Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Yakutat City and Borough: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis
For the self-reliant souls of Yakutat — where the wilderness meets the ocean, where neighbors still help neighbors, and where healthcare can feel a thousand miles away
Who is Rick Simpson and Why Does RSO Matter to Yakutat?
Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor. He was a power engineer from Nova Scotia, a blue-collar tradesman who got hurt at work in 1997 when he fell from scaffolding. He developed chronic tinnitus, dizziness, and pain that prescription medications couldn’t touch. When cannabis helped more than anything his doctors gave him, he asked his physician to support cannabis use. The doctor refused. Sound familiar, Yakutat? We’ve all seen friends go through similar frustrations with the medical system — especially when you’re working commercial fishing boats or processing seafood in one of the most remote boroughs in America, where the nearest specialist might be in Juneau, Anchorage, or even Seattle.
Simpson’s pivotal moment came in 2003 when he claims cannabis oil removed basal cell carcinoma lesions from his arm in four days. No biopsy, no medical verification — just his personal experience. But that experience sparked a global movement. He started giving the oil away for free to cancer patients, chronic pain sufferers, people with diabetes, infections, glaucoma, arthritis, depression, insomnia — the same conditions we see in our own community in Yakutat. The 2005 documentary Run From The Cure spread his story worldwide. By 2012, he’d published Phoenix Tears and sparked a revolution in how people think about concentrated cannabis oil.
Important context for Yakutat readers: Simpson’s story is historically significant personal testimony, not medical evidence. No independent doctor verified his cancer cure, and no clinical trials have ever proven RSO cures cancer in humans. But his story resonates across the fishing villages and remote homes of Alaska because we’ve all known someone the system failed. That’s why understanding the real science behind RSO matters now more than ever.
Traditional RSO: What Simpson Actually Made
The 60-Gram Protocol That Reaches Yakutat Kitchen Tables
Simpson’s famous protocol called for consuming 60 grams of oil over 90 days. The dosing started small — half a grain of rice three times daily — and escalated to 1 gram per day by week five. For context, that’s 600-900mg of delta-9 THC daily at peak dosing, assuming the oil was 60-90% THC.
Why this matters for Yakutat: Many of us have friends who’ve tried to replicate this protocol with homemade oil after hearing stories online. But here’s what most don’t understand about traditional RSO:
- Made with toxic solvents: Simpson used naphtha (lighter fluid) or 99% isopropyl alcohol — neither food-grade. Residual solvent contamination is a real risk without lab testing.
- No standardization: Every batch varied wildly depending on the cannabis strain, growing conditions, and extraction efficiency.
- No lab testing: No COAs, no cannabinoid quantification, no heavy metal or pesticide screening.
- Destroyed terpenes: The high-heat process stripped away the aromatic compounds that may contribute to therapeutic effects.
- Always psychoactive: The heat converted all THCa to delta-9 THC, meaning no option for daytime use without impairment.
For remote Alaskans who might be preparing homemade extracts in small kitchens without proper ventilation, the solvent risk alone is worth serious consideration. Yakutat’s tight housing and limited ventilation in many fishing-season rentals make solvent-based extraction particularly hazardous.
The Evidence Record: What Science Actually Says
Before you or anyone in Yakutat considers using RSO for serious conditions, you deserve the honest truth:
What the preclinical literature shows:
- THC and CBD can induce apoptosis (cell death) and slow tumor growth in petri dishes and animal models
- Some rodent studies show tumor inhibition
What it does NOT show:
- No human clinical trial has ever proven RSO or any cannabis oil cures cancer
- A small human trial in glioblastoma patients was exploratory and did not produce curative results
- The gap between lab results and human outcomes is massive
Institutional positions:
- National Cancer Institute acknowledges anticancer research but does NOT endorse cannabis as cancer treatment
- FDA has NOT approved any cannabis plant product for cancer [1]
- Health Canada has never approved RSO for cancer
What Simpson got right: He brought global attention to cannabinoid research when the world was ignoring it. The term “RSO” remains the most recognized name for full-spectrum cannabis extract.
