Understanding Rick Simpson Oil: What Bourbon County Needs to Know

Who Was Rick Simpson, and Why Does His Story Matter Here in Kentucky?

Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor. He wasn’t a scientist. He was a power engineer from Nova Scotia — a blue-collar tradesman whose life changed when a workplace injury and a cancer diagnosis led him down a path that would eventually create the most famous cannabis extract in the world. Born in 1949, Simpson’s story begins in a way that will feel familiar to many in Bourbon County: he got hurt on the job, the medical system failed him, and he found himself desperate for relief that prescriptions couldn’t provide.

In 1997, while working at a hospital in Moncton, Simpson fell from scaffolding. The head injury left him with persistent tinnitus, dizziness, and post-concussion symptoms that conventional medicine couldn’t resolve. The medications he was prescribed either didn’t help or made things worse. When he discovered cannabis provided more relief than anything his doctors offered, he asked his physician to support or prescribe it. The request was refused — a moment of institutional rejection that echoes through countless Bourbon County doctor’s offices when patients bring up cannabis.

Simpson’s story took a pivotal turn in 2003 when he was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma. Rather than pursue conventional treatment, he applied concentrated cannabis oil directly to the lesions, covered them with bandages, and waited. According to his account, the bumps disappeared within four days. No biopsy confirmation was ever published. No independent medical verification exists. Yet this personal experience became the origin story of Rick Simpson Oil and launched a global movement that eventually reached every corner of America — including the rolling hills of Bourbon County.

Important context: Simpson’s account is personal testimony, not medical evidence. The absence of clinical documentation means these events cannot be evaluated as scientific proof. But they are historically significant as the catalyst for a movement that has helped countless people worldwide explore cannabis as medicine. Here in Kentucky, where traditional medicine often meets skepticism and where the opioid crisis has hit rural communities hard, Simpson’s story resonates because it represents what many see as a grassroots challenge to a broken healthcare system.

The Traditional RSO Protocol: What Bourbon County Residents Should Understand

Simpson developed a specific 90-day treatment protocol that called for consuming 60 grams of concentrated cannabis oil. This wasn’t a casual suggestion — it was a serious commitment that required patients to ingest enormous amounts of THC daily. The titration schedule started with a dose the size of half a grain of rice, three times daily, then doubled every four days until reaching 1 gram per day by week five. At that peak dosing level, patients were consuming roughly 600 to 900 milligrams of delta-9 THC daily — doses far exceeding anything studied in controlled clinical settings.

For perspective, the FDA-approved synthetic THC drug dronabinol is typically prescribed at 2.5 to 20 milligrams per day. Simpson’s protocol delivered 30 to 400 times that amount. While he maintained that patients would develop tolerance within 3-4 weeks, the risks at those doses are substantial: severe intoxication, anxiety, panic, tachycardia, hypotension, and cannabis use disorder.

Why this matters in Bourbon County: Many people searching for RSO online encounter Simpson’s protocol through forums and Facebook groups. They may not understand that this regimen was designed for crude, unstandardized material with no lab verification of potency. Every batch of traditional RSO was different. There were no Certificates of Analysis, no contaminant screening, and no quality control. The starting material varied by strain and growing conditions. The extraction used naphtha or isopropyl alcohol — solvents that can leave toxic residues if not fully purged. And the process destroyed virtually all terpenes, eliminating any potential entourage benefits.

Traditional RSO was also fully decarboxylated, meaning all THCa was converted to psychoactive delta-9 THC through heat. There was no option for non-psychoactive use. For Bourbon County residents who need to work, drive, or simply function during the day, this one-size-fits-all approach created a significant barrier.

What the Science Actually Shows: Separating Hope from Hype

Let’s be direct about what the research says, because Bourbon County deserves honesty, not marketing spin.

Preclinical research (test tubes and animal studies) shows that THC and CBD can induce apoptosis (programmed cell death), inhibit cancer cell proliferation, and reduce angiogenesis (blood vessel formation that feeds tumors) in certain laboratory settings . This research is scientifically interesting and has generated legitimate investigation into cannabinoids as potential anticancer agents.

However, these findings have not translated into proven human cancer cures. The gap between laboratory results and human clinical outcomes is vast — something that applies across all of oncology, not just cannabis research. No human clinical trial has demonstrated that RSO or any cannabis oil preparation cures cancer.

