Contents: 15 seeds
Ingredients: 100% Anadenanthera Peregrina seeds

Yopo is one of the oldest known entheogenic plants from South America and has played an important role in shamanic and spiritual traditions for thousands of years. The seeds of the Anadenanthera Peregrina are known for their powerful psychoactive composition and are traditionally used for profound, visionary experiences. Due to their intensity, these seeds are primarily intended for experienced users who respect their traditional context and setting.

🌿 Background & Origin

Yopo originates from the Amazon and the Caribbean, where indigenous peoples used the seeds in rituals for healing, visions, and spiritual communication. Archaeological discoveries show that Yopo has been used for over 3,000 years . The plant was considered a sacred tool for expanding consciousness and gaining insight.

The seeds contain natural alkaloids responsible for their potent effects. In traditional cultures, Yopo was used exclusively ceremonially, often under the guidance of a shaman.

⚙️ Usage (General Information)

Indigenous South American tribes traditionally used Yopo as a snuff , a form of use still known today as its most potent. However, this method requires a careful, step-by-step preparation process, originally carried out by experienced medicine men.

The seeds are first thoroughly cleaned and then heated in a hot pan. This process removes the hard outer shell. The seeds are then heated for a while until they are completely dry and hard. In this state, they are ground into a powder.

The powder is then mixed with an alkaline substance, such as baking soda, and a small amount of water to form a paste. After drying, this paste is ground again into a very fine powder, which is traditionally administered through the nose.

The effects can be noticeable even with small amounts , while higher doses are known for their very intense and overwhelming effects. For this reason, this traditional method of use is associated exclusively with experiential and ritualistic use.

✨ Effects

The effects of Yopo are often described as:

- Strongly visionary and introspective
- Intense changes in visual and auditory perception
- Loss of sense of time
- Deep mental and spiritual insights

The experience is known to be powerful but relatively short , with a rapid peak and a clear finish. Many users report a sense of mental clarity and emotional release afterward.

⚠️ Possible Side Effects

As with many powerful entheogens, side effects can occur, including:

- Nausea
- Disorientation
-Increased heart rate
- Physical tension
- Fatigue afterwards

The intensity of the experience can be overwhelming for inexperienced individuals.

🚨 Warning

Yopo is not a recreational drug and requires careful, respectful use. Use only in a safe, calm environment and preferably under the supervision of an experienced practitioner. Not suitable for people with mental health conditions, heart problems, or during pregnancy. Keep out of reach of children.
