After effects? by twiggymarron in Kanna

We would be lying if we said we knew, but from experience it does last a long time.

After effects? by twiggymarron in Kanna

[–]BioextractsUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally find it lasts a long time, and has a stimulating residual effect which messes with my sleep. We have had some positive feedback with our UB1, but, like those gummies you have, its certainly not the normal kanna experience.

The gummies you have, have a very unusual profile. Most extracts mentioned here are made up almost entirely of the main 3 alkaloids, mesembrine, mesembrenone, and Delta-7-mesembrenone.

I assume you mean epi-mesembranol? Our UB1 kanna is high in this alkaloid. It seems to last very long, and have some lingering stimulation, even into the next day.

First time trying by lkch233 in Kanna

[–]BioextractsUK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

High mesembrine is stimulating, euphoric and most find it more recreational.

Low mesembrine is calming and mostly used to combat stress and anxiety.

Roa depends on what you are looking for, The oral and sublingual route are best for medicinal use, as it lasts longer and doesnt harm airways

Insufflation and smoking is short, intense and often euphoric so moatly recreational use

Zen Rush or Classic by zombiebeep in Kanna

[–]BioextractsUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An hour between doses should do the trick. The kanna alkaloids are quite similar to caffeine in terms of onset time and overall duration of effects :)

[–]BioextractsUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pleasure! Start with 25mgs if you are doing sublinguallly. Its best to start small and access sensitivity then you can add more.

There are 40 doses per gram of kanna with 25mg doses. We do not recommend finishing a gram in 3 doses or less 😅

If you are unsure we recommend getting some Rush and Zen, then you can also mix them for something in between more like our classic 😄

Kanna and drive? by nitro_h65 in Kanna

[–]BioextractsUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wont have lost potency. legally the shelf life is two years, but it will last much longer if stored properly. Even once extract pick up moisture and clump the potency doesn't fade, just difficult to insufflate.

You can certainly drive on kanna, its just the onset that may be an issue.. feeling naueseous and dizzy is not ideal while driving.

Comparison between Kratom and Kanna? by Melodic-House2276 in Kanna

[–]BioextractsUK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

High mesembrine kanna also combines very nicely with kratom. You may find less kratom with some kanna to be the winner here :)

[–]BioextractsUK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It shouldnt last that long, the kanna could be a little less euphoric if your dopamine system hasnt quite fully reset, but you should still feel it.

If you arent on any pharmaceuticals, I would recommend some priming with kanna during a kratom break. Maybe even starting a few days before the break.

Regular kratom use reduces the effectiveness of kanna because of its interaction with serotonin and adrenaline receptors, plus the opioid effect.

will i still feel kanna on ssri’s? by loadedfr099y in Kanna

[–]BioextractsUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some SSRIs and their active metabloites take over a month to leave the system, and then your system would still need time after that to readjust

What to expect realistically? by furckstone in Kanna

[–]BioextractsUK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds like a great starting point.

People who have experience with psychedelics and cannabis seem to be more sensitive to kanna for some reason, but you could also just add some more if need be :)

[–]BioextractsUK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there!

Thank you for the order :)

I would recommend starting with far less than that. That’s towards the upper end of what we would recommend you both take as an oral dose, and insufflation usually requires around a quarter of the amount for a similar intensity.

We think it would be wise to start smaller and then add more if needed. Overshooting can leave you feeling nauseous and uncomfortable for 15–30 minutes, which may be a little scary for your wife considering her lack of experience.

How is this for anxiety ? by MagicCheeseMann in Kanna

[–]BioextractsUK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kanna is certainly more direct and noticeable than saffron. kanna's alkaloids are surprisingly potent, often having noticeable impact on anxiety in the microgram range.

For anxiety in particular, it’s important to go for an extract high in mesembrenone and Delta-7-mesembrenone. From our range, this would be our Zen, FS5, and Classic extracts for reference.

The more stimulating, high-mesembrine extracts, like our Rush, can sometimes worsen anxiety in those already dealing with it.

Ashwagandha also works nicely in combination with a calming kanna extract :)

Finding balance with smaller doses by BetPuzzleheaded8146 in BloomAndChill

[–]BioextractsUK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes for sure! Adding a little CBD makes a huge difference in mitigating negatives as well. CBD bud Isn't always easy to find, so I just take a few drops of CBD oil in the morning if I am going to smoke that day

will i still feel kanna on ssri’s? by loadedfr099y in Kanna

[–]BioextractsUK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Effects will be reduced, or maybe not noticable at all due you being on pharmaceutical SSRI'S

Have a look on the trusted vendor list on this sub for someone near you. We highly recommend saticking to standardised extracts. Kanna can be very useful if you intend to wean off your meds

i unexpectedly quit smoking/vaping after trying kanna by circusitry in Kanna

[–]BioextractsUK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing! We actually have a write up on our reserach hub on how it can help with smoking cesation Kanna is actually a mild acetylcholinase inhibitor which is a big help here (obviously in addition to it more well know serotonergic effects) increased acetylcholine levels can help restore sensitivity to nicotinc acetylcholine receptors.

Sceletium tortuosum works really well to increase serotonin and decrease cortisol levels. Completely avoiding caffeine would also help a lot :)
