There is 1 thing that many forum members here dont know about kava stems (the bad stuff). The picture for the ebay one i've posted clearly shows unpeeled stems by its color, its a different kind of dark (greenish black type). You also can have really milky and nice colored looking kava also being 100% stems and branches. Those are peeled stems and branches which are referred as "white kasa". It looks good but is still bad for health in the long run. Countless exporters here use that to reduce their costs and make more profit off their sale or barely make profit since the importer isnt prepared to pay a good price for the kava. Im not trying to discourage but your main concern with fijian kava's shouldnt be with its nobility - it will always test noble with stems and leaves too. You should be more worried about the composition of the kava something which is very difficult to identify.
Snort it ... what else?
I'm not so sure peeled upper stem is toxic... or at least I haven't read anything scientific that says so. It's the leaves and peelings that are definitely to be avoided.
Hahahahaha. How absurd. I remember when I used to work at a health food store there was a lady who would buy "oxygenated water" for her cats. It was like $5 a liter.
hahaha
We just pour kava on our problems now.
That would be a funny, albeit tragic, comedy skit. People pouring Kava on bills, parking tickets, divorce papers, lab results...
What.
Oh i assumed it was toxic.. But that has been the main component used as fillers for export here in fiji from what i have seen. There are some that use unpeeled ones but again its hard to identify from looking at powder only. Veterans will be able to tell through potency of the kava i guess
Seriously using kava to chill out tangles?