Institutional positions are clear:

  • The National Cancer Institute acknowledges the preclinical research but does not endorse cannabis as a cancer treatment
  • The FDA has not approved any cannabis plant product for cancer
  • Health Canada has never approved RSO for cancer treatment
  • The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health states that the strongest cannabinoid evidence is for certain epilepsies, chemotherapy-related nausea, and HIV/AIDS-related appetite loss — not cancer cure [1]

What Simpson got right: He drew attention to cannabinoids as a serious area of biomedical research when the world was ignoring it. He helped create the conditions for the legal cannabis industry that exists today. The term “RSO” remains the most recognized name for full-spectrum cannabis extract.

What he overstated: The leap from preclinical signals to cancer cure was not supported by evidence then and is not supported now. Encouraging patients to use RSO instead of proven cancer therapies carries genuine harm potential. Delayed or foregone treatment for treatable cancers is a documented risk in alternative medicine.

For Bourbon County residents facing cancer diagnoses at Bourbon Community Hospital or traveling to UK Markey Cancer Center in Lexington, this is critical information. RSO should be understood as a complementary option to discuss with your oncologist, not a replacement for proven treatments like surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy.

About OilWell Cannabis: From Houston to Bourbon County

Our Origin Story: When Love Meets Science

OilWell Cannabis wasn’t born in a boardroom. It was born in a moment of desperation that every pet owner in Bourbon County will understand. Our founder, Colin Valencia, faced a choice no one should have to make: watch his beloved dog Bentley suffer and die, or find another way.

Bentley was paralyzed in his back legs. Veterinarians said euthanasia was the only humane option — the pain medications would destroy his internal organs, causing more suffering. But Colin had already faced too much loss growing up in the dangerous McAllen-Reynosa border region. He wasn’t ready to give up on family.

A rescue worker named Jessica asked a question that changed everything: “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and you’ve never heard of CBD?” Colin’s cannabis experience had been recreational — getting high. He’d never explored therapeutic applications. Jessica’s question exposed a blind spot that became a mission.

Colin created a CBD golden paste formula for pets. It wasn’t a cure, but it was hope. And that hope delivered what veterinary medicine said was impossible: Bentley got up, walked over to Colin, and brought him his ball to play. From paralyzed and facing euthanasia to fetching his ball. This wasn’t placebo — dogs don’t respond to placebo. This was cannabinoid medicine doing what pharmaceuticals could not.

Bentley lived another ten years, passing naturally at age twenty. During those years, Colin developed specialized cannabis formulas for every age-related condition Bentley faced:

  • Neurodegeneration led to understanding CBG’s neuroprotective properties and THCa’s PPARγ agonism for brain cell protection
  • Dementia led to exploring CBC’s role in neurogenesis
  • Glaucoma led to researching THC’s CB1 agonism for intraocular pressure
  • Arthritis led to developing multi-pathway anti-inflammatory approaches using CBD, CBG, THCa, and beta-caryophyllene simultaneously

Single cannabinoids weren’t enough. Bentley’s evolving conditions required multi-cannabinoid synergy. That necessity — not marketing strategy — is why our RSO formula contains seven distinct cannabinoids at precise ratios. Bentley was Colin’s R&D lab for a decade, and every formula we sell carries that legacy of love and precision.

From Personal Struggle to Professional Mission

Colin’s expertise isn’t just academic. He personally used the cannabinoid knowledge he developed for Bentley to quit Xanax cold turkey — a notoriously difficult and dangerous feat. Our Peace Gummies formula was created during midnight experiments while fighting through benzodiazepine withdrawal. Colin still personally uses the vape form to manage his insomnia and severe PTSD.

This is not theoretical knowledge. This is lived experience. When we say we understand what Bourbon County residents are going through — whether it’s chronic pain from farm work, PTSD from military service, cancer treatment side effects, or prescription dependence — we’re speaking from experience, not corporate talking points.

Why Bourbon County Matters to Us

You might wonder why a Houston-based company is reaching out to Bourbon County, Kentucky. The answer is simple: your community represents exactly the people we built this company to serve. In a county where the bourbon industry dominates and tobacco farming shaped generations, you understand agriculture, craftsmanship, and tradition. You also understand when a system isn’t working.

