i say nay. this forum learned me a thing or two about a thing or two. without shady lurking in the shadows of the posts, id prolly woulda got some kava, botched it, said fuck it, and gave up. i woulda missed out on this magickal plant and its lessons. ive scoured the internet, and truthfully, the best info on kava ive dug up is on here. viva the kavalounge!
