Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Alamosa County: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis
Living in Alamosa County means understanding the power of natural solutions. At 7,500 feet in the San Luis Valley, where the air is thin and the nearest specialist might be hours away in Colorado Springs or Denver, we learn to rely on what works. We understand that when you’re working the potato fields near Center, managing a small business in downtown Alamosa, or caring for family in the close-knit neighborhoods that dot Highway 160, you need options that are real, accessible, and grounded in evidence—not hype.
That’s why we’re reaching out to you directly across the Rockies from our home in Houston. We know Alamosa County residents don’t have time for marketing fluff, especially when you’re dealing with cancer treatment at San Luis Valley Health, chronic pain from decades of ranch work, the sleepless nights that come with high-altitude living, or the anxiety that too many of our veterans carry home from service. You deserve the full story about Rick Simpson Oil—what it is, what the science actually says, and how our modern formulation addresses the limitations of the original while honoring the spirit that made RSO a global phenomenon.
Who Was Rick Simpson and Why His Story Still Matters in the San Luis Valley
Back in 1949, a man named Rick Simpson was born in Amherst, Nova Scotia—about as far from the San Luis Valley as you can get geographically, but his story resonates here because it starts with the same frustration many Alamosa residents feel when conventional medicine falls short. Simpson wasn’t a doctor, wasn’t a scientist, wasn’t part of any medical establishment. He was a power engineer and maintenance worker, a blue-collar tradesman who knew how to fix things with his hands.
In 1997, while working at a hospital in Moncton, New Brunswick, Simpson fell from scaffolding and suffered a serious head injury. The aftermath included persistent tinnitus, dizziness, and post-concussion symptoms that his doctors couldn’t resolve. The medications they prescribed either didn’t help or made things worse. When he asked his physician about cannabis as an option, the door was closed in his face. Sound familiar? It should. We’ve heard the same story from agricultural workers in Conejos County who’ve been hurt on equipment, from veterans in Monte Vista told to take another pill, from folks in Del Norte who’ve cycled through prescriptions that promise relief but deliver side effects.
Simpson’s pivotal moment came in 2003, when three bumps on his arm were diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma. Rather than pursuing conventional treatment, he applied concentrated cannabis oil he’d made himself, claimed the lesions disappeared within four days, and from that moment forward, he dedicated his life to producing and distributing what became known as Rick Simpson Oil—giving it away for free to cancer patients and others in his community.
Traditional RSO: The 60-Gram Protocol That Created a Movement
The protocol Simpson developed became legendary: 60 grams of concentrated cannabis oil consumed over approximately 90 days. For Alamosa County residents researching RSO online, this is the protocol you’ll find in Facebook groups, Reddit threads, and patient forums. It’s important to understand it fully—not to follow it blindly, but to recognize both its historical significance and its limitations.
The Escalation Schedule
Simpson recommended starting with a dose the size of half a grain of rice—about 10-15 milligrams—taken three times daily. Every four days, you’d double the dose. By weeks 2-5, you’d be working up to 1 gram per day, divided into three doses of roughly 333 mg each. That dosing level would continue until you’d consumed the full 60 grams.
For perspective: assuming traditional RSO contained 60-90% THC, that protocol delivered approximately 600-900 mg of delta-9 THC per day at peak dosing. To put that in context for our Alamosa neighbors, that’s 30-45 times the typical daily dose of the FDA-approved synthetic THC drug dronabinol, which is usually prescribed at 2.5-20 mg per day.
How Simpson Recommended Taking It
- Sublingual/oral: Placing the oil under the tongue or swallowing it—Simpson considered this the primary route for systemic absorption
- Topical: Applying directly to skin lesions and covering with a bandage, changing every 3-4 days
- Not recommended as primary: Inhalation—though Simpson acknowledged it could provide immediate symptom relief for pain or nausea
The Reality Check Alamosa Residents Need
Here’s what no one else selling RSO in Colorado will tell you: Simpson’s protocol was never validated in controlled clinical trials. It was based on his personal experience and anecdotal observations, not on dose-finding studies or pharmacokinetic modeling. Several critical points apply specifically to our high-altitude community:
No controlled trial validation. There are no published randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, or well-documented case series evaluating this specific 60-gram protocol for any condition. The harsh truth is that the San Luis Valley’s thin air and remote location don’t change the fact that this protocol’s safety and efficacy were never systematically studied.
