Today I had the great idea to take Kanna nasally. Since my ET4 extract is very clumpy, it's impossible to snort it. So, I weighed out my 30mg dose and mixed it with 5 drops of water and some salt. The Kanna dissolved surprisingly well, and I was very confident that it would work well. So, I took my dropper and divided the solution between both nostrils.

The first thing I felt was an intense stinging pain in my nasal mucosa. It was so bad that I felt the need to blow my nose and clean it with nasal spray. But I decided against it because I wanted to feel the effects of the Kanna.

Just 30 seconds later, the rush began. The rush was more intense than anything I had ever felt before. I had a panic attack and felt like I was losing my mind. It was very dissociative, everything was spinning, and I could barely stand on my feet. I thought to myself, 'if I'm already experiencing such a strong high now, how bad will it be in 30 minutes?' which intensified my panic even more.

A brief note: the set and setting were very good, and I am a very responsible consumer. I never thought something like this would happen to me. Consequently, this negative experience hit me even harder because I couldn't quite place it.

So, after about 3-4 minutes, I blew my nose and cleaned it several times with nasal spray. But the pain and panic did not subside. My body got hot, and I started sweating. Then I opened the window and sat by the fresh air until the panic subsided. That took about 10 minutes.

Despite the fact that this entire experience lasted less than 20 minutes, it felt like an eternity to me. The feeling was comparable to a bad trip from mushrooms or LSD.

When I realized that I was becoming clearer in my mind again, relief set in. However, there was no positive effect from the Kanna. I think in the future, I'll stick to the sublingual route of administration.

While this may not be a particularly positive trip report, I believe it's important to highlight the negative aspects as well. Kanna is definitely not a 'subtle herbal remedy' but rather a potent drug. This experience has shown me that in the future, I need to be even more cautious with substance intake.
