LMAO... Kava is a Pacific Island drink similar to a tea but served cold - it is made from a plant - and I am told that in the islands it is a compliment to tell them it tastes horrible. There are claims it is better than medication for treating anxiety. I just wandered into a place today and they had it so I tried it.
Again, apparently the worse it tastes the "better" it is per the folks who have drank it for centuries. What I had today did indeed taste like crap. I was also told it would numb my mouth and it did. Interesting that 'zona said it gave him energy - most of what I have read and what the girl who served me today also said indicates most people feel mellowed out by it. I have heard that many people who don't like to drink alcohol like Kava because it gives them the relaxed feeling drinking can give but without the impairment and without a hangover the next day. There are also some allegations and indications it causes severe liver damage (also like alcohol). What I tried was gross and mouth numbing and I guess it relaxed me a bit but I am not sure if it really effected me or not.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
