Kava

Kava, or Piper methysticum, is a plant that is native to the South Pacific. Traditionally, its roots are harvested and ground into a drink consumed for centuries by Pacific Islanders, especially during cultural rituals and ceremonies. 

Around the world, however, kava is often used in daily routines for its calming and relaxing effects. It can be found in herbal supplements and infused into indulgent edibles, which effectively mask the plant's bitter taste.

The active compounds in kava are called kavalactones. Kavalactones are responsible for the psychoactive effects of kava, which include relaxation, comfort, and mild euphoria. These compounds work by interacting with GABA receptors in the brain, which help calm the nervous system. 

Yes- kava is legal. As of this writing, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) does not recognize kava as a controlled substance, nor do any state governments. 

That means if you're 21 or older, you can legally enjoy kava and have it delivered to your home. You should be safe traveling domestically by air with kava products if the airline complies with Transportation Security Administration (TSA) standards. However, we do not recommend traveling abroad with kava products.

Compared to the more intense tudei kava, noble kava has a milder, more pleasant taste and is known for its calming, relaxing effects.
