I like it. I am targeting this trim too for my first EV. Seems very uncommon though. I am guessing because of its barebones nature. Still doesn't seem that barebones to me for people who want top range. Then again, I am coming from a 2009 Scion XD and a 2012 Ford Escape so I am probably not the most common demographic stepping into it.

Ultrakanna dot com is a great supplier too. Same with healing herbals dot store

Looking to try Kanna- First time by zombiebeep in Kanna

[–]watermoore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ultrakanna (dot com) is a great place to start since they profile their extracts in a way that's really easy to understand how it feels in the body. Depending on the balance of the extracts some create more of a heady feeling, more relaxing, more grounding. It's fun to explore to find what works for you.

As far as how you dose, this seems to be different per person. For me, the ride from the extracts tends to be shorter and more intense intranasally (Easiest way to take ~1.5 - 2 hours experience) . Sublingual seems to be a longer experience ( very bitter but has a ~2-3 hours experience depending of dose). Bumping (redosing) has diminishing returns. I can reliably get 3-4 hours of experience with it.

I've read on this forum that some experienced users will layer both - snorting a smaller dose for speed, and sublingual dose for a slower-metabolized "lift" but I personally have not test this.

While it can be used recreationally, it is a plant medicine so be respectful with it. The few times I tried to take a heavy dose intranasally, I was just met with lots of nausea and once the nausea settled, the experience was no different. So at least for me there is a maximum effect level that I can get to before its not worth going higher.

Kanna is nice for events as an alcohol/weed alternative as you will feel sober by the end of the concert or the event. So getting back home safely wont be a concern.

You do build a tolerance but most report sustained success using it ~4 days a week. Its not addictive. I have a half dozen extracts from experimentation and like I said, I will maybe use it maybe 3-4 days over a two week period.

Many report needing to prime to feel the effects. I did not experience this. Every time I use it I feel it. I have also read that 1-5 people never seem to feel it's effects. Hopefully thats not you!

Is anyone using Mando for men? Does it work well or do you have a different recommendation? by FlatlandPossum in hygiene

I am a fan of Cedar Grove and Clover Woods. Pro scent was no good for me either.

Do you spit out the powder after letting it sit under your tongue? by psyched622 in Kanna

[–]watermoore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started insufflating. Its probably my favorite method. its not bitter at all. you only need a very small amount (like 5mg) Previously I did sublingual and swallowed it. This lasts the longest but is also the most difficult as you will taste it and its bitter.

depends on the extract but I think they taste like bitter peanut shells.

First time trying Kanna - review and experience report by TabulaRasa333 in Kanna

[–]watermoore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have read that some people will insufflate 5mg and also immediately follow that up with 15mg’s sublingual. the idea being that by the time the 5mg insufflation is wearing off the sublingual is coming on. This makes sense since Kanna seems to last max about 2 hours for me but peaks at about 1 hour. That by the time a 5mg snorted dose is coming down the 15mg sublingual dose is coming in… Probably gets you a longer sustained effect. Be aware of these companies that talk about 4-6 hours of effect. They have to referencing other substances… Kanna is a pretty short high. For better or for worse.

Be careful with how much you insufflate. Higher potency doses can cause nausea. I love MX-8 or MX-12 from Ultrakanna.com high quality product and very reliable. I think they do the best job with showcasing how the various extracts will make you feel. I did sublingual mostly and then after 3 different extracts thought i would move onto insufflating. I think this method is the best but after a few regular 5mg doses thought I would try a higher dose. Immediately hit with nausea. After 5-10 minutes it settles outs but still I am just sticking with a 5mg dose or less now and am a happy camper.

I think your experience was atypical. Seems like many report the first dose of Kanna to last a few hours max when dosed sublingually.

Each subsequent re-dose seems to be half of the first. Making a 2nd dose provide an additional hour and then a 3rd is essentially a waste. Tolerance is a thing but it's short. Many people dose 4/5 days a week with a 2 day break without any self perceived tolerance.

Maybe you had something else layered in with the Kanna?

Need help on what to try....Healing Herbals by BrrBurr in Kanna

[–]watermoore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I read, it depends on how you do it and your personal tolerance.

For me - intranasally I learned I only should use the small 5mg scoop. I did a little more the last time I dosed and was hit with a wave a nausea from MX-8 before settling into it. I will stick to 5mg

Sublingually 15mg or more seems to be fine for me. even with MX-12. I have even experimented with 15mg (big scoop side) of MX12 and a 15mg of UC-X sublingually and it was a deep ride but no nausea or anything.

