Inebriating Sedative
 
Kanna – which is also called by its scientific name, sceletium tortuosum – is a succulent plant that’s native to South Africa, where native cultures have long used this plant as a stimulant and discomfort reliever. It’s also called channa or kuogoed, which means “chewable.” (A reference to one of the ways in which native cultures enjoy kanna.)
In nature, kanna is a groundcover plant with lovely flowers that have thread-like petals. The South African Hotentot tribe would chew fermented kanna roots and leaves to boost mood, but there is evidence that prehistoric cultures used kanna as well.
