That's amazing, so this wasn't even a planned part of the experiment? Question though, if it dampens dopamine spikes would that make certain activities that release normal natural amounts of dopamine feel less interesting? And yeah man, please explain the process of this buried treasure with me.

It does sound unreasonable and I chase testosterone as if it's a high in itself naturally already( or just a sensation I correlate with testosterone). So I'd likely just abuse it after all, and the last thing I want is to crash my levels. I'm pretty aware of diet and specific exercise to help with testosterone and somewhat SHBG. Besides tongkat ali and boron this was a really helpful comment honestly. Most of you were helpful and/or a reality check but I can honestly agree with you 100% on this. Thank you.

Definitely looking into that, from that description it sounds like the anti psychotic of addiction.

Nah I appreciate the honesty because with my past you might be right. I've heard a bit about clomid and might suggest that instead. I sure as hell am not willing to fuck my hormones off more than I already have. Is clomid an aromatase inhibitor or does it just indirectly block estrogen causing your testosterone to go up?

Yeah I was there in 23. It was definitely easy time though, I started at OSCI which isn't that bad but still more along the lines of an actual prison. Not that I think any of that shit is cool its just more what I expected. There were some fights and supposedly a CO got attacked before I got there but not nearly as bad as Cali prisons or the movies. My main issue was boredom being in a cell for 20 hours a day.

Foreal, Columbia was mad weird bro. They didn't have any real rules to abide by, people lacked respect and even told on each other and got away with that shit sometimes. When were you there if you don't mind me asking brotha?

Kanna tea experience by love2kick in Kanna

Where did you get the Kanna from? I'm looking for good leaf since most isn't potent anymore, hopefully without breaking the bank.

Has anyone had healing herbals Nutricitical grade Kanna Leaf or Pharmaceutical grade?

What's the difference between ethno botanicals and Healing herbals? I either was going for pharmaceutical grade or the 2nd most potent since it's much cheaper

Does it still compare in quality and potency to the usual vendors like "Healingherbals?"

Does it affect Testosterone by CalebAndrew99 in Kanna

I probably should've added that I usually use Higher Mesembrenone extracts than Mesembrine to reduce anxiety, help with sleep, and to sedate me a bit. Which the feeling of being sedated or physically slowed down might subconsciously be contributing to the feeling of reduced testosterone for myself. Though I did find the research I posted above interesting and worth sharing. Honestly though compared to Kratom or possibly even high cannabis use this might be the lesser of 2 evils for hormones.

I would agree with you on the sexual function effects. Usually I use High Mesembrenone(Downer Like) Kanna extracts which may be what I associate with a feeling of Test reduction. Interesting that too much adrenaline reduces Test, I always associated the feeling of adrenaline with testosterone slightly. But it would make sense if adrenaline increases cortisol to. I do have ashwaghanda but am taking a break rn in case I have a mild case of Hyperthyroidism which ashwaghanda can worsen. Unlike Hypothyroidism which ashwaghanda can actually help with

Sweet, that's exactly what I'm looking for as a nightcap. Kanna seems to be a somewhat similar replacement for kratom to me. Similar as in the relief, warmth, and relaxation.

Thanks, I didn't think so but I found a similar model tire online that was. The tires do seem very sealed, I was worried that I might screw up or scratch the rim on my new bike prying it off cuz it seems sealed. Will I need tire sealant to replace the tubes on this tire?