What he overstated: Cure claims exceed the evidence. Encouraging patients to use RSO instead of proven treatments carries real harm potential. Delaying surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy can be life-threatening.
For Yakutat residents facing cancer diagnoses — perhaps at Providence Alaska in Anchorage, or considering medevac to Seattle — this is the most critical message: RSO can complement medical care, but it must not replace it. Talk with your oncologist. If they’re open to integrative approaches, bring them the evidence section from this guide.
About OilWell Cannabis: From Houston to Yakutat’s Shores
Built on Love, Loss, and Real Experience
OilWell Cannabis was founded by Colin Valencia in Houston, Texas — a long way from Yakutat, but our story resonates across the miles because it starts with something every Alaskan understands: love for a companion and refusal to give up.
Colin grew up in McAllen, Texas, right on the Mexico border — a place of economic struggle and violence where he saw friends killed or imprisoned. He left home at sixteen and eventually found his way into cannabis, not as a business, but as a way to help people when the system failed them. Later, he became a software engineer and did custom development work for Baylor College of Medicine, one of the most prestigious medical institutions in the Texas Medical Center. That combination of deep plant knowledge and medical-grade technical precision defines everything we do.
But the real origin? A dog named Bentley.
Bentley wasn’t just a pet — he was family. When veterinarians said euthanasia was the only humane option for Bentley’s paralysis, Colin refused to accept it. A rescue worker named Jessica asked the question that changed everything: “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and you’ve never heard of CBD?”
Colin created a CBD golden paste for Bentley. The results weren’t placebo — dogs don’t respond to placebo. Bentley got up, walked over, and brought his ball to play. From paralyzed and facing death to playing fetch. Bentley lived another ten years, dying naturally at age twenty. During those years, Colin developed specialized formulas for every condition Bentley faced: neurodegeneration (leading to CBG research), dementia (CBC), glaucoma (THC), crippling arthritis (multi-pathway anti-inflammatories). Single cannabinoids weren’t enough — Bentley taught Colin that precision multi-cannabinoid synergy matters when a life depends on it.
Colin’s Personal Battle: PTSD and Benzo Withdrawal
Colin also knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He struggled with severe PTSD and Xanax addiction. When he decided to quit benzos cold turkey — a notoriously dangerous process — he used the same cannabinoid knowledge that saved Bentley. The Peace Gummies formula that became an OilWell product was created during midnight experiments while fighting through benzo withdrawal. Colin personally uses the vape form for insomnia and severe PTSD.
Why this matters for Yakutat: We know our community includes veterans, commercial fishermen who’ve seen traumatic events, and people who’ve been prescribed benzos for anxiety or sleep. Colin’s story isn’t corporate marketing — it’s survival. He lived what you’re living. That’s why our formulas aren’t theoretical; they’re battle-tested by someone who refused to accept pharmaceutical failure.
The OilWell RSO Philosophy: Four Principles That Matter in Yakutat
1. Accessibility Over Gatekeeping
No medical card required. Anyone age 21+ can purchase. We ship nationwide, including to Alaska, and internationally to jurisdictions where hemp-derived products are legal.
For Yakutat residents, this is revolutionary. You don’t need to fly to Anchorage, locate a dispensary, get a medical card, or explain your condition to a doctor who might not understand cannabis medicine. You can order from your home in Yakutat, and we’ll deliver directly. The product is legal under Alaska law and the federal Farm Bill because it contains less than 0.3% delta-9 THC at the point of sale.
2. Patient-Controlled Potency
Traditional RSO was always psychoactive — no choice. Our formula includes 1,500mg of THCa, the non-psychoactive precursor to THC.
