Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Marion County, Kentucky: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis
If you’re reading this in Marion County, you’re probably looking for answers that the usual channels haven’t given you. Maybe you’re in Lebanon, Campbellsville, or Bradfordsville, dealing with chronic pain that prescription meds barely touch. Maybe you’re a veteran near the Kentucky National Guard training areas, carrying PTSD that the VA system’s standard treatments haven’t resolved. Maybe you’re a cancer patient at Spring View Hospital or traveling to Louisville for treatment, searching for something—anything—that might help with nausea, appetite, or sleep. Or maybe you’re just a farmer in Marion County’s limestone-rich soil, wondering if the hemp that once grew here might hold more than historical value.
Whatever brought you here, we get it. At OilWell Cannabis, we didn’t start as a corporate cannabis brand. We started the same way many of you discovered RSO—through desperation, trial and error, and a refusal to give up on someone we loved. This guide is our attempt to give Marion County the most honest, science-grounded, and locally relevant RSO education available. We’ll tell you exactly what traditional RSO was, what our modern formulas are, what the evidence actually shows, and—most importantly—how you can safely access this in Marion County without jumping through medical-card hoops or driving to Louisville.
Who Was Rick Simpson, and What Is Traditional RSO?
Rick Simpson was born in 1949 in Amherst, Nova Scotia, Canada—not a doctor, not a scientist, but a power engineer and maintenance worker who became the accidental father of concentrated cannabis oil. His story matters to Marion County because it’s the story of countless Kentuckians who’ve been failed by conventional medicine. In 1997, while working at a hospital in Moncton, Simpson fell from scaffolding and suffered a serious head injury. The aftermath—persistent tinnitus, dizziness, post-concussion symptoms—never resolved with the prescriptions his doctors gave him. When cannabis provided more relief than pharmaceuticals, he asked his physician to support it. The answer was no.
Sound familiar? In Marion County, where the nearest pain specialist might be an hour’s drive and where primary care doctors often hesitate to discuss cannabis, this experience resonates. Simpson’s desperation led him to a 1974 NIH-funded study at the Medical College of Virginia, where THC was reported to slow tumors in mice. That study—never replicated in controlled human trials—became his inspiration.
The pivotal moment came in 2003. Simpson claimed three bumps on his arm, diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma, disappeared after four days of applying concentrated cannabis oil. No biopsy confirmation, no independent medical verification, no peer-reviewed documentation—just a personal testimony that became the origin myth of Rick Simpson Oil. Important context: This is personal testimony, not medical evidence. But it’s historically significant because it launched a global movement.
The Traditional RSO Protocol: What Marion County Needs to Know
Simpson’s 60-gram, 90-day regimen is what most people associate with RSO. He designed it around crude, single-strain, high-THC extract. Here’s the breakdown:
Goal: Consume 60 grams (≈60 mL) of concentrated cannabis oil over ~90 days.
Titration Schedule:
- Week 1: Half a grain of rice-sized dose (10-15 mg) three times daily
- Weeks 2-5: Double the dose every four days, aiming for 1 gram (1,000 mg) per day by week 5
- Weeks 5-12: Maintain 1 gram per day (333 mg per dose, three times daily) until all 60 grams are consumed
Administration Methods:
- Oral: Primary method—sublingual or swallowed
- Topical: For skin lesions, applied with bandages
- Inhalation: Not recommended as primary treatment (though Simpson acknowledged it for symptom relief)
Tolerance: Simpson claimed patients develop tolerance to psychoactive effects in 3-4 weeks, recommending nighttime dosing initially and warning against driving.
Post-Protocol Maintenance: 1-2 grams per month indefinitely.
Important context for evaluating this protocol:
- No controlled trial validation—not a single randomized study
- Crude, unstandardized material—every batch different
- Very high THC exposure—600-900 mg delta-9 THC daily at peak dosing, far beyond anything studied clinically
- Real risks—severe intoxication, anxiety, tachycardia, cannabis use disorder, especially dangerous for medically complex cancer patients
- Oncology context: Using unregulated oil instead of proven treatments can cause irreversible harm
What Traditional RSO Actually Was
Source Material: Single high-THC indica strain, no standardization. If you bought “RSO” in Kentucky before legalization, you got whatever the maker grew.
