Is Kava Banned In Poland?
Dawid Chajman is a promoter of Vanuatu & Vanuatu kava in Poland. He recommends to everyone who enters Poland that he must be extremely careful and must not bring even one kilogram of kava. He says that you would have the risk of going to jail if you do so. The reason is that kava still remains a highly dangerous drug.
Kava still has prohibited in Poland since 2005. It is the case even though Poland is a complete member of the European Union. He says that the situation in Poland is entirely different from the situation prevailing in Germany.

Chajman gives the explanation that it has done the creation of a very long list of psychoactive substances. And without serving with any kind of explanation, the decision has been made that kava would get listed in a similar category. For instance, cocaine, heroin, LSD, amphetamine, and so on.
In other words, officially the classification of kava happens as the most dangerous drug. There is no permission to do the consumption this drug in any situation.
Technically speaking, through Poland there is no legal distinction between transportation of one kilogram of kava & one kilogram of heroin. So, it is the thing about which the travelers from Vanuatu must be aware.
Poland is the only country in Europe that has such kind of restrictive regulations for kava. Along with this, it is also just one country in the world where if you possess kava. Then it might result in a prison sentence.
As kava has never got so much popularity in Poland. So, there are very few people who are aware of what it is. It signifies that numerous officials are also unaware of the ban. But, still, technically it is part of the legislation. And the penalties are potentially very harsh, so everyone should be very careful.
There was the backing of some of the members of Parliament. And last year they have managed for persuading the official of the Chief Sanitary Inspectorate. It was for issuing a declaration that was in support of the relegalization of the weed. It was actually persuading the Ministry of Health along with the relevant parliamentary committee.
That declaration was extremely crucial. The reason is that the Sanitary Inspectorate has done the analysis of kava. They have found it to be safe and have not posed any kind of significant threat to social or health order.
But, there is a requirement for more political support for any changes to occur. Some people have made efforts for getting in touch with Ambassador Roy Micky Joy. It was for supporting the struggle of people. But, he has not given any reply to the correspondence.
On the other hand, on December 21, 2017, a report from the New York Times has come. It has been stated that in terms of consumption the growth of kava has been rapid in New York in the United States of America.