Very high THC exposure creates real risks. Consuming 600-900 mg of THC daily carries serious risks including severe intoxication, impairment, anxiety, panic, tachycardia, hypotension, and cannabis use disorder. For Alamosa County residents who need to drive Highway 285 to get to appointments, who operate heavy equipment for agricultural work, or who care for children or elderly parents, these impairments aren’t just inconvenient—they’re dangerous.
Assumes crude, unstandardized material. Traditional RSO potency varied wildly depending on starting plant material and extraction technique. A patient in Alamosa using oil from one batch to the next had no way of knowing if they were getting 60% THC or 90% THC—yet Simpson’s protocol assumed consistency.
Oncology context matters. Patients with active cancer are often medically complex. Using unregulated, unstandardized cannabis oil as a primary cancer treatment—potentially in place of proven therapies like those offered at San Luis Valley Regional Medical Center or specialist consultations in Pueblo—introduces harm that extends beyond the oil itself.
What OilWell Cannabis Brings to Alamosa County: A Different Approach
We didn’t start OilWell Cannabis in a corporate boardroom. We started it the same way many Alamosa County businesses begin—in a garage, driven by necessity, guided by love for someone who was suffering.
Bentley’s Story: The Foundation Everything Built On
Bentley was more than a dog—he was family. When veterinarians told us euthanasia was the only humane option because Bentley was paralyzed in his back legs, we refused to accept that verdict. Pharmaceuticals would have destroyed his organs while failing to address the root problem. Sound familiar? It’s the same impossible choice too many Alamosa County families face when told there are no more options.
A rescue worker named Jessica asked the question that changed everything: “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and you’ve never heard of CBD?” That was our blind spot. We had cannabis experience, but it was recreational—we’d never explored the therapeutic applications.
We created a CBD golden paste specifically for Bentley: organic turmeric, coconut oil, black pepper, and CBD oil. It wasn’t a miracle cure, but it was hope. And hope delivered what veterinary medicine said was impossible: Bentley got up. He walked over and brought us his ball. From paralyzed to playing fetch. That’s not placebo—dogs don’t respond to placebo. That’s cannabinoid medicine doing what pharmaceuticals cannot.
Bentley lived another ten years, passing naturally at age twenty. During those years, we developed specialized formulas for every age-related condition he faced. Neurodegeneration led us to understand CBG’s neuroprotective properties and THCa’s PPARγ agonism for brain cell protection. Dementia led us to CBC’s role in neurogenesis. Glaucoma led us to THC’s CB1 agonism for intraocular pressure reduction. Crippling arthritis led us to develop multi-pathway anti-inflammatory approaches using CBD, CBG, THCa, and beta-caryophyllene working through different receptor systems simultaneously.
From Personal Experience to Professional Mission
Single cannabinoids weren’t enough for Bentley. As his conditions evolved, minor cannabinoids became critical. This taught us what traditional RSO never understood: a multi-cannabinoid approach isn’t just better—it’s necessary for complex conditions. The precision mattered because Bentley’s life depended on it.
That same knowledge helped me (Colin) personally break free from Xanax addiction cold turkey—a notoriously difficult and dangerous process. The Peace Gummies formula that became one of our products was created during midnight experiments while fighting through benzodiazepine withdrawal. I personally use our vape formulation to manage insomnia and severe PTSD. This isn’t theoretical knowledge. I’ve lived what Alamosa County veterans and chronic pain patients live: desperation for relief, failed pharmaceuticals, the discovery that cannabinoids work when pills do not.
The OilWell RSO Philosophy: Four Core Principles for Alamosa County
Our RSO is not traditional RSO. It’s informed by Rick Simpson’s tradition but deliberately different in ways that solve real problems for people in places like Alamosa County:
1. Accessibility Over Gatekeeping
In Alamosa County, you shouldn’t need to drive three hours to a specialist in Colorado Springs or navigate a complex medical marijuana program to access quality cannabinoid medicine. Our products are available to anyone age 21+, with no medical card required. We ship directly to Alamosa County addresses—no need to make that trek over Poncha Pass when you’re not feeling well.
This aligns with Simpson’s belief that medicine should be accessible to everyone, but we’ve built a legal framework that makes it actually possible. While Rick Simpson was raided by the RCMP for giving away his oil, we operate under the 2018 Farm Bill, fully licensed and compliant.