Extraction Solvent: Naphtha (petroleum-based lighter fluid) or 99% isopropyl alcohol. Neither is food-grade. Naphtha may contain benzene, toluene, and other carcinogens. In Marion County, where many still attempt DIY extractions, this is critical—the residue risk is real and invisible without lab testing.
Process: Bucket, solvent, agitate, filter, rice-cooker evaporation at high heat. The heat decarboxylates all THCa into THC and destroys terpenes.
Appearance: Nearly black, thick, tar-like oil with possible solvent-residual smell.
Cannabinoid Profile: 60-90% delta-9 THC, uncontrolled, unmeasured, never lab-verified.
Terpene Content: Minimal to none—destroyed by heat and solvent.
Standardization: Zero. Every batch different.
Residual Solvent Risk: Significant. Traditional RSO production in Kentucky’s unregulated market carries real contamination dangers.
Traditional RSO vs. Modern Formulated RSO: Why This Matters in Marion County
| Dimension | Traditional RSO | OilWell Formulated RSO |
|---|---|---|
| Source Material | Single high-THC indica strain | Multi-cannabinoid blend from multiple sources |
| Extraction | Naphtha or isopropyl alcohol | Solvent-free formulation |
| Cannabinoids | THC-dominant, uncontrolled | 7 defined cannabinoids at specific ratios |
| Terpenes | Destroyed | Live terpenes at 5% with 7-terpene profile |
| Standardization | None | Lab-tested, 553 mg/mL total cannabinoids |
| Testing | Not available | Full panel: potency, pesticides, heavy metals, solvents, microbes |
| Residues | High risk with naphtha | Controlled and tested |
| Dosing Precision | Approximate syringe | Measured per mL, graduated dropper |
| Formats | Single thick oil only | Sublingual oil + vape cartridge |
| THCa Preservation | No—fully decarboxylated | Yes—1,500 mg THCa as separate ingredient |
| Evidence Approach | Anecdotal, personal testimony | Research-backed, evidence-weighted |
Why OilWell’s Formulas Diverge from Traditional RSO
We made these changes deliberately, informed by what the evidence actually shows—not what we wish it showed:
-
Multi-Cannabinoid Approach: Simpson relied on whatever single strain he could get. We include seven cannabinoids because the entourage-effect literature [20][29] suggests potential benefit from diversity, even though clinical proof remains limited.
-
Terpene Preservation: Traditional RSO stripped terpenes entirely. We include live terpenes at 5% because preclinical work shows plausible bioactivity, even if human confirmation is still developing [20].
-
THCa as a Separate Ingredient: Traditional RSO destroyed THCa. We preserve 1,500 mg because the THCa literature suggests non-psychoactive anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective potential that’s lost upon heating [12].
-
Reduced Delta-9 THC Dominance: Simpson’s oil was 60-90% delta-9 THC. Our sublingual formula uses only 90 mg total delta-9 THC—dramatically lower exposure, reducing impairment risk while maintaining therapeutic potential via other cannabinoids.
-
Product Format Innovation: Simpson had one crude format. We offer sublingual oil (sustained relief) and vape cartridge (fast relief), each with format-specific formulation.
The Decarboxylation Choice: Patient-Controlled Potency
This is where modern RSO becomes revolutionary. Traditional RSO gave you no choice—it was always psychoactive. Our sublingual formula contains 1,500 mg THCa in its acidic, non-psychoactive form. You decide:
Option 1 (Raw, No Heat): All THCa stays inactive. You get anti-inflammatory potential via COX-2 inhibition and neuroprotective PPARγ agonism [12] with zero impairment. Perfect for Marion County residents who work at local factories, drive farm equipment, or need daytime relief without being “high.”
