Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Agat, Guam: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis
Understanding RSO from Our Agat Perspective
Aga’ågu! We’ve been watching how Agat’s community—our neighbors from the village proper, our brothers and sisters in the surrounding barrios, our veterans from Naval Base Guam and Andersen Air Force Base, our elders in Sånta Rosa-Sånta Teresita—has been searching for real answers about cannabis medicine. Whether you’re dealing with the aftermath of typhoon stress on already-fragile health, navigating the long wait times at Guam Memorial Hospital for pain management, or supporting a family member through cancer treatment that often requires expensive medical travel to Hawaii or the Philippines, you deserve honest information. Not hype. Not promises. Just the truth about what Rick Simpson Oil is, what it can and cannot do, and how our formulas—born from a dog named Bentley in Houston and refined through a decade of real-world healing—might offer something valuable for Agat’s unique challenges.
Agat isn’t just a dot on Guam’s southwestern coast. It’s a place where Chamorro resilience runs deep, where the spirit of inafa’maolek—our interconnectedness and mutual obligation—means we don’t turn our backs when someone’s suffering. And that’s exactly why we’re reaching out across 7,000 miles of Pacific Ocean: because the same desperation that drove Rick Simpson to create his oil in Nova Scotia, the same determination that kept Bentley walking when vets said euthanasia was the only option, lives right here in our island community.
Who Rick Simpson Really Was (And Why His Story Still Matters in Agat)
Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor. He wasn’t a scientist. He was a power engineer from Nova Scotia—a regular working guy, like so many of our uncles who’ve worked at the ports or in construction. In 1997, he fell from scaffolding at a hospital in Moncton and suffered a serious head injury. The doctors gave him medications that either didn’t work or made his tinnitus and dizziness worse. When he asked his physician about cannabis, they refused to consider it. Sound familiar? We’ve heard the same stories at the Agat Community Center—people told to just take more pills, to wait for specialists who never call back, to accept that chronic pain is just part of life after working years in Guam’s construction trades.
Simpson’s pivotal moment came in 2003 when he claimed three bumps on his arm, diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma, disappeared after applying cannabis oil. Important context: No independent doctor verified this. No biopsy confirmed it. No peer-reviewed study documented it. This was his personal testimony, not medical evidence. But it became the catalyst for a global movement.
After that experience, Simpson committed himself to making concentrated cannabis oil in Maccan, Nova Scotia, and giving it away for free. He helped people with cancer, chronic pain, diabetes, infections, glaucoma, arthritis, depression, insomnia—conditions we see every day in Agat’s aging population and among our veterans. His 2005 documentary Run From The Cure spread his story worldwide, and within cannabis communities, it was foundational. Many people in Agat first learned about concentrated cannabis oil through that film, shared on Facebook groups or at backyard gatherings.
But Simpson’s advocacy brought him into direct conflict with Canadian law. The RCMP raided his property in 2005 and 2009. He was charged with cultivation, possession, and trafficking. Eventually, he left Canada for Europe—Croatia, then the Netherlands—continuing his advocacy from abroad. In 2012, he published Phoenix Tears: The Rick Simpson Story and maintained phoenixtears.ca as his platform .
What Simpson Claimed vs. What the Evidence Actually Shows
Simpson claimed RSO could cure cancer and many other diseases. He maintained that pharmaceutical companies, government agencies, and medical institutions were actively suppressing this knowledge. Here’s what the evidence actually shows:
What Simpson was not: He had no formal medical training, no clinical trial experience, and never published peer-reviewed research. His evidence was personal experience and testimonials—no controls, no verification, no blinding.
What preclinical literature shows: In lab studies and animal models, THC and CBD have been shown to induce apoptosis (programmed cell death), inhibit tumor proliferation, and reduce angiogenesis in certain cancer cell lines . This is scientifically interesting but not proof of human cancer cures.
What preclinical literature does NOT show: These findings have never translated into proven human cancer cures. No randomized controlled trial has demonstrated that RSO or any cannabis oil cures cancer in people. As the National Cancer Institute states, while cannabinoids have been studied for potential anticancer effects, they do not endorse cannabis as a cancer treatment . The FDA has not approved any cannabis plant product for cancer treatment [1].
