Yopo preperation

[Arcadia]

Hi everyone, my friend is trying to smoke some apparently high grade Anadenanthera peregrina from a reputable vendor in Cali
Is it necessary to heat them until they pop? Is there an easier way to deshell it?

And should he start out with one seed? I see 3 or 4 positive reviews on the seeds and I feel that maybe he should start low.

Anyways, what does everyone think the best way preparing a smoking mixture out of these seeds is? he doesn't have any access to naptha or acetone at the moment so any suggestions are appreciated!

Peace and prosperity

He apparently has some medicinal marijuana.
Would that be a good idea to smoke with deshelled yopo powder?

Yes that would be an ok combination but maybe get to know the yopo alone at first. You can dehusk by bending the seed; the husk should break on one side; bend opposite way and husk breaks on other side and each half can be pulled away from the bean.

You should roast them as they lose 1/5th their weight in nasty fats and oils.

Also; freebase before vaporizing. Soak crushed beans in "clear" (surfectant-free) ammonia 20 minutes, remove from the bath and put under a fan; then smoke when they have dried completely. This is great for smoking as there is no excess matter.

Or you can freebase with ash, calcium carbonate (makes eggshell), etc like any yopo tek.

You can also do a crude extraction with Isopropyl alcohol after freebasing and evaporate over more beans or maoi mixture is great.

My dog enjoys MAOI before/with the vaporizing of his beans.

Blessings.

Thanks for such wise advice!
The MAOI has yet to come to his house but he also possesses some chacruna? Would that make a somewhat efficient smoking mixture once freebased?
