Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Franklin County, Iowa: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis

For farmers fighting chronic pain, veterans seeking PTSD relief, cancer patients looking for support, and anyone in Franklin County curious about what modern cannabinoid science can actually deliver

Why We’re Reaching Out to Franklin County

We know how things work in Franklin County. You don’t have time for hype. You need straight answers, honest science, and products that actually deliver on their promises. Whether you’re tending corn and soybean fields outside Hampton, working a shift at the plant in Sheffield, or caring for family in Dows, you’ve probably heard about Rick Simpson Oil through word of mouth, Facebook groups, or late-night internet searches when the pain wouldn’t let you sleep.

Maybe you’re skeptical. You should be. The cannabis world is full of people making cure claims that don’t hold up. That’s exactly why we created this guide.

OilWell Cannabis isn’t here to sell Franklin County residents on miracles. We’re here to provide the most thoroughly researched, transparently formulated, and honestly presented RSO available anywhere in Iowa — shipped directly and legally to your door, no medical card required. We publish our complete formulas publicly (yes, including the recipe) because we believe accessibility matters as much as quality. And we believe quality only matters when it’s backed by real science, not salesmanship.

This guide will walk you through everything: what traditional RSO was, why it mattered, where it fell short, and how modern formulations solve those problems for people in places exactly like Franklin County. We’ll explain the legal framework that makes our products possible in Iowa, break down every ingredient with its actual research, and show you how to use these products safely and effectively for your specific situation.

No fluff. No secrets. Just the information Franklin County deserves.

Who Was Rick Simpson? Understanding the Origin Story

Rick Simpson was never a doctor, scientist, or medical researcher. He was a power engineer from Nova Scotia — a blue-collar tradesman who got hurt on the job in 1997, suffered a serious head injury, and found himself let down by the medications doctors prescribed. When he turned to cannabis for relief, his physician refused to discuss it. That dismissal, combined with his discovery of a 1974 NIH-funded study suggesting THC could slow tumors in mice (a study that was never replicated in humans), set him on a path that would change the cannabis world forever.

In 2003, Simpson claimed that concentrated cannabis oil removed three skin lesions his doctor had diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma. No independent medical verification, no biopsy confirmation, no clinical trial — just his personal testimony. But that testimony became the catalyst for a global movement.

For years after that experience, Simpson produced his oil using a crude extraction method: naphtha or isopropyl alcohol washes, rice cooker evaporation, and syringes for storage. He gave it away for free to cancer patients and people suffering from chronic pain, diabetes, infections, glaucoma, arthritis, depression, and insomnia. He claimed it could cure cancer and many other diseases. His 2005 documentary Run From The Cure spread his story worldwide, making “RSO” the most recognized term for full-spectrum cannabis extract.

Important context: Simpson’s account is personal testimony, not medical evidence. The absence of clinical documentation means his claims cannot be evaluated as scientific proof. However, his story is historically significant as the spark that ignited serious public interest in concentrated cannabis oil.

The Traditional RSO Protocol: Simpson’s 60-Gram Regimen

Simpson designed a specific treatment plan: 60 grams of oil over approximately 90 days. Here’s exactly how it worked:

• Week 1: A dose about half the size of a grain of rice, taken three times daily (30-45 mg total per day)
• Weeks 2-5: Double the dose every four days, building tolerance gradually
• Weeks 5-12: Maintain 1 gram per day, divided into three doses
• After protocol: 1-2 grams per month for maintenance

He recommended oral ingestion (sublingual or swallowing) as the primary method, topical application for skin issues, and acknowledged inhalation only for immediate symptom relief. He warned patients about the intense psychoactive effects, advised nighttime dosing initially, and told them not to drive during the titration period.

Critical evaluation of this protocol:

• No controlled trial has ever validated it
• Traditional RSO potency was unknown and variable (estimated 60-90% THC)
• At peak dosing, patients consumed roughly 600-900 mg of delta-9 THC daily — far exceeding any studied clinical dose
• Real risks exist at those levels: severe intoxication, anxiety, panic, tachycardia, hypotension, and cannabis use disorder [1][13][14][15]
• For cancer patients, using unstandardized oil instead of proven therapies carries genuine harm potential

Simpson’s protocol was designed around crude, single-strain extract. Modern formulations require entirely different dosing approaches.

