At 6:30 pm, we ate a teaspoon of the oil, washing it down with plenty of water. There was a momentary mild queasiness as it hit the stomach, which passed quickly. Seven minutes later, the first effects began, with a mild wave through the body of relaxation, and mild euphoria. Further teaspoon doses were taken at 6:45 and 7:00. The pleasant effects continued to increase in intensity, and were not unlike a large dose of codeine, although with some numbness and tingling in the extremities. There were some mild visual effects, with the world taking on a kind of sheen or glow.

two five two-thousand-one: I have been taking it the last two nights to help with my insomnia. It has worked well. It gives me vivid dreams, and they are very violent sometimes.

three twenty-eight two-thousand-one: The Kava experiment has ended. All other experiments have ended. I am feeling better now.

four thirty on four thirty two-thousand three: the paxil experiment ended some time ago. I am truly feeling better now. I am a better citizen 92% of the time. My teeth are more minty fresh and I am a better father to my children. I can make a difference. I am citizen. I am consumer. I am a silent majority. I am the minority in my own house. I am 1/3 overruled. I am the peasant. I will bring you poisoned bread. I will shoot you in the head. I am better. Yes.
