Hello Fine people of the Kava forums!
This thread falls into a couple categories, one as an introduction and also as a question that references the title. I've lurked the forum for a while as many before me, and been consuming this wonderful plant for about two years. Just recently been poking around at different strains and am completely amazed by the vastly different experiences/feelings that can be brought on. It can be truly thearaputic, or used as an intoxicant for a lack of a better word.
This Kava community truly embodies what Kava is about. A simbiotic relationship between vendors offering fantastic products and a community that keeps them in check. It's great to see businesses that are passionate about what they are doing! So BULA to everyone!
Now on to the main course! I believe due the nature of Kava it has stayed off of the radar of what people would consider mainstream. As it gains more popularity in the US I'm afraid of more restrictions being put in place for a lack of understanding on what Kava is to the public. When hearing of Kava bars popping up I tend to get mixed feelings. I think it is wonderful that people are being introduced to Kava but at the same time apprehensive about what may come.
I'm not sure what would be best. From my own knowledge I don't believe there is much regulation in the US, even if there was who would be the best option? I'd just hate to see a place bring negative attention to Kava by serving uneducated patrons Tudei Kava.
Also how is Kava perceived by law inforcement if they even know what it is? I'd have to assume that they would treat it the same as alcohol.
Maybe I worry too much, just curious on others opinions.
