I naturally view kava as a food, and not a medicine, even if my use of kava could be considered medicinal. I'm hesitant to bring it up, I think cannabis is a great example here, many people where I live consider it a medicine. Say, two out of three people claim that. I say it's a food. In fact, medicine should begin with our diet in any event. That plant has an equal number of uses in the kitchen as it does in medicine. And kava does too! Anyone who uses coffee as a stimulant is using coffee medicinally, and anyone who likes the flavor of the bitter coffee bean brew is enjoying it as a food and beverage. If you are in both categories, you swing your position to err towards what you are supporting at the time, whether it be for or against. it will balance! I'm sure of this.
I appreciate that Dennis McKenna took the time to use the phrase, herbal remedies. Was his brother Terence? Today I learned that Dennis McKenna is still living.