Bourbon County faces real healthcare challenges. Many residents drive 30-45 minutes to Lexington for specialized care at UK Healthcare or Baptist Health. The opioid crisis has hit rural Kentucky hard. Veterans returning from service struggle to find adequate PTSD treatment. Cancer patients at Bourbon Community Hospital often feel they have limited options beyond conventional protocols.

We see a community that values honesty, hard work, and self-reliance. A community that understands quality craftsmanship — whether it’s in a barrel of bourbon or a bottle of medicine. That’s why we’re bringing OilWell’s precision-formulated RSO to Bourbon County.

The OilWell RSO Philosophy: Built Different, Built Better

Our RSO is not traditional Rick Simpson Oil. It is a formulated, multi-cannabinoid product informed by the RSO tradition but deliberately different in ways that solve real problems for Bourbon County residents.

1. Accessibility Over Gatekeeping

No medical card required. In Kentucky, where there is no legal medical marijuana program, this is revolutionary. You don’t need a qualifying condition. You don’t need a doctor’s permission. You just need to be 21 or older. We ship directly to your doorstep in Paris, Millersburg, or anywhere else in Bourbon County.

Traditional RSO exists only in states with medical or recreational cannabis programs. In Kentucky, patients have been shut out entirely. Our Farm Bill-compliant formula changes that paradigm while staying completely legal.

2. Patient-Controlled Potency

This is where modern science meets patient empowerment. Traditional RSO is always psychoactive — it’s fully decarboxylated through heat processing. Our formula contains 1,500mg of THCa, the non-psychoactive precursor to THC.

You decide how to use it:

  • Raw (non-psychoactive): Use it straight from the bottle for anti-inflammatory benefits without impairment. Perfect for Bourbon County residents who need to work, drive, or stay clear-headed during the day. The THCa provides potential COX-2 inhibition and PPARγ agonism — scientifically interesting pathways for inflammation and neuroprotection without the high.

  • Fully activated: Heat the oil at 260°F for 45-60 minutes in an oven-safe container. This converts the THCa to delta-9 THC, delivering approximately 1,315mg of additional THC. Combined with the existing 90mg delta-9 THC and 6,000mg delta-8 THC, the activated product achieves potency comparable to traditional illegal RSO — entirely at your discretion, in the privacy of your home.

  • Fast relief: Use our vape cartridge for immediate effects. Every inhalation automatically decarboxylates THCa at vaping temperature (400-450°F), delivering freshly activated cannabinoids within 1-2 minutes.

This is Rick Simpson’s principle of patient control, implemented through actual chemistry rather than rhetoric. For Bourbon County residents who’ve been told “cannabis is illegal here,” this is your legal pathway to the same therapeutic potential.

3. Open-Source Formulas

We publish our complete formulas publicly. Every milligram amount. Every percentage. If our $129.99 price for the sublingual oil or $49.99 for the vape cartridge doesn’t fit your Bourbon County budget, you can source the individual cannabinoid distillates and make your own version.

This is a direct echo of Rick Simpson’s original ethos. He gave his oil away for free and taught people how to make it. We sell a professionally manufactured, lab-tested, standardized product for those who want it, and we publish the complete recipe for those who need to make it themselves.

The recipe that saved Bentley — our CBD golden paste for pets — is published on our website for free. If your dog or cat in Bourbon County is suffering, you can make it today. That same philosophy extends to our human formulas.

4. Evidence-Informed, Not Evidence-Overstating

Rick Simpson operated without access to peer-reviewed literature. We have that access, and we use it to distinguish between what is well-supported, what is emerging, and what is overstated.

Every cannabinoid in our formula — CBD, CBG, delta-8 THC, THCa, delta-9 THC, CBN, and CBC — has its own evidence profile in the scientific literature. We don’t hide behind vague “full-spectrum” claims. We tell you exactly what’s in the bottle and what the research actually says about each compound.

Condition-Specific Guidance for Bourbon County Residents

Important disclaimer: These usage contexts are informed by cannabinoid research cited in our GENERAL KNOWLEDGE section. They are not medical prescriptions, not FDA-approved treatment protocols, and not a substitute for professional medical care. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before using cannabinoid products, especially if receiving treatment at Bourbon Community Hospital or UK Healthcare. Do not operate vehicles or machinery while under the influence of psychoactive cannabinoids.

