“A lot of people use it for anxiety…kava appeals to health-conscious people who maybe don’t like alcohol, or people getting sober from alcohol.”
“In a lower dosage of kratom, it acts as a stimulant,” adds Victor Boynton, bar manager at The Root. “At high dosages of kratom, it acts as a sedative; it’s going to be very relaxing, it’s going to be the best for pain relief, it’s going to be the best to help you get to sleep, and it’s going to be the best help with opiate withdrawal.”
National Institutes of Health-sponsored studies confirm kava's anxiety-reducing, calming effects. “Recent studies suggest that kava and its key phytochemicals have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects, in addition to the well-documented neurological benefits.
But regular consumers may not have to consume that much kava; there's anecdotal evidence that it builds reverse tolerance in drinkers, meaning the more you drink, the sooner you’ll feel the effects. “I’m guessing there’s a small buildup," says Boynton."They need some time to build up beneficial compounds in your body, and then your body sort of knows what to do with them.
"And while kratom is addictive, it’s not the most addictive thing in the world. I’d say that caffeine is more addictive than kratom is.”The Business, a kava bar chain with 25 locations across the U.S. that's owned by Palm Beach entrepreneur Dylan Harrison, all the kava bars here are independently owned, and the owners all know each other.
In keeping with the community vibe, Gnieski keeps the Karma House open from 8 a.m. to 3 a.m. Monday through Thursday and then 24/7 throughout the weekend. During the day, the vibe is similar to that of a coffee shop, with people working away on their laptops and students buried in their textbooks. Then around 7 p.m., the crowd swells, becoming more social and chatty. Some nights, a dance floor appears.
None of Colorado's kava bars serve alcohol, and many bar owners adamantly refuse to even entertain the idea. “I would never own a regular bar — not in a million years," says Irvine."It’s not that I personally have anything against alcohol; it's just that I don’t want the issues that come along with alcohol. In the five years that I’ve been open, I’ve never had a single physical altercation.
