A few days ago I tried this product, it was my first experience with kanna. I made tea of it and I was aiming for a dose of 250 mg. However, I used really shitty scales and I think I got the dose wrong and took waaay too much.
I spent about three hours laying on my bed, being practically unable to move. It was as if my body was just not responding to what my brain told it to do. I was also unable to speak. I would try to formulate sentences, but it's as if my brain just didn't remember how to speak. If I made a tremendous effort, I could say one or two words before I'd slip back into some sort of brain limbo.
The kanna enhanced my senses, which was at some times really pleasant (my boyfriend took some as well and he was massaging my head with one of these spider-like metal head massager thingies and it felt amazing and it kind of got me out of my scary headspace). But all my other senses were enhanced to the point where I just got sensory overload from everything; any sound was too much and my eyes couldn't handle any light so I had to keep them closed. Also, any physical discomfort (like laying in an uncomfortable position) felt extremely, extremely painful.
My brain was just empty. As if I had taken a dose of ketamine. I would most of the time just see nothingness, sometimes suddenly disturbed by really frightening images (at one point I had my eyes closed and I saw the eyeball monster from Pan's Labyrinth coming at me in a renaissance dress which in this case wasn't funny but scary as hell). At some point, all I could do was lay in some sort of fetal position with my eyes closed, waiting for it to pass by. Which it did, and then I fell into a really deep sleep straight away.
I am bummed out beyond words that I took too much of it. I definitely noticed effects (being sensitive to touch, 'silence' inside my head) that would have been super pleasant, if they would have occurred in moderation. My boyfriend also took some, and he was feeling really buzzy a euphoric and at some point kind of sedated. He had a really great time, so I am upset that I got the dose wrong. This is, obviously, to blame on myself and not on the product. So I will definitely try it again soon, and I will try not to overdose (what a resolution!)
[Azarius: As you concluded yourself, try to be a bit more careful the next time with dosage. Your boyfriend experienced the desired effect.]
