Kava + THC - Dark Chocolate Bar

Kava (Piper methysticum) is a shrub native to the South Pacific Islands, where societies have cultivated it for various cultural practices. Its rootstock is usually harvested, ground into a milky pulp, and then filtered to make a beverage with a wide range of relaxing psychoactive properties. Today, it is common to find this sacred drink served in kava bars, but the plant has also been used to make other products, such as capsules, powdered root extracts, and mixed drinks.

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 with kava products domestically via an airline if the medium complies with Transportation Security Administration (TSA) standards. However, we do not recommend traveling abroad with kava products.

Although individual experiences vary, one universal effect of consuming kava is a tingly, numbing sensation on the tongue. Enthusiasts have also reported feeling stimulated, euphoric, and carefree. Therefore, kava’s effects are often compared to those of alcohol, with less acuteness and no hangover. The active ingredients in Kava, called Kavalactones, interact with the body's GABA receptors and CB1 receptors to produce these desirable effects.

When consumed in moderation, kava poses very little threat of physical danger. However, if you have a history of liver problems, are taking prescription medications, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are drinking alcohol, it is not recommended you take kava. If you are getting treatment for a medical condition, consult your doctor before trying kava.

The two main varieties of Kava are Noble and Tudei. Both have been used in the Pacific Islands for a variety of purposes, but their kavalactone profiles and effects vary considerably. For our products, we use Noble Kava as it is believed to be the highest quality and safest form of kava for regular consumption.

Delta-9 THC is a compound naturally found in the cannabis species, including hemp and marijuana. It is one of over 160 cannabinoids and the primary psychoactive component in the plant. Because of its structure, Delta-9 THC can interact with a receptive network in the human body called the "endocannabinoid system," producing enjoyable effects for many individuals who consume it.
