Kenton County’s Complete Guide to Rick Simpson Oil (RSO): OilWell Cannabis’s Evidence-Based Formulas

Your neighbors in Covington, Independence, and throughout Northern Kentucky are asking about RSO. We’ve got answers—honest ones, backed by science, not hype.

Living in Kenton County means you know the value of straight talk. Between the rolling hills along the Licking River and the bustling communities of Fort Mitchell and Erlanger, we’ve built lives on looking out for each other. When it comes to health—whether you’re dealing with the chronic pain that comes from decades of work at local manufacturing plants, the anxiety that keeps too many of our veterans awake at night, or the side effects of chemotherapy treatment at St. Elizabeth Healthcare—you deserve options that are real, legal, and transparent.

That’s why we’re reaching out to Kenton County directly. We know you’re searching. We know you’re skeptical. And we know you’ve been let down by promises that sound too good to be true—because they are.

We’re OilWell Cannabis. We’re not from Kenton County. We’re from Houston, Texas—specifically the Montrose neighborhood, where we’ve been operating since 2019 out of our dispensary at 810 Richmond Avenue. But our story isn’t about geography. It’s about what happens when someone who’s been through the fire—when the medical system fails, when pharmaceutical dependence takes hold, when a beloved companion is told there’s no hope—refuses to accept easy answers and instead builds something real.

Our RSO formulas aren’t traditional Rick Simpson Oil. They’re something better: multi-cannabinoid, terpene-rich, lab-tested, and completely legal under Kentucky and federal law. And we’re publishing every ingredient, every milligram, and every piece of evidence so you can decide for yourself.

What Kenton County Needs to Know About Rick Simpson Oil

Who Was Rick Simpson?

Rick Simpson was born in 1949 in Amherst, Nova Scotia, Canada. He wasn’t a doctor, scientist, or medical researcher—he was a power engineer and maintenance worker, a blue-collar tradesman who knew what it meant to work with his hands. In 1997, while working at a hospital in Moncton, New Brunswick, he fell from scaffolding and suffered a serious head injury. The aftermath left him with persistent tinnitus, dizziness, and post-concussion symptoms that the conventional medical system couldn’t resolve. The medications he was prescribed either didn’t help or made things worse. When he asked his physician about cannabis, the request was refused.

Simpson’s interest deepened after learning about a 1974 NIH-funded study at the Medical College of Virginia, where researchers reported that THC slowed or shrank tumors in mice. That study—originally intended to demonstrate harm—became a cornerstone of his advocacy, even though its findings were never replicated in controlled human cancer trials.

The pivotal moment came in 2003. Three bumps on his arm were diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma. Rather than pursuing conventional treatment, Simpson applied concentrated cannabis oil directly to the lesions, covered them with bandages, and waited. According to his account, the bumps disappeared within four days. No biopsy confirmation, no independent medical verification, no published clinical follow-up. But this personal experience became the origin story of Rick Simpson Oil.

Important context for Kenton County readers: We’re sharing Simpson’s story not as medical evidence, but as historically significant testimony. The absence of clinical documentation means these events cannot be evaluated as medical proof. Yet this story catalyzed a global movement—and it’s why you’re likely reading this now, perhaps after hearing about RSO through a friend in Covington’s Devou Park or a neighbor in Ryland Heights who’s facing a tough diagnosis.

The Traditional RSO Protocol: What It Was and Why It Matters to Kenton County

Simpson’s core recommendation was a 60-gram, 90-day oral protocol. For Kenton County residents considering this approach—maybe you’re a cancer patient at St. Elizabeth, maybe you’re supporting a loved one through treatment—here’s exactly what it entailed:

The Goal: Consume 60 grams of concentrated cannabis oil over approximately 90 days. Simpson considered this the minimum for a serious cancer treatment course.

The Titration Schedule:

• Week 1: Dose the size of half a grain of rice (10-15 mg) three times daily. Total: 30-45 mg per day.
• Weeks 2-5: Double the dose every four days, building tolerance gradually.
• Weeks 5-12: Reach and maintain approximately 1 gram (1,000 mg) per day, divided into three doses of 333 mg each.

Administration Methods: Simpson recommended sublingual/oral as primary, topical for skin lesions, and acknowledged inhalation for symptom relief but not as primary treatment.

Critical Context for Kenton County:

This protocol was designed around crude, unstandardized material. There are no published randomized controlled trials evaluating this specific 60-gram/90-day protocol for any cancer type. At peak dosing, patients consumed roughly 600-900 mg of delta-9 THC daily—a dose far exceeding anything studied in controlled clinical settings. For perspective, the FDA-approved synthetic THC drug dronabinol is typically dosed at 2.5 to 20 mg per day.

