Information AboutVilca |
Vilca (''Anadenanthera colubrina''), also known as '''cebil''', is a South America n tree closely related to Yopo , or ''A. peregrina''. Vilca and '''Cebil''' also refer to the Entheogen ic snuff made from the seeds of the tree. The main active constituents of vilca are Bufotenin and to a much lesser degree DMT and 5-MeO-DMT . As Bufotenin is quickly metabolised, the effects of the drug are short acting. Usage of Vilca was and is almost identical to usage of Yopo. The seeds and leaves of both trees have been snuffed, smoked and absorbed Sublingually . When snuffed, the seeds of the tree are powdered or made into a paste with some lime, and then blown into the nostrils by an assistant. Even as recently as 1996 there have been reports of active use of Vilca by Wichi shamans, under the name ''hatáj'' 2001, p.90 . It is also believed that Vilca seeds were consumed orally by the Incas.
