Stinky, I have not tried using hops as my "green screen" for hash. I will have to give it a go sometime. As for KAVA KAVA, it is wonderful,, and is good for depression and stress. Brew a double strength cup if you use the tea bags. I use raw herb. I get it from oldtimeherbs.com bulk dried herbs product list They are a reliable and friendly company. Also good is "dragon's Blood" aka "Red Rock Opium". Actually it is not opium or even related. The tree is actually related to those luck bamboo shoots that people buy and train to grow in loops and stuff. Dragons Blood feels to me almost identical to Kava. Dreamy, sleepy and stoney.

Peace,
Wolf
