Ok so listen to this..

The natives apparently do one step that I have never heard of anyone here doing before..they ferment the seeds..even ott mentions this..though noone really knows what this would do, but many things undergo enzymatic processes when fermented..

Goes something like this..

THey first toast the seeds, and then grind themup, mix with pure water to form a paste(without any base), and cover it so it stays moist for a few days in order to ferment..then they dry it out, mix with base and make a paste again and then dry that and grind it up..interesting..has anyone else heard or tried this before??

Perhaps this step is the key to making a real breakthrough snuff..
