{"product_id":"kanna-drops","title":"Kanna Drops — 4ml Extract Oil, 5% Total Alkaloids","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree alkaloids do the work in kanna, and they pull in different directions. Mesembrine is the bright, social one — awake, outward, easy in conversation. Mesembrenone is the calm one. Δ7-mesembrenone is the sedating one. The ratio between them is what you actually feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKanna Drops are 90% mesembrine, 5% mesembrenone and 5% Δ7. That is the brightest ratio we make, and the furthest toward the daytime end of what kanna does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost kanna sold anywhere never states how much alkaloid is in the bottle, let alone the split between them. Two products at the same price can land completely differently, or not land at all. Ours is printed on the label and guaranteed as a minimum on every batch. In a liquid that matters more than usual, because there is no way to judge the strength of an oil by looking at it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou also feel kanna the day you take it. It does not ask for six weeks of daily use before anything happens — one serving does its work that afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe format is the second reason people choose it. A serving is two to four drops from the dropper cap. Four drops is 160mg of oil, and carries 25mg of kanna extract — the same amount of extract as a full serving of our powders, without the scoop or the scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat to expect\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBright and outward. Awake rather than wired, and more inclined to talk than to sit quietly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnset is usually around 30 minutes — sooner held under the tongue, longer if you swallow it or take it with food. Effects last two to three hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA four-drop serving carries 25mg of kanna extract: 1.25mg of total alkaloids, 1.13mg of it mesembrine. Two drops is half of that, and a sensible place to start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dropper is the measure. Milligram precision would mean weighing the oil on a scale, and in practice nobody does that — you count drops and adjust between two and four.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA vial is 30 full servings where a 1-gram jar of powder is 40, at the same price. The format costs something.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome people feel very little the first time.
