Mama Kanna Extract Snuff

Here's another fun one!

My good friend Alex, whom I've spoken about before and who owns Mama Kanna, just released his spectacular kanna snuff. With our partnership with Mama Kanna, you can now buy kanna extract in our collection of ethnobotanicals for sale!

Kanna, scientifically known as Sceletium tortuosum, is a succulent plant native to South Africa, where it has been used for centuries by indigenous tribes for relaxation and stress relief. The plant contains a range of alkaloids that are known to interact with the brain's dopamine and serotonin receptors, offering a sense of well-being and mental clarity.

This stuff is POWERFUL! It doesn't have to be used as a snuff, but can be mixed in with water or a beverage, or taken under the tongue (although it's pretty bitter).

Because our kanna extract for sale is very potent, please be careful! Each vial has a half gram, which is roughly 10-20 doses.

For wholesale orders, please contact me. At MN Nice Ethnobotanicals, we’re always happy to help fellow distributors :)

Kanna (also known as channa, Namaqua skeletonfig, and kougoed) is native to South Africa. The oral traditions of indigenous tribes in the region (particularly the San and Khoi tribes) suggest that kanna has been a part of their medicinal practices for thousands of years.

This succulent was especially popular with pastoralists, who would chew it dry to slowly release its alkaloid-rich juices. Its pain-reducing properties helped with minor aches and pains like toothaches, as well as appetite suppression (key for long days in the field) and stress reduction.

Today, you can buy kanna online to join this ancient tradition yourself. These products come in a variety of form factors, such as our kanna extract snuff.

Servings: Each vial contains 10-20 servings, depending on user tolerance.

Dosage: The right dosage for you depends on a number of personal factors, such as age, weight, and metabolic rate. It provides fast-acting effects when used as snuff, so start with a very small amount (such as 15-25mg) and wait about 5-10 minutes to assess effects. If you drink or eat it, wait between 30 minutes to an hour to feel the full effects.

Warnings: Do not use kanna in conjunction with anti-depressants (especially SSRIs and SNRIs), MDMA, or other substances that interact with your serotonin receptors. Consult your healthcare provider before you buy kanna extract, particularly if you have pre-existing health conditions or are taking other medications. Do not take kanna if pregnant or breast-feeding. Keep out of reach of children and animals.

Is kanna legal in the USA?

Yes, kanna is legal to buy, sell, and own in the USA. There are currently no states that restrict kanna. Because it isn’t regulated or restricted, there are many supplement products that contain at least a little kanna.

Why is kanna so popular?

Kanna is used by wellness seekers all over the world as an all-natural support for their lifestyles. Whether it’s mental, physical, or spiritual health, users point to kanna as a supplement that genuinely helps. And although it is psychoactive, it doesn’t intoxicate users to the same degree as botanicals like kratom or cannabis.

Is kanna extract safe for consumption?

As a much more potent product than normal dried and pulverized kanna, extracts should be used carefully. Start low and go slow to avoid an overwhelming and unpleasant experience. Users new to extracts may want to integrate this powder into drinks or meals instead of using it as snuff.

Kanna should be used as-needed. We do not recommend using kanna as a daily supplement.

What is the best way to consume kanna?

That depends on your preference! Snuff is the fastest-acting, with most people experiencing effects within 5-10 minutes, but requires careful dosing (especially with potent kanna extracts). 

Chewing raw plant is the traditional method that provides ongoing, consistent relief until all of its juice has been chewed and washed out, which can take hours. Eating kanna or brewing it into tea provides slow and mild effects, which is great for enjoying kanna’s calming properties. 

Taking it sublingually provides a healthy balance of all forms of kanna: not quite as fast-acting or powerful as snuff, but faster than drinking kanna tea or chewing raw plant matter.

What is the active ingredient in kanna?

Kanna’s main active ingredient is mesembrine, along with other mood-boosting alkaloids like mesembrenone, mesembrenol, and mesembranol. These compounds increase serotonin levels by acting as serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs), helping to improve mood and focus. 

Unlike many prescription antidepressants, kanna’s natural SRIs are less likely to cause long-term side effects like emotional numbness or reduced sexual function.
