Holy anxiety batman!! 
This is not my first experience with kanna. I have experimented with it in the past, not extensively, however I NEVER got effects like this!! I ordered both regular powdered kanna as well as a 5x extract from a particular website owned by a forest animal that enjoys bouncing. My plan was to try using the extract as a snuff, however it has the consistency of a tar/resin, so that was deemed impossible. I should also admit that I used some kava kava earlier in the day, didn't have any discernible buzz from it, however it was certainly present in my system to some level. I highly doubt it had anything to do with this experience, however I can't prove that.
I pinched up a few balls of the 5x extract resin and smoked them, producing no noticeable effects. I looked in the mirror, pupils looked normal. I remembered last time I tried kanna, it made my pupils dilate a little bit, regardless if I felt it or not. So, very soon after smoking the extract, I dumped some of the powdered kanna leaf into my bowl and smoked it. I held in the hits, finishing off the bowl in about 3 hits. It doesn't smoke very well for a powdered leaf, it's quite hard to get good and lit. Perhaps this leaf is on the fresher side hence not burning as well? No clue. Either way, by the time I finished the last hit, I was noticing a absolute shift in consciousness. I got excited for a second when I started to feel definite psychoactivity, possibly resembling the very very very very first hints of a 'serotonin something' happening, like feelings I only experience with mushrooms, MDMA, you know, serotonin stuff, for lack of a better word.
However within seconds this excitement faded into anxiety, and I suddenly noticed that there was A LOT of 'something' going on inside my brain, and whatever it was, it was far from pleasant! I noticed everything in the room take on a washed-out contrast like someone just turned the brightness up on a TV and also turned down the sharpness so everything got slightly blurry and 'dreamy'. I've seen this before, I knew my pupils must be rapidly dilating. I also noticed music suddenly was sounding more crisp and 3D. I looked in the mirror and my pupils were GIGANTIC as if I was rolling balls! I started to feel extremely anxious, jittery and queasy, like a caffeine or kratom overdose. My heart started beating fast and hard, I felt terribly dysphoric, started getting rapidly nauseous, and began pacing around the room trying to talk myself down. I also noticed some jaw retention. I kept looking in the mirror and my pupils seemed to be getting wider and wider, like I was coming up HARD on MDMA. I was legitimately frightened. What have I done?
I took a gulp of water and layed down in bed. The nausea subsided a lot when I layed down, and the anxiety and dysphoria started fading too, almost as quickly as they come on. Within minutes I felt safe from puking, so I got up and quickly loaded myself a bowl of really good cannabis. I took one good hit from it and felt instant relief. From this point forward the kanna awefulness quickly faded into weed awesomeness. I kept feeling slightly anxious and jittery for a bit after, I started writing this trip report, and now by the time I'm finishing up I feel pretty much just stoned and nothing else. Very slight headache might be coming on, I'm about to down H2O like it's going out of style. I feel pretty drowsy and my pupils have returned to normal. WOW that was a ride! 8(
What the hell? I've never read about anyone getting such effects from smoking kanna.... Most people seem to think kanna can do no wrong!
