Unfortunately the guide that were going to take me to the camalonguero didnt show up. So today I went down to Belen and checked out the camalonga seeds they have there. It turns out that they use different kind of camalonga seeds. One is from Brazil, it is a bit stronger than the peruvian kind. There is also another type from Ecuador.

Price was less than a dollar for a pair of the seeds. I also talked to a guy at the market that was a camalonguero. He told me there was 3 ways to prepare camalonga. The main one that most use down here is a mixture of aguardiente+some kind of onion+camphor.

There was also one preparation with tobacco.

WARNING: As I cannot vouch for the correctness of the information stated below, it would be good to start with a dose waaaay lower than the one mentioned here. Ill try it at some point myself and see how it works out.

The third one that I was most interested in was with water. To prepare two doses, you take 1 male and one female seed. Take off the outer shell and throw it away. Cut the seeds in two and put it in ~300 ml of water and cook it for 30 minutes or so until it has been reduced to about 75 ml. Then drink half. You can reduce it more for a stronger dose.

He also took VERY little piece of the seed and told me to suck on it. I did, but not sure if I noticed anything. Perhaps some slight ringing in the ears. But we are talking about less than a mg or so. He just stuck the knife into the seed, about 3mm in and twisted the knife around.

From what I hear it is good for dreams.

Anyways, I should get a translator with me, because I didnt understand much of what he said.

Perhaps I could send some seeds, if someone would be serious about growing it and distributing it to make it cheaper. Depending on how expensive it is to send from peru.
