Standardized and Non Standardized

What's the difference? Is it a big deal which you buy?

 

according to iamshaman.com

What is the difference between "Standardized" and "Non-Standardized?"

Standardized incense begins with washed, de-stemmed Prime Harvest leaf and pure salvinorin. 100 grams of leaf is measured out, a corresponding exact amount of salvinorin is measured and then infused onto the leaf. This way, you can be assured of consistency in the strength of the incense, whether you order it today or next year, and you can always be assured that is is the cleanest burning incense available. This process takes much more time to complete, and requires much more care as well, but the end result is well worth the extra time, effort, and expense. There is more crushed leaf per gram than NON-standardized because there are far fewer stems.

NON-Standardized simply takes 100 grams of leaf, extracts the salvinorin with the tannins/black waxes with it, and then infuses it onto 10 grams of leaf. There is no way to know the exact strength of the incense, there are the added waxes/tannins that other incense doesn't have, and it's infused onto Oaxacan leaf instead of Prime Harvest.

 

Thanks man. Do you have an experiences with either of them? Of course if iamshaman is selling it they're gonna want the standardized to sound better if they're charging more.

 

standardized is better and easier to smoke

i would recommend using standardized, as the quality is much higher than non standardized
