Sorry if this doesn't belong in ED, but I figured since it's compared with MDMA in most TR's I read, I figured it's an appropriate conversation to have with the rollers! Yes, I UTFSE and BL surprisingly doesn't have much on kanna. No threads less than half a decade old anyway. Erowid has some good reads though.
I ordered a couple botanicals from a well known Shaman site, just out of curiosity and boredom really. I read up on kanna and the common consensus seems to be that it's comparable to a low dose of MDMA. When I saw that many people saying the same thing about it, and also reading that not only is it not neuro toxic, but potentially neuro PROTECTIVE!
So my order came in the mail and I bumped 100mg. I thought I felt some action going on, but nothing too beyond placebo. After a while I proceeded to smoke some on top of good cannabis. I'm not sure if it was the smoked hit or the insufflated hit, but I suddenly got a huge serotonin rush, very similar to the initial onset of MDMA!! I looked in the mirror, and my pupils were actually dilated! I couldn't stop giggling at dumb stuff, smiling, not crazy euphoric but enjoyable for sure. Colors appeared sharper, lights very bright, I was getting butterflies in the stomach and even felt some body high. It started fading after a while, so I tried snorting a bit more, I also tried smoking some more and it quickly evolved into a very unpleasant headache that I still seem to have today.
I read that just the right amount of kanna will get you off proper, but it's easy to overshoot the "right amount" and from there on it's very unpleasant. I think that initial rush I felt was the intended experience, but when I got greedy and tried to re-up, the negatives all came and then it immediately turned into a very post-roll-brain-fry feeling. It's also worth noting that I was very tired, but stimulated WAY into the night and early AM, long, long after my last hit. Couldn't sleep for shit and woke up feeling like ass. I still have a headache. I actually feel like I rolled last night.
It seems many people get better effects from some routes while others from different routes. Some swear by sublingual, others say insufflating, some say smoking is least effective and some say it's most. All I know is I got the rush after smoking, however that could've also been the insufflated dose kicking in, I read it can take a little while. I'm about to snuff 50mg and stop there. Perhaps that'll get me what I'm looking for.
Anyone else have experience with kanna? Any info you'd like to share?
Thanks!
