r/Kanna

Literally title. New to kanna; I got introduced when I saw an IG ad for SoHi kanna gummies.

They made me hella nauseous and anxious.

I ordered ultra kanna mx-8 and did about 5mg sublingual. 10 mins in, I had to poop.

30 mins later I did 30mg sublingual. After holding it for about 3 minutes I swallowed and within another 10 mins. Hit the loo.

30 mins after that, I sublingual another 15mg. Guess what, had to poo in the loo… again!

This ain’t right. My booty hurt.

i'm planning on ordering some fs-33 kanna extract. im trying to find some new things to do at parties after quitting drinking, but im a little nervous to try this as i panic and derealize when i smoke weed. i was kind of just wondering if kanna feels similar, just not sure what to expect.

Has anyone had experience in doing collum chemistry extracts with this plant? Would love to talk with someone who has some experience in this. Thank you

Ive been feeling sluggish in the morning this last week so today I decided to sniff a lil bump of RM12 extract with breakfast. Hole. Lee. Shit. Perked me right up. Its a thousand times better than a coffee, with a less sharp edge and no jitter. Makes you actually look forward to interacting with people. Im gonna have to incorporate this into my morning routine.

So earlier today, I had taken my usual dose of LM MT165 Kanna (about 25-30mg). I only insufflate. When I usually take this much, I only get a small rush for about 30 minutes then it fades into mellowness. But this time, upon taking the same amount I got much higher than I anticipated, not complaining though it felt crazy. It was like the first time I tried kanna. the rush felt like it lasted at least an hour. I just wanna know why it affected me differently this time. I use it about every other day.

Hey guys, I recently purchased the Kanna Extract Sampler from HH which I intend to dose sublingually in the mornings before + during work. For some context, I suffer from moderate social anxiety and have difficulty focusing when under stress. Work has been demanding of me lately and I was in search of a naturally remedy to combat my struggles. I stumbled on Kanna and after some light research decided it was a viable option. For anyone who has similar struggles or takes Kanna regularly for at-work focus: what extract do you use? what dose? how often?

hi everyone :) i’m 23F and recently got some powdered kanna and nasal spray, both from healing herbals. i’ve tried them both to a good extent and have yet to really notice any effects. i am on some medications — 150mg wellbutrin daily, 7.5mg buspirone daily, and 50mg trazodone at night. i’ve assumed that one or more of my meds is causing the kanna to be ineffective. i know trazodone is an SRI and that buspar acts in serotonin somewhat. i am considering stopping the buspar, but trazodone is pretty necessary for me, so i’m not keen on stopping it.

i’ve taken doses up to 100mg sublingually of powder and 100mg of nasal spray, maybe a dozen times, and nothing. i know kanna can have a kind of “waiting period” where it becomes more effective over time, but that hasn’t seemed to be the case for me either.

does anyone have any experience or input? is there any other reason that kanna would do absolutely nothing for someone?

For those who take kanna on a daily or near-daily basis, for either it’s anti-depressant, anti-anxiety, or stimulating effects, what do you take with it? Also what method do you take it by?

I’ve been thinking of taking a balanced extract sublingually with both agmatine and l-theanine orally. I’ve never had kanna before so I’m planning on feeling it out by taking it by itself for a bit first. I have anxiety, brain fog, chronic dissociation, and anhedonia and am looking to ease at least one of these issues.

Specific extract recommendations also welcome! I’ve been eyeing Bioextracts and Healing Herbals, specifically either buying one of their more full spectrum extracts or mixing two of them so I can fine tune a mix to my preference.

I've been using kanna for a while now and have tried several different extracts. I generally look for clean, stimulating, uplifting effects with minimal plant residue.

The Kanna Extreme from Zamnesia is hands-down the biggest disappointment I've come across. Utter dogshit.

