Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Glades County, Florida: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis

If you’re reading this from Glades County — maybe from Moore Haven, Buckhead Ridge, or out near Lake Okeechobee where the air smells of citrus and the sky goes on forever — you’re probably looking for something real. Something that works when the pills stop working. Something honest in a world full of noise. We understand that here at OilWell Cannabis, and that’s exactly why we built our RSO formulas differently.

Glades County isn’t like the big cities. You’re practical people. You work with your hands, you know your neighbors, and you can spot bullshit from a mile away. You don’t have time for hype. You need facts. You need safety. And if you’re dealing with chronic pain from years of agricultural work, sleep that won’t come, anxiety that won’t quit, or the weight of a cancer diagnosis, you need options that actually make sense for your life.

This guide is for you. Not for search engines. Not for corporate investors. For the people of Glades County who deserve to know exactly what they’re putting in their bodies, why it matters, and how to get it without jumping through hoops.

Who Was Rick Simpson — And Why His Story Still Matters Here in Glades County

Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor. He wasn’t a scientist. He was a working-class man from Nova Scotia — a power engineer who got hurt on the job in 1997, just like too many folks in Glades County have gotten hurt working the groves or the fishing boats. When the medical system failed him, when prescriptions made things worse, he turned to cannabis. What he created — a thick, dark oil made with petroleum solvents like naphtha — became known as Rick Simpson Oil.

The story that spread from Simpson’s kitchen changed the world. His 2005 documentary Run From The Cure introduced millions to the idea that concentrated cannabis oil could help with cancer, pain, and more. But here’s what most folks in Glades County never hear: Simpson’s oil was never standardized, never tested, and never proven in clinical trials. He gave it away for free to cancer patients, and while his compassion was real, his cure claims went far beyond what the evidence could support.

Important context: Simpson’s account is personal testimony, not medical proof. No independent doctor verified his skin cancer story. No biopsy confirmed it. The 1974 Virginia study he referenced? It showed THC could slow tumors in mice, but those findings never translated to human cancer cures. The National Cancer Institute acknowledges cannabinoid research but doesn’t endorse cannabis as a cancer treatment. The FDA hasn’t approved any cannabis plant product for cancer. Health Canada never approved RSO for cancer either.

So why tell you this? Because honesty is the foundation of everything we do. We respect what Simpson started — he put cannabinoids on the map when nobody else would talk about them. But we also know that Glades County residents deserve better than crude oil made with toxic solvents and untested potency. You deserve precision. You deserve safety. You deserve to know exactly what’s in your medicine.

That’s why our formulas diverge from traditional RSO in five deliberate ways that matter for life in Glades County:

• Multi-cannabinoid approach instead of THC-only
• Terpene preservation instead of burning them off
• THCa as a separate ingredient so you control the potency
• Reduced delta-9 dominance for less impairment risk
• Two product formats for different needs

The OilWell Story: From a Paralyzed Dog to Medicine That Works

Our company didn’t start in a boardroom. It started with Bentley.

Bentley was Colin Valencia’s dog — family, not just a pet. When veterinarians said Bentley was paralyzed and euthanasia was the only option, Colin refused. A rescue worker named Jessica asked him a question that changed everything: “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and you’ve never heard of CBD?”

That question led Colin to create a CBD golden paste formula. Bentley got up. He walked. He brought his ball to play. From paralyzed to playing fetch — dogs don’t respond to placebo. That was ten years ago. Bentley lived to age twenty, and every formula Colin developed during those years — for neurodegeneration, dementia, glaucoma, arthritis — became the foundation of what we offer you today.

Colin also knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. Growing up in McAllen, Texas, across from the violence of Reynosa, he saw friends killed and imprisoned. He struggled with PTSD and Xanax addiction. When he quit benzos cold turkey — one of the hardest things anyone can do — he used the same cannabinoid knowledge that saved Bentley. The Peace Gummies formula that helps so many people now was born from those midnight experiments during withdrawal.

OilWell Cannabis has been operating from Houston’s Montrose neighborhood since 2019. We’re Texas DSHS licensed. We maintain a near-5.0 Google rating. We generate about a million dollars annually — not by hype, but by making products that work and telling the truth about them.

Why Glades County Residents Choose OilWell RSO

1. No Medical Card Required — Real Accessibility

In Glades County, getting a medical marijuana card means driving to a doctor in Fort Myers or West Palm Beach — a three-hour round trip that costs time and money many folks don’t have. Our RSO is Farm Bill compliant. You only need to be 21. That’s it. No qualifying conditions. No state registry. No waiting periods.

We ship directly to your door in Glades County — whether you’re in Palmdale, Muse, or out on the Lakeport Road. Our discreet packaging has no cannabis branding. Your mail carrier and your neighbors won’t know what’s inside.

2. Patient-Controlled Potency — You Decide What Works for Your Life

Glades County life is different. You might be up at dawn checking cattle, running a fishing guide service, or tending citrus groves. You can’t be impaired during the day. But at night, when the pain keeps you from sleeping, you need serious relief.

