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

I can't help but wonder what other stimulant chemicals are produced by fermentation in the gut... like the fermentation of proteins, for instance. What sorts of modifications occur with those freed amino acids? They could be converted into all sorts of bioactive metabolites given the chance...

Yeah, I am sure it happens a lot more than we think. Gut metabolism, along with products made by the probiotics in our GI tracts, affects our cognition and mood a lot. That's how some strains of probiotics can make you calmer, by creating GABA in the gut. Also, I am sure people's individual microbiome affects how certain natural extracts are metabolized. We have a lot more to learn about it.
