Yopo Seed Pods?

[Morbidbystandard]

I have about a dozen, large Yopo seed pods and have no idea where to even start with these things. My question is, what has been the best way to experience Yopo in your opinion? Snuff? Smoked? With or without lime? Are there any tricks or incite I should know about?

Are they peregrina or colubrina? Typically voyagers roast the seeds lightly-moderately, ground them up and either snort with lime or extract further with solvents. The snorting of yopo can be quite painful but is the traditional way of taking this entheogen. Lime will aid in absorption so its preferable. Start low. I recommend reading through erowid yopo trip reports to gain a greater understanding of what it can do.

laying down with a bucket is a good start...

lightly toast the seeds, powder them..mix with calcium hydroxide or carbonate, add a little water and mix it around to raise the ph..let it dry..add some harmalas power/mix it all up...and then snuff.

That is my recipe. 1-2 seeds is a good place to start if they are potent. If you only get physical side effects and no visions, take more. The side effects can be so bad you might want to never take more or try it again, but trust me, there is a point at which this snuff can be about the most visual entheogen I have encountered. You just have to get the dose right and breath through the side effects.

The seed pod are Anadenanthera peregrina. Thanks for the info guys. Does doing a solvent extraction aid in reducing body load?

AFAIK, yes..the isolated principle won't cause what the physical seeds do(however it might due to varied effects of DMT), and mix with inhibiting compounds. Or smoke the dried material.

Morbid, please go back and edit your original post, removing all mention of "ordering" and "companies" and whatnot. This sort of discussion is not allowed on the forum. More details and the reasoning for this can be found on the Attitude Page.

My bad. I thought it only pertained to naming the actual source of the items. Thanks for the heads up.