The risks at these doses are real: severe intoxication, impairment, anxiety, panic, tachycardia, hypotension, and cannabis use disorder. For patients at St. Elizabeth Healthcare—or any Kenton County medical facility—using unregulated, unstandardized cannabis oil as a primary cancer treatment introduces harm that extends beyond the oil itself.

What Traditional RSO Actually Was: The Product

Source Material: High-THC indica strains, no standardization. Every batch varied based on plant genetics and growing conditions.

Extraction Solvent: Naphtha (a petroleum-based solvent) or 99% isopropyl alcohol—neither food-grade. Naphtha may contain benzene, toluene, and other carcinogenic compounds.

Extraction Process: Bucket, solvent wash, filter, rice cooker evaporation, transfer to syringes. The heat fully decarboxylated all THCa into psychoactive delta-9 THC.

Appearance: Nearly black, thick, tar-like oil with potential solvent-residual smell.

Cannabinoid Profile: THC-dominant (60-90% estimated), with minor cannabinoids at natural but uncontrolled ratios. No lab verification.

Terpene Content: Effectively none. Solvent extraction and high-heat evaporation destroyed the volatile terpenes.

Standardization and Testing: None. No Certificate of Analysis (COA), no contaminant screening.

Residual Solvent Risk: Potentially harmful residues from non-food-grade solvents, difficult to verify without lab equipment.

Simpson’s Claims vs. The Evidence: What Kenton County Residents Need to Know

Rick Simpson claimed RSO could cure cancer and many other diseases. He had no formal medical training, conducted no clinical trials, and published no peer-reviewed research. His evidence was personal testimony and anecdotal reports—no controls, no independent verification, no imaging confirmation.

What the Preclinical Literature Shows:

• In vitro studies show THC and CBD can induce apoptosis, inhibit proliferation, and reduce angiogenesis in certain cancer cell lines .
• Animal models show some tumor-growth inhibition .

What the Preclinical Literature Does NOT Show:

• These findings have not translated into proven human cancer cures. The gap between lab/animal results and human clinical outcomes is vast.
• No human clinical trial has demonstrated that RSO cures cancer.

Institutional Positions:

• The U.S. National Cancer Institute acknowledges cannabinoid anticancer research but does not endorse cannabis as a cancer treatment .
• The FDA has not approved any cannabis plant product for cancer treatment [1].
• Health Canada has never approved RSO or cannabis oil as a cancer cure.
• NCCIH identifies the strongest evidence for epilepsy, chemo nausea, and HIV/AIDS appetite—not cancer cure [1].

What Simpson Got Right: He drew attention to cannabinoids as serious biomedical research when the world was ignoring them. His advocacy helped create the conditions for the legal cannabis industry and research infrastructure that exists today.

What He Overstated: Encouraging patients to use RSO instead of proven cancer therapies carries genuine harm potential. Delayed or foregone treatment for treatable cancers is a documented concern.

For Kenton County families facing cancer diagnoses at St. Elizabeth, Baptist Health, or other facilities—RSO education complements medical care; it does not replace it.

OilWell Cannabis: Built From Adversity, Not a Boardroom

Our Origin Story: When a Paralyzed Dog Faced Euthanasia

OilWell Cannabis was founded by Colin Valencia in Houston, Texas. But Colin’s roots trace back to McAllen, Texas—right across the river from Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico. The McAllen-Reynosa area, known as the Borderplex, is one of the most economically challenged and dangerous regions along the U.S.-Mexico border. Growing up there meant learning to hustle in a world where violence was everyday reality. By sixteen, Colin had to leave home for good. Many of his best friends were killed or imprisoned. He faced every form of violence imaginable.

Despite this, Colin didn’t fall into the darkest paths. He chose cannabis—not as a recreational escape, but because he believed it was safer and more beneficial than alternatives. He grew up in the traditional cannabis world pre-legalization, learning the plant intimately while operating in the shadows. Over time, he transitioned from those risky early ventures to creating a legal, legitimate business in an industry he believes in.

Later, Colin became a formally trained 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—deep cannabis plant knowledge plus medical-grade technical precision—defines everything we do at OilWell.

But the real origin story begins with a dog named Bentley.