2. Patient-Controlled Potency: The THCa Advantage
Traditional RSO was always fully psychoactive—all THCa converted to THC by heat, leaving patients with no choice about impairment. Our formula includes 1,500mg of THCa in its acidic, non-psychoactive form. You decide whether to use it raw for daytime relief or decarboxylate it for full potency.
For Alamosa County residents who need to drive to work at Cattails Golf Course, operate equipment on the farm, or stay clear-headed for family responsibilities, this is revolutionary. You get the therapeutic benefits without the high—until you choose otherwise.
How it works: Heat the oil at 260°F for 45-60 minutes, and that 1,500mg THCa converts to approximately 1,315mg of delta-9 THC. Combined with the existing 90mg delta-9 THC in our formula, you’re looking at roughly 1,405mg total delta-9 THC—potency comparable to traditional illegal RSO, but created legally in your own kitchen. The power is yours.
3. Open-Source Formulas
We publish our complete formulas publicly. If $129.99 for our 30mL sublingual oil or $49.99 for our vape cartridge doesn’t fit your budget, you can see exactly what’s in it, source the individual cannabinoid distillates, and make your own version. This isn’t marketing—it’s our founding principle.
Rick Simpson gave his oil away for free and taught people how to make it. We’ve adapted that ethos for the modern cannabinoid marketplace: sell a professionally manufactured, lab-tested, standardized product for those who want convenience and quality assurance, and publish the recipe for those who want to do it themselves.
4. Evidence-Informed, Not Evidence-Overstating
Simpson operated without access to peer-reviewed literature. We have that access, and we use it to distinguish between what’s well-supported, what’s emerging, and what’s overstated. Every claim we make is tied to specific research that you can verify yourself.
The Science Behind Every Drop: What Alamosa County Residents Need to Know
Our RSO Sublingual Oil contains 16,590mg total cannabinoids across seven compounds. That’s not a random number—it’s a precision formulation where every milligram serves a purpose.
The Seven-Cannabinoid Formula
| Cannabinoid | Amount | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| CBD | 4,500mg | Strongest human evidence for seizures, anxiety, and pain modulation |
| CBG | 3,000mg | Neuroprotective properties, potential for inflammatory conditions |
| Delta-8 THC | 6,000mg | Antiemetic properties, less potent than delta-9 but therapeutically relevant |
| THCa | 1,500mg | Your legal pathway to potent THC—patient-controlled activation |
| Delta-9 THC | 90mg | Farm Bill compliant baseline, therapeutic threshold maintained |
| CBN | 750mg | Sleep architecture support at research-backed dosage levels |
| CBC | 750mg | Neurogenesis potential, distinct pharmacological profile |
Total: 553mg active cannabinoids per mL
The Seven-Terpene Profile: More Than Just Flavor
Traditional RSO destroyed terpenes through solvent and heat. We’ve restored them at 5% concentration:
- Limonene (citrus-bright): Mood elevation, stress relief—think of it as sunshine in a bottle for those long San Luis Valley winters
- Myrcene: Relaxation and calm, perfect for winding down after a day on the ranch
- Caryophyllene (β-caryophyllene): Direct CB2 receptor activation for anti-inflammatory effects
- Pinene (forest-fresh): Mental clarity, counteracts some THC fog—important for Alamosa residents who need to stay sharp
- Linalool (floral, lavender): Anxiety reduction, sleep support
- Humulene: Anti-inflammatory, appetite suppression—useful for those dealing with chemotherapy side effects
- Terpinolene: Complex piney-fruity notes that make the experience enjoyable
Evidence Quality: What the Science Actually Says
We believe Alamosa County residents deserve honesty, not hype. Here’s the evidence breakdown:
CBD (4,500mg): The most evidence-developed nonintoxicating cannabinoid. Strong human evidence for certain rare epilepsies, modest evidence for chronic pain and anxiety. A 2024 systematic review found anxiolytic effects, but authors stressed limited clinical samples need more trials. Pain literature is promising but heterogeneous. Sleep evidence remains methodologically weak. The 2023 safety review found real signals for liver enzyme elevation—important for Alamosa residents taking multiple medications.
CBG (3,000mg): Mostly preclinical evidence. A 2021 review described pharmacology spanning cannabinoid receptors, alpha-2 adrenoceptors, and 5-HT1A signaling—mechanistically interesting but not clinically established. Human studies remain sparse. It’s a promising minor cannabinoid, but claims shouldn’t outrun the science.
