Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Montserrat: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis
Understanding RSO and What It Means for Our Montserrat Community
If you’re reading this from Montserrat—whether you’re in Little Bay, Salem, St. Peter’s, or looking out at the Soufrière Hills from St. George’s Hill—you’ve likely heard whispers about Rick Simpson Oil. Maybe a family member mentioned it during chemo treatments overseas. Perhaps a friend in the UK shared a video about cannabis oil for chronic pain. Or maybe you’re one of the many Montserratians who’ve quietly searched online for alternatives after local healthcare options felt limited.
We get it. Living on a beautiful island of just five thousand souls means we face unique challenges. Our Glendon Hospital provides essential care, but specialized oncology, chronic pain management, and PTSD support often require expensive travel to Antigua, Barbados, or the UK. When you’re dealing with cancer, watching a loved one suffer from volcanic eruption trauma that still echoes decades later, or managing pain that keeps you from enjoying our pristine beaches and hiking trails, you deserve honest answers—not hype.
That’s why we at OilWell Cannabis, based in Houston, Texas, created this comprehensive resource specifically for Montserrat. We’re not here to sell you hope. We’re here to give you the complete, evidence-based truth about RSO—what Rick Simpson actually made, how modern science has evolved far beyond his original method, and how our multi-cannabinoid formula might fit into your health journey here in Montserrat.
Who Was Rick Simpson? The Man Behind the Oil
Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor. He wasn’t a scientist. He was a power engineer from Nova Scotia—a regular working-class guy, not so different from the fishermen, construction workers, and civil servants who built our resilient Montserrat community. In 1997, Simpson suffered a severe head injury from a scaffolding fall. Like many of us who’ve seen the healthcare system struggle to address complex conditions, he found that conventional medications made his symptoms worse. Cannabis gave him relief, but his doctor refused to support it.
Sound familiar? Many Montserratians have experienced this same dismissal—especially those managing chronic pain from old injuries or seeking alternatives to medications that cause more harm than good.
Simpson’s pivotal moment came in 2003 when he claimed that cannabis oil removed his skin cancer lesions in four days. Important context: This was his personal testimony, never verified by biopsy or clinical documentation. Yet this experience sparked a global movement.
For years, Simpson gave his oil away for free to cancer patients and others suffering from chronic pain, diabetes, infections, glaucoma, arthritis, depression, and insomnia—conditions that affect our Montserrat neighbors every single day. He shared his method through the 2005 documentary Run From The Cure and later published Phoenix Tears. His advocacy landed him in legal trouble with Canadian authorities, eventually forcing him to leave the country.
We share Simpson’s story honestly—not as medical proof, but as the historical foundation of why millions worldwide search for RSO today. In Montserrat, where word-of-mouth travels fast through our tight-knit communities, understanding this origin helps separate genuine education from dangerous hype.
What Traditional RSO Actually Was (And Why It Matters for Montserrat)
Traditional RSO wasn’t the standardized product many imagine. Here’s what Simpson actually produced:
The Problems with Traditional RSO That Matter for Montserrat:
-
Toxic solvents: Simpson used naphtha (lighter fluid) or 99% isopropyl alcohol. These are not food-grade and may leave carcinogenic residues. For Montserrat residents who might consider DIY extraction, this is a serious health risk—especially given our limited access to toxicology testing.
-
No standardization: Every batch differed based on the cannabis strain, growing conditions, and extraction technique. You never knew exactly what you were getting—critical for a small community where consistent dosing matters.
-
THC-dominant: Traditional RSO was 60-90% delta-9 THC with unknown amounts of other compounds. For Montserratians who work in tourism, government, or need to drive our winding roads, the intense psychoactivity was a major barrier.
-
No lab testing: No Certificates of Analysis, no contamination screening. Considering Montserrat’s isolated location and limited healthcare resources, product safety isn’t negotiable.
-
Destroyed terpenes: The high-heat process eliminated terpenes—the aromatic compounds that may contribute to therapeutic effects and make the experience more pleasant.
