Anyone know how to best use Kanna? I have whole leaf and powder.
I've read reports of chewing, ensnufflation, smoking, and ingesting. Nothing about tea though. Chewing a fermented quid seems to be the preferred method.
I thought I would fire up my water pipe today and try smoking it although that may be the most expensive route of ingestion.
I still haven't done anything with my recently-arrove Albizzia bark and flowers. I bought an ounce of very fine bark powder and another ounce of flowers. Looks like high quality, well packaged, and direct from the Orient. I'll start with tea I guess. I can't find any reports of smoking it.
Also have some patchouli leaves which are recommended with holy basil seeds in smoking mixtures. Forget aroma oil, just get an ounce of patchouli leaves and expose to the air. Whoa.
I'm a little desperate to find some sort of treatment for my atypical depression and anxiety. My typical day is alternating between naps and extreme boredom. I simply find no purpose or pleasure in anything. It's no life.
I'm only hanging on for my daughter's sake while making distant "plans" for an exit strategy. I guess that's off my own topic but my dilemna is finding a solution to the excessive sleeping and lack of enjoyment in anything.
I've tried everything but the MAO inhibitors which I'm hesitant about since I have moderately high blood pressure and lots of food allergies. It wouldn't be long before I had a hypertensive crisis (not the way I want to die) with the slightest deviation from the MAO diet.
At least I haven't drank in 26 days. Starting to meditate and read a little but haven't been out of the house for over a week. Back to the boredom and emptiness.
