Flavored seltzer mostly, but in the winter I like some oolong and/or camomile tea.
I do like a beer sometimes, but have to be careful because the combo can raise the effects for me.
I looked into kava a bit, but it seemed pricey to me. From what I read, you want to use good noble kava powder which seems to be around $30-40 for 4 oz shipped. I was worried that if I really liked it I'd be into yet another high priced herb.
It can be costly depending on where you buy it but you can get it for a lot cheaper than that and very high quality also combined with cannabis you can actually just fit a relatively moderate or small dose send to a certain time of the day and get a substantial complementary effect without having to break the bank.
Personally I like discipline at times and go on wild fenders as I have been of late. As if 50 100ug Lsd tabs in about 55 days, I was mixing it quite heavily with admittedly unnecessarily large doses of good quality kava and cannabis there is synergy and potentiation between all three of those.
But with a better and more disciplined lifestyle situation which I'm working towards I'm sure I could reduce my carbon consumption heavily and still be very satisfied with the balance of of herbal mixtures while maintaining a lower dependence on and higher enjoyment of cannabis.
It's just getting new to a new substance and having a honeymoon period for a start but then also learning how to dose accordingly. I can share a few good sources Ive come across so far, just hit me up anytime bro.
Its still way cheaper than eaither an alcohol, or tobacco habit. And far from being toxic, very medicinal in many ways. It particularly works on the consciousness because it leaves you with a clear head unlike alcohol and even cannabis and you can drive on it with no test to detect your environment just don't admit to it although you remain pretty functional until you are highly intoxicated.
It's just a very interesting herb to me which I've been enjoying to a higher degree.
