Hi Everyone as I live in the S Pacific (albeit New Zealand) I use natural ground kava and filter it using a genuine Fijiian bag. I probably take it in large quantities. The effect for me is very mild, particularly compared to alcohol which is like a chemical cosh. I beleive it's been hyped up as a hallucinogenic, etc etc, by frightened breweries. It was deemed 'a problem' when introduced to Australia, but introducing alcohol to Fiji was thought of as "OK". All one can say is that the colonial spirit is alive and well.
