I'm interested in things
This article just came out about how kava is still very illegal in Poland:

In Poland, kava is the equivalent of a US Schedule I substance. You can go to jail for possession, etc. It seems it was included in sweeping legislation about "legal highs" and designer drugs by legislators who really had no idea what it is.
But another interesting thing in that article--that I was not aware of--is that there is actually a campaign to legalize it in Poland, with a Polish language Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/legalnakava
..of course the picture of the Polish Pope, John Paul II, drinking kava is displayed prominently on the page.