Cancer Treatment Support

If you’re undergoing treatment at UK Markey Cancer Center or Baptist Health Lexington, our RSO can help manage side effects:

  • Pre-chemo nausea: 0.5-1.0mL sublingual 1 hour before treatment. Delta-8 THC has documented antiemetic properties [9].
  • Breakthrough nausea: 2-3 vape puffs for immediate relief (1-2 minute onset).
  • Post-chemo appetite: 0.5mL sublingual every 6 hours as needed. Delta-9 THC is FDA-approved for appetite stimulation [1].
  • Sleep during treatment: 1-2mL sublingual before bed delivers 25-50mg CBN to support sleep architecture [16][17].

Chronic Pain (Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Neuropathy)

Bourbon County’s agricultural heritage means many residents live with chronic pain from years of physical labor:

  • Daytime management: 0.3-0.5mL raw sublingual provides anti-inflammatory cannabinoid exposure without impairment.
  • Nighttime relief: 0.5-1.0mL activated sublingual combines pain relief with CBN for sleep support.
  • Breakthrough pain: Vape as needed for rapid onset relief.
  • Joint pain: Apply sublingual oil topically directly to affected joints. Beta-caryophyllene activates CB2 receptors for localized anti-inflammatory effects [24].

PTSD and Anxiety

For veterans and trauma survivors across Bourbon County:

  • Daytime anxiety: 0.3mL raw sublingual — CBD and CBG address anxiety pathways without psychoactive impairment [3][7][8].
  • Acute panic: Vape for immediate anxiety surge management.
  • Nighttime: 1.0mL sublingual — full profile including CBN for sleep architecture support.

Sleep Disorders

If insomnia is stealing your rest in Bourbon County:

  • Before bed: 1-2mL sublingual delivers 25-50mg CBN — the dosage range studied in 2024 sleep research [16][17].
  • Middle-of-night waking: Keep vape pen on nightstand for quick relief without getting out of bed.

How to Start: The “Start Low, Go Slow” Approach

Every body is different. Your metabolism, weight, tolerance, and concurrent medications all affect response. Begin with 0.25-0.5mL sublingual and assess effects over 2-3 hours before increasing. This is especially important for Bourbon County residents who may be new to cannabinoids or taking other medications.

The Science Behind Our Formula: What Each Ingredient Does

Cannabinoid Evidence Profiles

CBD (4,500mg) — Our highest-concentration ingredient because the evidence is strongest.

  • Best supported use: FDA-approved Epidiolex for certain seizure disorders [1][2]
  • Anxiety: 2024 systematic review shows significant anxiolytic signal in clinical trials [3]
  • Pain: Promising but heterogeneous evidence; quality varies across studies [4]
  • Safety: Can elevate liver enzymes; monitor if taking other medications [6]

CBG (3,000mg) — The “mother cannabinoid” with emerging potential.

  • Mechanisms: Interacts with CB1, CB2, alpha-2 adrenoceptors, 5-HT1A [7]
  • Research areas: Neurologic disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, antibacterial activity [7][8]
  • Status: Commercially sold but evidence base remains thin — use with understanding it’s still early-stage research [7]

Delta-8 THC (6,000mg) — Psychoactive but distinct from delta-9.

  • Pharmacology: Partial CB1 agonist, less potent than delta-9 [9]
  • Evidence: Dominated by animal studies and public health concerns [10]
  • Reality check: Not “mild” or “safe by default” — it’s psychoactive with less robust safety data than delta-9 [9]-[11]

THCa (1,500mg) — Your control valve for psychoactivity.

  • Key fact: Non-psychoactive in raw form; converts to THC when heated [12]
  • Potential: Anti-inflammatory via COX-2, neuroprotective via PPARγ [12]
  • Bourbon County advantage: Use raw for daytime function, activate for nighttime therapy — your choice

Delta-9 THC (90mg) — Enough for entourage effect, under legal limit.

  • Total per bottle: 90mg = 3mg/mL = 0.3% concentration (Farm Bill compliant)
  • Evidence: Strongest for chemo nausea, appetite, some pain [1][13]
  • Risks: Impairment, anxiety at high doses, dependency potential [1][15]

CBN (750mg) — The sleep cannabinoid (with caveats).

