Home Remedies: Strong Enough to Help, Gentle Enough to Hold
As kids, when we got sick, relief usually came in simple forms: chicken noodle soup, Vicks rubbed on your chest, a cold rag on the forehead. They weren’t cures by any means, but they made the suffering bearable. One day, you may find yourself on the other side of that equation—the caretaker. Whether it’s for a parent, a partner, or a child, you’ll understand why this plant matters in the first place.
Our Wealth…
Here’s the harsh truth: nobody walks into a dispensary because life is perfect. Even when it’s for a celebration, the motive is the same—people are looking for something more. A way to shift the gears, to soften the edges. To make nothing to do, something to do. It’s the real reason the state has so much revenue. The flashy packaging just makes it easier to choose the what, as we all deal with the why in our own ways.
Our Health…
But behind the glitz—the high-THC flower, the flashy packaging—live the products that almost feel forgotten. RSO syringes. Flower testing low on THC but high in CBD. The ones retailers look at like garbage, because they don’t “sell.” Yet, for someone just handed a cancer diagnosis, they’re the lifeline. Potent enough to help and show potential, gentle enough to not push someone into a spiral.
Naturopaths…
This is where companies like Verdes and Carver step in. Verdes keeps a 2:1 RSO syringe available only by request, so it goes to the patients who need it most. Carver’s RSO has built a reputation that borders on folklore. Both are a godsend when the conventional road feels too harsh, or simply runs out. These aren’t marketing gimmicks. They’re tools of compassion, from people that value their consumers for more than their wallets.
Caretakers…
So what do you do when there’s nothing you can do, and nothing you can do about it? You do what you can. For many of us, this plant has been the thing that gave us patience to endure, or comfort to pass on to someone we love. That’s why it matters. That’s why it’s here. As important as it is to run a business, let’s not forget the song that brought us to the dance.
