Product Description
Native to South Africa, this is a lush, low-growing succulent that is commonly known in as Kanna, Canna, or Kougoed (which means chewable or something to chew). Kanna has been used by the Hottentot tribe throughout history (see link below), and was also used as an inebriant by early hunter-gatherers. It is a very effective and powerful mood enhancer - much stronger and more effective then St. Johns Wort. Used to improve frame of mind, and to prevent mood swings, stress, nervous tension, and also as an aid in treating and preventing relapse into alcoholism. It has been known to potentiate and enhance the effects of dagga, cannabis, and alcohol. Traditionally chewed (50mg in a piece of chewing gum), snuffed (20mg), smoked, or brewed as a tea. The active alkaloids were isolated in 1914 by Zwicky Lewin and documented in his 1934 book Phantastica, classified under hypnotica.