Delta-8 THC (6,000mg): Psychoactive and pharmacologically relevant, but much less clinically characterized than delta-9. A 2022 review found it less potent than delta-9 THC, but a 2023 scoping review noted adverse consequence reports and emphasized regulatory concerns. Treat it as a real THC analogue with incomplete safety characterization.
Delta-9 THC (90mg): Strongest human evidence among psychoactive cannabinoids, but clearest adverse-effect burden. NCCIH identifies relevance for chemo nausea, HIV/AIDS appetite loss, and some MS/pain outcomes. The 2025 systematic review of high-concentration THC found consistent unfavorable associations with psychosis and cannabis use disorder. In Alamosa’s high-altitude environment where mental clarity is already challenged, these risks matter.
THCa (1,500mg): The acidic precursor doesn’t produce psychoactive effects unless heated, but the 2016 review notes it can convert over time or with processing. The in vitro and rodent literature suggests anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective possibilities—not equivalent to established human outcomes.
CBN (750mg): The clearest example where marketing moved ahead of data. The 2021 review on CBN and sleep screened 99 human-study abstracts and found no clinical trials using validated sleep measures. A 2024 sleep review concluded cannabinoid sleep research still doesn’t match real-world use. We include it at 750mg (25-50mg per dose) because that’s the range some literature explores, but we won’t claim it’s a proven sleep aid.
CBC (750mg): The 2024 focused review calls it “clinically immature”—interesting pharmacology, but products are being sold with little evidence establishing efficacy or safety. Antinociceptive, antibacterial, and anti-seizure areas show promise, but human trials are lacking.
Bottom line for Alamosa County: The most evidence-developed actives are CBD and delta-9 THC. Delta-8 is pharmacologically real but less characterized. THCa is your legal pathway to potency. CBG, CBN, and CBC are promising but clinically immature. Our formula reflects this hierarchy—we don’t hide behind minor cannabinoids as if they’re magic bullets.
Why Our Formula Beats What’s Available in Alamosa County Dispensaries
You might be thinking: “Cannabis is legal in Colorado. I can buy RSO at a dispensary in Alamosa or drive to Salida. Why order from Texas?” Here’s the factual comparison:
| Feature | Alamosa County Dispensary RSO | OilWell RSO |
|---|---|---|
| Cannabinoid Count | Typically 1-3 cannabinoids (THC-dominant) | 7 cannabinoids with specific ratios |
| Total Cannabinoids | Usually 500-1,000mg per syringe | 16,590mg per 30mL bottle |
| THCa Preservation | Fully decarboxylated (always psychoactive) | 1,500mg THCa (you control activation) |
| Terpene Content | Minimal (lost in extraction) | 5% live terpenes, 7 specific compounds |
| Lab Testing | Varies by producer | Full panel: potency, terpenes, pesticides, heavy metals, residual solvents, microbial |
| Access | Must visit dispensary in person | Ships directly to your Alamosa County address |
| Medical Card Required | No (recreational state) but limited options | No (21+ only) with nationwide shipping |
| Price Transparency | Often $40-60 per gram | $129.99 for 16,590mg (better value per mg) |
Alamosa County’s cannabis market is limited. The few dispensaries in the area typically carry products from Denver or Pueblo producers focused on recreational users, not therapeutic formulations. They rarely publish detailed cannabinoid profiles or Certificates of Analysis. You’re getting mystery oil in a syringe.
With OilWell, you get the exact formula, third-party verified, delivered to your door in Antonito or Manassa just as easily as if you lived in Montrose, Houston.
How to Use OilWell RSO in Alamosa County: Condition-Specific Guidance
Important disclaimer: This guidance is informed by cannabinoid research, not FDA-approved treatment protocols. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Always consult your healthcare provider, especially given Alamosa County’s limited medical specialist access. Do not operate vehicles or machinery while under the influence.
Chemotherapy-Related Nausea and Appetite Support
For residents traveling to San Luis Valley Regional Medical Center or making the long drive to Colorado Springs for cancer treatment:
- Pre-chemo: 0.5-1.0mL sublingual approximately 1 hour before treatment (delivers 276-553mg total cannabinoids, including delta-8 THC’s antiemetic properties)
- Acute breakthrough nausea: 2-3 vape puffs for immediate relief (1-2 minute onset) before that long drive home over La Veta Pass
- Post-chemo: 0.5mL sublingual every 6 hours as needed
- Sleep support: 1.0-2.0mL before bed delivers 25-50mg CBN to help with the insomnia that often accompanies treatment
The evidence: Delta-8 THC shows antiemetic properties [9]. Delta-9 THC is established for chemo nausea [1][13]. CBD provides anxiolytic buffering [3].