Traditional RSO vs. Our Modern Formulated RSO
| Dimension | Traditional RSO | OilWell Formulated RSO for Montserrat |
|---|---|---|
| Source material | Single high-THC indica strain | Multi-cannabinoid blend from multiple hemp sources |
| Extraction solvent | Naphtha or isopropyl alcohol | Food-grade ethanol (no residual solvents) |
| Cannabinoid profile | THC-dominant, uncontrolled | 7 defined cannabinoids at specific ratios |
| Terpene content | Destroyed by heat | Live terpenes at 5% with defined 7-terpene profile |
| Standardization | None—every batch different | Lab-tested with 553mg/mL active cannabinoids |
| Lab testing | Never performed | Full panel: potency, pesticides, heavy metals, microbes |
| Residual solvent risk | Significant (naphtha carcinogens) | Zero—solvent-free production |
| Dosing precision | Approximate (syringe-based) | Measured per 0.1mL with graduated dropper |
| Product formats | Single thick oil only | Sublingual oil + vape cartridge |
| THCa preservation | No—fully decarboxylated | Yes—1,500mg THCa as separate ingredient |
| Delta-9 THC dominance | 60-90% THC | Only 90mg total delta-9 THC (well below 0.3%) |
| Evidence approach | Anecdotal testimonies | Research-backed with 29 peer-reviewed citations |
The OilWell Story: From a Dying Dog to Serving Montserrat
Our company’s origin isn’t a boardroom pitch—it’s a rescue story that every Montserrat pet owner will understand.
Bentley: The Dog Who Started Everything
Bentley was more than a dog—he was family. When veterinarians told us euthanasia was the only humane option for his paralysis, we refused to accept it. Cannabis had already shown us possibilities beyond conventional medicine, but we knew nothing about CBD. A rescue worker’s question changed everything: “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and you’ve never heard of CBD?”
That question exposed our blind spot and launched a mission. We created CBD golden paste—a simple formula of turmeric, coconut oil, black pepper, and CBD oil. Bentley got up. He walked over and brought us his ball. From paralyzed and facing death 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, we developed specialized formulas for every condition he faced:
- Neurodegeneration → led us to CBG’s neuroprotective properties and THCa’s brain-cell protection
- Dementia → led us to CBC’s role in neurogenesis
- Glaucoma → led us to THC’s pressure-reduction mechanisms
- Arthritis → led us to multi-pathway anti-inflammatory approaches using CBD, CBG, THCa, and beta-caryophyllene
Single cannabinoids weren’t enough. Bentley’s evolving conditions required multi-cannabinoid precision. That’s why our RSO contains seven cannabinoids—not as a marketing gimmick, but because a life we loved depended on it.
Colin’s Personal Battle: PTSD and Benzo Addiction
Bentley’s journey wasn’t our only crucible. Our founder Colin Valencia personally struggled with PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction. When he decided to quit Xanax cold turkey—a notoriously dangerous feat—he used the same cannabinoid knowledge that saved Bentley. The Peace Gummies formula was born during midnight experiments while fighting through benzo withdrawal.
Colin personally uses the vape form for insomnia and severe PTSD to this day. This isn’t theoretical knowledge from a corporate lab. It’s lived experience from someone who understands what Montserratians with trauma, anxiety, or addiction face.
From McAllen to Montserrat: Roots That Matter
Colin grew up in McAllen, Texas—one of the most economically challenged and dangerous border regions. Violence, friends killed or imprisoned, leaving home at sixteen. He chose cannabis over darker paths. He became a software engineer and worked for Baylor College of Medicine—combining plant knowledge with medical-grade precision.
This background matters for Montserrat because it mirrors our own resilience. We know what it means to rebuild after devastation (our volcanic eruptions), to choose community over chaos, and to find innovation in hardship. OilWell isn’t a corporate cannabis brand—it’s a mission born from the margins, now serving islands on the margins of mainstream healthcare access.
Media Credibility: Why ABC13’s Recognition Matters for Montserrat
Between 2019 and 2023, ABC13 Houston featured Colin and OilWell in seven major news segments—more than any other Houston cannabis operator. Five different reporters sought our expertise on business, law, medicine, community health, and politics.
Why this matters for Montserratians:
In a small community like ours, trust is everything. When you can verify through mainstream media archives that we’ve been consistent, honest, and community-focused for years, it means more than any marketing claim. These features are independent, editorially controlled news segments—not paid advertisements.
