Kava-Kava ~ Piper Methysticum

"The dried root and lower stems of this South Pacific Island shrub were usually chewed and fermented with saliva and coconut milk for ritual and ceremonial occasions.
A mild narcotic, the sacrament generated warmth, camaraderie and tranquility.
Nobles used it socially for pleasure, the priests for ceremony and the workers for relaxation. Kava-Kava was also used to enhance psychic powers, to communicate with ancestors, increase inspiration and to assist contemplation.
... Kava when chewed on, is an excellent stimulant for study (and dancing).
When consumed in large doses, Kava seems to assist photographic memory for a short time.
Kava is often referred to as an aphrodisiac for the delightful numbing tingling sensations it may arouse in the genitals."
(from "Happy High Herbs" - the book by Ray Thorpe)

Government ban these drugs because they want to control the people in everyway and for their own ends. Yet they are quite happy pumping people full of chemical anti depressants which in essence destroy the bodies natural healing process!! It's all about control and money, we are just the guinea pigs for the sick merry go round!!

too much of anything is bad. but kava is pretty benign and has lots of benefits. i'm an ex opi-addict, and opiates fucked up my insides pretty badly. i always feel like i have to go pee, even after i've gone. it is horrible, i can't drink alcohol or caffiene or spicy foods or sugar cuz they make it worse. the worst part is trying to fall asleep. i've been like this 3 months and kava actually takes that feeling away and helps me get some sleep.. so it's wonderful but like anything don't abuse it.
