111. Trip Report: Kanna vs. MDMA Plus How Molly Effs With Your Sleep For Weeks
What if you could feel more connected, relaxed, and joyful—without alcohol or MDMA? In this episode, I talk to Andrew Weisse, founder of getKanna and writer of Substack's The Psychedelic Blog, about the mood-enhancing, heart-opening power of Kanna, a South African plant that’s gaining popularity as a functional empathogen. We discuss its chemical makeup, traditional use, and modern applications for social connection, romantic intimacy, and MDMA replacement. This is a big one for anyone exploring a sustainable way to engage with psychedelics.
🔵 Key Takeaways
- Kanna enhances emotional openness, connection, and calm without a crash or sleep disruption
- It’s a serotonin reuptake inhibitor, not a psychedelic—legal and gentle
- Unlike MDMA, Kanna is non-depleting and can be taken more regularly
- April shares her sober-in-Seattle story with Kanna as her “plus one”
- Andrew offers insights on sourcing, dosing, and why alcohol-free connection is the future
