I have a few grams of 15X extracted Sceletium Tortuosum, Kanna. It is a AntiDepressant Succulent Herb from South Africa. It is a lot more potent than St. Johns wort.

I wrote a few reports on it but I will write another on it. My herb I got is straight from South Africa. It is potent. If you get good Kanna the anxiolytic effects Rival that of the Benzodiazepines. The Antidepressant effect Rival Prozac.

The effect of Kanna is unique in that lower dosages provide Mood lift, Energy lift, Feelings of Calm and Serenity whilst Higher dosages result in Inebriation with Hit and miss Euphoria and a subsiding Sedation.

Mood lift and Anxiolytic effects are always noted. Euphoria is noted too, but not always. The Euphoria is unique and very pleasurable on Kanna making Kanna even slightly addictive Psychologically. It is rapidly acting It is kind of like a Herbal MDMA it works as a PDE4 Inhibitor and a SRI.


My trip report today:

0:00 - I took about .2 to .3 Grams of Kanna powdered. It is extracted X15 potency.Used it sublingually and then swallowed.

0:15 - Muscle relaxation noticed a increase in Anxiety noted, Sweating increased Pupils dilated.

0:30- transient increase in Anxiety still present and Senses are starting to become stronger now vision, hearing. Music sounds more pleasurable I am more focused and concentration increased. Stimulation is present. Jaw clenching is present.

0:45- Mood lift noted, Increased Energy, Feeling Happy, contented. Feeling calmed down. The calm feeling on Kanna is a strange one, it is on Par with Benzodiazpines if anything it is stronger than taking 1 mg of Xanax. It is a natural calmed down feeling without impairment of judgement, memory and speech and a feeling of peace and also a connection with Nature is noted as are feelings of Empathy, A introspective state comes up now too. Where you will start to think about different issues etc. During the first hour of Taking you will notice a Rushing sensation.

1 hour mark- Muscle relaxation continues, transient Anxiety still present but its slight, Anti Depressant effect evident, Sociability increases( you tend to seek out conversations and they are more enjoyable ) , Irritability decreases, Energy levels are increased. Things that are troubling you seem lifted, you have a feeling of not caring.

Between the 1 to 2 hour mark- I feel a calm feeling, like everything is okay. I feel happier more energized. I also notice Analgesic effects of my head and body. Muscle tension is reduced, Headaches are gone, There is an evident Body high with muscle Relaxation its very nice it has a hit of Anesthesia too. As my teeth are feeling numb. I feel numbness over my body. I still feel stimulated and with the body Numbness I notice a strong Appetite Suppression. The tribes in South Africa used Kanna for Tooth extractions, as an Analgesics and as a Sedative. Transient Anxiety is gone.

2 hour mark to 8 hour mark

The stimulated feelings are gone, Some slight sedation can result. I still feel the Appetite Suppression, I feel the Analgesic effects and the Anesthetic effects. I notice the Appetite suppression is stronger when I am moving. Kanna was used by Shepards walking the dry arid conditions in South Africa to suppress Hunger and thirst. I notice it does a damn good job. I have gone through a day with just one meal when I dosed a strong dosage of Kanna. It also leaves you with a distaste for food especially in the initially 1 hour to 3 hour mark of the buzz. The Anxiolytic effects are still felt.

After effects -

The next day you wake up in the morning filled with greater energy both Physical and Mental. You still feel that your mood is better than usual.


Remark-

Kanna, Sceletium Tortuosum. In that is not Hallucinogenic. But it has psychedelic qualities. For example after I take it and I walk outside in the park. I would notice colours increased in intensity of Nature , The environment appeared different, Beautiful , I would look at awe and amazement with the Sun light shining through the trees, I would look at the people walking around everyone going there own direction , everyone has their own purpose. I felt perplexed by this. I saw beauty in the world , the Natural world we live in , and I felt a calm a peace of Heart, this type of feeling is unattainable by Xanax or Valium. This is a special Anxiolytic effect, Kanna has Empathetic effects. An introspective state is noted. I feel increased resistance to Hunger and Thirst when I consume Kanna and I notice an increase in Physical and Mental Endurance.

It has a strong Synergy with Cannabis and it can enhance the psychedelic effects of Cannabis it makes your Cannabis more intense and Energized and the mOod lift is even more potent. IT cancels appetite increasing effects.

Like the psychedelic effect of Kanna is the come up on a dosage of 1 grams of Mushrooms.

Kanna, Sceletium tortuosum is unique. To have a good effect from the Substance and to attain Euphoria and Empathy, Psychedelic effects from it as well as Anxiolysis and Mood lift . First you have to get Kanna from South Africa and at that you will get good quality Kanna. The best Kanna grows in its Natural habitat ,South Africa.

Second the first week of taking Kanna you notice it has an effect because it acts rapidly.But it takes a bit of priming which means you have take Kanna everyday at least for a week or two and then you will get the effects I got. I got intoxicated on it but this is in the second week of taking it. The first week you notice Mood lift and Anxiolysis but the full spectrum of Effects Anesthesia, Analgesia, Psychedelic Calm, Empathy, Euphoria, Stimulation, Anti Depressant, Anti Anxiety. Are better after a bit of Priming takes place.

The effects of Sceletium Tortuosum are pleasurable in fact more pleasurable than Kratom for me and it mixes well with Cannabis reduces panic attacks, paranoia and all that crap on weed some people get
 
It also acts as a PDE4 inhibitor. I notice it increases your feeling of Mental alertness, Concentration and Mental Clearness its another strange effect and this also shows it could be used in ADHD.
Its a buzz but a clear one.
I would recommend this herb to anyone wish people had my Product though.
 
Kanna's some nice stuff. A friend recently gave me a smoking blend of different herbs to try, it includes some other actives but I think Kanna is the predominant effect, it's very uplifting and euphoric, and the empathy was surprisingly pronounced for something I'd always heard referred to as a very mild herb.

Have you ever tried combining it with opiates per chance? I noticed smoking the blend on a really small dose of Codeine's peak sent me into the strongest nod I've ever had (I was on other drugs too but it was only after smoking the blend it hit me so strong) and I was wondering whether the Kanna was partly responsible, since I'm trying to ascertain whether to buy Kanna alone or more of this blend.

For what it's worth the blend also contained:
Sacred Lotus
Helichrysum Odoratissimum
European White Waterlily
African Wormwood
Sutherlandia Frutescens
Marshmallow Leaf
