Anadenanthera colubrina also known as Yopo, cebil, Vilca

Archaeological remains of Anadenanthera colubrina have been found all throughout South America and the West Indies.

The two species of trees in the Anadenanthera genus (A. peregrina and A. colubrina) both have hallucinogenic properties and have been widely used to make powerful psychoactive snuffs or smoked in American Indian cultures.

The Indian tribes mostly snuff the toasted and pulverized Yopo seeds/beans mixed with ashes or calcined shells. Adding limestone to the powder will strongly enhance the visual hallucinations. A good Yopo to limestone ratio is 3:1. Combine it with some Banisteriopsis caapi powder to make the trip even stronger. This is a rather harsh method and can induce violent sneezing and heavy hallucinations. More often, these tryptamines are smoked a smaller amount is needed in order to feel the effects, which arrive in a matter of seconds. The smell and taste is like burning plastic when smoked and it is harder to smoke than hash. However there is no evidence that it is damaging.

Effects of Yopo With sniffing the effects start in 5 minutes and last for 30 minutes. Small doses of Yopo (2-3 seeds) will generate light euphoria and minor (with eyes closed) hallucinations. Larger doses (4-5 seeds) will generate euphoria, stronger hallucinations and loss of bodily control. When smoked, the experience resembles that of smoking pure DMT. A smaller amount is needed in order to feel the effects, which start in a matter of just a few seconds. The peak lasts for three to ten minutes and will stop after twenty to thirty minutes.
