In their words
Posters on quitting subreddits describe Kanva Focus and Flow as a kratom extract, with some calling it a kava-kratom mixture or drawing comparisons to derivatives like seven-oh. A few describe the initial experience as highly positive, supporting perceived benefits such as energy and clarity, before the habit quickly developed into a difficult addiction characterized by painful withdrawal, gut problems, and a pervasive mental fog, with some linking the product to serious consequences such as seizures and the breakdown of relationships. Disagreements exist among posters regarding the timeline of the worst withdrawal symptoms and the most effective strategy for quitting, as some find a taper with plain leaf helpful while a few warn this approach risks simply substituting one compulsion for another.
