Will Kanna Give a False Positive on a Drug Test? What You Need to Know
You're sipping your tea or taking a Kanna capsule, calm and focused. And then it occurs to you what if this appears on a drug test? If you're preparing for a new job or you simply want to know you have peace of mind, it's a fair question. With herbal supplements becoming increasingly popular, the question of what's in your system is more relevant than ever. We're examining today one of the most frequent questions: Will Kanna lead to a false positive on a drug test?
Let's break down the facts surrounding this South African plant and what you need to know if you're taking it and you're being tested.
Is Kanna Legal?
Yes, to the United States, and to most countries, Kanna is legal. It is not a federal scheduled drug, and there are minimal restrictions on its sale, possession, or use within most states. Except in Lousiana where they ban and make it as an illegal drug. But legality can vary slightly by what's in effect locally, so always check the rules in your specific area.

What's in Kanna That Can Cause a Drug Test?
Kanna has several naturally occurring alkaloids, the most significant of which are mesembrine, mesembrenone, and mesembrenol. They are chemically distinct from the drugs most frequently assayed for in general drug screening, such as
• THC (Marijuana)
• Amphetamines
• Opiates
• Benzodiazepines
• Cocaine
Because of this, Kanna's active ingredients are highly unlikely to lead to issues under ordinary workplace or pre-hire testing. Unless a test is designed to find mesembrine, which is not likely and not standard, Kanna will not lead to a positive drug test.
Can Kanna result in False Positive?
The short answer: It's not likely.
To our knowledge, no documented evidence exists to indicate that Kanna use leads to false positives on drug tests, like urine, saliva, or hair analysis. Kanna alkaloids do not possess chemical profiles to mimic those these tests are designed to identify.
Everything being equal, there are a few false positives in non-specific drug testing that do happen as a result of cross-reactivity. They are rare and usually with drugs with a similar chemical composition to controlled drugs. Kanna does not.
