OK I'm not going to apologise for asking questions because I want to learn, but if the question has been asked ad nauseum then I do apologise, but I haven't seen it addressed anywhere... Why do every posted bit of information on Yopo or Cebil or Vilca/Angico, whichever they say to roast the seed until popping so that the coating can be removed? They're really quite easy to peel without popping. Just bend them a few ways and the coating peels off. Tantra also suggested to me that one keep the coatings (as it had been said in other places that the coatings may contain higher doses of n,n, dmt than the seed inside. But a friend of mine tried smoking (with and without added bicarb+water) the seed coating and got no discernible effects. I'm talking about the seed coating not the outer pod casings (which have been "proven" to contain n,n dmt and I wish I could get my hands on some). Should my friend have perhaps saved a lot more of the dark seed coating and used a greater quantity than one waterpipe bowl full? Sorry guys that's two questions. I'm trying to ram this shit home in my head. Yes I have used search engines but perhaps not well enough.
