Cameron George knows more about kava - including the confusing myths and truths surrounding this somewhat controversial plant - more than anyone I know.

Cameron has been a previous guest on the show "The Natural Drug And Alcohol Alternative That May Transform The Future Of Mental Health: Everything You Need To Know About Kava With Cameron George.", and as you'll discover, he's a fascinating guy.
We go on a walk and talk discussing topics like:
- There is a spectrum of kava effects - expressing one characteristic more than the other
- Reverse tolerance effect of kava
- What can kava be mixed with?
- Ben’s current position on the use of plant medicines and the whole psychedelic phenomenon