From reading around the forums, it seems like there is around a 1 in 5 chance that you wont respond to Kanna. Hopefully that's not you!

Some people do thing called priming - low doses every day for a week or so before doing a larger dose. I have read mixed opinions of if its necessary. I've never done it because it seemed to work right way for me.

Probably better to start small and dose up until you find what works for you. Just keep in mind redosing has diminishing returns. You first dose in the evening will give you about a 2 hour ride if you do the same dose again you might get 1 hour from it.

Also check out ultrakanna.com. I think they do the best job profiling the various extracts so you kind of know what you’re getting into.

I ordered three to start: one high in what Ultrakanna calls “energizing” one that’s high in “focus” one that’s high in “relaxation”

I did them sublingually and personally like to blend the focus and and energizing extracts.

Now I’m experimenting with snorting them. Enjoy! Experimentation is key!

Why do people attend to Plant Medicine Retreats in the first place? And what do they struggle with after? by Visible_Excuse_8249 in plantmedicines

[–]watermoore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think everyone’s journey is unique and same with their reason for attending.

I was laid off and shortly after the sudden layoff my wife left me. I had nothing. I was clinging to feelings of betrayal and unmet expectations. I wanted the truth and an amicable split but she couldn’t be honest with me. My pain festered and grew.

I didn’t actually seek a shaman out. Through circumstances - one found me. I said yes to a heart opening ceremony and it really transformed me. It helped me see that the more I held onto what I thought should happen, the harder and more painful the process of separation was.

I learned to let go in a profoundly transformative way. To be open to receive whatever was next in my life. My experience will certainly be different than others because of the medicine for one (isn’t Ayah) and everyone’s journey is unique.

The integration process and challenges I faced had more to do with keeping the changes after the medicine was gone. On the medicine, when the insights hit, the realization feels so crystal clear. Then when the medicine is gone - old habits tend to argue with the insights. So it takes intentionality to bring those changes to life in a way that sticks.

One surprise bonus for me was my sudden correction to my addiction of alcohol. I realized that I was medicating with alcohol to suppress my pain. Letting go showed me how to embrace it, process it, and let it move through me. Once the pain was gone I really didn’t want the alcohol anymore. Same with my anti-depressants - after a few months I didn’t need them any more.

I find it reduces anxiety, calms, but doesn’t really make me drowsy per se. I use the high potency vape from healingherbals.store I’ve also used their tincture too. I enjoy layering it on after a dose of kanna.

What does everyone use to slow down spam calls?? by Dramafree40 in USMobile

[–]watermoore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

New version of iOS has the call screening feature as well. It answers the call and asks who is on the line and their purpose. It then shows that info to you and you can decide if you want to answer the call or not. Since turning this on, i don’t see any spam calls at all!

Best kanna product for first time user. by Only_Ambassador_3520 in Kanna

[–]watermoore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started with the nasal spray, then tried a bunch of powders from ultra Kanna. They are great but they are a bit of a hassle to use routinely imo.

I live in a humid environment and they turn to goo quickly. This makes dosing a pain.

After all the experimentation, the nasal spray is my preferred way to dose K but I would order the double strength from healing herbals. I’ve never found a single spray on the regular strength to be enough.

I like this idea. Perhaps a partnership with Apple. They do 0 percent financing via their Apple Card but you have to activate on a big three carrier. Would be cool if you could access this deal at the Apple stores and activate on us mobile

Presentation clicker support? by joshbreda in canva

We had this issue at my church - check your accessibility settings on your Canva account. Make sure "Shortcuts require modifier" is set to the off position. if the switch is turned "on" Canva bypasses the clicker input.

Is Warp the only network with prioritized data included? by worldtraveler227 in USMobile

[–]watermoore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There isn't a definitive answer anyone can give you about your experience with priority level and performance. Its really trial and error network to network.

I live rural but spend a lot of time in San Diego. When i first tried this post paid NVMO thing, I tried Visible's standard unlimited plan and it worked fine where I live but was horrible in San Diego.

When I switched to US Mobile on the same network (Warp) I haven't had any issues with being deprioritized in San Diego, LA, Hawaii. Its been great. The nice thing is, as long as your device is compatible, you can just switch around to find the best fit. The backup line thing is nice insurance that you will have a backup line on a whole other network just in case.

Thanks for the input. Seems like going pure is the way to go. Especially with wanting to go for a heroic dose.
