074 | Kanna: Supporting Depression & Anxiety with This Legal, Safe & Researched Plant Medicine w/ Ryan Latreille


Listen Later

Could this succulent from South Africa be a daily ally for managing anxiety and depression? Research says yes. Some of the active alkaloids found in Kanna have been well researched and are now prescribed for treating such mental health conditions.  Not only is Kanna well researched, it is also legal and has very low risk profile. 

Kanna is an empathogen, meaning it increases feelings of connection and empathy towards oneself and others. Rather than being a deep and intense psychedelic experience, Kanna is more often used as a gentle daily support. While it has been used ceremonially in high doses within indigenous cultures, Kanna also offers support as a supplement  (microdose) rather than a high dose experience.

Delivering all this fascinating information to us is Ryan Latreille, founder of TWO Kanna companies. He tell us everything we need to know about this plant, in addition to how it has a use case in recreational settings, replacing other more toxic substances. We also cover indigenous use, contraindications, empathogens vs psychedelics, and so much more!

I am SO excited about Kanna, and I know you will be too after listening to this episode. Don't forget to share it with a friend who might find this information valuable!
