Marco Island’s Kava Culture sells “elixirs” made with kava, kratom and other plant-based ingredients intended to provideadults witha “plant buzz,” according to employee Lily Sullivan.
“It’s super helpful for people who are maybe thinking about not drinking as much alcohol,” Sullivan said.“It’s definitely going to affect your nervous system in a way that either makes you calm or gives you a little energy. It’s not going to be something that’s super intense.”
In addition to their stand at the Marco Island Farmers’ Market, Kava Culture also has a bar atMarco Town Center, where the company sells its products in a lounge setting and is open daily till 2:00AM.
“It’s a cool alternative where you can come to our non-alcoholic bar, sit next to a stranger and strike up a conversation without the pressure to drink alcohol,” Sullivan said. “It’s a super friendly place that has created an incredible base of regulars.”