What Traditional RSO Was as a Product

Understanding the original product helps Franklin County residents recognize what they’re actually buying — because much of what’s sold today as “RSO” bears little resemblance to Simpson’s oil.

• Source material: Single high-THC indica strain, no standardization
• Extraction solvent: Naphtha (petroleum-based) or 99% isopropyl alcohol — neither food-grade
• Process: Bucket, solvent wash, filter, rice cooker evaporation, syringe storage
• Appearance: Nearly black, thick, tar-like oil with strong cannabis odor and possible solvent residual smell
• Cannabinoid profile: Fully decarboxylated, THC-dominant (60-90% estimated), minor cannabinoids at natural ratios
• Terpenes: Essentially none — destroyed by solvent and heat
• Standardization: None. Every batch different. No lab testing, no Certificate of Analysis
• Residual solvent risk: Naphtha may contain benzene, toluene, and other carcinogens. Incomplete purging is difficult to verify without lab testing.

The gap between this historical product and what modern science can deliver is enormous. That’s where OilWell’s approach comes in.

The OilWell Story: From a Dying Dog to Franklin County’s Best RSO Option

Our company didn’t start in a boardroom. It started with Bentley.

Bentley was Colin Valencia’s dog — not just a pet, but family. When Bentley became paralyzed in his back legs and veterinarians recommended euthanasia, Colin refused to accept that outcome. The meds would destroy Bentley’s organs, they said. The only humane choice was to put him down.

Colin had grown up in McAllen, Texas — a border region marked by poverty, cartel violence, and limited options. He’d seen friends killed or imprisoned. He’d learned the cannabis plant intimately in the traditional, pre-legalization world. But he’d never explored its medical applications until a rescue worker named Jessica asked him: “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and you’ve never heard of CBD?”

That question changed everything.

Colin created a CBD golden paste for Bentley. The result wasn’t a miracle — it was medicine. Bentley got up. He walked over and brought Colin his ball. From paralyzed and facing euthanasia to playing fetch. Dogs don’t respond to placebo. This was real.

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

• Neurodegeneration → CBG’s neuroprotective properties and THCa’s PPARγ agonism
• Dementia → CBC’s role in neurogenesis
• Glaucoma → THC’s CB1 agonism for intraocular pressure
• Arthritis → Multi-pathway anti-inflammation using CBD, CBG, THCa, and beta-caryophyllene

Single cannabinoids weren’t enough. Bentley’s evolving conditions required multi-cannabinoid synergy. That decade of precision formulation — keeping a beloved companion alive and thriving — became the foundation of OilWell’s RSO formula.

Colin also knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He struggled with PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction, quitting Xanax cold turkey using the same cannabinoid knowledge that saved Bentley. Our Peace Gummies formula was created during midnight experiments while fighting benzo withdrawal. Colin personally uses the vape form for insomnia and severe PTSD.

This isn’t theoretical knowledge from a textbook. It’s lived experience from someone who’s been where many Franklin County residents are right now — desperate for relief, failed by pharmaceuticals, discovering that cannabinoids work when pills don’t.

Why Franklin County Needs Modern, Evidence-Based RSO

Franklin County is a place where people work hard and expect straight talk. The agricultural economy means generations of backbreaking labor, machinery accidents, and chronic pain that gets brushed aside because “there’s work to do.” The nearest major medical centers are in Mason City or Ames — at least 45 minutes away. For specialty pain management or oncology consultations, you’re driving to Des Moines or Iowa City, taking a full day away from the farm or family.

Iowa’s medical cannabis program is one of the most restrictive in the nation. To qualify, you need a medical card, a doctor willing to certify, and a condition on a very short list. Even then, dispensary products are limited and expensive. Many Franklin County residents don’t qualify despite genuine suffering.

The opioid crisis hit rural Iowa hard. Franklin General Hospital in Hampton, like rural hospitals across the state, has seen its share of addiction and overdose. People are searching for alternatives that don’t come with the same risks.

This is why a legal, Farm Bill-compliant, multi-cannabinoid RSO matters for Franklin County. It’s accessible without jumping through medical program hoops. It combines seven cannabinoids and seven terpenes to address multiple pathways simultaneously — because chronic pain, PTSD, cancer support, and sleep disorders aren’t single-cause problems. And it’s backed by actual lab testing, not backyard chemistry.

