Introducing Hempstock Pharms True Snake Oil:
Honoring Tradition, Delivering Purity
Woodstock, IL — Hempstock Pharms is proud to announce the launch of our newest product: Hempstock Pharms Snake Oil, a testament to the timeless value of nature’s remedies and a bold statement against the misinformation plaguing both the hemp and wellness industries. This is no ordinary “snake oil”—it’s the real deal.
Centuries ago, Chinese migrant laborers brought a powerful secret to America: oil derived from the Chinese water snake, rich in omega-3 fatty acids and revered for its anti-inflammatory and healing properties. Unlike the fraudulent concoctions of unscrupulous salesmen who hijacked the term “snake oil” in the late 19th century, this traditional remedy was authentic and effective. Over time, however, the term became synonymous with fraud, much like how Delta-8 THC—a hemp-derived cannabinoid with real therapeutic potential—is now misunderstood and maligned.
At Hempstock Pharms, we’re reclaiming the truth. Our Snake Oil is crafted from sustainably sourced Chinese water snakes, working with a trusted vendor in China who upholds the highest standards of purity and quality. Each 2-ounce bottle contains genuine snake oil and nothing else, delivering the real benefits that have stood the test of time.
Priced at $40 per bottle, we’re ensuring this powerful remedy is accessible to everyone. What’s more, $5 from each purchase will go directly to the Illinois Hemp Growers Association to support their vital work in advocating for reasonable legislation to ensure safety, purity, potency, and testing.
“Our mission has always been to provide products that are real, true, and effective,” said Stacy McCaskill, CEO and founder of Hempstock Pharms. “We are healers and truth tellers. That is the only way to truly ‘unlock the healing power’ of plant and animal based medicine.”
Just like the original Chinese water snake oil makers, Hempstock stands by the integrity of our hand crafted products. Unfortunately, as the cannabis market has expanded, it has become peppered with some misbranded, untested, and unsafe products—many of which give the entire industry a bad name. Hempstock Pharms Snake Oil is our way of leading by example.
Hempstock Pharms Snake Oil is more than just a product—it’s a powerful symbol. It represents our commitment to honoring tradition, fighting misinformation, and ensuring that the wellness industry delivers on its promises. In a world where “snake oil” and “Delta-8 THC” are used as punchlines, we’re here to remind people of their true potential.
We invite our customers to try Hempstock Pharms Snake Oil for themselves and experience the difference that comes from a product that is real, true, tested, and effective. Together, let’s rewrite the narrative—one bottle at a time.

Snake oil began as a genuine remedy in traditional Chinese medicine, made from Chinese water snakes rich in omega-3 fatty acids to reduce inflammation and pain. When Chinese immigrants brought it to the United States in the 19th century, it gained attention for its effectiveness. However, its reputation was soon tarnished as opportunists in America exploited its popularity, replacing the real product with ineffective or even harmful substitutes.
One of the most infamous figures was Clark Stanley, known as the "Rattlesnake King," who captivated audiences with dramatic demonstrations at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, where he slaughtered snakes on stage to promote his so-called miracle cure. Despite his theatrics, investigations revealed that Stanley’s snake oil contained no actual snake oil, only mineral oil and other cheap fillers. His fraudulent claims, along with those of other patent medicine hucksters, turned snake oil into a symbol of deceit, undermining trust in alternative remedies and spurring public demand for regulation.
Yet, the true story of snake oil reminds us that even something tainted by fraud began with a foundation of real value. Its original purpose—healing and alleviating pain—stands as a testament to the power of nature and tradition. Snake oil’s journey from authentic remedy to cautionary tale challenges us to seek truth, demand integrity, and embrace the potential for rediscovering forgotten wisdom in our pursuit of progress.
