From very remote times, the indigenous inHabitants of various parts of
South America have been aware of the hallucinogenic properties of
diverse species of the genus Anadenanthera. The seeds of the tree are
either ground with a mortar and pestle into a powder or moistened and
rolled into a hard paste with some lime. In some areas the seeds are
also smoked. The seeds of this species A. colubrina were employed as
a snuff or in beverage in pre-Columbian times.
In Argentina, the early Spaniards found the Comechin Indians taking
sebil "through the nose" to become intoxicated, and in another tribe
the same plant was chewed for endurance. Since these Indian cultures
have disappeared, our knowledge of vilca snuffs and their use is limited.
The seeds offered here are strictly for horticultural or incense use only,