Iowa Legal Framework: What Franklin County Residents Need to Know

Iowa legalized CBD products with below 0.3% THC under the 2018 Farm Bill. However, Iowa’s state laws are stricter than federal law in some ways. Here’s what matters for Franklin County:

• Hemp-derived products with less than 0.3% delta-9 THC are legal to purchase, possess, and use in Iowa
• You do not need a medical card for Farm Bill-compliant hemp products
• OilWell’s RSO Sublingual Oil contains only 90mg delta-9 THC in the entire 30mL bottle — well under the 0.3% threshold
• THCa is not delta-9 THC at point of sale, making it legal under the same framework
• International shipping is available, but Franklin County customers should verify local ordinances (some towns have additional restrictions)

Important: Iowa law enforcement can and does test products. We provide complete documentation, COAs, and receipts with every order. The product is legal as shipped. What you do with it — including decarboxylation — is your responsibility under Iowa law.

The OilWell RSO Formula: Seven Cannabinoids, Seven Terpenes, Infinite Control

Our formula is not traditional RSO. It’s better. We preserve what worked (full-spectrum synergy) and fix what didn’t (safety, standardization, patient control).

Cannabinoid Profile: The Complete Breakdown

Cannabinoid	Amount	Why It Matters
CBD	4,500mg	Strongest evidence for seizures, anxiety, pain; anxiolytic buffering for other cannabinoids [1][3][4]
CBG	3,000mg	Neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory; biosynthetic precursor with unique pharmacology [7][8]
Delta-8 THC	6,000mg	Antiemetic properties, less psychoactive than delta-9 but still pharmacologically active [9]-[11]
THCa	1,500mg	Acidic precursor; non-psychoactive raw; converts to ~1,315mg delta-9 THC when heated [12]
Delta-9 THC	90mg	Established nausea/appetite support; intentionally low for legal compliance [1][13]
CBN	750mg	Marketed for sleep; 25-50mg per dose aligns with exploratory research [16][17]
CBC	750mg	Neurogenesis potential; distinct receptor profile; emerging research [18][19]

Total: 16,590mg cannabinoids at 553mg per mL

This concentration means approximately 40-60 doses per bottle, depending on individual needs. For context, Simpson’s protocol delivered 600-900mg delta-9 THC per day. Our entire bottle contains 90mg delta-9 THC — legal, measured, and far safer while still delivering therapeutic cannabinoid density through the other six compounds.

Terpene Profile: The Sensory and Therapeutic Layer

Traditional RSO had no terpenes — they were destroyed by heat and solvent. Our formula includes live terpenes at 5%:

• Limonene (citrus-bright): Mood elevation, anxiolytic potential [20]-[22]
• Myrcene: Plausible anti-inflammatory; common cannabis terpene [20][23]
• Caryophyllene (pepper/spice): Direct CB2 agonist — unique terpene-cannabinoid crossover [24]
• Pinene (forest-fresh): Alertness, memory; counteracts some THC fog [20][25]
• Linalool (lavender-floral): Calming, anxiolytic; familiar aromatherapy connection [20][22][25][26]
• Humulene (earthy-woody): Anti-inflammatory; cannabis-mimetic pathways [20][27]
• Terpinolene (piney-fruity): Complex aroma; least clinically characterized but biologically interesting [20][28]

These aren’t just for smell. Caryophyllene directly activates CB2 receptors. Limonene and linalool have documented anxiolytic properties. Pinene may help maintain clarity. The entourage hypothesis — that cannabinoids and terpenes work synergistically — is plausible and supported by preclinical literature, even if robust human proof remains limited [20][29].

Why This Formula Works for Franklin County’s Needs

For the farmer with chronic back pain: CBD, CBG, and THCa target inflammation through multiple pathways (COX-2, PPARγ). Delta-8 provides pain relief without the intensity of high-dose delta-9. Raw THCa option means daytime use without impairment.

For the veteran with PTSD: Colin’s personal experience with benzo withdrawal and PTSD informs every milligram. The vape format delivers fast relief during acute episodes. The sublingual oil maintains baseline support. CBN helps with insomnia that often accompanies trauma.

