I've gotten at least 10 people to try it without even asking them. They read my college research paper on it asked about trying it. Some bought it online, some came over and drank it with me. One guy (#11) heard it from two other friends that have had kava with me and now he wants to try it. Non of my immediate family will touch the stuff...one of them can't. He drinks, smokes, and takes all kinds of prescription drugs for various things.