Key moments that define us:
- September 2019: “I’m not trying to sell people snake oil. I’m not trying to sell people hope. But there’s enough research out there that people just need to know and try and have the best possible version…”
- May 2021: When asked why someone would want to smoke Delta-8, Colin’s honest answer—”Maybe you want to get high”—made national news for its radical transparency
- August 2021: We gave away $35,000 worth of product to encourage COVID vaccination in Houston, coordinating with city officials, no political strings attached
- October 2021: When Texas banned Delta-8 overnight, we proactively removed all products and warned other operators who were unknowingly shipping Schedule I narcotics—absorbing massive revenue loss to act ethically
- October 2022: Colin revealed his personal marijuana conviction history, showing we understand the criminal justice stakes that many Montserratians with Caribbean passports face when traveling
This media record demonstrates a pattern: We tell the truth even when it costs us. In Montserrat’s tight-knit community, that kind of verifiable integrity is the foundation of trust.
Our Farm Bill-Compliant THCa Legal Framework: How Montserratians Can Access RSO Legally
Here’s the breakthrough that makes RSO accessible to Montserrat: Our product is hemp-derived and contains less than 0.3% delta-9 THC at the point of sale, making it federally legal in the United States and shippable internationally.
The THCa Distinction That Changes Everything
Our sublingual oil contains:
- Only 90mg delta-9 THC in the entire 30mL bottle (3mg/mL) — well under the legal limit
- 1,500mg THCa — the non-psychoactive precursor that becomes legal only when YOU choose to activate it
When you heat the oil at 260°F (125°C) for 45-60 minutes, the THCa converts to approximately 1,315mg of delta-9 THC. Combined with the existing 90mg, you get ~1,405mg total delta-9 THC—potency comparable to traditional illegal RSO, created 100% legally because you perform the decarboxylation after purchase.
This means three usage options for Montserratians:
-
Raw (no heat): Completely non-psychoactive. Use during the day while working in tourism, driving, or managing family responsibilities with zero impairment. The THCa provides anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective benefits [12].
-
Fully activated (home decarboxylation): Heat the entire bottle or just a portion you’ve transferred to a separate container. This gives you traditional RSO-level potency for nighttime use or severe symptom management.
-
Vape (instant activation): Our vape cartridge auto-decarboxylates at 400-450°F. Every puff delivers freshly activated cannabinoids with 1-2 minute onset.
Important legal notice for Montserrat customers: As a British Overseas Territory, Montserrat’s cannabis laws may differ from UK law. You are responsible for verifying local regulations regarding hemp-derived products. We provide full documentation, Certificates of Analysis, and receipts. International customers accept all customs and legal responsibility. Our products ship from Houston with complete transparency—what happens upon arrival in Montserrat is between you and local authorities.
The Seven-Cannabinoid Formula: What Montserratians Are Getting
RSO Sublingual Oil Specifications
| Cannabinoid | Amount | What This Means for Montserratians |
|---|---|---|
| CBD | 4,500mg | Strongest evidence for seizures, anxiety, pain [1]-[6]. For Montserratians dealing with volcanic trauma anxiety or chronic pain, this is your foundation. |
| CBG | 3,000mg | Emerging neuroprotective potential [7][8]. Relevant for aging residents or those with neurological concerns given our limited specialist access. |
| Delta-8 THC | 6,000mg | Less potent psychoactive than delta-9, anti-nausea benefits [9]-[11]. Useful for chemo-related nausea if you’re traveling for cancer treatment. |
| THCa | 1,500mg | Non-psychoactive anti-inflammatory [12]. Critical for daytime use without impairment while working in our tourism sector or driving our winding roads. |
| Delta-9 THC | 90mg | Legal limit compliance. You control when and if it becomes psychoactive via decarboxylation. |
| CBN | 750mg | Marketed for sleep, but evidence is weak [16][17]. At 25-50mg per dose (1-2mL), you’re getting levels investigated in recent literature. |
| CBC | 750mg | Emerging research on neurogenesis [18][19]. Plausible benefit for cognitive health as we age. |
| Total | 16,590mg | At 553mg/mL, this delivers clinical-strength dosing in a graduated dropper (0.1mL increments). |
Price: $129.99 for 30mL — Compare this to traveling to Antigua for pain consultations or paying out-of-pocket for specialist care. For Montserratians on fixed incomes, this represents months of potential relief.
