I have not tried Kanna unfortunately (I wish I had a good domestic vendor like you and I don't feel like ordering any off the internet right now)
I have 'suntheanine' brand L-theanine extract that is 100mg per capsule. It definitely works although sometimes the exact effect of it is hard to pinpoint but it seems to be very anti-anxiety oriented. The other night I took one before going out drinking and after 5 beers or so I just wanted to walk around and tell everyone how amazing they are and I had absolutely no social anxiety.
the bottle says 'promotes relaxation and well being' and 'reduces stress' and i'd agree to a certain extent.
I'd recommend it but I wanna try kanna because I have a feeling it's a much more powerful feeling. (albeit not exactly the same)
I don't have any place to buy L theanine around here but when I get the chance I will try it out.
Kanna, Sceletium Tortuosum its awesome like I can't say it will fix tension and anxiety 100 percent but it will reduce it by at least 50 percent. Its calming and soothing. Especially when you start using initially the first month if your suffering from anxiety you will notice dramatic improvements. But then after using for a few months like me the regular Kanna powder that I use reduces anxiety but its not as great as when you first started. Essentially you have to take breaks here and there.
By the way I mostly use regular Kanna powder not an extract and I dose almost everyday its mad, kind of like a caffeine addiction but I consider Kanna so beneficial to my life at this current point that I wont stop using.
The extracts of Kanna now those things are strong even for me, like I have a certain tolerance to Kanna but when I take an extract times 15 strength the extract its as good as Cocaine and Amphetamine:D
because you feel careless on the extract omg its an awesome feeling and you feel tweaky, speedy but calm and Euphoric at the same time and you virtually dont know what anxiety is anymore and social anxiety ceases to exist as well as any anxiety about regular life stressors. The Antidepressant effect of the extracts tops all Pharmaceutical grade Antidepressants and I would even compare it in strength to Benzodiazepines but its more of a Natural high.
Essentially when you take an extract you feel good and people can see a smile on your face. The same thing with Regular Kanna you feel good and people notice it they notice that your a generally in a good mood person.
But like I said for mild and Moderate Depression and Anxiety its awesome( Regular powder) for higher level of anxiety you should consider strong Kanna extracts.
It is mildly addictive at least to me and the feeling of Kanna tops Kratom any day for me at least.
Kanna is so so anxiolytic in nature a magnificient succulent indeed and I just figured out about it the past few months I use it a lot cause I am more of an anxious individual at times severe and Kanna helps me out.
Other effects I noted are increased Tactile Sensation, a strong Body high, Sedation , Increased Libido, Increased Appreciation of Music, connection to Nature and Mood after glow or an afterglow effect where you wake up the next day feeling different but in a good way
I had sex on Kanna and damn it was so good it increased my performance and I also had a heck load of a better of an Orgasm and better Erections. I have to mention this it felt great, this is at strong Kanna dosages.
I was mostly using Sublingually and Orally, Lately I started to snort the Kanna powder regular not the extract and its a rush but like a rush of anti anxiety, Euphoric, Stimulating Effects are amplified when you take it nasally highly sedating mentally it turns off all your mental activities, It felt good and very effective. Nasally stronger effect shorter duration.
It is an very interesting compound of more note it has a synergy with Alcohol and Cannabis
I just take a few tokes and I get high like stoned I take less hits and I am stoned due to synergy.
It increases the effects of Alcohol like you get somewhat drunk of 3-5 beers.
Mad effects
:D I am looking at the computer screen talking to myself and Laughing my ass off at nothing. Listening to music and observing the amazing colours on my computer screen.
gotta love shrooms
