| Cebil Seeds - Anadenanthera colubrina var. cebil Archeological investigations done by Dr. Manuel Torres, an expert on the archaeology and ethnobotany of ritual snuff use in South America and the Carribean revealed stunning evidence of ancient use of Cebil-containing snuffs.

Sacred use of cebil continues to this day among the shamans of the Wichi tribe of northern Argentina.
