Which Should I Choose?
Both are gentle, moderate-potency strains favored for inner work rather than intense visuals, making either a great choice for meditation or ceremony. Choose Mazatapec for its warm, spiritual character and direct cultural lineage to traditional Mazatec ceremonial use. Choose Koh Samui for an especially introspective, emotionally clear headspace that suits journaling and self-inquiry. The two are close in feel; pick Mazatapec for a ceremonial, heart-centered tone and Koh Samui for quiet, analytical reflection.
