The powder made from the seeds is called cohoba, and it’s used in rituals in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Haiti, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. Many tools have been used to apply the medicine; the long tube, used for blowing cohoba to the nose of another person, being the most familiar object.

Before applying the rapé snuff to someone if you have not cleared your mind, it is recommended to first apply it to yourself so that you can clear your thoughts and increase your awareness.

Yopo Hapeh (sometimes referred to as yopo rapé) is a type of sacred snuff made from the seeds of the Anadenanthera peregrina tree, also known as the Yopo tree. This traditional preparation has been used for centuries by indigenous tribes in the Amazon, particularly in areas of Venezuela, Brazil, and Colombia, for ceremonial and healing purposes. It is closely tied to shamanic practices, spiritual exploration, and deep healing rituals.

Key Characteristics of Yopo Hapeh:

1. Ingredients: The primary ingredient in Yopo Hapeh is the powdered seeds of the Yopo tree. These seeds are rich in psychoactive compounds, particularly DMT and bufotenine, which can induce powerful visions and spiritual experiences. In some preparations, the seeds are mixed with other ingredients, such as ashes or herbs, to enhance the spiritual and physical benefits.

2. Cultural Use: Yopo Hapeh is used in various indigenous cultures for cleansing, healing, and connecting to the spirit world. It helps clear mental, emotional, and spiritual blockages, facilitating deeper meditation and connection to nature.

3. Effects: When administered through the nose (usually with a kuripe or tepi applicator), Yopo Hapeh can create an intense, purgative experience that includes deep introspection, vivid visions, and a heightened sense of awareness. Its effects can vary from mild to very powerful, depending on the dosage and the specific preparation.

4. Spiritual and Medicinal Benefits: Yopo is used to clear negative energies, release emotional traumas, and facilitate a stronger connection with one’s higher self or spiritual guides. It is also believed to help sharpen focus, enhance mental clarity, and promote overall well-being.

5. Use in Ceremony: Yopo Hapeh is often consumed in sacred ceremonies, guided by shamans who facilitate the journey. These ceremonies are typically conducted with great respect for the plant’s power and are used as a tool for healing and transformation.

Yopo Hapeh is considered one of the most potent forms of hapeh, and its use should be approached with caution and respect, particularly under the guidance of a knowledgeable practitioner.