Option 2 (Fully Activated, Home Decarboxylation): Heat the oil at 260°F for 45-60 minutes. This converts 1,500 mg THCa to ~1,315 mg delta-9 THC. Combined with the existing 90 mg delta-9 THC and 6,000 mg delta-8 THC, you achieve psychoactive potency comparable to traditional illegal RSO—100% legally, because activation happens after purchase under your control.
Option 3 (Partial Activation): Transfer a small portion to an oven-safe container, decarb only what you need, preserve the rest raw. This gives you both daytime and nighttime options from one bottle.
Option 4 (Vape, Instant Activation): Our vape cartridge vaporizes at 400-450°F, instantly converting THCa to delta-9 THC with each puff. This is the fastest RSO delivery method available—1-2 minute onset for breakthrough pain or panic.
The conversion math: 1 mg THCa = 0.877 mg delta-9 THC after decarboxylation. You control the potency, not us.
OilWell Cannabis: Our Story, Your Kentucky Connection
OilWell Cannabis was founded by Colin Valencia in Houston, Texas. But the story that built our formulas started in McAllen, Texas—one of the most economically challenged and dangerous border regions, where violence, cartel activity, and limited opportunities shaped everything. Colin grew up transporting items across the border, saw best friends killed or imprisoned, and left home at sixteen. He faced every form of violence imaginable—experiences that echo the hardship many Marion County families know from economic downturns, the opioid crisis, and watching loved ones fall through cracks in the system.
Despite those dangers, Colin chose cannabis over harder paths. He learned the plant intimately in the pre-legalization world, then transitioned to legitimate business. He became a formally trained software engineer, doing custom development for Baylor College of Medicine—combining deep plant knowledge with medical-grade precision.
But the real origin? A dog named Bentley.
Bentley’s Story: The Foundation of Everything
Bentley was more than a pet—he was family. When veterinarians said euthanasia was the only humane option for his paralysis, Colin refused. Bentley was paralyzed in his back legs, pain medications would destroy his organs, and the prognosis was hopeless.
Then Jessica, a rescue worker, asked: “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and you’ve never heard of CBD?”
That question changed everything. Colin created CBD golden paste—a specialized cannabinoid formula for pets. Bentley got up. He walked over and brought his ball. From paralyzed to playing. Dogs don’t respond to placebo. This was cannabinoid medicine succeeding where pharmaceuticals failed.
Bentley lived ten more years, dying naturally at age twenty. During those years, Colin developed formulas for every age-related condition:
- Neurodegeneration → CBG’s neuroprotective properties and THCa’s PPARγ agonism for brain cell protection
- Dementia → CBC’s role in neurogenesis
- Glaucoma → THC’s CB1 agonism for intraocular pressure
- Arthritis → Multi-pathway anti-inflammatory approaches using CBD, CBG, THCa, and beta-caryophyllene
Single cannabinoids weren’t enough. Bentley’s evolving conditions required multi-cannabinoid synergy. That necessity—keeping a loved one alive—drove the precision that became our RSO formula.
Colin’s Personal Journey: PTSD, Benzos, and Breaking Free
Colin also knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He struggled with PTSD and Xanax addiction. Using the cannabinoid knowledge from Bentley, he quit Xanax cold turkey—a notoriously dangerous feat. Our Peace Gummies formula was created during midnight experiments fighting benzo withdrawal. Colin personally uses the vape form for insomnia and severe PTSD.
This isn’t theoretical. Colin lived what RSO patients live: desperation when pharmaceuticals fail, discovery that cannabinoids work when pills don’t, and the need for precise, reliable formulas.
ABC13 Media Recognition: Seven Features, Four Years, One Voice
Between 2019 and 2023, ABC13 Houston featured Colin and OilWell in seven news segments. Five different reporters sought him out for business, law, medicine, community health, and politics. No other Houston cannabis operator has that record.
September 2019 – CBD Business Boom: Colin’s foundational quote—“I’m not trying to sell people snake oil… there’s enough research out there that people just need to know and try and have the best possible version”—set our philosophy.
May 2021 – Delta-8 Investigation: When asked why someone would want Delta-8, Colin answered bluntly: “Maybe you want to get high.” Radical honesty on mainstream TV.
