What Is Kanna: The New Kid On The On The Block

Don’t be fooled by its name, Kanna is not related to cannabis, but it does have very similar effects that are quite appreciated by consumers.

We know you have questions, and we have the answers.

First things first. What the heck is Kanna? Well, Kanna or sceletium tortuosum is an indigenous succulent plant from South Africa that has been traditionally used as a natural mood enhancer.

It is also known as kauwgoed and channa, which translates as “something to chew” or “it’s chewable.”

When introduced into the body, it acts on the brain to instill a sense of calm and happiness while also being able to moderate brain signals that cause anxiety and worries. When taken in large doses, Kanna has even been reported to induce feelings of euphoria.

In many places, it is being called the natural MDMA, probably because it can have very positive effects at the level of euphoria in a more controlled and gentle way.

The indigenous tribes of South Africa have used this plant as an herbal remedy for hundreds of years. Its use dates back to prehistoric times, when hunter-gatherers of the native San and Khoikhoi tribes roamed the land.

The plant can be chewed, brewed into teas or smoked. Traditionally, South Africans use kanna to relieve anxiety or stress, quench thirst, combat fatigue or for healing and spiritual purposes.

It is currently stealing the spotlight as its properties are highly appreciated.

Kanna has been used for many years, and some of the reported benefits are associated with the way its compounds react with the brain.

The main compounds in the plant are the alkaloids, which react in a similar way with the endocannabinoid system in us as do cannabinoids, for example, Delta 8 or Delta 9.

By consuming Kanna, especially in the company of cannabis, you are likely to experience:

• Improved mood
• Increased sociability
• Improved sensory perception
• Relaxation and tranquility
• Increased concentration
• A healthy response to stress
• Improved cognitive flexibility
• Pain relief
• Improved anxiety

When consumed, there may initially be increased alertness and increased energy, which then turns into a more sedating relaxation.

In the rare event that side effects occur, they may include mild gastrointestinal discomfort, headaches or irregular bowel movements.

More in-depth studies are still needed, currently there is not much evidence to show short or long term effects, most of what is known is anecdotal.

Because kanna is not an FDA approved product, specific dosing guidelines have not been established.

Kanna can produce varied effects depending on the user and the quality of the product, so the general rule is to start with a lower dose.

Kanna may interact with some medications taken for depression, such as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Therefore, it is suggested not to consume them simultaneously. If you have doubts always consult your doctor.

The short answer is: yes, you can. But it’s up to you.

Taking kanna with weed can increase your mood boost, and it is generally believed that both plants work very well together enhancing the entourage effect.

Since kanna induces relaxation, it can help dampen any anxiety that cannabis may cause.

As with anything to do with cannabis, start gentle and establish your tolerance. These are two very potent plants that potentiate each other. Always go slow.

There are several ways to consume Kanna, usually together with cannabis. In theory, you could smoke or vaporize, drink it in tea, and thanks to Galaxy Treats, you can now consume it in gummy form.