Bentley was more than a pet—he was family. When veterinarians diagnosed him with paralysis in his back legs and said euthanasia was the only humane option, Colin refused to accept it. The pain medications would destroy Bentley’s organs, they said. The choice was between painful prolonged decline and immediate mercy killing.

A rescue worker named Jessica asked Colin a question that changed everything: “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and you’ve never heard of CBD?”

Colin had cannabis experience, but it was recreational. He’d never explored therapeutic applications. Determined to save Bentley, he learned to create CBD golden paste—a specialized cannabinoid formula for pets.

The results weren’t placebo. Dogs don’t respond to placebo. Bentley got up. He walked over to Colin and brought him his ball to play. From paralyzed and facing euthanasia to fetching his ball. Bentley lived another ten years, passing naturally at age twenty.

During those ten years, Colin developed specialized cannabis formulas for every age-related condition Bentley faced:

• Neurodegeneration led him to CBG’s neuroprotective properties and THCa’s PPARγ agonism for brain cell protection.
• Dementia led him to CBC’s role in neurogenesis.
• Glaucoma led him to THC’s CB1 agonism for intraocular pressure reduction.
• Crippling arthritis led him to develop multi-pathway anti-inflammatory approaches using CBD, CBG, THCa, and beta-caryophyllene working through different receptor systems simultaneously.

Single cannabinoids weren’t enough. Bentley’s evolving conditions required multi-cannabinoid synergy. That necessity—keeping a beloved companion alive—became the foundation of the RSO formula now available to you in Kenton County.

Colin’s Personal Journey: PTSD, Benzo Addiction, and Peace Gummies

Colin also knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He struggled with PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction. When he decided to break free from Xanax, he did it cold turkey—a feat notoriously difficult and dangerous—using the cannabinoid knowledge he’d developed keeping Bentley alive.

The Peace Gummies formula that became an OilWell product was created during midnight experiments while fighting through benzo withdrawal. To ensure quick relief, OilWell also offers the Peace Gummies formula in a vape form, which Colin personally uses to manage his insomnia and severe PTSD. This isn’t theoretical knowledge. Colin lived what RSO patients live: desperation for relief, failed pharmaceuticals, the discovery that cannabinoids work when pills do not.

Our Philosophy: Four Core Principles for Kenton County

OilWell’s RSO is not traditional Rick Simpson Oil. It’s informed by Simpson’s vision but deliberately evolved to solve the problems that limited his original approach. Four principles define everything we do:

1. Accessibility Over Gatekeeping

No medical card is required. Anyone age 21 or older can purchase. We ship nationwide across the United States and internationally to customers who verify local legality.

For Kenton County residents, this is crucial. Kentucky has no comprehensive medical cannabis program. Patients in Covington, Independence, Erlanger, Edgewood, and throughout Northern Kentucky have no local dispensary access. Our Farm Bill-compliant products—containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC—are legal for you to purchase, possess, and use. You don’t need to drive to Illinois, Michigan, or Ohio. You can order from your home in Fort Wright or Villa Hills and have it delivered directly.

2. Patient-Controlled Potency

THCa is sold in its acidic, non-psychoactive form. YOU decide whether to use it raw for non-psychoactive benefits or to decarboxylate it into delta-9 THC for full psychoactive potency.

Option 1: Raw (No Heat) – All 1,500mg stays as THCa—completely non-psychoactive. Use it during the day while working, driving, or parenting without impairment.

Option 2: Fully Activated (Home Decarboxylation) – Heat the oil at 260°F (125°C) for 45-60 minutes. This converts 1,500mg THCa into approximately 1,315mg delta-9 THC. Combined with the existing 90mg delta-9 THC, you get ~1,405mg total delta-9 THC—psychoactive potency comparable to traditional illegal RSO, but created legally through chemistry you control.

Option 3: Vape (Auto-Decarboxylation) – The RSO Vape Cartridge vaporizes at 400-450°F, instantly converting THCa to delta-9 THC with each inhalation.

3. Open-Source Formulas

We publish our complete formulas publicly—every cannabinoid, every milligram, every percentage. If you can’t afford our products, you can source the individual cannabinoid distillates and make your own.

This echoes Rick Simpson’s original ethos. He gave oil away free and taught people to make it themselves. We adapted that for the modern marketplace: we sell a professionally manufactured, lab-tested product, AND we give you the recipe.

4. Evidence-Informed, Not Evidence-Overstating

This entire document is our commitment to honest education about what science actually says. We distinguish between well-supported claims, emerging research, and overstated marketing. You deserve that honesty.

