Why is ND not selling a Kanna Extract yet? I started this week and I am blown away! It is without a doubt the best anxiolytic and mood enhancer I have ever tried..

Most kanna on the market is fake. It's a different plant from China in the same genus, but a different species. It's RAMPANT right now. Getting real Sceletium tortuosum is difficult, as it is only grown in a few Affrican countries, and they SUCK to work with! We are working with a facility in South Africa on our own extract, but it is taking FOREVER! It doesn't help that you can only harvest once a year in the winter, and each plant takes 4-6 years before you can harvest. We've tested a bunch of "kanna" out there now, and I would say over 90% of it is this other plant. That plant does contain mesembrine, so it will have effects. It's just not real kanna. I've thought about selling that one, as we can source that easily. However, I have been holding out for our African potion seller to get their shit together and make our real Sceletium tortuosum extract. If they don't get us something in the next two months, I am going to shift elsewhere.
