I thought I would share the new experience I had with Kanna tea.
I bought a different type of Kanna known as Smokers cut. It isn't powdered but its more like roots, stems its cut nicely though made for smoking or for chewing it and for making teas. I will tell you the effects I had from chewing and then the effects I had from making a tea.
I had bad Kanna, Sceletium from a bad source once and it caused me to feel anxious, tense but now I have a better source . I am dissapointed by the fact that none of you are able to get your hands on proper Kanna from South Africa. The effects are astonishing I would say that the stimulation and mood boost are at times a cleaner and smoother ride than both Cocaine and Amphetamine without many of the side effects thought the Euphoria isn't so intense.
This is a herbal compound that I think has both strong Therapeutic and Recreational value and It is herbal Stimulating, Energizing in the same sense as Coca leaf but it has some strong Antidepressant effects way higher than that of St. Johns wort and they have done research Sceletium is as potent as some of the tricyclic antidepressants such as Imipramine. Sceletium Seems to cause Anxiety on the come up but that generally fades into Relaxation.
ok Here is the effect of Chewing Sceletium I put about .2 to .3 grams of Rough cut into my mouth sublingually. This is the traditional method of using Kanna. Main Trip lasted 2 hours and 30 minutes but the antidepressant effect and mood lift lasted 2 to 3 days after dosing.
this is at 7.30 in the morning
Rapidly I started to feel effects
7.35 AM I feel energized mentally and a clear feeling, like a fog lifted and like Mental Fatigue lifted. This was nearly instantaneous as soon as I started to chew and suck on the Succulent. Kanna is known to relieve Mental Fatigue, Stress, Both Mental and Physical Fatigue.( I also notice it can keep you running more sharp when sleep deprived or running low on sleep and infact some of the active chemicals in Kanna are PDE4 inhibitors and do reverse Sleep deprivation somewhat)
7.45 AM I start to listen to music it takes on a cleaner sound like the way it would sound after doing some amphetamine or cocaine like its clearer. My senses are sharper at this point too Colours seem to glow stronger, Music is enhanced but not as intense as Cannabis though. Music sounds nice though and I am enjoying it more
8.00 Am I notice an increase in Energy stimulation physical and mental . I also notice Muscular Relaxation. I notice a bit of Anxiety, its like an MDMA come up. I am still listening to music. Tactile sensations are enhanced at this point too.
8.05 AM I head out of the flat. When I leave my apartment and I am walking outside my perception changes, The sunlight is glowing a lot stronger. Everything is clearer , I also feel a bit more connected to nature. Like when Sober I wouldnt notice the trees, flowers, my surroundings as much as when on Kanna and everything around me is glowing and it looks beautiful. I would describe this effect as being somewhat psychedelic but not as intense of a perception change as Shrooms but somewhat comparable to the head space of Cannabis if anything a bit more psychedelic but without the fogginess of a Cannabis high.
8.15 AM the only thing that sucks with Kanna especially when Initially starting to use it you feel good but there is always a slight to moderate feeling of anxiety on the comeup but its weird cause you feel wired but good at the same time, Its almost like tweaking. After using Kanna for a while you build tolerance and the anxiety come up diminshes. Right now though I feel good I also still feel the come up.
8.30 AM the come up diminshed. At this point im in class and I was in the library ( just for 10 minutes try to print something) and I am feeling very social and socially disinhibited though not like drunk .Conversations flow very easy as I am talking to my professor. There is a feeling of well being this is the most intriguing part of the Kanna experience it gives you this natural feeling of well being, comfort.
8.30 AM to 9.30 AM Visually when I look at things my senses are still sharper. I see more colours everything is brighter. I am able to concentrate on my tasks at hand a lot easier and my thinking is clearer and im experiencing no racing thoughts, and my mind is sharper, I would even say reading comprehension, concentration are increased.
9.30 Am to 10 AM the Stimulation fades further into Relaxation and a slightly sedated feeling.
the next 2-3 days still everything outside appears brighter and my senses are enhanced and my mood and emotions are uplifted , Energy levels are higher, I feel more positive.
I wont write a tea report as the main difference is that the Tea is more potent and way more stimulating than the chewing method. The tea also induces way more anxiety on the come up and the come up is longer. The tea the effects last 4-5 hours and The uplifted mood lingers for a few days as well. The tea is also numbing like Kava you feel it in the back of your throat.
More notes, Kanna increases your endurance( one of the reasons people used it in south africa to be able to walk long distances in arid conditions) and i weight train a lot after using Kanna my perception of pain is diminshed as well and I swear I am able to exert my self at least 10-20 percent better in the gym it also seems that exercise increases the effects of Kanna by what mechanism i do not know. So if you take Kanna in the morning and exercise later on the Kanna high comes back.
Caffeine and Kanna have a nice synergy though it can provoke anxiety at times. It is very energizing both physically and mentally
Kanna also when initially using it the first two weeks you notice more of anxiety and come up anxiety as a side effect and Insomnia as well due to the stimulation but its not severe insomnia more so minor. These side effects diminsh after a week or two.
Kanna relieves physical pain, at least the perception like im sore after my workouts but i dont feel it as much. Kanna does the same thing with Hunger it seems to diminish it too
though if ur very hungry after exercise or so you will eat. But i have gone from the morning till night on Kanna without eating anything and I felt okay.
It diminshes Hunger.
The worst side effects of Kanna are come up Anxiety and Some Insomnia and it seems to linger so the next day you wake up and you will feel the trip again so you might wake up a little anxious like a slight come up that fades into relaxation again though less intense its hard to explain but Kanna has some SRI properties and it lingers in your body like all SSRI or SRI antidepressants even though its herbal.
Combinations
with Alcohol it intensifies the social aspect and you feel better more Euphoria
with Cannabis the weed high is stronger by at least 2-3 times it has a synergy
with kava Kava extract it is an amazing Anxiolytic and Antidepressant combo can make you feel a bit too happy and worry free though
I think if kanna is combined with Xanax in low doses or low doses of Valium that would feel amazing. Like pure relaxation with Pure stimulation.
I think that Kanna could help out significantly with Depression, Moderate anxiety, ADHD Cocaine and Methamphetamine and Amphetamine withdrawal as these withdrawals have a lot of fatigue and irritability, Depression which Kanna could lift as it has energizing and stimulating properties.
I tried Amphetamine and Cocaine and Honestly I would say Kanna maybe its not as enjoyable as good cocaine but its way better than any synthetic stimulant out there.
