So, you’re interested in taking Voacanga seeds. That’s great! But before you go off and order something online, let’s talk about a few things.
I’ve seen a lot of articles recently talking about how voacanga is addictive and dangerous for some people and I wanted to address this issue to help clear up the confusion and misinformation out there.
The Voacanga tree produces small fruits that contain psychoactive chemicals called harmala alkaloids, which cause feelings of euphoria and hallucinations.
These alkaloids are also found in the bark of other plants like Peganum harmala (Syrian Rue) and Mimosa hostilis (Jurema).
It can be, yes
The short answer to this question is yes. Voacanga Africana is an extract of the African bush, and some people who take it regularly can develop a tolerance to its effects.
It’s not as addictive as heroin or other stimulants, but it does have the potential to be habit-forming.
If you’re taking voacanga Africana as prescribed by a doctor, then your risk for addiction is unlikely. The recommended dosage is small and taken only occasionally (such as once every few weeks).
If you are taking large amounts of voacanga Africana (for example, several times per day), then there’s an increased chance that you’ll develop a tolerance over time and need higher doses in order to feel their intended effects.
The same goes if you’re using it consistently over long periods of time
—the more often you take something like this herb extract every day or week will increase its chances at becoming habit-forming since your body builds up resistance against its use over time
Voacanga is a highly addictive substance
Voacanga is a highly addictive substance. While it’s not approved for medical use, Voacanga can be deadly if you use it with other drugs or alcohol.
In addition to causing severe hallucinations, Voacanga can also cause changes in your heart rate and blood pressure that make you feel like you’re dying.
Voacanga is a hallucinogen
—it causes users to see things that aren’t there, such as animals or people who aren’t really there.
This is usually accompanied by feelings of euphoria, relaxation, and happiness but may include paranoia as well.
Voacanga Africana is not considered a narcotic because it does not produce analgesic effects when administered to humans or animals, nor does it produce physical dependence when taken by itself at moderate doses over time.
It is also important to note that Voacanga Africana does not cause hallucinations as many other hallucinogens do; instead, it produces psychedelic effects in users who ingest large quantities of the plant’s leaves over short periods of time
—but we’ll get into that later!
Prolonged use can develop tolerance
But with prolonged use, users can develop a tolerance for the effects of Voacanga Africana and need larger doses to get the same effect. You may have heard that Voacanga Africana is not addictive.
However, this is not the case.
Although Voacanga Africana does not lead to physical dependence—meaning you won’t suffer withdrawal symptoms if you stop taking it suddenly
—tolerance can develop quickly with prolonged use.
Tolerance occurs when your body gets used to a drug and requires more of it in order to get the same effect.
In other words, tolerance is defined as “an increase in response over time following repeated administration of a specific dose.”
This means that after using Voacanga Africana for a while, you may need more than before just to feel normal again (which means Voacanga Africana could still be considered addictive).
When someone develops a tolerance for a substance such as Voacanga Africana, they become dependent on it because they feel like they need the drug in order to function properly or even feel normal again.
Tolerance can also lead people into addiction if they continue using despite negative consequences (such as getting fired from their job) because they feel like they need their fix!
The effects of using Voacanga are devastating
And with large doses, it is possible to become dependent on Voacanga Africana. But this is true of a lot of medications. As a natural substance, Voacanga Africana is not as addictive as some other medications.
While it is possible to become dependent on the plant, this is true of many other prescription drugs.
If you take Voacanga Africana in large doses or if your doctor prescribes it for an extended period of time, there’s a good chance that you will develop an addiction.
However, if you take small and infrequent doses prescribed by your doctor, then there should be no risk of addiction at all!
The effects of using Voacanga are devastating.
The drug may cause hallucinations, seizures, heart problems, liver damage, strokes, and death.
Researchers believe that constant use can lead to addiction. They also know that people who have used the substance multiple times report experiencing intense cravings for the drug when they stop taking it.
Scientists have not yet been able to determine if this is because there are still new chemicals in the body that haven’t been eliminated or if there is a physical dependence on these chemicals after prolonged use of Voacanga products.
You can become addicted to Voacanga Africana but it’s not likely if you are taking it as prescribed. Voacanga Africana is a stimulant that has some similarities with the drug cocaine and can lead to addiction in some cases.
However, research shows that while Voacanga Africana is addictive, this effect is only seen when people take large amounts of the substance.
Using Voacanga can be deadly
- Voacanga can be fatal.
- Voacanga can cause brain damage.
- Voacanga can cause seizures.
- Voacanga can cause hallucinations and psychosis, which are mental disorders that involve seeing or hearing things that aren’t there, having false beliefs about yourself or others, and feeling paranoid or suspicious for no reason at all. People with these disorders often have problems with their thinking ability as well as their memory and concentration levels, which may make it hard for them to do everyday tasks like work or schoolwork without help from others around them!
- Nausea is another side effect of using voacanga because it’s so easy for people who take this drug on a regular basis (like every day) will experience nausea within minutes after taking their first dose in the morning before heading off to work so they don’t miss out on important meetings later in the day.
Conclusion
If you want to know if Voacanga is addictive, you first need to understand what an addiction is.
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), addiction is a chronic condition characterized by compulsive, out-of-control drug use that develops over time and leads to negative consequences.
If you have an addiction, then any drug can be risky because it may cause problems in your life or danger for yourself or others around you.
Voacanga is not considered addictive because it does not cause compulsive use and negative consequences like other drugs do.
There are no known cases of people becoming addicted to voacanga alone but if taken with alcohol or other substances there could be dangerous interactions that lead to side effects such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, or headaches.
So, conclusively, yes, you can become addicted to voacanga Africana, but it’s not likely if you are taking it as prescribed.
If you start to feel like your body is craving more voacanga Africana or that you can’t function without it, talk to your doctor about what might be causing this and how to manage it.
