication!", yeah ok buddy, just had 3 servings and definitely wouldn't trust myself to drive. On the back of the package it literally says not to operate a vehicle or heavy machinery after consumption.
I just had some and wondering what the hell it is because it f’ed me up but I was able to drive normally
