No, it is not different. I've talked to owners of this shit, who have all agreed with me, on the fact that it smells like hay, is wet and moist (because it comes in vaccum sealed bags). You leave it out, and it shrinks and dries. It's packaged when it's harvested. It's not cured.

It's just like fools gold. This is fools weed. It looks good, there's no denying that. It has bag appeal, which is all they care about, because this is their job and they need their money. They are exporting this stuff, and people are stupid enough to buy it. All they need to make their money is bag appeal and it's working, as people are buying this.
