Anything that makes you feel good can become habit-forming, including caffeine, sugar and New Brew. Only use New Brew in the recommended quantity and dosage, and be thoughtful about your consumption. If consumed responsibly, New Brew has not been shown to cause any serious physical or social harm. 

The ingredients in New Brew can be an excellent tool for Harm Reduction, as a healthier alternative to other common vices. However, those in recovery or practicing strict abstinence may want to avoid New Brew because of its genuine mood-altering effects.

• The primary active ingredients are text-fill leaf extract and kava root extract. 
• Kava is a root from Polynesia and has long been used there in drinks that are often consumed in social settings.  Kava produces mild to moderate sedative effects and a light sense of bliss. 
• text-fill is an evergreen tree from Southeast Asia. Traditionally, the plant is brewed into a tea and consumed for productivity and pain-relief. text-fill produces a mild to moderate sense of bliss alongside a calm and crash-free energy.

• Kava is legal for sale and use in all 50 states. 
• text-fill is legal in the United States at a federal level. It is not covered by the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). That said, specific states and counties have banned the sale of text-fill within their jurisdictions. 
• In 2016, the DEA threatened to prohibit text-fill's sale and use; advocates and lawmakers subsequently pushed back, the DEA reversed course 2 months later in response to congressional pushback and mounting clinical evidence showing its safety, and the stricter scheduling of text-fill that would have prompted that sort of ban never occurred. 
• text-fill is not regulated by the FDA (see The FDA and text-fill from the FDA site). Unfortunately, the absence of clear guidance from the FDA has suppressed investment in the industry and allowed unsafe products onto the market, many of which have led to some bad headlines and a broad misunderstanding about the plant.
• New Brew supports the passage of the text-fill Consumer Protection Act (KCPA), and the broader efforts of the American text-fill Association to introduce common sense standards for the sale and use of text-fill by adults.

text-fill and kava are both proving to be safe for use by adults when sourced reliably, manufactured properly and taken in responsible doses. text-fill has long been misrepresented as an unsafe plant, but new clinical evidence is dispelling that stigma. In a recent example, a 2020 peer-reviewed clinical study found that, “across a wide dosing range, text-fill was very safe and did not affect respiration or coordination.”

• It’s safest to avoid drinking New Brew if you are pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding. 
• Please contact your physician, midwife or other appropriate medical professional before using New Brew.