Chronic Pain (Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Neuropathy)
Many Alamosa County residents live with chronic pain from agricultural labor, high-altitude joint stress, or old injuries that never healed right:
- Daytime functional relief: 0.3-0.5mL raw sublingual (no heat) provides anti-inflammatory cannabinoid exposure without psychoactive impairment—critical for operating tractors, working the counter at your business, or driving to appointments
- Nighttime: 0.5-1.0mL decarboxylated sublingual combines pain relief with CBN for sleep architecture
- Breakthrough pain: Vape as needed for rapid onset during acute flare-ups
The evidence: CBD modulates pain [4]. Delta-9 THC addresses pain [13]. Beta-caryophyllene activates CB2 anti-inflammatory pathways [24]. THCa inhibits COX-2 enzymes [12].
Sleep Architecture for High-Altitude Living
Alamosa County’s 7,500-foot elevation disrupts sleep for many residents, especially those who’ve lived at sea level:
- Before bed: 1.0-2.0mL sublingual delivers 25-50mg CBN—the dosage range investigated in 2024 sleep literature [16][17]
- For those sensitive to THC: Use the raw form to avoid psychoactive effects that could worsen sleep anxiety
The reality: CBN’s reputation as a sleep aid is stronger than its clinical evidence [16][17]. We include it at research-level doses but won’t overpromise.
Anxiety and Stress
The isolation of rural living, economic pressures on agricultural communities, and the unique stressors of mountain life:
- Daytime functional relief: 0.3mL raw sublingual delivers CBD and CBG for anxiety pathways without impairment
- Nighttime: 1.0mL sublingual full profile including CBN
- Acute panic: Vape provides 1-2 minute onset for immediate relief
The evidence: CBD shows anxiolytic effects [3]. CBG pharmacology is promising [7][8]. Limonene may provide entourage benefits [20].
General Titation Principle for Alamosa Residents
Start low, go slow. Begin with 0.25-0.5mL sublingual and assess effects over 2-3 hours before increasing. Individual responses vary based on body weight, metabolism, altitude adaptation, concurrent medications (especially important given potential drug interactions with common prescriptions), and other factors.
Remember: Alamosa’s high altitude can affect metabolism and response to cannabinoids. The thin air means your body processes substances differently. Be extra conservative with dosing until you understand your personal response.

- You have the option to decarboxylate THCa at home without legal concern
- We ship with full documentation, Certificates of Analysis, and receipts
Important: While cannabis is legal in Colorado, employers can still drug test. Our raw THCa formulation won’t cause a positive test. However, once decarboxylated or vaped, it will. Be honest with yourself about your workplace requirements.
Safety Information for Alamosa County’s Unique Environment
High altitude and rural living create specific safety considerations:
Altitude-Related Cautions
- Hypoxia sensitivity: THC can exacerbate altitude-related lightheadedness. Start with lower doses until acclimated
- Dehydration: Cannabis can cause dry mouth. At Alamosa’s elevation, dehydration happens faster. Increase water intake
- Cardiovascular: THC can increase heart rate. If you have altitude-related cardiovascular concerns, consult your provider before use
Rural Living Considerations
- Storage: Keep products in airtight containers. Alamosa’s low humidity can degrade cannabinoids over time
- Child safety: In close-knit rural communities where children visit neighbors, secure storage is critical
- Emergency access: If adverse effects occur, Alamosa County’s limited emergency services mean you should be extra conservative with initial dosing
Drug Interactions
Given Alamosa County’s aging population and limited specialist access, many residents take multiple medications. CBD can interact with:
- Blood thinners (like warfarin)
- Anti-seizure medications
- Immunosuppressants
- Many common prescriptions processed by the liver
Always consult your primary care provider at San Luis Valley Health or your specialist in Pueblo before starting. Bring our product specifications to show them exactly what you’d be taking.
Why ABC13 Houston’s Recognition Matters to Alamosa County
You might wonder why media coverage from Houston matters to someone living in the San Luis Valley. Here’s why: ABC13 KTRK is the ABC affiliate in America’s fourth-largest city. When they need to explain cannabis products, legal changes, or industry developments to millions of viewers, they call Colin Valencia and OilWell Cannabis. Not once, but seven times over four years, with five different reporters.