What Simpson got right: He drew attention to cannabinoids as serious biomedical research when the world was ignoring it. He helped create the conditions for the legal cannabis industry that exists today—including here in Guam, where voters legalized medical marijuana in 2014 and adult-use in 2016. The term “RSO” remains the most recognized name for full-spectrum cannabis extract.
What he overstated: His cure claims exceeded the evidence. Encouraging patients to use RSO instead of proven cancer therapies carries genuine harm potential. Delayed treatment for treatable cancers is a documented concern. If you’re in Agat and facing a cancer diagnosis, please consult with Guam Cancer Care or your oncologist before making any treatment decisions. RSO can be a supportive element—not a replacement.
The Traditional RSO Protocol: Why We’re Telling You This
Simpson’s famous 60-gram, 90-day protocol is what most people think of when they hear “RSO dosing.” Here’s exactly what it entails, because understanding it helps you see why our approach is different—and safer.
The Goal: Consume 60 grams of concentrated cannabis oil over approximately 90 days.
The Titration Schedule:
- Week 1: Half a grain of rice-sized dose (10-15mg) three times daily
- Weeks 2-5: Double the dose every four days until reaching 1 gram per day
- Weeks 5-12: Maintain 1 gram per day, divided into three doses
- Post-Protocol: 1-2 grams per month maintenance
Administration Methods:
- Oral: Primary method—place under tongue or swallow
- Topical: For skin lesions, apply directly and cover with bandage
- Inhalation: Not recommended as primary treatment
Important Context for Evaluating This Protocol:
- No controlled trial validation: Zero published clinical trials support this specific protocol
- Crude, unstandardized material: Simpson’s oil potency varied wildly—60-90% THC was estimated, but never verified
- Very high THC exposure: At peak dosing, patients consumed 600-900mg of delta-9 THC daily—doses far exceeding anything studied clinically
- Real risks: Consuming 600-900mg THC daily causes severe intoxication, anxiety, panic, tachycardia, and cannabis use disorder risks [1][13][14][15]
- Oncology complexity: Cancer patients are medically complex. Using unregulated oil as primary treatment introduces harm beyond the oil itself
Why This Matters in Agat: We share this protocol not to recommend it, but because many of you have already encountered it online or heard about it from relatives in the States. We want you to understand why our formula requires a completely different approach—one built for safety, precision, and patient control.
About OilWell Cannabis: From Houston to Agat
OilWell Cannabis was founded by Colin Valencia in Houston, Texas. But Colin’s roots are in McAllen, Texas—right across the river from Reynosa, Mexico, in the Borderplex. If you think Agat has seen hardship, the Borderplex is one of the most economically challenged and dangerous regions along the entire U.S.-Mexico border. Violence, cartel activity, poverty—Colin faced it all. By sixteen, he’d left home for good. Many of his best friends have been killed or are in prison. He’s faced every form of violence imaginable. This isn’t a Silicon Valley startup story. This is a story of survival, grit, and building something meaningful from nothing.
Colin became a software engineer and did custom development work for Baylor College of Medicine—one of America’s most prestigious medical institutions. That combination of deep cannabis plant knowledge and medical-grade technical precision defines everything we do.
Bentley: The Dog Who Started Everything
Our origin story begins with a dog named Bentley. Bentley was more than a pet—he was family. When vets delivered the verdict every pet owner fears—euthanasia was the only humane option because Bentley was paralyzed in his back legs—they said pain meds would destroy his organs. Colin refused to accept it. A rescue worker named Jessica asked him: “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and you’ve never heard of CBD?” That question changed everything.
Colin created CBD golden paste for Bentley. The formula—turmeric, coconut oil, black pepper, CBD oil—saved Bentley’s life. From paralyzed to playing fetch. Bentley lived another ten years, dying naturally at age twenty. During that decade, Colin developed formulas for every age-related condition: neurodegeneration (CBG for neuroprotection, THCa for PPARγ agonism), dementia (CBC for neurogenesis), glaucoma (THC for intraocular pressure), arthritis (multi-pathway anti-inflammatory using CBD, CBG, THCa, and beta-caryophyllene).
