The War on Kava Continues in Australia: http://www.donotlink.com/www.thecourier.com.au/story/3017860/kava-consignment-intercepted/?cs=2452
I am wondering where these communities get the money to pay such ridiculous sums for kava from. I assume that those who argue that kava drains their wallets are right. BUT, that is mainly because of the prohibition. As indicated by this article, 1kg of medium grind kava an cost $10,000 (this is obviously an exaggerated amount, but still, kava is certainly way more expensive in northern australia than pretty much anywhere else in the world). If kava was legal in northern Australia, the local communities could buy annual enough certified noble kava for a year or more with this much money.