This isn’t paid advertising—it’s editorial judgment that we consistently demonstrate expertise, honesty, and community values. For Alamosa County residents evaluating whether to trust a company hundreds of miles away, this track record matters:

Addressing Alamosa County’s Specific Needs
Agricultural and Ranch Work Injuries
The physical demands of potato farming, cattle ranching, and equipment operation in Alamosa County create unique chronic pain patterns. Our multi-cannabinoid approach addresses multiple pain pathways simultaneously:
- THC (delta-8 and delta-9): Direct analgesic effects via CB1 receptors
- CBD: Modulates pain signaling and reduces inflammation
- CBG: Targets inflammatory pathways distinct from THC and CBD
- Beta-caryophyllene: CB2 activation for peripheral inflammation without psychoactivity
- THCa: COX-2 inhibition similar to NSAIDs but without the GI risks
Traditional RSO only provided THC. Our formula gives Alamosa County’s agricultural workers a comprehensive toolkit.
High-Altitude Sleep Disruption
Living at 7,500 feet disrupts sleep architecture. The lower oxygen levels, dryness, and temperature swings all affect rest. Our formula addresses this on multiple levels:
- CBN at 750mg: Research-level dosage for sleep investigation
- Myrcene and linalool: Terpenes associated with relaxation
- THCa in raw form: Anti-inflammatory effects without next-day grogginess
- Option for nighttime decarboxylation: If pain is what’s keeping you awake, the psychoactive option can address both
Veteran PTSD and Anxiety
Alamosa County has a significant veteran population, many dealing with PTSD, anxiety, and the aftermath of prescription dependencies like Colin experienced. Our formula was literally born from PTSD recovery:
- Colin’s personal experience: Used Peace Gummies (based on this formula) to quit Xanax cold turkey
- Delta-8 THC: Anxiolytic properties without the intensity of delta-9
- CBD and CBG: Address anxiety pathways without impairment
- Vape option: 1-2 minute onset for acute panic episodes
- Daytime raw use: Stay functional while managing symptoms
The Rio Grande County Veterans Service Office can provide additional resources, and our products can complement those services—not replace professional mental health care.
Cancer Supportive Care
For residents traveling to San Luis Valley Health’s cancer center or making the long trip to Colorado Springs:
- Chemo nausea: Delta-8’s antiemetic properties [9] plus delta-9’s established role [1][13]
- Appetite stimulation: THC’s well-documented effects
- Sleep during treatment: CBN for rest when anxiety and steroids disrupt sleep
- Pain management: Multi-pathway approach reduces need for opioids
- Mood support: CBD’s anxiolytic effects [3] help with the emotional toll
Critical reminder: RSO is supportive care, not cancer treatment. Do not delay or forego proven oncologic therapies. Our products complement medical care—they don’t replace it.
Alamosa County Cultural Integration
We understand that Alamosa County’s identity is shaped by its unique blend of Hispanic/Latino heritage, agricultural tradition, outdoor recreation, and resilient mountain culture. We’re not here to impose Houston values on the San Luis Valley—we’re here to offer tools that fit your lifestyle.

Final Thoughts for Alamosa County
Living in the San Luis Valley teaches resilience. It teaches you to look for solutions that work, not just what’s convenient. It teaches you to value honesty over hype, community over corporations, and results over promises.
OilWell Cannabis was built on those same values—from Colin’s childhood in the dangerous Borderplex, to Bentley’s impossible recovery, to seven years of media scrutiny where we’ve never wavered from telling the truth about what cannabis can and cannot do.
We can’t be there in person to shake your hand at the Saturday market or share a coffee at Milagros. But we can offer you something rare in the cannabis industry: complete transparency, honest science, and products that reflect a decade of real-world testing on the person we loved most.
If you’re a cancer patient at San Luis Valley Health wondering if RSO can help with chemo side effects—we’ll tell you what the evidence says and what it doesn’t.
If you’re a rancher in Conejos County dealing with chronic pain from decades of physical work—we’ll explain exactly how our multi-cannabinoid approach addresses inflammation through multiple pathways.
If you’re a veteran in Monte Vista struggling with PTSD and pill dependency—we’ll share how Colin personally used these formulations to quit benzodiazepines.
If you’re a caregiver in Blanca looking for options for your loved one—we’ll give you the full formula so you can make it yourself if cost is a barrier.
We’re not here to sell you snake oil. We’re here to give you the best possible version of the information so you can decide what’s right or wrong for you, right here in Alamosa County.
