Kanna- fantastic anxiolytic nootropic

Original post in this thread

hungdaddy49 · 79 points

Recently got some Kanna (Sceletium Tortuosum) which is a south african plant with psychoactive properties. It apparently functions as an Serotonin release agent and an SRI

so far iv had great effects with the substance (300mg sublingual)

* Effects kick in after a few minutes

* Duration is seemingly much longer than tianeptine (8+ hours)

* There is no crash

* neuroprotective

* improves focus

* The anti-anxiety effect is stronger than tianeptine, compares to phenibut for me

* increases empathy, great for socialising

* Stimulating at first but then mellows out (great for relaxing sleep)

* The appetite suppressing effect is quite noticeable

i cant believe this stuff isnt more popular really. the feeling on it i would nearly describe as similar to low dose MDMA

*****EDIT****

Here is another review i found that was similar to my own experiences

I recently saw this picture
comparing different Kanna extracts on a online shop.

Any idea if it's accurate? How would the Zembrin extract be compared to those in regards to potency?

u/MisterYouAreSoDumb · Ceretropic & Nootropics Depot

Those are just made up extract names by that site. Who knows how effective they are, what solvents they used, and what compounds are in them. 10:1 extracts are never actually 10:1 efficacy, as the solvents used in the extraction only pull certain things over.

Zembrin is a patented fermented extract that has clinical trials behind its dosing and efficacy. 25mg of Zembrin is more powerful than 300mg of raw kanna powder I used to buy from another site. I can't compare it to those extracts you linked, as we don't have any data from them to go on.

My experiences with high dose (100mg+) tianeptine over a two month period

You need to start tapering off it now! You are not using it properly, and are going to cause yourself harm. Tianeptine is hard on the liver at those dosages. It is not meant to be taken at 650mg/day. Your usage is irresp
