What is the difference between standardized and non standardized Salvia?
Is one of them smaller number healthy than the other? I've looked all over for this answer and I'm still confused. BTW it is court where I live. It should be legal everywhere. The policy is ruining religion. Sorry for that rant.
Answer: Some contains spit,others don't.
Healthy or unhealthy really isn't a concern when it comes to salvia. I think what you're asking is really roughly potency. There are companies who sell much higher potency salvia than what grows instinctively. These are not necessarily any more or less healthy for you, but the psychotropic effect they enjoy is much greater.
It is legal in most places, but not for long it appears. Many states are trying to outlaw it. And it doesn't really enjoy anything to do with religion. Government and religion both go a long process in ruining everyday life because they both want to control people's lives. That's my rant..
I own experienced many different types of Salvia Divinorum for a total of about 40 experiences. The difference between standardized and non-standardized is its consistency, near standardized, you get an exact amount of salvinorin-a in per part. Non-standardized is less homogeneous, so some experiences may be stronger than others. However, from the non-standardized experiences I've had, the difference between the two are totally trivial, amass the few dollars and go non-standardized unless you are using it for medical experiments where you obligation precision.
And when you do purchase, buy from iamshaman.com...it was actually created by Daniel Siebert...vitally the man who brought Salvia to the states and extracted it for the first time. The shopekeeper's are extremely nice and often throw in extra resting on what you order (not so much for Salvia, but other entheogens.).
When you standardize something means you concentrate the float compound that is responsible for what that herb does. Ususally that's what you look for. You get a standard dosage contained by every pill. . If not standardized you don't know if you are getting anything of the herb that works. ONLY USE STANDARDIZED, THE OTHER IS CRAP. http://www.Salvia.md has all the info as powerfully as the most potent extract I've ever tried...
