New plant seems a lot like weed to be legal

Quote:
We're positioning (the product) for everyday people who are having a stressful time in the office, feeling a bit of social anxiety, tension or in a low mood," Gericke said.

The plant — known within South Africa as Kanna, Channa or Kougoed — has been used by the San people to reduce hunger, thirst and fatigue and is said to have sedative, hypnotic and mood-elevating effects. It is commonly chewed, but also can be made into tea or smoked.
LinkThis sound a lot like weed in a different form and the pharms are jumping on this – AND for use in the work place! Nice!

AND it says "for everyday people who are having a stressful time in the office", it doesn't say you can actually use it AT work.

Erowid describes Kanna as an "inebriating sedative"