RSO Vape Cartridge Specifications
- 1-gram cartridge with 900mg+ total cannabinoids
- Same six-cannabinoid ratio (no separate delta-9 THC listed—THCa auto-decarbs at vaping temperature)
- 5%+ live terpenes
- 510-thread compatibility—works with standard vape batteries you can source online
Price: $49.99 — For breakthrough pain or panic attacks when you’re hours away from advanced medical care, the 1-2 minute onset is invaluable.
The Seven-Terpene Profile: More Than Just Flavor
Our terpenes aren’t just for taste—they’re selected based on preclinical evidence [20]-[29]:
- Limonene (citrus-bright): Mood elevation, anxiety relief—imagine the scent of our local citrus groves
- Myrcene: Relaxation, pain modulation—complements our laid-back island pace
- β-Caryophyllene (pepper/spice): Direct CB2 receptor activation for inflammation [24]—no other terpene does this
- Pinene (forest-fresh): Respiratory support, mental clarity—like hiking our rainforest trails
- Linalool (lavender): Calm, sleep support—familiar to anyone who’s used aromatherapy
- Humulene (earthy/woody): Anti-inflammatory via CB1 and adenosine pathways [27]
- Terpinolene (piney/fruity): Complexity and subtle effects [28]
This profile creates a sensory experience that connects to Montserrat’s natural environment—citrus, forest, earth—making the medicine feel familiar, not foreign.
Condition-Specific Guidance for Montserratians
Important disclaimer: These are evidence-informed contexts, not medical prescriptions. Always consult Glendon Hospital physicians or your UK-based specialists before starting. Do not operate vehicles or machinery while using psychoactive cannabinoids.
For Our Cancer Patients Traveling Overseas for Treatment
If you’re flying to Barbados or the UK for chemotherapy, our formula offers support:
- Pre-chemo: 0.5-1.0mL sublingual 1 hour before treatment (delta-8 THC for nausea [9])
- Breakthrough nausea: 2-3 vape puffs for immediate relief (1-2 minute onset)
- Post-chemo: 0.5mL sublingual every 6 hours as needed
- Sleep during treatment: 1-2mL before bed (25-50mg CBN) to counter steroid-induced insomnia
Critical note: RSO is not a cancer cure. Montserratians undergoing chemo should never replace proven treatments with cannabis oil. Use this as adjunct support only, with your oncologist’s knowledge.
For Volcanic Trauma and PTSD
The 1995-1997 eruptions didn’t just bury Plymouth—they left lasting psychological scars across generations. If you’re managing PTSD, anxiety, or hypervigilance:
- Daytime functional relief: 0.3mL raw sublingual (CBD + CBG, no impairment) [3][7][8]
- Nighttime: 1.0mL decarboxylated sublingual or 2-3 vape puffs (full cannabinoid profile including CBN) [16][17]
- Acute panic: Vape immediately, then follow with sublingual for sustained relief
Colin’s personal benzo withdrawal experience means we understand what it means to need relief when pharmaceuticals fail.
For Chronic Pain (Arthritis, Neuropathy, Old Injuries)
Many Montserratians work physically demanding jobs in construction, fishing, or tourism. Chronic pain is common, but specialist pain clinics are hours away by plane.
- Daytime: 0.3-0.5mL raw sublingual (anti-inflammatory without impairment) [4][12][24]
- Nighttime: 0.5-1.0mL decarboxylated sublingual (pain relief + sleep support)
- Breakthrough pain: Vape as needed for rapid onset [13]
The beta-caryophyllene CB2 activation [24] combined with THCa’s COX-2 inhibition [12] creates multi-pathway inflammation control—more comprehensive than ibuprofen alone.
For Sleep Disorders
Insomnia plagues many in our community, especially older adults and those with volcanic trauma.
- Before bed: 1-2mL sublingual (delivers 25-50mg CBN)
- Evidence reality check: CBN’s sleep reputation is stronger than its evidence [16][17]. However, at 25-50mg, you’re getting doses that recent literature has investigated. The entourage effect with other cannabinoids may enhance benefit.

The Open-Source Promise: If You Can’t Afford It, Make It
We understand that $129.99 is significant for many Montserrat families. That’s why we publish our complete formula publicly—every milligram amount, every percentage.
