Kava: from a feminist Mormon perspective

[nickbroken]

I was raised LDS, go to church sometimes, currently in the process of converting to Catholicism. I have talked to my Bishop about kava before and he knows I take it for anxiety. He has said that he doesn't think it's against the Word of Wisdom aka foolish rules that make generally no sense. I think you more or less should put whatever you want in your body as long as you harm no others, I have put much worse in my body than kava, hell currently am putting greasy pizza in my body and I know that is worse.

Anything that harms you will probably come to harm someone in your life eventually.

One of the heaviest kava drinkers I know is a bishop in the LDS church here. As far as I can tell, the church frowns upon the consumption of kava, but it isn't prohibited outright and they more or less turn a blind eye in practice.

That certainly seems to be the case for many in Utah from what I can see.
