Abstract

Seven years after the ongoing ban of Piper methysticum (Kava) by the EU, UK and Canada: Where are we at? In December 2008, articles by the Fiji Times reported that the Kava ban was over-turned. This statement was subsequently revealed to be erroneous and is indicative of the controversy and confusion sometimes surrounding regulatory, safety and efficacy issues associated with Kava.