Montserrat-Specific DIY Guidance:
If you cannot afford our product, you can source cannabinoid distillates from US or European suppliers and blend your own. The challenge for Montserratians is shipping individual components. We recommend:
- Ordering bulk CBD and CBG isolate first (most affordable)
- Adding delta-8 THC if legal in your jurisdiction
- Sourcing terpenes separately (many food-grade terpenes are available)
- Using organic MCT oil as carrier (available locally or online)
Bentley’s Golden Paste Recipe for Montserrat Pet Owners:
We published the exact recipe that saved Bentley because we know how much Montserratians love their pets. If your dog or cat faces similar challenges:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup organic turmeric powder
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup coconut oil (unrefined, organic—readily available in Montserrat)
- 1-2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- CBD oil (dosage depends on pet size; consult a vet)
Instructions:
- Mix turmeric and water in saucepan, stir over low heat until thick paste forms (7-10 minutes)
- Add coconut oil and black pepper, mix thoroughly
- Cool, store in jar with lid, refrigerate up to 2 weeks
- Mix with pet’s food, start low dose, monitor closely
Safety, Interactions, and Montserrat Healthcare Context
Critical Safety Notes for Our Island Community
Impairment and Driving:
Montserrat’s narrow, winding roads demand full attention. Do not drive after using decarboxylated (psychoactive) oil or vaping. The raw sublingual oil (non-decarboxylated) causes zero impairment—use this if you need daytime relief but must drive to Plymouth or the airport.
Drug Interactions:
If you’re taking medications from Glendon Hospital or UK prescriptions, be aware:
- CBD can affect liver enzymes, potentially altering medication levels [6]
- THC can amplify sedation from pain medications or anti-anxiety drugs
- Always consult your physician before combining with blood thinners, seizure medications, or chemotherapy
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:
The NCCIH explicitly warns against cannabis use during pregnancy [1]. Montserrat’s small population means every pregnancy is precious—do not use RSO if pregnant or nursing.
Mental Health Risks:
High-concentration THC products are associated with increased psychosis risk [15]. If you have a family history of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder (common concerns in small communities), use extreme caution and consult a mental health professional.
Cannabis Use Disorder:
Dependency can develop, especially with high-THC products. In Montserrat’s close community, addiction carries stigma. Start with lowest effective doses and take tolerance breaks.
Pediatric Exposure:
Keep products locked away from children. Our island’s tight quarters mean accidental ingestion risk is higher.
Quality Assurance: What Lab Testing Means for Montserratians
Every batch is third-party tested for:
- Potency: Confirms 553mg/mL concentration within ±2% accuracy
- Heavy metals: Screens for arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury (critical for island dwellers exposed to volcanic soils)
- Pesticides: 400+ compound screening—important as many pesticides banned in the US are still used in Caribbean agriculture
- Residual solvents: Confirms no naphtha, butane, or other toxic solvents
- Microbial contaminants: Screens for E. coli, Salmonella, Aspergillus (mold concerns in tropical climates)
We provide COAs upon request. For Montserrat customers, we recommend storing these digitally in case customs officials request documentation.
The Evidence: What Science Actually Says (Montserrat Edition)
Understanding Our Evidence Hierarchy
We’ve organized research by strength—important for Montserratians making health decisions without local specialists to interpret studies:
- Human clinical trials (strongest)
- Systematic reviews & meta-analyses
- NIH/institutional summaries
- Preclinical (animal/in vitro) (weakest but hypothesis-generating)
Cannabinoid Evidence for Montserrat’s Health Priorities
CBD (4,500mg in our formula)
- Seizures: Strongest evidence—FDA-approved for certain epilepsies [1][2]. Relevant for Montserratians with limited neurology access.
- Anxiety: 2024 meta-analysis of 316 participants shows significant anxiolytic effects [3]. For volcanic trauma survivors, this is promising but not proven.
- Pain: 2024 review finds promising but heterogeneous results [4]. May help with arthritis common in our aging population.
- Sleep: Evidence remains weak [5]. Don’t expect miracles for insomnia.
- Safety: Can elevate liver enzymes—critical if you’re on multiple medications [6].
CBG (3,000mg)
- Neuroprotection: Animal studies show promise for neurologic disorders [7][8]. For Montserratians concerned about aging and cognitive decline, it’s interesting but unproven.
- Commercial reality: Being sold despite thin evidence [7]. We’re transparent about this limitation.