  • Reality: Market reputation exceeds evidence. No strong clinical trials support sleep claims [16]
  • Dosage note: At 2mL, you get 50mg CBN — the amount studied in recent literature [16][17]
  • Honest take: Interesting but not proven; we include it because customers request it, not because it’s a miracle sleep cure

CBC (750mg) — The most underexplored cannabinoid in our formula.

  • Pharmacology: Distinct receptor behavior from other cannabinoids [18]
  • Research: Antinociceptive, antibacterial, possible neurogenesis [18][19]
  • Status: Clinically immature but scientifically credible [18]

Terpene Profiles: The Aromatic Dimension

Our 5% live terpene blend enhances flavor, aroma, and potentially therapeutic effects through the entourage effect [20][29]:

Limonene — Citrus-bright, mood-lifting. Multifunctional antioxidant and anti-inflammatory [21]. Note: oxidation products can be allergens [22].

Myrcene — Earthy, musky. Often associated with “couch-lock” but human evidence for sedation is limited [23].

Caryophyllene — Peppery, spicy. Most important terpene: Direct CB2 receptor agonist [24]. This is genuine cannabinoid-system interaction, not just aroma.

Pinene — Forest-fresh, piney. Preclinical neuroprotective signals, but human cognition claims remain exploratory [25].

Linalool — Floral, lavender. Stress and mood support potential, but evidence mostly preclinical [26]. Oxidized form can be allergenic [22].

Humulene — Woody, earthy. Anti-inflammatory potential via CB1 and adenosine pathways [27].

Terpinolene — Complex, piney-fruity. Least clinically characterized but biologically interesting [28].

Our Terpene Profile: Why It Matters for Bourbon County

That 5% terpene content might seem like a small detail, but it’s a major upgrade from traditional RSO — which had virtually no terpenes due to heat destruction. For Bourbon County residents familiar with the nuanced flavors of fine bourbon, you’ll appreciate the complexity these terpenes add.

The aroma profile when you open our sublingual oil is layered: bright citrus from limonene, earthy depth from myrcene and humulene, spicy notes from caryophyllene, and that fresh forest scent from pinene. It’s a far cry from the tar-like, solvent-residual odor of traditional RSO.

More importantly, beta-caryophyllene’s direct activation of CB2 receptors provides an additional anti-inflammatory pathway that works alongside your cannabinoids. For arthritis sufferers in Bourbon County, this dual approach — cannabinoids plus terpenes — offers more comprehensive support than THC alone.

Competitive Comparison: Why OilWell Stands Alone

OilWell RSO vs. Kentucky’s Current Options

Right now, Bourbon County residents have limited legal access to cannabis products. You might find hemp-derived CBD oils at local shops in Paris or Georgetown, but they’re typically single-cannabinoid products with 1,000mg total or less. Traditional marijuana RSO is illegal in Kentucky and requires a trip to a medical state like Ohio or Illinois.

Here’s how we compare:

Feature Kentucky Hemp CBD Oil Traditional Illegal RSO OilWell RSO
Total Cannabinoids 1,000mg (CBD only) Unknown/variable 16,590mg (7 cannabinoids)
THC Content <0.3% delta-9 only 60-90% delta-9 90mg delta-9 + 1,500mg THCa (convertible)
Legal in Kentucky Yes No Yes (Farm Bill compliant)
Access Local shops Black market or out-of-state Direct shipping to your door
Lab Testing Sometimes Never Full panel (potency, terpenes, contaminants)
Patient Control No psychoactive option Always psychoactive You choose: raw or activated
Price $40-50 for 1,000mg $200-400 (black market) $129.99 for 16,590mg

For Bourbon County residents, OilWell offers something unprecedented: clinical-strength, multi-cannabinoid RSO that ships legally to your Kentucky address. No medical card needed. No crossing state lines. No legal risk.