For Yakutat’s working families: You have three options:
-
Raw (no heat): All 1,500mg stays as THCa — completely non-psychoactive. You can work on your boat, drive to the post office, or attend a community meeting with zero impairment. The THCa provides anti-inflammatory benefits via COX-2 inhibition [12].
-
Fully activated (home decarboxylation): Heat the oil at 260°F for 45-60 minutes, and 1,500mg THCa converts to ~1,315mg delta-9 THC. Combined with the existing 90mg delta-9 THC, you get ~1,405mg total delta-9 THC plus 6,000mg delta-8 THC — psychoactive potency comparable to illegal high-THC RSO, but 100% legal because you, the customer, control the activation.
-
Vape (instant activation): Our vape cartridge automatically decarboxylates THCa at 400-450°F, delivering immediate effects for breakthrough pain or panic attacks.
This means one purchase serves multiple needs — daytime functional use or nighttime therapeutic strength. You decide, not the product.
3. Open-Source Formulas
We publish our complete formulas publicly. Why? Because Rick Simpson gave his oil away for free. He taught people to make it themselves. We honor that ethos by selling a professionally manufactured, lab-tested product AND publishing the recipe so anyone who can’t afford it can make their own.
For Yakutat’s self-reliant culture: This matters. You can source cannabinoid distillates online, follow our exact formula, and create your own version. We’ll even help you understand the process. The complete formula appears later in this guide. This isn’t a marketing gimmick — it’s our way of ensuring no one in Yakutat is shut out because of price.
4. Evidence-Informed, Not Evidence-Overstating
We hold ourselves to the same evidence standards we apply to everyone else. Below, you’ll find 29 peer-reviewed citations evaluating every cannabinoid and terpene in our formula. We distinguish between what’s well-supported by human trials, what’s emerging from preclinical research, and what’s overstated.
Bottom line for Yakutat: We’re not here to sell you hope. We’re here to give you the best possible version of the information so you can decide what’s right for you.
Farm Bill Compliance and the Alaska Legal Framework
Our RSO Sublingual Oil contains only 90mg of delta-9 THC in the entire 30mL bottle (3mg/mL). This is well under the federal 0.3% limit. All cannabinoids are hemp-derived. The product is legal under the 2018 Farm Bill and Alaska state law.
Alaska-specific context: Alaska legalized adult-use cannabis in 2014. You can possess and use cannabis products if you’re 21+. However, there are no licensed cannabis retailers in Yakutat City and Borough. The nearest dispensary is likely in Juneau (over 200 miles away by air or sea) or Anchorage (nearly 300 miles). For many Yakutat residents, accessing quality cannabis products means expensive travel or relying on inconsistent sources.
Our products ship legally to Alaska. We include full documentation, Certificates of Analysis (COAs), and receipts for any customs or legal questions. Alaska residents can order directly without leaving the borough.
Important legal notice for Alaska: THCa converts to delta-9 THC when heated. You are responsible for understanding and complying with local laws. Our products are legal at purchase; what you do with them after that (including decarboxylation) is your responsibility. Do not operate boats, vehicles, or machinery while under the influence of psychoactive cannabinoids.
The Decarboxylation Choice: Empowering Remote Alaskans
Traditional RSO offered no options. Our formula gives you control. Here’s how it works:
Conversion chemistry: 1mg THCa = 0.877mg delta-9 THC after heating (loss of CO₂ molecule).
Practical steps for Yakutat homes:
- Preheat your oven (or even a propane oven in a remote cabin) to 260°F (125°C)
- Transfer desired amount of oil to oven-safe glass
- Heat for 45-60 minutes
- Cool before use
- The THCa is now delta-9 THC
Partial decarb option: Transfer just what you plan to use immediately, leaving the rest in raw form. This extends your supply and maintains flexibility.
Storage in Yakutat’s climate: Our product is stable, but extreme cold can thicken the oil. Warm it gently in your hands or place the closed bottle in warm water for a few minutes. The MCT oil base remains liquid well below freezing, but if stored in an unheated cabin during winter, you may need to warm it slightly for easier dispensing.