Delta-8 THC (6,000mg)
- Psychoactivity: Real but less potent than delta-9 THC [9]. You will feel effects if decarboxylated.
- Nausea: Anti-emetic properties may help chemo patients [9].
- Safety concerns: 2023 review notes adverse events and quality concerns [10]. Our testing addresses this, but be cautious with other brands.
- Manufacturing: Synthetic conversion process can create byproducts [11]. Our third-party testing screens for these.
THCa (1,500mg)
- Non-psychoactive: Only if kept raw [12]. This is your daytime option.
- Anti-inflammatory: COX-2 inhibition relevant for arthritis [12].
- Conversion: Heating transforms it to THC—this is your legal pathway to psychoactive effects.
Delta-9 THC (90mg total)
- Therapeutic: FDA-approved for chemo nausea and HIV wasting [1]. Our low level keeps you legal; decarboxylation gives you control.
- Pain: High-THC products show short-term benefit but increase dizziness and discontinuation risk [13].
- Mental health risk: High doses linked to psychosis—especially relevant given our community’s trauma history [15].
CBN (750mg)
- Sleep reputation vs. reality: No clinical trials using validated measures [16]. Our 25-50mg doses match recent studies, but evidence is weak.
- Marketing over science: We include it because customers request it, but we’re honest about the data gaps [17].
CBC (750mg)
- Neurogenesis: Animal studies suggest brain-health potential [18][19]. Interesting for aging Montserratians, but human evidence is sparse.
Terpene Evidence: Aromas from Our Island
Our seven-terpene profile is based on preclinical research—not proven human effects. We include them because they make the experience more pleasant and the science is plausible:
- Limonene: Citrus aroma, antioxidant/anti-inflammatory in animal studies [21]. Oxidation can cause allergies [22]—use fresh product.
- Myrcene: Earthy scent, anxiolytic in animals but human proof is limited [23].
- β-Caryophyllene: Peppery spice, direct CB2 agonist [24]—unique among terpenes for cannabinoid receptor activity.
- Pinene: Forest-fresh, respiratory support in animal models [25].
- Linalool: Lavender floral, calming effects in preclinical studies [25][26]. Oxidized form can be allergenic [22].
- Humulene: Woody/earthy, anti-inflammatory via CB1 and adenosine pathways [27].
- Terpinolene: Piney/fruity, least clinically characterized [28].
Bottom line for Montserratians: Terpenes make the product smell and taste better, and may contribute effects, but claims are exploratory, not proven [20][29].
Common Montserrat-Specific Questions Answered
“Is this legal in Montserrat?”
As a British Overseas Territory, Montserrat generally follows UK drug laws where cannabis remains illegal. However, hemp-derived products with <0.3% delta-9 THC occupy a gray area. You accept legal responsibility when ordering. We provide full documentation, but cannot guarantee customs acceptance. Many Caribbean nations are evolving their hemp policies—verify current Montserrat law before ordering.
“Will this show up on a drug test?”
- Raw (non-decarboxylated): THCa does not trigger standard THC tests. Safe for employment screening.
- Decarboxylated or vaped: Will absolutely cause positive THC test. Do not use if subject to workplace testing.
“How is this different from CBD oil I can order online?”
Standard CBD oil contains one cannabinoid. Our RSO contains seven cannabinoids at clinical concentrations (16,590mg total) plus seven terpenes. It’s like the difference between taking vitamin C versus a complete multivitamin—except these molecules work synergistically through the entourage effect [20][29].
“Why is it expensive?”
At $129.99, it’s an investment. But consider:
- 16,590mg total cannabinoids = approximately 40-60 doses
- Cost per dose: $2.60-$3.25
- Compare to flight costs to see specialists ($300-500) or monthly prescription costs
- Open-source option: Make your own using our published formula if cost is prohibitive
“Can I make this myself in Montserrat?”
Yes, but sourcing individual cannabinoid distillates may be challenging. The open-source formula is:
- 4,500mg CBD
- 3,000mg CBG
- 6,000mg Delta-8 THC
- 1,500mg THCa
- 90mg Delta-9 THC
- 750mg CBN
- 750mg CBC
- 5% live terpenes
- Organic MCT oil to 30mL
You’ll need a precision scale, sterile equipment, and reliable suppliers. For Montserratians, the shipping complexity of sourcing seven components may exceed the cost of buying the finished product.
