Looking for kanna in Kansas City? KC Smokz carries kanna at our Westport store on Broadway Blvd, seven days a week.
What is kanna?
Kanna (Sceletium tortuosum) is a small succulent native to South Africa, where it grows in the arid regions of the Western and Northern Cape. It has a long history of traditional use among the Khoikhoi and San peoples, who fermented and dried the plant material.
In the United States kanna is sold as a botanical dietary supplement. It is a more recent arrival to the American botanical market than kratom or kava, and is still unfamiliar to many customers — which is exactly why we would rather you ask at the counter than guess.
Forms of kanna we carry
- Powder — dried, milled plant material.
- Capsules — pre-measured servings.
- Extracts — concentrated preparations sold by standardised strength.
- Chewing gum and lozenges — increasingly common formats.
- Blends — kanna combined with other botanicals.
Fermented and unfermented kanna
Traditional preparation involved crushing and fermenting the plant before drying. Modern products are sold both fermented and unfermented, and vendors generally state which process was used. Extracts are described by concentration ratio or by standardisation. If the packaging is not clear, ask and we will show you the supplier information we hold.
What to look for
- Clear labelling. Species name, plant part and serving size should all be stated.
- Stated concentration. Extracts should say what they are concentrated to.
- Third-party testing. Ask whether lab documentation is available for the batch.
- Start low. Follow the serving size printed on the label.