What I hate about it:

—Disgusting earthy "planty" taste and smell, like cheap low-grade herb

—Noticeable vegetal residue — feels completely unrefined

—Weak and disappointing effects even at higher doses (they recommend 25 mg, I've been pushing 50–60 mg sublingual and it's still underwhelming)

—Heavy, drowsy, sedating profile — I can't stop yawning after taking it. Zero clean serotonergic stimulation or brightness

Instead of giving me that empathogenic, motivated, switched-on feeling… it just leaves me dull, lethargic and brain-fogged

The most infuriating part is that they market it as a strong premium extract. In reality it feels like mediocre powdered kanna at best — and an overpriced one at that.

I bought two grams specifically for emergency use because kanna has generally worked very well for me as self-medication against stage panic. I had an important jam session coming up and decided to use it… an absolute disaster. It completely killed my playing. No edge, no bite, no drive — none of that sharp, speedy technical feel I usually get from good kanna extracts. Just left me flat and frustrated as hell while playing.

To be clear: my experience is mainly with extracts (I've only tried raw herb once, as a weak tea that was also mildly sedating). And compared to every other extract I've used, this one is a massive downgrade — dirtier, more sedating, and far less effective.

My usual ROA is sublingual, with small intranasal boosts after a while before redosing sublingually again. I haven't even dared to try insufflating Kanna Extreme — just looking at this stuff, I can only imagine how brutal that would be on the sinuses.

If you're looking for proper mesembrine-driven stimulation, sociability, focus, or just a clean functional experience… stay the fuck away from this shit.

Total waste of money. I'm genuinely pissed I bought it.

Has anyone else tried Zamnesia Kanna Extreme and had the same terrible experience, or did I just get particularly unlucky?

I can see that SSRIs are a big no-no, I don’t see much discussion about TCAs like amitryptaline. I’m under the assumption that TCAs also affect serotonin uptake thus they would be a bad idea to mix. Unless I’m missing something?

Hi,

New here, just wondering if when you take kanna there is an after effect like a hangover? And it sounds like the effects drop off quickly, can you take it again thf same evening and have an effect?

Kanna profile :

20mg per gummie

Total alkaloids 3.3%

Mesembrine 9.53%

Mesembrenone 13.1%

Mesembranol 4.96%

Mesembrenol 2.09%

Epi-mesambralone 69%

Tia

I want to try this shi, what percentage of Mesembrine should I buy? Also how should I dose it?

So first I bought VU3 extract to try it for the first time. When I took it (insufflated), I felt slight rush, then just a "slowness" like feeling. Like I was a little drunk, no hightened emotions or sense of touch like people describe. It just made me feel uncomfortable.

I kept using it sometimes, thinking that it might change, as I read about the loading phase, but it didn't. I also took it sublingualy or combined but nothing worked. Sometimes it just made me anxious a little.

Then I figured out I might try different extract to see if that helps, so I tried MZO one. Same thing happened. Just a stronger rush. Ears ringing, muffled sound, weird body feeling and after like 5 minutes, not much. Only the drunk feeling. No effects on mind, not even anxiety relief or mood boost.

Is this how I'm supposed to feel? Or is it caused by my brain not working right. I don't take any medication, but I have autism, ADHD and I might have some kind of mood disorder (not self diagnosis, psychiatrist said that he suspects cyclothymia or something similar)

Kanna is the only herb I order where vendors will openly list the word “kanna” on the package if it’s in the company name for the return address. Why is this? With the weird stigma around ‘drugs’ in most countries, I find it weird how abbreviations/more discreet shipping isn’t used, as it is with other herbs I order, regardless of if the herbal name is in the company name or not.

I live with other people and don’t want them knowing that I ordered Kanna. It seems like that would be common sense to most companies.

Title

I just got some FS-33 and tired for the first time with the 5-10mg scoop full. Sublingual. I enjoyed the for y but it was somewhat mild. Any recommended dosage to experience more ? Also what’s a good dosage for recreational while at clubs etc ? And what’s the best way to carry/use ?
