Some kava strains are described as more relaxing and sleep-promoting, while a Tongan strain is described as more dopaminergic and nootropic. Mild to moderate doses are described as subtle and background-enhancing, while higher doses may be strongly relaxing or sleepy.

Different kava strains are said to have different kavalactone profiles that influence subjective effects.