August 2021 – COVID Vaccine Giveaway: OilWell gave away 1,000 caviar pre-rolls (~$35,000 in product) to encourage vaccination, coordinating with the city of Houston—no political strings attached.
October 2021 – Delta-8 Ban: When Texas suddenly classified Delta-8 as Schedule I, Colin proactively removed all products and warned other operators they were shipping narcotics. He absorbed the revenue loss to act ethically.
October 2022 – Biden Pardon Feature: Colin revealed his personal marijuana conviction history. “I would love to see people not get hurt for this anymore.”
April 2023 – 4/20 Special: Colin framed the present as a “Renaissance”—a time of opportunity and creativity in cannabis.
This media record is independently verified credibility, not marketing. It’s the kind of recognition you earn, not buy.
OilWell RSO Philosophy: Four Core Principles
-
Accessibility Over Gatekeeping: No medical card required. Anyone 21+ can purchase. We ship nationwide and internationally. Rick Simpson believed medicine should be accessible; we built a legal model that makes it so for Marion County.
-
Patient-Controlled Potency: THCa is non-psychoactive until you heat it. You decide—raw for daytime function, decarbed for full potency, vape for instant relief. Simpson believed patients should control their medicine; we engineered that control into the product.
-
Open-Source Formulas: We publish every milligram. If you can’t afford $129.99 for our sublingual oil, you can source ingredients and make your own. Simpson gave oil away free; we give you the recipe.
-
Evidence-Informed, Not Evidence-Overstating: This entire document reflects our commitment to honest science—distinguishing what’s proven, what’s emerging, and what’s overstated. Simpson operated without peer-reviewed data; we use it to keep ourselves honest.
Farm Bill Compliance and the THCa Legal Framework
The 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp-derived products with less than 0.3% delta-9 THC. This is the foundation of our product’s legality in Kentucky and Marion County.
Our sublingual oil contains only 90 mg delta-9 THC in the entire 30 mL bottle—3 mg/mL—well under the 0.3% threshold. All cannabinoids are hemp-derived. The product is legal federally and in Kentucky.
THCa is the game-changer. It’s the acidic, non-psychoactive precursor to THC. At point of sale, it’s Farm Bill compliant. You can legally purchase, possess, and transport it. The conversion to THC happens at home under your control through decarboxylation.
Important Legal Notice for Marion County: THCa converts to delta-9 THC when heated. Kentucky law follows the Farm Bill standard. You are responsible for understanding local regulations. We ship with full documentation, COAs, and receipts. The product is void where prohibited.

General Knowledge: The Science Behind the Formula
Evidence Hierarchy
We prioritize sources in this order:
- Human clinical evidence
- Systematic reviews and meta-analyses
- NIH/institutional summaries
- Preclinical/mechanistic literature
The evidence base is uneven. CBD and delta-9 THC have the strongest human data; delta-8, THCa, CBG, CBN, CBC, and terpenes rely more on preclinical work [1]-[29].
What NIH Says About Cannabis
- Strongest evidence: Rare epilepsies (CBD), chemo nausea/vomiting, HIV/AIDS appetite [1]
- Modest evidence: Chronic pain, MS spasticity [1]
- FDA approvals: Only Epidiolex (CBD), dronabinol/nabilone (synthetic THC) [1]
- Safety concerns: Impairment, cannabis use disorder, pregnancy risks, contamination, labeling inaccuracy, vape lung injury [1]
Cannabinoid Profiles (Evidence Summary)
CBD: Strongest human evidence in this formula. Purified CBD has clear seizure data [2]. Anxiety meta-analyses show signal but limited samples [3]. Pain reviews are promising but heterogeneous [4]. Sleep reviews are methodologically weak [5]. Liver enzyme elevation possible, especially with polypharmacy [6].
CBG: Mostly preclinical [7][8]. Pharmacologically interesting (CB receptors, alpha-2 adrenoceptors, 5-HT1A) but human evidence sparse. Commercially sold ahead of science [7]. Promising but not proven.
