 Yopo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yopo, Anadenanthera peregrina, (also known as Cohoba, Nopo, Ñopo), is a native South American tree as well as an entheogen used in healing and rituals.

The beans of Anadenanthera colubrina have a similar chemical makeup as Anadenanthera peregrina, with their primary constituent being 5-OH-DMT or Bufotenin.

Anadenanthera snuffs are often known as paricá, a word I avoid, being a generic term for South American shamanic snuffs, also applied to those derived from barks of diverse Virola species (Myristicaceae), which are the subject of my third paper (Ott In press; see also de Smet 1985a, b).
There are various reports of oral ingestion of Anadenanthera seeds, whether as a simple masticatory or as an additive to alcoholic chichas, ranging from the Peruvian montaña to central Argentina, and from the epoch of the conquest to the twentieth century.
Both species of Anadenanthera used as snuffs have also reportedly been used as fumatories, especially cebíl seeds, which presently in the Chaco are more commonly smoked than snuffed (generally with tobacco); shamans assert they are more active thus (Torres and Repke 1996), which I and others in my presence have verified.

 Hallucogens And Culture
The mystery was cleared up when several species of Virola, a tree belonging not, like Anadenanthera, to the Leguminoseae (pea family) but, like nutmeg, to the Myristicaceae, were confirmed as source of some of the snuffs once attributed solely to A.
The principal hallucinogenic alkaloids in both Anadenanthera (peregrina and colubrina) and in the several species of Virola (V. theidora, V. callophylla, V. callophylloidea) are tryptamines, as they are also in one species of Banisteriopsis, and in the sacred mushrooms and other ritual hallucinogens of Mexico.
peregrina and colubrina, bufotenine (5‑hydroxy‑N, N‑dimethyltryptamine) is present in large amounts, and for a time the central nervous activity of Anadenanthera snuffs was thought to be due mainly to this alkaloid, which these leguminous trees share with the toad (Bufo spp.).

 DR1 Forums - For any dead heads who survived and live here
We are unaware of any cases in which an individual has been prosecuted after doing a home extraction of an Anadenanthera plant, although it seems possible that a few such cases might exist.
Large scale (especially commercial) extraction of DMT from Anadenanthera species falls into the realm of "clearly illegal" and would very likely be prosecuted.
It is also quite possible that importation of DMT containing Anadenanthera species into the United States could result in problems with customs, especially if large volumes are imported.

 Pharmanopo-Psychonautics
In spite of bufotenine's Schedule I-status in the United States, no laws were violated, neither technically nor de facto, in the course of this research-evidently only in the U.S. is bufotenine illicit; all chemical and psychonautic work was conducted in countries in which bufotenine is not a controlled substance.
Cebil-seed snuff was prepared by lightly toasting, then triturating to a coarse powder, freshly collected seeds (with addition of reagent-grade sodium bicarbonate as a drying agent to facilitate finer pulverization, and in emulation of shamanic use of ashes or lime in Anadenanthera snuffs).
I think my evidence, although it of course requires further confirmation by others, is conclusive and consistent-there is no reason to look beyond bufotenine, by far their major tryptamine, for the psychoptic agent of shamanic Anadenanthera preparations, whether snuffed, smoked, swallowed, sucked or inserted rectally.

In first place, it seems to be psychedelic only (if at all) at doses close to neurotoxic levels, and in second place the somatic effects are very unpleasant (nausea and suffocation).
On the other hand, if it turned out to be Anadenanthera peregrina (Yopo or Cohoba), it should contain mainly 5-MeO-DMT and DMT, and that's a different story.
Other plants in the census that may be psychoactive are cestrum nocturnum (with scopolamine and atropine), and the acacias (some contain tryptamines).
