Premium mood altering Krishna

Screen1.jpg
So I see this advert for premium Kanna. For a few seconds I was confused. Kanna to me of course means either a child, a term of endearment or Krishna. My first thought was “Premium1 Krishna va?, maybe Grandma might like one.”. Further reading of course revealed that the Kanna referred to was this one.

Kanna elevates mood and decreases anxiety, stress and tension, and it has also been used as an appetite suppressant by shepherds walking long distances in arid areas. In intoxicating doses it can cause euphoria, initially with stimulation and later with sedation.

I wonder how different it is then. A devotee I know says pretty much the same thing about worshipping Krishna.
