Barandine Vondenger Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Kava (Piper Methysticum), a member of the pepper family, is one of the most fascinating of medicinal plants. Native to the South Pacific, a beverage (also called Kava) made from the rootstock of the plant has been used for centuries in ceremonies and celebrations because of its calming effect and ability to promote sociability. The kava beverage is still used today by inhabitants of the island communities of the Pacific including Micronesia, Melanesia, and Polynesia. It is thought that the frequent consumption of kava is partially why these people are referred to as the happiest and friendliest in the world. Okay I went to see a VET about a old mean mule and what to do about it. he said I should give that old mule some KAVA KAVA to keep that old mule from being worried pure snake mean all the time about stupid stuff like running out of hay and corn and the barn leaking and falling down from disrepair. THE um VET said iffen that um' ol' on'ry mule takes that stuff he'll feel better and show it. KAVA ain't supposed to be addictive like them other mule sedatives. Does the mule get immune to it after awhile? I sure hope it works for that old mule. he got to pull a wagon Wayyyy up a hill and back down it too all week next week. . anybody ever use any stuff like that on your um, farm animals?

schmee Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 kava is one of the most mild drugs i've experienced. i used to take kava pills (over the shelf, available from any drugstore), but gave up those kinds of herbal supplements ages ago. i once too a trip to a fiji resort island and ended up shooting pool with the natives most of the time, and with each visit to the village i was treated to homebrewed kava. once again, an extremely mild experience to the point i could barely notice the effects. but the village was one of the most calm, social and happy people i've ever met. --_ ______________ _ "Self-awareness is the key to your upheaval from mediocrity."

doug osborne Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 When my kids were small, their daycare was provided by a grandmotherly Indian (East Asian) woman. She hosted the wedding of her niece from India, here in southern California. It was a colorful, sense-stimulating three-day celebration, and my family was invited. The first day was social - lots of great food and getting to know people. While my kids ran around with their kids, and my then-wife was in with the girls doing girly things (not to be spoken-of, apparently), we men were outside doing guy things, and imbibing from a large bowl of homemade Kava Kava brew. I can say that it had an interesting effect. Not like alcohol, or pot, but a pleasant combination of a mild stimulant, a mild relaxant, and a mild halucinogen, imagine a combination of chewing coca leaves, eating a hash brownie, and taking a few 'schrooms (not that I have any direct experience with any such thing...). Like a lot of fun things in life, this probably should be legal as long as you are not imposing it on others or driving while under the influence, but too many people too high-up make too much money from the war on drugs to permit this. Come to think of it, it doesn't seem to be illegal, probably because it's not commercially produced. Doug Osborne Music on Bandcamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
