Hapé is completely legal in the U.S. This sacred snuff contains Amazonian plants and herbs and comes from the indigenous cultures of the Brazilian Amazon — directly sourced from tribes like the Yawanawá, Kaxinawá, Kuntanawá and Nukini. It is not for smoking: a fine powder of tobacco, bark, leaves and seeds used in ceremony, with recipes often kept secret by the shaman.
We generally recommend working with hapé no more than twice per day — frequent use can build tolerance, and overuse can cause sinus problems. Listen to your body and your intuition. Beginners: about half a pea-sized amount per nostril.
