What are the different forms of fortified leaf?
These products fall into the following two categories: Crude extract enhanced leaf: This is prepared by mixing a tar-like crude extract with Salvia divinorum leaves. This type of product concentrates tars and other potentially harmful components of the leaf. Crude-extract enhanced leaf is often described by a number followed by an x (such as “5x,” “10x,” etc). The number indicates the ratio of extract to leaf. For example, “5X” is prepared by mixing one unit of leaf with the tar-like crude extract obtained from four units of leaf. The resulting product is thus five times as potent as the leaves used to produce it. This type of product can vary tremendously in potency because the potency of the leaves used to produce it varies. It has a somewhat sticky feel and inferior burning characteristics due to the impure quality of the extract. Standardized salvinorin A enhanced leaf: This is prepared by extracting pure salvinorin A (the active principal of the plant), then adding a measured quan
