Has there ever been an RC based on Kava Kava?

Kavalactone seems like a curious thing. Euphoria and relaxation without intoxication, but somewhat weak and easily degradable. Has anyone ever tried doing the usual things that make chems more interesting? Like toss a 5meo on there, halogenate it, I dunno. Or maybe add something to make it more stable? By itself in high enough doses it's not bad, just very unreliable I assume due to oxidation or something. Sure would be a novel compound. And likely considered a lot safer by the powers that be due to the fact you can buy kava tea in most grocery stores these days.

I was the same with kava. Funny thing is the route I first felt its full effects was from a tea I got at the store. It was called kava stress relief from Yogi Tea. I even had 84%kavalactone extracts before that and felt nothing so that's why I am think it must be an oxidation issue. If it could be stabilized and maybe made stronger it would have some real potential!

Yogi stress relief is no joke. It really has an effective amount of kavalactones.
