For what it's worth, some borderline kavas can be OK in moderation. Kava Vinaka Waka looked pretty dank when I tested it, and it had a real strong Pine Sol smell. Might have been adulterated with tudei (or maybe not). To be sure, I tanked wayyy too much in a short period of time just to see if it would give me that old timey tudei hangover. It didn't. It was just a beast kava, sort of like the old 11 year waka that had orange acetone tests.
Some medicinals will also test orange. These cultivars may very well contain hazardous levels of whatever the bad stuff is: flavokavains, pipermethystine... Nobody knows yet what makes orange in acetone. However, medicinals are not something you drink all night long... they're more of a special-use kava when you want to get all shamanic. 2 or 3 shells and you're DONE. I've never had hangovers at that dose.
