Who’s in this episode
Respect My Region sits down with Kyle McFarlin, Director of Medical Partnerships at Emerald Bay Extracts. The conversation focuses on RSO, wellness-driven cannabis products, precise dosing, and why consumer education still matters—especially for patients and buyers looking beyond standard recreational formats.
Emerald Bay Extracts’ newest launch: olive oil-based RSO tinctures
Kyle opens the interview with one of Emerald Bay’s latest product updates: olive oil-based RSO tinctures.
The new tinctures come in multiple options, including:
- Sativa
- Indica
- White CBG
- High CBD
- 1:1 CBD
- Sleep-focused formulas with CBN, CBD, and THC
The practical benefit is flexibility. Customers can mix and match products to create a more personalized wellness routine—for example, pairing CBG with an indica or combining sativa with CBD depending on the desired effect.
For dispensaries, this creates a strong education opportunity. Instead of selling “one RSO product,” budtenders can guide customers based on use case: daytime support, relaxation, pain relief, sleep, or higher-dose needs.
Precise dosing across multiple formats
Emerald Bay Extracts has built its product lineup around different dosing preferences.
Kyle discusses several formats, including:
- Tablets
- Syringes
- Tinctures
He also highlights a newer sleep formula: a 1:1 blend of CBN, CBD, and THC, available in 25mg tablets, syringe form, and tincture form.
That matters because not every consumer wants to dose the same way. Some people prefer tablets for simplicity. Others like tinctures for flexibility. Some experienced users prefer syringes because they can control dose placement and serving size more directly.
Why Kyle is excited about White CBG
When asked for his current favorite, Kyle points to the White CBG product.
He frames CBG as a strong daytime option because it is not psychoactive in the same way as THC, but may support a more balanced mood and body comfort. He specifically mentions using it for day-to-day support, recovery after snowboarding or workouts, and easing tension from physical activity.
He also notes that pairing CBG with higher-THC products can change the overall experience, making it a useful cannabinoid for more customized routines.
For buyers, this is a good reminder: CBG is not just a niche cannabinoid anymore. It is becoming a useful part of the wellness conversation.
RSO explained: full-profile extraction with a medical legacy
Kyle gives a simple explanation of RSO:
RSO is an ethanol-based extraction designed to capture the plant’s full profile into a concentrated oil. It has been around for more than 20 years, and Emerald Bay Extracts has put its own spin on it through strain specificity and multiple dosing formats.
That “strain-specific” angle is important. Many consumers still think of RSO as one heavy, generic product. Emerald Bay is positioning it more precisely—different strains, different cannabinoids, different delivery formats, and different use cases.
The syringe details matter
During the interview, Kyle shows one of Emerald Bay’s RSO syringes and explains how it is designed for easier use.
Key details include:
- A sturdy syringe format
- A wider grip area for better handling
- Guidance to warm the syringe in a glass of warm water to loosen the oil before dispensing
- Dose markers where each line represents roughly 10–15mg
- Packaging that includes a dot reference to help consumers understand dose size
That may sound simple, but it solves a real problem. RSO can be intimidating for new consumers. Clear dose references and easier handling lower the barrier to entry.
The main message at Hall of Flowers: education
Kyle is direct about what Emerald Bay wants from buyers and dispensaries at Hall of Flowers:
Ask questions.
The team wants retailers to understand how these products work for patients, how to explain them, and how to match different formats to different consumer needs. Kyle says education is “the name of the game” and warns that without it, the industry risks losing sight of the medical benefits of cannabis.
That is a strong point for dispensaries. RSO, CBG, CBN, high-CBD products, and precise-dose formats need trained staff. They do not sell like impulse gummies or high-THC flower. They require explanation.
“Something for everybody” is the real product strategy
One of the biggest takeaways from the conversation is that Emerald Bay Extracts is not treating RSO as a single-category product.
Kyle explains that the best candidate for RSO can be almost anyone:
- Someone who likes edibles but wants to avoid sugar
- Someone who needs a high-dose format
- Someone looking for sleep support
- Someone exploring cannabinoids like CBG or CBD
- Someone seeking a more medical-style cannabis product
That makes Emerald Bay’s lineup useful for dispensaries that want to serve both recreational and wellness-focused customers.
Research, compassionate care, and the future of cannabis as medicine
Kyle closes by talking about Emerald Bay’s larger focus: research.
The brand wants to help push cannabis forward as a viable medicine and eventually support a world where insurance companies may cover cannabis under health plans. He also mentions compassionate care and encourages people dealing with illness to reach out for support and potential compassion donations.
That gives the brand a clear mission beyond product sales.
