WEIGHTS & MEASURES

Why We Measure by Weight

We always sell our rapeh by weight, not volume. Because oils and botanicals vary in density, weighing each bottle ensures you get the exact same amount every time.

Example: Measuring to ½ oz (14.2 g)

Here’s how five different rapeh blends look when each is measured to exactly ½ oz (14.2 g). Lighter blends take up more volume (left), heavier ones take up less (right)—but the weight is identical.

Five glass bottles of rapeh powder, each measured to ½ oz (14 g): from left to right, Nunu, Ayawaska, Osha, Tsunu Forte, and Xiti.
From left to right: Nunu, Ayawaska, Osha, Tsunu Forte, and Xiti—each filled to exactly ½ oz (14 g).

Weight vs. Volume

Weight is the mass of an item on a scale. We sell rapeh and Kambô Powder by weight to guarantee consistent dosing.

Volume is the space an item occupies. It’s used when ratios matter more than precision—such as with Sananga, Palo Santo Oil, or Dragon’s Blood.

⚠️ Buyer Beware: The "Fluid Ounce" Trap

When comparing prices, note that some vendors sell by Fluid Ounces (fl oz). This is a measure of space, not amount. Because rapé is a light powder, a "1 oz" volume jar is often half-empty when placed on a scale.

A Simple Comparison:

• Competitor "1 oz" Jar: Measured by volume, usually weighing only 15–18 grams.
• Shamanic Supply 30g (1 oz) Jar: Measured by weight, giving you a full 30 grams.

The Shamanic Supply Guarantee: We strictly follow Net Weight standards for all dry botanicals. When you buy 30g from us, you receive 30g.
