(Yopo / 3 seeds) - First time - heaven and hell

[Jackplays]

To begin, I suppose it would probably be a good idea to provide as best a guide for preparing these seeds as possible, and as I did it. I do not know if my preparation was just very good or these were strong seeds or both. To begin, I toasted 3 seeds in the microwave for approx 40 seconds. At this point they had nearly burst and the shell was easy to take off. The inner seed "meat" was ground to as fine a powder as I could possibly muster. I added approx 1/2 the mass of the crushed seed meat of baking soda. Now, I added the same amount of what *should* have been calcium carbonate (I'm not entirely sure if it was at this point. It had been sitting in a jar with enough water to form a soupy paste for approx 2 days, so could have very well reacted and turned to calcium bicarbonate). If using dry calcium carbonate, now is when you want to add a few drops of water. After that, I spread it out on a piece of aluminum foil for approx 2 hours. At this point I put it in a lightly heated oven until dry. It was then crushed again, and ready for insufflating.

If insufflating it, I would highly recommend you follow this procedure for snorting it: find a straw (preferably with a bend) that you can put in your mouth and in your nostril at the same time. Preferably, you want 2 of these, one for each nostril. You should then put the yopo concoction in equal amounts into each of these straws. Put one end of the straw in your mouth, and other in your nostril, and blow. This is in line with the traditional way of having someone else blow the powder into your nose, and is said to be easier and more effective. Now onto my trip report. Insufflating the substance was among the most painful things I have ever voluntarily experienced. I did one nostril first with half the powder, and nearly fell over at the pain. It was shocking, to say the least. The pain more or less stopped after 10 seconds. I can't imagine I could have continued with the other nostril had I railed it like a normal line (not to mention the fact that this insufflating method works for all substances, and is healthier as you don't get substance into your lungs). I proceeded to take the other half, with the same results. At this point, tears were coming out, be it from me being in a lot of pain or just that it made me want to sneeze, I don't know.

Immediately, I noticed a heavy feeling in all my limbs and feet, and stood up to get water, as the taste of the yopo dripping down your throat is VILE. After drinking a load of water, I finally lay down. As soon as I lay down I feel like I am melting into what I am laying on. At this point, I can break myself out of it. I drink more water and stare at my window and attempt to meditate to calm myself. The body load is mildly uncomfortable at this point, and I start getting nauseous. Eventually, I throw up, which is normal. It feels as though something is on my chest. As more yopo drips down the back of my throat, I throw up again. It is very hard to sit up to throw up. At this point I make myself stand up and get some tissues to blow my nose into to get the yopo out (probably after about 8ish mins after insufflation). After I blow my nose, I am entirely fine. At this point, everything was morphing. The tree outside my house looked amazingly like a giant wooden eagle, with emeralds for eyes, and the drapes were flowing as though they were a flowing river. I close my eyes, and I fall into a trance. This entire part onward felt about 5 minutes, but was in reality about 45 minutes. I can't exactly remember everything, but the visuals were non geometric, and had a very "shamanic" feel I guess you could say. One that really stood out to me was where there were 2 lines of brightly colored beads being pulled a cross some sort of table and being braided into one line. I can't remember the moment I came out of this trance. After that, everything was still moving mildly for about an hour or so.

I said before that this was some of the worst pain experienced in my life, so you may ask if I plan to do it again. My answer is definitely yes. Obviously, I have left some things out because this substance is extremely spiritual and what you see and experience on it should be for you and you alone. I hope with this report I can help some of you on your journey.

Thank you very much for the report for quite a rare psychedelic! Big thanks for elaboration on the method of preparation!

I was thinking about trying yopo seeds for it's aforementioned shamanic properties, a mixture of Bufotenine, 5-Meo-DMT and DMT sounds interesting.
I wonder if taking Ondansetron couple hours prior would help with the body load and could be useful at all with yopo seeds insufflation?..

Honestly, it might be preferable to not attempt to prevent the nausea and just throw up to get it over with, as the nausea goes away completely after you throw up. I imagine if you try to prevent nausea too much your gambling with getting stuck with mild-medium nausea all trip. I should add for clarification ratio of yopo:Calcium carb:sodium bicarbonate is 2:1:1. Will be attempting different preparations, to see what it better and more or less painful.

Dude...paragraphs please! Cannot read and really wish to as as yopo is an old favorite.

For what it is worth....the effects are all bufotenine. There are traces of 5meodmt and perhaps dmt....but just traces. Ive never felt any 5meodmt or dmt-like effects from yopo or cebil.

I edited in paragraph breaks where I felt appropriate. Thanks for sharing.

Recommendation: to avoid some of the "worst pain of your life" and damage to your sinuses, try doing a simple alcohol extraction on the seeds. As you normally would, toast them lightly until they pop a bit in the pan, then let them cool. Grind them in a coffee grinder, then soak them in your country's legal solvent of choice (isopropyl, ethanol, whatevs.) Strain, evaporate it down to concentrate it, then add the extract to some easily smokeable plant matter like cornsilk or (even better) caapi leaves. Once the plant matter has soaked it up, let it dry. You now have shelf stable smokeable mostly bufotenine extract. With the addition of RIMAs like harmine from caapi or harmaline/harmine from Peganum harmala orally or smoked (and making sure you aren't on any medication that will interact with them), the experience slows and extends itself. It's not as shamanic or deep this way, but it's a heck of a lot less unpleasant. I find bufotenine to be visual eye candy with no depth, but it's still quite the spectacular eye candy.