Quality Standards: What “Lab-Tested” Actually Means

We test every batch for:

  • Potency: HPLC/UHPLC analysis confirms each cannabinoid within ±2% accuracy
  • Heavy metals: ICP-MS screens for arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury (all below FDA limits)
  • Pesticides: 400+ compound screening via LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS
  • Residual solvents: Headspace GC verifies compliance with FDA Class 3 limits (<5,000 ppm)
  • Microbial contaminants: Comprehensive screening including E. coli, Salmonella, Aspergillus

Certificates of Analysis (COAs) are available on request and accessible through our website. For Bourbon County residents who want to verify what they’re putting in their bodies, we provide complete transparency.

Solvent-Free Production: A Safety Revolution

Traditional RSO uses naphtha or isopropyl alcohol — toxic, non-food-grade solvents that can leave harmful residues. Our process is different. We blend individual cannabinoid distillates and isolates in a controlled environment. No extraction solvents touch your product.

The organic MCT oil base provides clean, efficient absorption through sublingual tissue and eliminates the tar-like consistency and solvent-residual odor of traditional RSO. For health-conscious Bourbon County residents, this is a critical safety upgrade.

Delivery to Bourbon County: How to Get Your OilWell RSO

Nationwide Shipping to Kentucky

We ship to every corner of Kentucky, from Paris to Pikeville. Here’s how it works:

  • Discreet packaging: No cannabis branding visible on exterior
  • Tracking provided: Know exactly when your order arrives
  • Temperature-stable: Special packaging protects oil during summer heat
  • Signature-required option: Available for added security

Shipping times to Bourbon County:

  • USPS Priority Mail: 2-3 business days
  • FedEx/UPS Ground: 3-5 business days

Legal Framework: Why This Ships to Kentucky

The 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight. Our sublingual oil contains only 90mg delta-9 THC in a 30mL bottle — that’s 3mg/mL, well under the legal threshold.

THCa is not delta-9 THC. At the point of sale and during shipping, our product contains 1,500mg of non-psychoactive THCa. This distinction is legally significant: THCa is Farm Bill compliant.

Important legal notice: THCa converts to delta-9 THC when heated. You are responsible for understanding and complying with Kentucky state law. Our product is legal to possess and use in Kentucky in its raw form. If you choose to decarboxylate it, you are creating delta-9 THC for personal use — a decision that remains your responsibility.

We ship with full documentation, COAs, and receipts. International customers (and we do ship internationally) accept all customs and legal risk.

Terpene Profile (Both Products)

Flavor & Aroma Notes:

  • Limonene: Citrus-bright, uplifting
  • Myrcene: Earthy, musky, relaxing
  • Caryophyllene: Peppery, spicy (direct CB2 activation)
  • Pinene: Forest-fresh, piney
  • Linalool: Floral, lavender-like, calming
  • Humulene: Woody, earthy, anti-inflammatory
  • Terpinolene: Complex, piney-fruity, sparkling

This profile creates a sensory experience reminiscent of Kentucky’s natural landscape — pine forests, lavender fields, citrus groves. It’s a far cry from the harsh, solvent-laden taste of traditional RSO.

Common Questions from Bourbon County Residents

“Is this really legal in Kentucky?”
Yes. Our products contain less than 0.3% delta-9 THC and are hemp-derived under the 2018 Farm Bill. Kentucky state law permits hemp-derived cannabinoid products. No medical card needed.

“Will this show up on a drug test?”
If you use the raw form (non-decarboxylated), THCa should not trigger a standard drug test. However, if you activate the THCa into THC through heating, you will likely test positive. Delta-8 THC may also trigger tests. Be honest with your employer if this is a concern.

“How is this different from CBD oil I can buy in Paris?”
Most local CBD oils contain only CBD (1,000-2,000mg total). Our formula has 16,590mg across seven cannabinoids. It’s like comparing a single-note bourbon to a complex, aged small-batch whiskey.

“Can I make my own version?”
Absolutely. That’s the point of publishing our formula. If you have access to cannabinoid distillates and the equipment to blend them safely, you can recreate our formula. We support your right to access medicine affordably.

“What if I’m on other medications?”
CBD can interact with certain medications, particularly those metabolized by the liver. Always consult your doctor at Bourbon Community Hospital or your Lexington specialist before starting. Bring our ingredient list to your appointment.

“How do I know it’s safe?”
Third-party lab testing for potency, pesticides, heavy metals, residual solvents, and microbial contaminants. COAs available on request. We follow the same quality standards demanded by Texas DSHS licensing.