For the cancer patient in Hampton: This formula is designed as supportive care, not a replacement for oncologist-recommended treatment. Delta-8 and delta-9 address chemo nausea [9][13]. CBD buffers anxiety [3]. CBN supports sleep during difficult nights [16][17]. We explicitly state: consult your oncologist, use this as an adjunct, not a substitute.

For the retiree with arthritis: Multi-cannabinoid anti-inflammatory approach addresses the complexity of joint pain. Beta-caryophyllene’s CB2 activation provides a separate pathway from NSAIDs, which many seniors can’t tolerate. Raw THCa option means no cognitive impairment.

For the curious but cautious: The legal framework is clear. The formula is published. The testing is transparent. You can start with 0.25mL and see how you respond. You control the decarboxylation decision. This is education-first cannabinoid access.

Patient-Controlled Potency: The THCa Revolution

This is the feature that changes everything for Franklin County.

Traditional RSO was always psychoactive — fully decarboxylated, no choice. Our formula includes 1,500mg THCa that you control:

Option 1: Raw (No Heat)

• All 1,500mg stays as THCa
• Non-psychoactive, zero impairment
• Anti-inflammatory via COX-2 inhibition [12]
• Perfect for daytime use while operating equipment, driving to town, or working the farm

Option 2: Fully Activated (Home Decarb)

• Heat oil at 260°F for 45-60 minutes
• Converts 1,500mg THCa → ~1,315mg delta-9 THC
• Combined with existing 90mg delta-9 = ~1,405mg total psychoactive THC
• Plus 6,000mg delta-8 THC = high-potency therapeutic oil comparable to traditional RSO
• Legal because you perform the conversion after legal purchase

Option 3: Partial Decarb

• Heat only what you need
• Preserve remainder in raw form
• Mix ratios to customize psychoactivity level

Conversion math: 1mg THCa = 0.877mg delta-9 THC after decarboxylation (loses CO₂ molecule)

This means the same legal product serves both the farmer who needs daytime anti-inflammatory relief without impairment and the cancer patient who wants full psychoactive support at night. You decide. We just provide the tools and the transparent education to use them safely.

Condition-Specific Guidance for Franklin County Residents

Critical Disclaimer: These products have not been evaluated by the FDA. Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Individual results vary. Consult a healthcare provider before use, especially if pregnant, nursing, have medical conditions, or take medications. Do not operate vehicles or machinery while impaired. Keep out of reach of children.

Chronic Pain (Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Neuropathy, Agricultural Injuries)

Daytime protocol: 0.3-0.5mL raw sublingual oil

• Addresses inflammation without impairment
• CBD [4] + THCa [12] + caryophyllene [24] target multiple inflammatory pathways
• Alternative to NSAIDs for those with GI concerns

Nighttime protocol: 0.5-1.0mL decarboxylated sublingual oil or vape before bed

• Combined pain relief + CBN sleep support [16][17]
• Helps break the pain-insomnia cycle common in chronic conditions

Breakthrough pain: 2-3 vape puffs as needed

• 1-2 minute onset for acute flare-ups

Franklin County context: Years of physical labor on farms and in manufacturing take a toll. Many residents have been through the prescription cycle with limited success. This multi-pathway approach addresses pain complexity that single medications often miss.

Sleep Disorders (Insomnia, Disrupted Sleep from Pain or PTSD)

Before bed: 1.0-2.0mL sublingual oil

• At 2.0mL: delivers 50mg CBN (matches 2024 sleep research dosage)
• At 1.0mL: delivers 25mg CBN (above 20mg threshold associated with reduced sleep disturbance)

Why it works: CBN [16][17] + THC sedation + linalool/myrcene relaxation [20][23][25][26]

Franklin County context: Rural sleep is often disrupted by pain, worry about crops/markets, or PTSD among veterans. This protocol supports sleep architecture without the hangover of prescription sleep meds.

Anxiety, Stress, PTSD

Daytime functional relief: 0.3mL raw sublingual oil

• CBD anxiolytic evidence [3]
• CBG pharmacology [7][8]
• Limonene anxiolytic potential [20]-[22]
• Zero impairment for work, driving, family responsibilities

Nighttime: 1.0mL sublingual oil (raw or decarbed based on preference)

• Full cannabinoid profile including CBN for sleep

Acute episodes: Vape as needed for rapid calming

Franklin County context: PTSD affects many veterans in Iowa. Anxiety runs high in agricultural communities facing economic uncertainty. Colin’s personal benzo withdrawal story resonates because many have seen prescription dependency destroy lives.

