Does a medicinal dose of kava impair driving? A randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study.

Conclusion: The results indicate that a medicinal dose of kava containing 180 mg of kavalactones does not impair driving ability, whereas 30 mg of oxazepam shows some impairment. Research assessing larger recreational doses of kava on driving ability should now be conducted. PMID: 23259514 [PubMed - in process]
