Wild Dagga (Leonotis leonurus) — Dosage, Effects & Pharmacology

Wild Dagga Dosage Guide

Wild Dagga, also known as “Lion’s Tail,” is a vibrant orange-flowered relative of mint that offers soothing, mildly euphoric, and uplifting effects. It’s often considered a legal, herbal analog to cannabis — but with a lighter, clearer high.

We recommend starting with about 500mg of our extract. Work your way up from there as needed.

The Pharmacology of Wild Dagga

Wild Dagga’s primary active compound, leonurine, acts on serotonin (5-HT1A) and adrenergic receptors, inducing mild euphoria and relaxation while supporting cardiovascular tone.

Its diterpenes and alkaloids also show anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, explaining its traditional use as a tonic herb and gentle mood stabilizer.

Additionally, polyphenols and flavonoids (like catechins and tannins) provide antioxidant and vascular benefits, enhancing recovery and circulation.

It’s also a known phytoestrogenic and adaptogenic tonic, helping to harmonize hormonal activity and libido across genders.

Common Misconceptions

“It’s a weed substitute.”
Wild Dagga’s magic is subtler — it’s more spiritual than stoning. It brings a sunny clarity, not intoxication.

“It’s just for smoking.”
Tea, tincture, or capsule forms often deliver smoother and longer-lasting effects with less fatigue afterward.
