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.

A wonderful blend of roots, dirt and water... producing very mild hallucinogenic effects and a buzzing feeling of euphoria.

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.
