    Why drink when you can use kava kava instead? It’s alcohol, but with less nausea, significantly less toxicity, less potential for interaction with other substances, and no hangover. Why wouldn’t you?

      Probably because if they consumed it the same regularity/frequency it would be just as toxic. Kavalactones will build up in your liver with daily use.

        I wouldn’t say just as toxic. I’ve found it can lead to dermopathy, a skin condition, and indeed liver damage (which isn’t unusual), but not any seriously life-threatening condition. Kava is, by all means, safer than alcohol.

    “How the fuck do people sleep sober?” …

    Weed before bed was the KEY to quitting the bottle for me.

    and black market variance was the key to quitting weed.

    I’m sure if it was legal here I’d find a high CBD strain or something.

        Quality control

        You’re not gonna get good stuff all the time and if you don’t like maximum THC that’s gonna be most of the time.

        I’d probably not have quit if I could’ve just got a consistent CBD strain honestly.

    If you’re drinking brandy out of a bottle why not just buy E&J Gallo? It’s around 20% of the price and any nuance is lost when drinking out of the bottle so higher price ≠ higher quality when drinking from the bottle.

    Hennessy also sucks until you spend car +rent payment levels of money. There are always better smaller Cognac producers
