TLDR version: These products are amazing, GO HERE!…read more
I've been to this location several times when I'm in Plano for an event, which isn't often. It's funny, but I had my mind made up about this place when I arrived, because I tried several expensive products of another brand that did not work.
At the time of my first visit, I didn't have a ton of faith in CBD as being good for my particular pain. I'm a literal hot mess with a chronic pain condition I've been dealing with for a long time. I had sampled some products that just didn't work and didn't yet realize that not all CBD products are created equal and the dosage is really important.
I really only came in to get a feel for their products, ask about some pricing and go on with my day. I did notice at that time that their prices on things I could compare (tinctures of oil, cream, gummies) were significantly cheaper. We decided to get one thing of gummies and a cone.
The woman who was answering our questions was very helpful and knowledgeable. She explained that they do their own manufacturing, which allows them to cut out the price of distribution. She also answered questions about dosage, uses and was generally pleasant.
While paying I noticed they had a big bottle of topical pain cream with a pump they were using as free samples at the register. This gave me pause, this stuff is so pricey, why would anyone sacrifice a whole bottle? Well, I'm always up for free, so I pumped twice and spread a liberal amount over my hands and wrists. We said goodbye and left.
While we were at a restaurant 20 minutes later, my husband asked me why I was staring at my hands. I was staring because I've been in extreme pain, especially in my hands, for about 18 years... and my left hand wasn't hurting...
Granted, my left side is half as painful as my right side and the right hand was still in pain. However, an hour or so later I noticed even the pain in my right hand had lessened by a few degrees! What the hell is in this stuff?? I've tried all sorts of topicals over the years, they never work. I was shocked.
So of course, when we were back in Plano a few weeks later, I stopped in specifically for this Colorado Cures brand. The two gentleman who helped me were just as helpful as the lady on our first visit was. Very pleasant and helpful staff here.
They showed me 3 sizes of this topical (Hot Canna Cream). The one at the register was the large size, which is 1000 mg and costs $59.99. They showed me a travel size for $19.99 that was 250 mg. After asking about the potency compared to their sample, and being assured 2 pumps would do the trick, I went with the middle size. I bought 4 ounces, 500 mg, for $39.99. I still felt it was a small enough size with a cap I could throw it in an overnight bag without issue.
I am so impressed with this brand, I've tried several others and this actually works! It's so much better than American Shaman, which did nothing for me and was $110 for 2 ounces!
After 3 days of using it, my skin felt really hot on my back, where the pain isn't as severe, so I asked my husband to check it and tell me if I was all red. I was confused when I wasn't.
Finally, I read the label again and realized it's a hot cream- it's supposed to be hot! Could this mean my pain receptors were normalizing? I have overactive nerves and actually feel a lot of sensations differently than most people, so the thought was shocking to me. About a week later, I started feeling the heat when applying to my arms and hands. Crazy! In a good way!
I even used some of this on one of my husbands old injuries that was flaring up and he felt better within an hour and it wasn't bothering him after the second day. For me, I usually apply in the evening and I don't feel the same level of pain until the next afternoon.
Another product I swear by is their gummy bears! I've continued to compare them to several other types and doses and the Colorado Cures brand from here is by far the best I've tried. Also, it's a similar price, about $2 per gummy or 10 for $20.
I've had problems with insomnia for over two decades. These gummies consistently make me feel tired within an hour and relax me more to fall asleep. I also sleep an extra hour or two than other brands, but don't wake up groggy. More shock and awe!
Colorado Cures brand is the best I've tried!!!
I checked out their website to see if there was a closer location and I found a list of 'Coming Soon' locations and my town is on it! I just wish I knew when! I wish they would hurry!!! Can't...wait...
CBD doesn't have to be used for pain only, it also benefits those with anxiety, difficulty sleeping and trouble focusing. They have oils, topicals, cones, edibles and more. These products do not have THC. If you're on the fence because you have questions, go in there and talk to them, they are lovely people.
However, if you've been "just dealing" with pain like me, then I definitely recommend you try this place over anyone else!
