King Charles drank a narcotic kava brew at a welcome ceremony in Samoa. His Majesty sat at the head of a carved timber longhouse where he was presented with a half-coconut filled with the root drink, which is a key part of Pacific culture and is known locally as "ava". The King was also declared a "high chief" of the island at the ceremony. Report by Kennedyl. Like us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/itn and follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/itn
