Yopo Noob

[spacem0n]

Aloha,

I've been searching this topic for a couple of hours and I'm getting different answers. Can someone please check over my preparation method and tell me if I'm missing any steps?

I recently got some yopo seeds (Anadenanthera peregrina). I believe an acceptable method for preparing them is as follows:

Cook until the seeds pop
Remove the husk
Crush the inside to a fine powder
Add Sodium Bicarbonate (I can't get calcium hydroxide) - 1/4 of the seeds weight
Add a little water
Knead until it's mixed properly
Flatten out and let dry

Is there anything I'm missing? Anything that can be improved? I've had three failed dmt extractions before so I thought I'd try to do the easiest yopo tek I can find.

I intend on insufflating this but does anyone know if it can be smoked? Just curious..

Thanks in advance, I have been researching this but I don't want to mess it up.

use sodium carbonate. All u gotta do is bake sodium bicarbonate in the oven at 400f for 1-2 hours.

Id also recommend making it into bufo changa. Much cleaner experience. Just take the end result, soak in acetone and evaporate and scrape up the goo. put in 15ml of acetone and soak herbs in it. Wait a few hours and then evap.

Hey thanks a lot, I really appreciate your feedback and suggestion. Looks like I'd better start reading up on Changa leaf mixtures. :thumb_up:

Sodium carbonate is not strictly necessary, you can use also trees ashes and snail shell ashes. Toast well the seeds with gentle heat, leave the husk, toast again, make a powder and toast again, then add ashes and water and keep them 1 night to rest. After move the powder and wait until it's fully dried.

You can also put it under the tongue. It is better than snorting it, because snorting it could be painfull and you can easily swallow it by accident if you snort it, wich will cause severe nausea.

Smoking it works better than any other way, BUT, the smoke is extremely harsh.
I personally realy need to have a can of cola within reach, when i smoke it, because that's the only way to get the smoke out of my throat and mouth. That's how disgusting it is. Smoking it realy feels like signing up for lungcancer.

I think i'm gonna try this changa thing, because anything that will make it easier to smoke it is more than welcome.
