About Us

Front Range Kratom & CBD opened its doors in January of 2018 to provide people with a place they could trust to find safe, reliable, and third-party tested Kratom. We found a farmer in Indonesia who has continued to provide us with consistent Kratom powder, as well as local vendors with a similar passion for safe Kratom. With virtually no advertising, we built our business customer by customer.

Shortly after establishing ourselves as a leading Kratom provider in the Aurora, Colorado, area, Pure Colorado CBD was born as our in-house product line. Pure Colorado CBD is known locally and nationally for its best-selling CBD and lidocaine pain cream, as well as a variety of other CBD topicals and CBD tinctures for people and pets.

Not only can you always find our in-house products, formulated by professional chemists, on the shelves, but we’re also dedicated to bringing you the best CBD products we can find on the market.

We pride ourselves on our close relationships with our outside vendors, and everything in store has been tested and tried by our staff. It’s been rewarding to help so many people over the years, as well as to expand the variety of Kratom and other herbal products we offer.

The goal of this blog is to continue spreading our knowledge about the benefits of plant and alternative medicine for people and pets.