Our sublingual oil contains 1,500mg of THCa in its raw, non-psychoactive form. Use it straight from the bottle during the day for anti-inflammatory benefits without any high. When you’re home for the night and need stronger relief, decarboxylate it in your oven at 260°F for 45-60 minutes. That converts the THCa to approximately 1,315mg of delta-9 THC — giving you the potency of traditional illegal RSO, but completely legally because you control the activation.

Three ways Glades County residents use our RSO:

• Daytime functional use (raw): 0.3-0.5mL under the tongue. No impairment. Anti-inflammatory support from CBD, CBG, and THCa.
• Nighttime therapeutic use (decarbed): 0.5-1.0mL before bed. Full-spectrum relief with CBN for sleep support.
• Acute breakthrough relief: Our vape cartridge delivers effects in 1-2 minutes for when pain or anxiety spikes suddenly.

3. Open-Source Formulas — For the DIY Spirit of Glades County

We know the people of Glades County are self-reliant. You fix your own equipment. You grow your own food. And if you’re struggling financially — maybe on a fixed income, maybe dealing with medical bills — you shouldn’t have to choose between your health and your budget.

That’s why we publish our complete formulas. Every milligram. Every percentage. Right here in this guide.

If you can’t afford $129.99 for our sublingual oil, you can source the individual cannabinoid distillates and make it yourself using our exact recipe. That’s not bad for business — that’s honoring the promise we made when Bentley got up and walked. Medicine should be accessible. The recipe that saved him is still published on our website for free.

4. Evidence-Informed, Not Evidence-Overstated

Every cannabinoid in our formula has a specific reason for being there, backed by research we don’t hide:

• CBD (4,500mg): Strongest human evidence for seizure disorders, promising for anxiety and pain management
• Delta-8 THC (6,000mg): Similar pharmacology to delta-9 but less potent — provides therapeutic effects with reduced anxiety risk
• CBG (3,000mg): Preclinical evidence for neuroprotection and anti-inflammatory effects — we included it because Bentley’s neurodegeneration taught us its value
• THCa (1,500mg): Non-psychoactive anti-inflammatory potential — your daytime option
• CBN (750mg): At 25-50mg per dose, this matches the levels studied in sleep research
• CBC (750mg): Emerging evidence for neurogenesis and pain modulation
• Delta-9 THC (90mg): Just enough to maintain Farm Bill compliance while letting you activate the rest at home

We don’t claim our RSO cures cancer. We don’t claim it replaces your doctor. We give you the science and let you decide.

Why Media Recognition Matters for Your Trust

Between 2019 and 2023, ABC13 Houston — the number-one news source in America’s fourth-largest city — featured OilWell Cannabis in seven major segments. Five different reporters came to us because when Houston needed to understand cannabis, they trusted Colin’s voice.

What they covered:

• The CBD business boom (2019)
• National decriminalization efforts (2021)
• Delta-8 THC investigation (2021)
• COVID-19 vaccine community giveaway (2021)
• The overnight Delta-8 ban crisis (2021)
• Biden’s marijuana pardons and Colin’s personal conviction history (2022)
• Texas cannabis industry evolution (2023)

These weren’t paid ads. They were editorial decisions by journalists who needed credible expertise. When Texas banned Delta-8 overnight, ABC13 came to our dispensary and found we had already removed all products — proactively protecting our customers while warning other operators who were unknowingly shipping Schedule I narcotics.

When President Biden announced pardons, ABC13 came to us because Colin could speak from personal experience about how a marijuana conviction follows you through housing, loans, and banking.

The quote that defines us: “I’m not trying to sell people snake oil. I’m not trying to sell people hope, but there’s enough research out there that people just need to know and try and have the best possible version to base their opinions off of to give it a fair shot as to whether it’s right or wrong for them.”

That was 2019. We still operate by those words today.

Safety, Legality, and Your Responsibility in Glades County

Age requirement: 21+ for all RSO products

Farm Bill compliance: Our products contain less than 0.3% delta-9 THC, making them legal under federal law and shippable to Glades County.

THCa conversion warning: When you heat our oil, THCa converts to delta-9 THC. This is intentional — it gives you control. But it also means you are responsible for understanding Florida law regarding total THC content. Florida’s hemp program generally follows the Farm Bill, but local ordinances can vary. We provide full documentation, but you accept responsibility for compliance.

Drug testing: If you use the raw form (no heat), THCa will not cause a positive test. If you decarb it or use the vape, you will test positive for THC. Be honest with your employer. Many Glades County workplaces still have zero-tolerance policies.

Side effects: May cause drowsiness. Do not operate vehicles or machinery after activating the THC. If pregnant or nursing, consult your physician. Keep out of reach of children.

Interactions: If you’re taking medications (especially blood thinners, seizure meds, or anxiety prescriptions), talk to your doctor first. We provide the education; your healthcare provider provides the medical guidance.

FDA disclaimer: Not evaluated by the FDA. Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