Delta-8 THC: Pharmacologically relevant, psychoactive, less potent than delta-9 [9]. Similar PK/PD behavior [9]. Public health review shows adverse consequences and quality concerns [10]. Manufacturing advantage drives commercial interest [11]. Treat as real THC analogue with incomplete safety data [9]-[11].
THCa: Acidic precursor, non-psychoactive unless heated [12]. In vitro/rodent work suggests anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, antineoplastic possibilities [12]. Interpretation depends on route, temperature, processing, storage [12].
Delta-9 THC: Strongest human evidence among psychoactive cannabinoids [1][13]. Effective for chemo nausea, HIV appetite, some pain/MS symptoms [1]. High-concentration products linked to psychosis, CUD, anxiety, depression [15]. Impairment, tachycardia, dependency risks well-documented [1][14][15].
CBN: Reputation as sleep aid far ahead of evidence [16][17]. 2021 review found zero clinical trials with validated sleep measures [16]. 2024 sleep review confirms methodological weaknesses [17]. Clearest example of marketing outpacing science.
CBC: Emerging, preclinical [18][19]. Distinct pharmacology from CBD/THC [18]. Antinociceptive, antibacterial, anti-seizure signals in animals [18][19]. Commercially sold despite minimal clinical data [18].
Terpene Profiles (Evidence Summary)
Limonene: Multifunctional monoterpene with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory signals—mostly preclinical [21]. Oxidation products are contact allergens [22].
Myrcene: Anxiolytic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory claims based on limited human data [23]. “Sedative” reputation exceeds evidence.
Caryophyllene: Selective CB2 agonist—most mechanistically interesting terpene [24]. Anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, gastroprotective signals [24].
Pinene: Brain-health preclinical interest [25]. Memory/attention claims are hypotheses, not facts.
Linalool: Stress/mood preclinical work [25][26]. Oxidized hydroperoxides are allergens [22].
Humulene: Anti-inflammatory cannabinimimetic signals via CB1/A2a in rodents [27]. Early stage.
Terpinolene: Least clinically characterized [20][28]. Dominated by in silico/in vitro/animal studies.
Research Limits
- Evidence is highly uneven across compounds [1]-[29]
- Extract/molecule/synthetic/terpene data aren’t interchangeable
- Minor cannabinoids are commercially interesting because they’re underexplored—claims often outrun science
- Product quality (contamination, accuracy, synthesis byproducts) matters as much as molecule identity [1][10][11][14]
- THCa chemistry changes with storage/heating—your actual exposure can shift [12]
Common Overstatements to Avoid
- CBN is a proven sleep aid → More accurate: Evidence is weak, no validated trials [16][17]
- Myrcene reliably causes sedation → More accurate: Preclinical signals, limited human proof [23]
- Terpenes have proven entourage effects → More accurate: Hypotheses remain clinically unproven [20][29]
- THCa is always non-psychoactive → More accurate: Converts to THC with heat [12]
- Delta-8 is safe because hemp-derived → More accurate: Real THC analogue with incomplete safety data [9]-[11]

Conclusion: A Message to Marion County
We know Marion County because we come from places like it—communities where hardship is real, where healthcare can feel distant, and where people deserve honest answers. Whether you’re in Lebanon, Campbellsville, or the rolling farmland between, you face the same challenges that brought us to cannabis: pain that won’t quit, treatments that fail, and a system that often ignores alternatives.
Our RSO formulas aren’t magic. They won’t cure cancer. They won’t fix everything. But they are the most transparent, evidence-grounded, and carefully formulated multi-cannabinoid products available to Marion County residents without a medical card. We’re not here to sell you snake oil. We’re here to give you the best possible version so you can decide if it’s right or wrong for you.
That’s the promise we made in 2019 on ABC13. It’s the promise we kept when we gave away $35,000 in product to help Houston get vaccinated. It’s the promise we kept when we warned competitors about the Delta-8 ban. And it’s the promise we make to you, Marion County: real formulas, real science, real access.
