Kanna- fantastic anxiolytic nootropic

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

We have 3 different panax ginseng extracts that will be released soon.
Go ooon :3 I've been enjoying using Prince of Peace's Royal Jelly, Bee Pollen and Ginseng extract sublingually. It has the appearance of mass-produced cheapness, however, and I'm interested in what a higher-quality extract would do. Will you only be selling a powder form? Like I said, the sublingual availability of ginseng is top notch; I would be quite interested in a solution with some complementing factors.
I think there's potential for some herbal nasal sprays, too. I can't help but ponder what could be achieved with a highly-concentrated bacopa nasal spray. A limiting factor for a lot of people with bacopa is the upset stomach, and I think circumventing that with the enhancement of other ROAs is probably the future for that herb.

Yeah, the 3 initial panax ginseng extracts will be in powder form. One is a root, one is a leaf, and one is a patented fermented root extract.
We've spent a bunch of time determining the exact ginsenoside content. Most extracts are standardized to 2-3% ginsenosides. Our root extract has 7% ginsenosides. Our leaf extract has the highest ginsenoside percentage of any extract on the market, with 44% via HPLC! Most places use UV-VIS, which always shows much higher ginsenoside content than there really is. We did a bunch of research on HPLC methods, and partnered with the experts at Alkemist Labs, to get a real verifiable HPLC % of the ginsenosides. Also, many of the extracts on the market right now are mislabeled, and are actually cheaper American ginseng, or another species like Siberian ginseng. So we had them do HP-TLC to verify the species was real panax ginseng. This is why it has taken us so long to release it. We wanted to be sure these were the best panax ginseng extracts possible.
Our fermented root extract is pretty cool too. It's pre-metabolized to the active compounds. So it is quicker acting, and reaches higher peak plasma levels; especially when taken sublingually. We'll be releasing a panax ginseng sample pack too. So people will be able to try them all out, and see what works best for them. I'm super excited to release them!
Nasal sprays of natural extracts is going to be tough, due to all the cellulose content. We'd have to do something like our Super Rhodiola, and just synthesize the compounds themselves.