Why Kentucky’s Legal Landscape Makes OilWell Essential

Kentucky law is clear: cannabis with more than 0.3% delta-9 THC remains illegal for recreational and medical use. There is no functional medical cannabis program. The 2018 Farm Bill, however, legalized hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC at the federal level.

Our product contains only 90mg delta-9 THC in the entire 30mL bottle—3mg per mL—well under the 0.3% threshold. All cannabinoids are hemp-derived. This makes it legal under Kentucky law and federal law.

Important Legal Notice for Kenton County Residents: THCa converts to delta-9 THC when heated. You are responsible for understanding and complying with local laws regarding cannabinoid products. We ship with full documentation, Certificates of Analysis (COAs), and receipts. If you choose to decarboxylate the THCa at home, you are making a legal product more potent for personal use—this is your decision, not ours, and we assume no legal responsibility for your decarboxylation choices.

Unlike some other states, Kentucky does not have specific state-level restrictions on hemp-derived cannabinoids like delta-8 THC or THCa. As of our latest review, our products can be legally shipped to and possessed in Kenton County. However, laws can change. We recommend Kenton County residents verify current local regulations.

The Science Behind Every Ingredient: Evidence for Kenton County

CBD (4,500mg in Sublingual Oil)

Strongest human evidence in our formula. The FDA has approved purified CBD (Epidiolex) for certain rare seizure disorders [2]. That’s the clearest institutional validation any cannabinoid has.

Anxiety: A 2024 systematic review covering 316 participants across eight studies found statistically significant anxiolytic effects, though researchers emphasized the need for more trials [3].

Pain: A 2024 systematic review concluded the literature is promising but heterogeneous, with trial quality limiting broad analgesic claims [4].

Sleep: A 2023 insomnia review found studies methodologically weak, with few objective sleep assessments [5].

Safety: A 2023 systematic review identified real signals for liver enzyme elevation and possible drug-induced liver injury, especially relevant for concentrated oral products and those on multiple medications [6]. NCCIH flags diarrhea, sleepiness, appetite changes, mood effects, liver abnormalities, and drug interactions [1].

For Kenton County: If you’re dealing with epilepsy, chronic pain from northern Kentucky’s industrial work history, or anxiety in a community that’s seen economic ups and downs, CBD offers the most solid evidence base. But it’s not risk-free—especially if you take other medications.

CBG (3,000mg in Sublingual Oil)

Evidence profile: Mostly review-level and preclinical; human evidence remains sparse [7][8].

Pharmacology: CBG is the biosynthetic precursor to several major cannabinoids. It interacts with cannabinoid receptors, alpha-2 adrenoceptors, and 5-HT1A signaling—mechanistically interesting but not clinically established [7].

Research areas: Reviews discuss possible relevance to neurologic disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, and antibacterial activity, but these are pharmacology-led hypotheses, not mature human conclusions [8].

Caution: A 2021 review explicitly notes CBG is being sold commercially while the evidence base remains thin—claims frequently outrun the science [7].

Bottom line for Kenton County: If you’re exploring CBG for IBD, neuroprotection, or inflammation, understand it’s promising but not proven. We include it because Bentley’s neurodegeneration required it, but we won’t overstate the evidence.

Delta-8 THC (6,000mg in Sublingual Oil)

Evidence profile: Pharmacologically relevant, psychoactive, much less clinically characterized than delta-9 THC [9]-[11].

Comparative pharmacology: A 2022 review concluded delta-8 and delta-9 THC have similar pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic behavior. Delta-8 is a partial CB1 agonist with cannabimimetic activity, but appears less potent than delta-9 THC, likely due to weaker CB1 affinity [9].

Public health: A 2023 scoping review found the evidence base dominated by animal studies, product chemistry, use reports, and public-health concerns rather than strong human trials. It noted reports of adverse consequences and emphasized regulatory and product-quality concerns [10].

Manufacturing: Commercial delta-8 interest is tied to greater stability and easier synthesis relative to naturally scarce plant levels, which raises lab-testing and byproduct questions [11].

Bottom line for Kenton County: Delta-8 THC is psychoactive, not trivial. It’s less studied than delta-9 THC and often entangled with manufacturing quality issues. We include it because it offers therapeutic potential with potentially milder psychoactivity, but we test rigorously for purity.

THCa (1,500mg in Sublingual Oil)

Evidence profile: Important chemically and formulation-wise, but low on direct human therapeutic evidence [12].

What it is: THCa is the acidic precursor to THC. It may represent a large share of THC-related content in raw plant material. It decarboxylates into THC during heating and can change over time during storage and processing [12].

