General Product Info

Shaman’s Garden sells a lot of random, raw herbals and botanicals. Some are refined, others aren’t. Their Kanna comes in many options, including various extracts and in non-extracted forms. The one I chose was 10 grams of “Full Spectrum 5:1” extract. It seemed to be their premium blend and showed up as it was supposed to: in a quality vacuum sealed foil bag to keep it fresh. It did seem fresh by touch and smell. It even tasted fresh (Kanna has a bit of a bitter, tongue-numbing kind of effect to taste). Shaman’s Garden shipped it fairly quickly and that didn’t surprise me really, as they have done very well in the past. I have a lot of respect for the company. The powder was a little thick, but felt consistent.

Product Administration

Shaman’s Garden is very open about the product being smokeable. I used a fresh bowl and smoked what I would estimate to be about half a gram at a time, which took a few sessions to complete each bowl. The thickness of the extract was perfect for lining the rim of the bowl. It sort of bubbled a little bit, so keep in mind, it will definitely “ruin” a bowl. I smoked about 2 grams a night for a few nights in a row.

Product Effects

The effects of Shaman’s Garden Kanna were pretty great. Way better than being sober, but only for the first couple of nights. The third night started to get weird and I had to stop. I honestly haven’t touched the stuff since, but the high was definitely noticeable and too much so to ignore. I would compare it to a trance-like tunnel vision. Putting an activity in front of you before you start is ideal and makes the experience more fun. The experience becomes about the activity, rather than about the tunnel vision. It almost felt as though I was floating too…a sort of lighter sensation came over my body and it sort of felt like my mind detached from my body and floated a few feet above me. It’s hard to explain, as I definitely still perceived and took in the environment at my eye’s level. It was only my mind which kind of felt “raised up above my body.”

Final Thoughts

I would say that this is one of the best Kanna extracts on the market, especially for the money. The reason it still only gets 3 stars is because Kanna simply isn’t that great of a high altogether. There are so many better, legal highs that by far exceed the high that one would get from Kanna, in duration, quality and enjoyment. It does work though, and this extract is very powerful when it comes to Kanna. I can say Kanna helped me explore parts of what I imagine are my consciousness that I did not know exist. I understand thoroughly why this is used by tribesman and shaman.

Also it is worth noting that it is best to use an old one that you do not care about anymore, or dedicate a new one specifically to Kanna. A cheap bowl is okay, but the extract can take time to heat, and does require the airflow from inhaling to keep the flame on the extract…so a longer pipe is better. Some people suggest sprinkling the extract onto weed before rolling a joint, or otherwise lacing it into a tobacco spliff of sorts. I myself, after having this experience had the idea to use a crack pipe, to vaporize it (indirect lighter heat to the bottom of the bowl would be better and prevent the lungs from having to take so much heat damage while the extract is heating up to release the smoke/vapor).

If trance like states are your thing, this is one of the best shaman herbs for getting high that’s still legal. It is pretty great for reading a long fantasy novel or something like that, and was great for getting drawn into the story. I can confidently recommend this Kanna as one of the best Kanna extracts available to date. Shaman’s Garden was also very professional, as always.