Solvent-Free Production: Safety for Isolated Communities
Traditional RSO used naphtha or isopropyl alcohol — toxic, flammable, and dangerous to purge without lab equipment. In Yakutat’s remote setting, where houses are close together and fire departments are volunteer-based, solvent-based extraction poses real risks.
Our production uses no solvents. We blend purified cannabinoid distillates and isolates in a controlled environment. The carrier is organic MCT oil — food-grade, safe, and stable.
Third-party lab testing includes:
- Cannabinoid potency (verified to ±2% accuracy)
- Terpene profile
- Heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury)
- Pesticides (400+ compounds)
- Residual solvents (FDA Class 3 limits)
- Microbial contaminants (E. coli, Salmonella, Aspergillus)
COAs available on request. For Yakutat customers, we email digital copies with every order and can mail printed copies if needed.

Media Recognition: Third-Party Validation
Between 2019 and 2023, ABC13 Houston — a major-market ABC affiliate — featured Colin Valencia and OilWell Cannabis in seven news segments. Five different reporters sought Colin out across four years. No other Houston cannabis operator matches this frequency or breadth.
What this means for Yakutat: Mainstream media validation from a major news outlet establishes credibility that no marketing can replicate. When you’re considering a product for your health in a remote community, knowing that a trusted news organization repeatedly identified Colin as the expert voice matters.
Key features documented:
- September 2019: “I’m not trying to sell people snake oil…people just need to know and try and have the best possible version”
- August 2021: $35,000 in product given away to encourage COVID vaccination, coordinated with City of Houston
- October 2021: Proactive removal of Delta-8 products before enforcement, warning other operators
- October 2022: Personal marijuana conviction history revealed — making every prior quote more powerful
- April 2023: Described as industry leader in “Renaissance” moment for Texas cannabis
Complete quote index available in original documentation. Every quote reflects consistency across four years — the same honest, education-first approach.
Scientific Evidence: The Foundation
Our formulas connect to 29 peer-reviewed citations. Here’s the honest breakdown by evidence tier:
Human Clinical Evidence (Strongest):
- CBD for rare epilepsies [2]
- Delta-9 THC for chemotherapy nausea [1][13]
- High-concentration THC risks (psychosis, dependence) [15]
Systematic Reviews/Meta-Analyses:
- CBD for anxiety: promising but limited sample [3]
- CBD for pain: heterogeneous, emerging [4]
- CBD for sleep: methodologically weak [5]
- CBD liver safety: real signal for enzyme elevation [6]
- High-THC mental health risks: consistent unfavorable associations [15]
Preclinical/Mechanistic:
- CBG pharmacology: CB1/CB2, alpha-2, 5-HT1A [7][8]
- Delta-8 THC: partial CB1 agonist, less potent than delta-9 [9]
- THCa: COX-2, PPARγ, non-psychoactive until heated [12]
- CBC: antinociceptive, antibacterial, neurogenic potential [18][19]
- CBN: sleep reputation far ahead of clinical evidence [16][17]
Institutional Summaries:
- NCCIH: Strongest evidence for epilepsies, chemo nausea, HIV appetite [1]
- NCI: Acknowledges anticancer research, doesn’t endorse cannabis as cancer treatment
Terpene Evidence:
- Caryophyllene: CB2 agonist, most cannabinoid-relevant [24]
- Limonene, myrcene, pinene, linalool: promising preclinical, limited human confirmation [20]-[28]
- Entourage effect: plausible but not clinically proven [20][29]
For Yakutat readers: This evidence hierarchy matters because when you’re isolated and making health decisions, you need to know what’s proven, what’s promising, and what’s speculation. We don’t hide the gaps.

- Price: $49.99
For Yakutat: The vape is ideal for quick relief when you’re away from home — on the water, at the processing plant, or when sudden anxiety hits during storm season.