Psychoactivity: THCa itself does not produce psychoactive effects associated with THC in humans, but only if it stays in acidic form and isn’t decarboxylated [12].

Research status: In vitro and rodent literature suggest anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, neuroprotective, and antineoplastic possibilities, but these are not established human outcomes [12].

For Kenton County: This is your control dial. Keep it raw for non-psychoactive daytime use in Erlanger or Edgewood. Heat it for full potency at night in your home in Independence. The chemistry is real, and the choice is yours.

Delta-9 THC (90mg in Sublingual Oil)

Evidence profile: Strongest human evidence of psychoactive cannabinoids, but also clearest adverse-effect burden [1][13]-[15].

Institutionally best supported: NCCIH identifies THC-containing medicines as relevant to chemotherapy-related nausea/vomiting, appetite/weight loss in HIV/AIDS, and some multiple sclerosis and pain outcomes [1].

Pain evidence: A 2022 systematic review found high-THC products or comparable THC:CBD ratios may provide short-term pain benefit but increased dizziness, sedation, nausea, and treatment discontinuation [13].

Pharmacokinetics: Inhaled THC: onset within seconds to minutes, peaks in 15-30 minutes, lasts a few hours. Oral THC: later onset, later peak, longer duration [14]. This matters for both benefit and overconsumption risk.

Mental health risk: A 2025 systematic review of high-concentration THC products found consistent unfavorable associations with psychosis/schizophrenia outcomes and cannabis use disorder, with concerning signals for anxiety and depression [15].

Broader safety: Anxiety/panic at high doses, tachycardia, blood pressure changes, dependency, withdrawal, pregnancy concerns, pediatric exposure, and vape-related lung injury concerns [1][14][15].

Bottom line for Kenton County: We include only 90mg delta-9 THC in the entire bottle—far below the 600-900mg/day in Simpson’s protocol. This minimizes risks while maintaining therapeutic relevance.

CBN (750mg in Sublingual Oil)

Evidence profile: Weak human evidence; marketing has moved ahead of data [12][16][17].

Sleep claim reputation: Widespread but clinical support is thin [16][17].

Best direct review: A 2021 narrative review screened 99 human-study abstracts, reviewed eight full-text articles, and found no clinical trials using validated sleep questionnaires or polysomnography that could substantiate strong sleep-promoting claims [16].

Broader sleep literature: A 2024 updated review concluded cannabinoid sleep research still doesn’t match real-world use scale, and need for better-designed, adequately powered trials remains substantial [17].

Bottom line for Kenton County: We include 750mg CBN because emerging research suggests benefit at 20-50mg doses for sleep, but we won’t claim it’s clinically proven. If you’re in Kenton County struggling with insomnia, this is an experimental component with plausible mechanism.

CBC (750mg in Sublingual Oil)

Evidence profile: Emerging, intriguing, overwhelmingly preclinical or review-based [18][19].

Pharmacology: A 2024 focused review argues CBC has distinct pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, and receptor behavior relative to better-known cannabinoids, highlighting antinociceptive, antibacterial, and anti-seizure areas as especially interesting [18].

Older literature: Review literature reports anti-inflammatory effects, reduced gut hypermobility, modest rodent analgesic activity, possible neurobiological or antiproliferative relevance, but these aren’t strong evidence for patient-facing claims [19].

Safety caveat: The 2024 CBC review explicitly notes over-the-counter CBC products are being sold despite little evidence establishing clinical efficacy or safety [18].

Bottom line for Kenton County: CBC is scientifically credible but clinically immature. We include it for its neuroprotective potential, especially relevant for aging populations in Kenton County.

The Terpene Profile: Why It Matters for Kenton County

Traditional RSO had effectively zero terpenes. We include live terpenes at 5% because the entourage-effect literature suggests potential benefit, though robust human proof remains limited [20][29].

Our Seven-Terpene Profile:

• Limonene (citrus-bright): Multifunctional monoterpene with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory properties [21]. Note: limonene oxidation products are contact allergens [22].
• Myrcene: Anxiolytic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic properties, but human studies lacking [23].
• Caryophyllene (β-caryophyllene): Selective CB2 receptor agonist—most cannabinoid-system-relevant terpene [24]. Anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, neuroprotective.
• Pinene: Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective signals justify future study, but well-designed human trials lacking [25].
• Linalool: Stress, mood, brain-health pharmacology, but limited direct clinical confirmation [25][26]. Oxidized linalool hydroperoxides are allergens [22].
• Humulene: Anti-inflammatory and other biologic effects, some rodent work suggests cannabimimetic properties via CB1 and adenosine A2a pathways [27].
• Terpinolene: Least clinically characterized—dominated by in silico, in vitro, and animal studies [28].

