Wild Dagga Extract (10:1)

Renee says it's her favorite new product amongst our ethnobotanicals for sale. She mixes it into water and drinks. Jen absolutely loves it in conjunction with the full decarb extract. 

Wild dagga, also known as Leonotus leonurus or “African Cannabis,” is a plant native to South Africa. It’s a beautiful blooming flower that contains Leonurine as well as a host of other compounds. 

Leonurine interacts with GABA and 5-HT3A serotonin receptors, with other compounds in wild dagga affecting the endogenous cannabinoid system (ECS). Users describe the experience as similar to cannabis but with a bit of a different, “brighter” feel to it. 

Leonurine has been shown to increase levels of serotonin, noradrenaline, and dopamine. People also report wild dagga helping them manage inflammation and oxidative stress. 

It took a while to find a good source for wild dagga, but I finally locked it in and am extremely pleased with it!

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

It can be used occasionally or as part of a wellness routine, though taking breaks may help prevent tolerance buildup and maintain its effectiveness over time.
