Medical marijuana's benefits can be reaped through a variety of products and ingestion methods, but some patients suffering from chronic diseases and cancers need something stronger than a joint.

Rick Simpson Oil, a form of highly concentrated marijuana from California named after its creator, takes whole marijuana plant matter and extracts the plant's cannabinoids and other natural oils with isopropyl alcohol. Patients using the treatment have claimed everything from tumor reduction to loss of pain, with many other potential benefits in between.

Unfortunately, finding RSO isn't very easy. Most patients previously received it from a personal caregiver or made it themselves, but both of those practices are fading fast as more pot shops open. Now some dispensaries and commercial extractors are answering the call, with Caregivers for Life labs, Colorado Cannabis Company and Karing Kind Labs all selling wholesale RSO to medical and recreational dispensaries.

Here are some dispensaries in the Denver area currently carrying RSO (or Phoenix Tears, a common name for doses of RSO):