For Kenton County: These terpenes create a sensory experience that connects to our region’s natural environment—the pine forests of northern Kentucky, the citrus groves some remember from family trips, the peppery spice of local cuisine. Beyond aroma, these compounds offer plausible bioactivity that complements the cannabinoids.

Media Recognition: Why Kenton County Can Trust Our Credibility

Between September 2019 and April 2023, ABC13 Houston—America’s fourth-largest city’s #1 news source—featured Colin Valencia and OilWell Cannabis in seven distinct news segments. Five different reporters sought us out across four years. No other Houston cannabis operator appears with that frequency or breadth.

Our Media Record:

1. September 2019: “Texas CBD businesses booming” – Colin’s foundational quote about not selling snake oil
2. March 2021: “Entrepreneur creates direct-to-consumer business” – Helping other entrepreneurs, therapy quote
3. May 2021: “What is Delta 8 THC” – Iconic “maybe you want to get high” exchange
4. August 2021: “Houston CBD shop giving away free products for COVID vaccine” – $35,000 product giveaway, city coordination
5. October 2021: “Texas ban over Delta 8” – Proactive removal before enforcement, warning other operators
6. October 2022: “Biden marijuana pardon” – Revealing Colin’s personal cannabis conviction history
7. April 2023: “Marijuana industry getting creative” – “Renaissance” framing, hemp cultivation

Key Quote from Our First Feature:
“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.” — Colin Valencia, September 2019

This recognition is earned, not purchased. When ABC13 needed to explain Delta-8, they called Colin. When a president pardoned cannabis convictions and they needed someone who’d lived it, they called Colin. When they wanted to show a hemp field on 4/20, they filmed Colin.

• Liver enzyme elevation (especially with high CBD doses)
• Drug interactions

Drug testing: THCa in raw form will not cause positive THC tests. Delta-8 THC and decarboxylated THCa (converted to delta-9 THC) will trigger positive results. If you’re subject to workplace testing in Kenton County’s manufacturing, healthcare, or logistics sectors, use the raw form only.

Accidental ingestion: Keep all products out of reach of children. If you suspect pediatric exposure, contact Kentucky Poison Control immediately at 1-800-222-1222.

Our Promise to Kenton County

We’re not a fly-by-night internet brand. We’re a licensed Texas DSHS operation generating ~$1M annual revenue with a near-5.0 Google rating. All artwork, formulations, and packaging are created in-house in Houston. We bring Texas grit, borderland resilience, and medical-center precision to every product.

But more importantly, we bring the lessons Bentley taught us: that real medicine is built from necessity, not profit. That every ingredient must earn its place. That transparency isn’t optional—it’s the foundation of trust.

For every Kenton County resident reading this—whether you’re in Taylor Mill, Ludlow, or unincorporated areas near Visalia—you deserve the same standard of care we’d give our own families.

Final Thoughts: Why Kenton County Matters to Us

Kenton County isn’t just another pin on our PANDEM1C SEO map (though our 14 million-location database and 300+ AI models do help us reach you). Kenton County represents exactly why we built OilWell: a community of hardworking people with real health challenges, limited access to options, and a right to honest information.

From the industrial heritage of cities like Covington to the quiet neighborhoods of Park Hills and Crestview Hills, Kenton County residents have faced economic transitions, healthcare gaps, and the opioid crisis that has hit Kentucky hard. You need alternatives to ineffective pharmaceuticals. You need solutions that don’t require crossing state lines or operating in legal gray areas.

We built our RSO for you. For the cancer patient in Fort Mitchell looking for nausea relief during chemo. For the veteran in Elsmere with PTSD who can’t sleep. For the construction worker in Villa Hills whose back pain hasn’t responded to anything else. For the caregiver in Ryland Heights researching options for a loved one with dementia.

You don’t have to take our word for it. Read the evidence. Check the citations. Review our formulas. Talk to your doctor. And if you decide to try it, know that you’re getting the same product Colin uses for his own PTSD, the same formula that gave Bentley ten more years, and the same transparency that earned seven features from ABC13.

Kenton County, we’re here when you’re ready. Not with snake oil. Not with false hope. With real science, real formulas, and a real commitment to helping you make the best decision for your health.
