Kanna: raise the spirits and boost focus

Kanna (Sceletium tortuosum) has a long history of use among hunter-gatherers of South Africa. As an energising and mind-altering plant, these populations would chew on the dried plant material and swallow the alkaloid-rich saliva. Kanna is reported to raise the spirits, boost focus, and reduce worries. Although not hallucinogenic, kanna does produce somewhat of a euphoric and enjoyable effect.
