Kanna
Basic Information
Summary
A South African plant containing numerous psychoactive alkaloids, including mesembrine and mesembrenone. The first written account of the substance was in 1662. The pharmacology of these compounds is poorly understood, but they are suspected to be serotonin uptake inhibitors and potentially monoamine releasers. Said to suppress appetite, produce mild euphoria and reduce anxiety.
Habit-forming
These drugs pose a higher risk of causing habit forming behaviour, take particular care with the amount and frequency they are taken.