Terpene Profile: The Aroma of Alaska Medicine
Both products contain the same seven-terpene blend at 5%:
Limonene (citrus-bright): Mood elevation, stress relief. Think of the smell when you peel an orange in your Yakutat kitchen on a dark winter morning.
Myrcene: Herbal, earthy. Most abundant terpene in cannabis. Preclinical research suggests anti-inflammatory properties, though human evidence is limited.
Caryophyllene (β-caryophyllene): Pepper/spice. Only terpene proven to directly activate CB2 receptors [24]. This is your inflammation fighter — crucial for fishing injuries and arthritis.
Pinene (forest-fresh): Pine scent. Preclinical research suggests alertness and memory support. For Yakutat, it’s the smell of our backyard forests.
Linalool (lavender): Floral, calming. Well-known for anxiety relief in aromatherapy. Human clinical evidence in cannabis context is still developing.
Humulene (earthy, woody): Anti-inflammatory potential via CB1 and adenosine pathways [27].
Terpinolene (piney, fruity, sparkling): Complex aroma. Least clinically studied of our profile, but contributes to entourage effect potential.
Evidence note: While these terpenes show preclinical promise, human clinical proof of cannabis-specific entourage effects remains limited [20][29]. We include them because they’re biologically plausible and contribute to the full-spectrum experience, not because they’re proven miracle compounds.
Research Limits and Overstatements: Our Promise to Yakutat
We respect you enough to tell you what we DON’T know:
-
Evidence is highly uneven. CBD and delta-9 THC have the strongest human data; CBG, CBN, CBC, and terpenes are still emerging.
-
Don’t replace proven treatments. If you have cancer, work with your oncologist at Providence or Alaska Native Medical Center. RSO can complement, not replace, proven therapies.
-
Minor cannabinoids are commercially interesting BECAUSE they’re underexplored. That means claims often outrun the science. We’re honest about that.
-
Product quality matters as much as molecule identity. Label inaccuracies, contamination, and synthesis byproducts all affect real-world results. Our testing addresses this.
-
THCa chemistry changes with storage and heating. Use raw if you want non-psychoactive; decarb if you want psychoactive. There’s no in-between.
Common overstatements we avoid:
- CBN is NOT clinically proven as a sleep aid [16][17]
- Myrcene is NOT proven as a human sedative [23]
- Terpene entourage effects are NOT proven in humans [20][29]
- THCa is NOT always non-psychoactive (it converts) [12]
- Delta-8 is NOT safe just because it’s hemp-derived [9][10]

Yakutat-Specific Considerations
Cold Weather: Our MCT oil-based formula remains liquid down to well below freezing. If stored in an unheated cabin during Yakutat’s -20°F winters, it may thicken slightly. Warm in your hands or place the sealed bottle in warm water for 2-3 minutes.
Light Exposure: Yakutat’s extreme latitude (60°N) means 20+ hour days in summer and 5-hour days in winter. This affects sleep cycles and mood. Our sleep formula (CBN-focused) is particularly relevant for your community.
Drug Testing: Many Yakutat residents work in safety-sensitive positions (fishing, aviation, processing). Important: THCa in raw form will NOT cause positive THC tests. However, once decarboxylated or if using the vape, delta-8 and delta-9 THC WILL trigger positive results. Use raw sublingual oil only if you’re subject to testing.
Healthcare Access: With limited local providers, our evidence-based documentation helps you have informed conversations with telehealth doctors or specialists in Anchorage. We provide the research citations; you bring the knowledge.
Self-Reliance Culture: Yakutat’s subsistence lifestyle values doing things yourself. Our open-source formula honors that. We’ll help you make your own if that’s your path.
Community Trust: In a town of 600 people, word travels fast. We earn trust through transparency, not hype. Every claim is backed by a citation you can verify yourself.