Chemotherapy Support (Nausea, Appetite, Sleep)

Pre-chemo: 0.5-1.0mL sublingual 1 hour before treatment

• Delta-8 antiemetic [9] + delta-9 nausea evidence [1][13]

Acute breakthrough nausea: 2-3 vape puffs

• 1-2 minute onset for immediate relief

Post-chemo: 0.5mL every 6 hours as needed

• CBD buffers anxiety [3]

Sleep during treatment: 1.0-2.0mL before bed

• CBN supports sleep architecture [16][17]

Franklin County context: Many cancer patients from Franklin County travel to Mason City or Des Moines for treatment. This supportive care protocol can be used alongside oncologist-recommended therapies. Always inform your oncology team.

General Titration Principle for Franklin County Newcomers

Start low, go slow. Everyone’s endocannabinoid system is different.

1. Day 1-3: 0.25mL sublingual oil (raw)

   • Assess effects over 2-3 hours
   • Note any changes in pain, anxiety, sleep

2. Day 4-7: Increase by 0.25mL increments every 3 days if needed

   • Find your minimum effective dose
   • More is not always better

3. Week 2+: Once you understand raw effects, decide on decarboxylation

   • Start with small heated amount (0.25mL decarbed)
   • Assess psychoactivity tolerance

4. Maintenance: Use lowest effective dose consistently

   • Tolerance develops slowly with multi-cannabinoid formulas
   • No need for Simpson’s extreme escalation

Franklin County pragmatism: This approach respects your time, your money, and your body. No guessing. No waste. Just systematic, patient-centered dosing.

Safety, Quality, and Transparency: What Franklin County Should Demand

Solvent-Free Production

Traditional RSO used naphtha — a petroleum product containing benzene and toluene. That’s unacceptable for any product you’re putting in your body.

OilWell’s RSO is not an extraction product. It’s a formulated blend of individual cannabinoid distillates and isolates combined in a controlled environment. No solvents. No naphtha. No butane. No isopropyl alcohol.

Carrier: Organic MCT oil — food-grade, neutral taste, facilitates absorption.

Third-Party Lab Testing: What We Test For

Every batch tested for:

• Potency: HPLC/UHPLC analysis confirms every cannabinoid to ±2% accuracy
• Terpenes: Verified presence of all seven terpenes
• Pesticides: 400+ compound screening via LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS
• Heavy metals: ICP-MS for arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury (below FDA limits)
• Residual solvents: Headspace GC confirms FDA Class 3 limits (<5,000 ppm)
• Microbial: E. coli, Salmonella, Aspergillus comprehensive screening

Certificates of Analysis (COAs) available on request and via our website. Transparency isn’t optional — it’s the standard.

Open-Source Formulas: The Ultimate Transparency

We publish our complete formulas publicly. Why? Because accessibility matters.

If you can’t afford $129.99 for the sublingual oil, you can see exactly what’s in it, source the individual distillates, and make your own. We’ll even help you find suppliers.

This isn’t a marketing gimmick. It’s the continuation of Rick Simpson’s original ethos — he gave his oil away for free. We can’t do that at scale, but we can give you the recipe.

The Bentley Recipe: Our Foundational Open-Source Formula

Before we published the RSO formula, we published the CBD golden paste that saved Bentley’s life. Here’s the exact recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup organic turmeric powder
• 1 cup water
• 1/3 cup unrefined organic coconut oil
• 1-2 tsp freshly ground black pepper (for absorption)
• CBD oil (pet-specific dosage; consult vet)

Instructions:

1. Mix turmeric and water in saucepan over low heat, stirring continuously until thick paste forms (7-10 minutes)
2. Add coconut oil and black pepper, mix thoroughly
3. Cool, transfer to jar, refrigerate up to 2 weeks
4. Mix CBD oil into paste before serving

Serving: Small amount mixed with pet food 1-2x daily. Start low, monitor response.

This recipe has helped Franklin County pet owners facing similar crises. It’s free. It’s proven. It’s what we stand for.

Media Credibility: Houston’s ABC13 Chose OilWell as the Expert

Between 2019 and 2023, ABC13 Houston — the ABC affiliate in America’s fourth-largest city — featured Colin Valencia and OilWell Cannabis in seven comprehensive news segments. Five different reporters sought us out. No other Houston cannabis company matches that frequency or breadth of coverage.

