Vilca (Anadenanthera colubrina), also known as cebil, is a South American tree closely related to the Yopo, A. peregrina, as well as the entheogenic snuff made from the seeds of the tree. The main active constituents of vilca are DMT and 5-MeO-DMT. As DMT is quickly metabolised, the effects of the drug are short acting.
Little is known about Vilca as usage seems to have died out; however, in all likelihood it is very similar to yopo. The seeds of the tree are powdered or made into a paste with some lime, and then blown into the nostrils by an assistant.
