Listen to Joe Moore, co-founder and CEO of  Psychedelics Today interview KA! Empathogenics founder Stephanie Wang about their first-of-its-kind empathogenic supplement Kanna Chew.

This episode explores Kanna (or Sceletium tortuosum), a succulent plant native to South Africa that functions as a natural serotonin reuptake inhibitor. Its heart-opening and empathy-generating qualities are similar to MDMA, but without the amphetamines and neurodegenerative aspect.  In contrast to MDMA, Kanna has additional benefits that include improving sleep, preventing gut inflammation, enhancing focus and awareness, as well as helping increase physical endurance and resilience to stress.

Stephanie breaks down the science behind Kanna, contraindications, its history with the Khoisan people, her first Kanna ceremony experience, proper usage guidelines, and why she chose to name the company KA!

Their conversation touches on additional topics as well, such as society's move towards self-directed healing and natural health remedies, the degrees of preparedness for psychedelic substances across different cultures, and the complexity in the simple question, 'How are you?'.
