The root of a plant from the South Pacific that has mild psychoactive effects. The root was traditionally chewed, but is now ground and sold world wide as tea or in capsules. It acts as a mild sedative, and is used as an herbal remedy for anxiety. It is also used in traditional ceremonies in Hawaii and other Pacific islands. Although there has not been significant evidence, there have been claims that kava may cause liver damage.

roots of a kava tree ground up into powder and mixed with water to create a drink. Kava is very poular in Fiji and has mild effects such as numbing and slighty diziness. But if drunken in large quantitys has very many of the same effects as pot. It is a muddy brown color and tastes lik a mixture of dirt and water because it basically is.

A drink made from the roots of a plant that's quite popular in fiji and the south pacific.
Its more of a social drink which pacific islanders take to merry-make @ social/tradtional events
Muddy brown in colour and quite sour and nasty-tasting. If you ask me, its absolute crap! Why anyone would wanna drink it is beyond me!

a very popular drink in Fiji, commonly made with in a big bowl and is served to special guests in the country.
I tried kava when I visited Fiji and didn't like it very much. I thought it tasted like murky water with a hint of grass (or vice versa). Don't bash me for this, I'm just stating my opinion!