What this means for Franklin County: This isn’t us talking about ourselves. It’s a major-market news organization independently verifying our expertise, our community commitment, and our transparency.

The Seven ABC13 Features:

1. September 2019 – CBD Business Boom: Colin’s foundational quote about not selling snake oil
2. March 2021 – Decriminalization: Colin’s “pain comes in many forms” interview
3. May 2021 – Delta-8 Investigation: Steve Campion’s iconic “Maybe you want to get high” exchange
4. August 2021 – COVID Vaccine Giveaway: OilWell donated $35,000 in product to encourage vaccination, coordinated with Houston city government
5. October 2021 – Delta-8 Ban: Colin proactively removed products and warned competitors before enforcement
6. October 2022 – Biden Pardon: Revealed Colin’s personal cannabis conviction history, showing he lived the consequences
7. April 2023 – 4/20 Renaissance: Colin positioned as industry leader, discussing Texas expansion

The through-line: Consistency across years, breadth of expertise, community action, personal stakes, and earned credibility. ABC13 didn’t choose us because we paid for PR. They chose us because we knew the science, told the truth, and acted with integrity when the industry was in crisis.

Competitive Comparison: OilWell vs. Alternatives (Without Naming Names)

Franklin County residents deserve to know how options stack up. Here’s factual comparison based on publicly available specifications.

vs. Iowa Medical Dispensary RSO

• Dispensary: THC-only, requires medical card, limited access
• OilWell: 7 cannabinoids, no card needed, ships to your door
• Dispensary: $60-80 for 0.5g (400-500mg THC)
• OilWell: $129.99 for 30mL (16,590mg total cannabinoids)

The math is simple: more cannabinoids, more transparency, more control, legal shipping to Iowa.

Frequently Asked Questions: Franklin County Specific

Q: Is this legal in Franklin County, Iowa?
A: Yes. Our products contain less than 0.3% delta-9 THC, derived from hemp, legal under the 2018 Farm Bill and Iowa law. We ship discreetly with full documentation.

Q: Will this make me fail a drug test?
A: The raw THCa form will not cause a positive THC test. Once decarboxylated (heated), it becomes delta-9 THC and will cause a positive result. Delta-8 THC may also trigger tests. If you’re subject to workplace testing, use the raw form only, or discuss with your employer.

Q: I’m a farmer who needs to operate machinery. Can I use this during the day?
A: Absolutely. Use the raw THCa form (don’t heat it). It’s completely non-psychoactive. Take your daytime dose sublingually, then if you want evening relaxation, heat a separate portion for decarboxylation.

Q: How does this compare to what I’d get at a dispensary in Des Moines?
A: Iowa dispensaries sell THC-only products requiring a medical card. Our formula contains 7 cannabinoids, doesn’t require a card, and ships directly to you. The total cannabinoid content is significantly higher, and you control the psychoactivity.

Q: I’m on prescription medications. Is this safe?
A: CBD can interact with certain medications, particularly those metabolized by the liver [1][6]. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist. Provide them with our COA showing exact cannabinoid content. Start with very low doses to assess interactions.

Q: I’m a veteran with PTSD. Will this help?
A: Many veterans use our products, particularly the vape format for acute episodes and the sublingual oil for daily support. Colin, our founder, is a PTSD survivor who used these exact formulas to quit benzodiazepines. The CBN helps with insomnia, CBD and CBG address anxiety, and the multi-cannabinoid approach mirrors what worked for him. It’s not a cure, but it’s powerful support.

Q: Can I make this myself?
A: Yes. We publish the complete formula. If you have access to cannabinoid distillates and the equipment to measure precisely, you can replicate it. We sell the product for those who want convenience, lab verification, and quality assurance.

Q: How do I know the dose is accurate?
A: Every batch is third-party tested. The graduated dropper measures to 0.1mL. 553mg/mL is the confirmed concentration. We don’t guess — we measure.

Q: What if it doesn’t work for me?
A: Cannabinoids affect everyone differently due to genetics, metabolism, and individual endocannabinoid system variation. Start with a small order. Try both raw and decarbed forms. If it’s not right for you, we’ll work with you on other options or formulations. Honesty matters more than a sale.
