Leonotis Nepetifolia from South Africa

Native to Africa, India, and Latin America is the tropical and subtropical plant known as Klip Dagga (Leonotis nepetifolia). It goes by many names, such as Grantiparani, Shandilay, Christmas Candlestick, and Lion's Ear. The plant can grow up to 3 meters tall and bears enormous, vivid orange or scarlet flowers that are arranged in rounded clusters around the stems.

The alkaloid leonurine, which is thought to have a calming and somewhat euphoric effect, is found in the dried leaves and flowers of Klip Dagga. Due to its relaxing effects, although it is not as potent as cannabis, Klip Dagga is occasionally used as a natural substitute for cannabis in some regions of the world.

Klip Dagga is an all-around versatile and highly sought-after plant that is renowned for its inborn capacity to encourage relaxation and enhance general well-being.

What is the difference between klip dagga and wild dagga?

Klip dagga (Leonotis nepetifolia) and wild dagga (Leonotis leonurus) are related species but not the same. The main difference is leonurine content: wild dagga contains more of this active alkaloid and therefore produces a stronger relaxing effect. Visually, klip dagga has broader, heart-shaped leaves and slightly smaller flowers. Klip dagga grows worldwide in tropical areas, while wild dagga is found primarily in South Africa. For a mild relaxing experience, klip dagga is a good choice; for a stronger effect, opt for wild dagga flowers.

How do you use klip dagga for relaxation?

You can use klip dagga in three ways. As tea: use 1-2 grams per cup, steep for 10-15 minutes, and add honey for taste. Smoked: mix it with other herbs like damiana or mullein for a smooth smoking experience. In a vaporizer: vaporize at 150-175 degrees Celsius for the most efficient extraction of leonurine. Always start with a low dose and build up gradually. Learn more about relaxing herbs and how to use them on our blog.

Does klip dagga contain THC or other prohibited substances?

No, klip dagga contains no THC, CBD, or other cannabinoids. The active compound is leonurine, an alkaloid with a completely different chemical structure from the substances found in cannabis. Klip dagga is entirely legal in the Netherlands and virtually all other countries. The name 'dagga' is simply the South African word that is also used for cannabis, but that says nothing about its contents. The effect is mildly relaxing and slightly euphoric, without the psychoactive intensity of cannabis.
