What is a buffo?

Bufotenine is a tryptophan found in various plants, fungi and even the toad Bufo alvarius, from which it gets its name. Bufotenine is very similar in chemical structure to the neurotransmitter serotonin. This substance plays a very important role in the body and is involved in many types of vital functions, such as mood, sexual desire and sleep patterns. Bufotenine is also very similar to psilocybin, XXX and X-XXX-XXX. There have been several clinical studies on the effects of bufotenine in recent decades. There is still controversy about its psychedelic properties. Today it is believed that bufotenine produces effects similar to X-XXX-XXX, although less intense. Experiments with pure bufotenine have yielded different results, with individuals sometimes experiencing visual effects ranging from moving lines to colorful spots. Andrew Weil, the famous physician and psychedelic researcher, has done several interesting experiments with bufotenine to better identify its various effects. Bufotenine is an alkaloid and takes its name from the genus of bufo toad. The Colorado toad (Bufo alvarius) and the giant toad (Bufo marinus) both secrete a toxin containing bufotenine. Bufotenine is also found in the Amanita genus of fungi, including Amanita Muscaria.

X-XXX-XXX

This substance is considered one of the most powerful hallucinogens known on earth. It is responsible for the highly psychedelic experience that occurs after taking Yopo. X-XXX-XXX is found in trees of the genus Virola (it is related to the nutmeg) and, like bufotenine, is present in the excretion of Bufo alvarius, among others. Both are inactivated orally, as the body uses monoamine oxidase (MAO) to trigger a decomposition process. X-XXX-XXX is usually smoked, or taken together with an MAO inhibitor to activate it orally.

As it gets?

Traditional use of yopo Anadenanthera Peregrina

The yopo is used as a medicine and as a way to get in touch with the gods. Indigenous people use yopo during spiritual ceremonies, usually in the form of a dust that is aspired. This way, a very powerful visionistic experience takes place. Indigenous populations of the Orinocco Basin in Colombia and Venezuela use yopo within their culture, as well as tribes of the Amazon region of Brazil. This was during the time when Europeans "discovered" the Americas and came into contact with the Indian costumes. Christopher Columbus had known that the "Kings" of these Indians aspired or blown a mysterious dust similar to Rapé, of which they were infatuating. It took at least 400 years before understanding what plant it was. Today correctly known as Anadenanthera Colubrina.Archaeological findings show that yopo has been used by man for thousands of years. One of the oldest evidence of the use of yopo as spiritual medicine are small pipes for aspiration or sophur made with the bone of a puma (Felis concolor). This archaeological test was found in the province of Jujuy in Argentina. Through research, it seems to be traced back to 2130 years BC. This means that the use of yopo through pipes is more than 4000 years.Also, near the coast of Peru, similar pipe tests were found which were used about 1200 years before Christ. It is recommended as written above to read the article "yopo" where the experience is explained in detail.

Use of yopo

Traditionally, it yopo It is usually done by shaman. Blowing yopo is more effective than when aspiring. Also, when blown causes less irritation to the nose. rape, blowing is very important according to tradition, because a certain energy is transmitted through the breath. Traditionally, bamboo sticks were used to blow. In the gro many propose chopped or freebased seeds without activation, but above all without removing the skins, chopping everything, so it is not the same thing. besides you need to drink first Syrian Ruta or Ayahuasca that act as Inhibiters-Imao, so you have a complete process and ceremony

Traditionally, beans from the bean yopo They are toasted until they make a "scratching" sound.

Then the beans are first removed entirely the skins and then ground in powder and mixed with ashes and shells and lime lime lime lime, then let it rest and cook again.

Adding inhibitors-MAO

It is necessary to add an inhibitor to be able to have a connection process and therefore not only the physical one.An example of Ceremony in combination with an inhibitor-MAO is the ayahuasca: this combines the XXX with the Banisteriopsis caapi. When the XXX is taken through a drink, that is, by mouth, the body is unable to absorb it. The MAO inhibitor makes the XXX active by mouth and provides a strong Ceremonial experience. Besides the Banisteriopsis caapi, Other MAOs include the Syrian ruta and to a lesser extent passiflora.When a MAO inhibitor is added to the use of yopo, it creates a more intense experience that lasts longer.

Oral use of yopo

The yopo Anadenanthera Peregrine There are some cases where the South American tribes combine small amounts of yopo with a special beer made with corn (chichas). In low doses, this produces an unpleasant effect, with a lot of nausea. Originally, beans were also used as the main ingredient of a purga called bilca tauri and were used in certain ceremonies. Some tribes took it every month to throw up and get rid of negative energy. because it is believed to be dangerous.
