Education is important to us.

We have dedicated our day to day interactions with customers to assure they leave with two things, knowledge on the product they purchased and comfort knowing it is sourced from somewhere they can trust. For too long now, there has been a stigma attached to to the cannabis plant due to a misunderstanding of its uses and benefits to both humans and animals. At Alamo Botanicals we are passionate about educating people with truth about Hemp and CBD in our stores, online, and through our many partners/physicians.

Those who visit our stores are guided by a Certified CBD Specialist to help them find the product that fits their lifestyle best as well as information on how to use it properly. Every day we meet new people who first visit us with zero knowledge about CBD and walk out with enough information to start sharing with their friends and family. Recommendations through word of mouth is how we’ve continued to reach new people and introduce them to alternative methods to achieve a better quality of life.

We commit ourselves to knowing exactly what goes into our products and testing every batch to ensure quality and gain trust through transparency. We provide lab results also known as a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every product. As the Hemp industry rapidly evolves, we hope you are able find comfort knowing we will always communicate new laws and regulations in an effort to keep you safe and up to date on the latest industry news.