Single cannabinoids weren’t enough. Bentley’s evolving conditions required multi-cannabinoid synergy. This is the foundation of our RSO formula—seven cannabinoids because real patients have complex needs, not simple ones.
Colin’s Personal Journey: PTSD, Benzos, and Peace Gummies
Colin knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He struggled with PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction. When he quit Xanax cold turkey—dangerous and notoriously difficult—he used the same cannabinoid knowledge that kept Bentley alive. Our Peace Gummies formula was created during midnight experiments while fighting through benzo withdrawal. Colin personally uses the vape form for insomnia and severe PTSD. This isn’t theoretical. He lives what our customers live.
ABC13: Houston’s Vote of Confidence
Between September 2019 and April 2023, ABC13 Houston featured Colin in seven news segments. No other Houston cannabis operator has that record. Five different reporters sought him out for expertise on business, law, medicine, community health, and politics. That media validation—from America’s fourth-largest city—establishes credibility that no marketing budget can buy.
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.”—Colin Valencia, ABC13, September 2019.
That philosophy—honest education over hype—guides everything we do for communities like Agat.
Our RSO Philosophy: Four Pillars for Agat
1. Accessibility Over Gatekeeping
In Agat, you don’t need a medical marijuana card. You don’t need a qualifying condition. You just need to be 21 or older. While Guam’s medical cannabis program requires physician certification and registration with the Department of Public Health and Social Services, our hemp-derived RSO is accessible under the 2018 Farm Bill framework.
What this means for Agat residents:
- No medical appointments in Tamuning or Hagåtña required
- No waiting for approval from Guam’s medical cannabis registry
- Same-day delivery isn’t available to Agat (we’re in Houston), but we ship nationwide and internationally
- If you’re in Agat, we can ship directly to your doorstep via USPS Priority Mail (2-3 business days) or FedEx/UPS Ground (3-5 days)
- All packages are discreet—no cannabis branding visible—respecting Agat’s close-knit community values
Important: Guam law allows possession of up to 1 ounce of cannabis flower and 8 grams of concentrate for adults 21+. Our products comply with federal hemp law (<0.3% delta-9 THC), which aligns with Guam’s regulations for hemp-derived products. However, you’re responsible for verifying current local law. If you decarboxylate our THCa at home, the resulting product will contain delta-9 THC levels that must comply with Guam’s possession limits.
2. Patient-Controlled Potency: Your Choice, Your Control
Traditional RSO was always psychoactive—no choice. Our formula contains 1,500mg of THCa in its raw, non-psychoactive form. You decide:
Option 1: Raw (Non-Psychoactive)
- Use the oil as-is
- THCa stays acidic, providing anti-inflammatory benefits via COX-2 inhibition and neuroprotective effects via PPARγ agonism [12]
- Zero impairment—perfect for Agat residents who work at the military bases, drive for work, or need daytime relief while caring for family
- Compatible with the Chamorro value of inafa’maolek—you can fulfill your community responsibilities without being impaired
Option 2: Fully Activated (Home Decarboxylation)
- Heat oil at 260°F (125°C) for 45-60 minutes in an oven-safe glass container
- Converts 1,500mg THCa → ~1,315mg delta-9 THC
- Combined with existing 90mg delta-9 THC = ~1,405mg total delta-9 THC
- Plus 6,000mg delta-8 THC = psychoactive potency comparable to traditional illegal RSO
- Legal because you control the activation—this is the most significant innovation in cannabis accessibility since legalization itself
Option 3: Vape (Instant Activation)
- Our RSO Vape Cartridge automatically decarboxylates at 400-450°F
- 1-2 minute onset for breakthrough symptoms
- Perfect for Agat’s typhoon season when pain flares from barometric pressure changes and you need immediate relief
Conversion Math: 1mg THCa = 0.877mg delta-9 THC after decarboxylation. This chemistry is real, not a loophole.
3. Open-Source Formulas: The Recipe Is Yours
Rick Simpson gave his oil away for free. We publish our complete formulas publicly. If $129.99 for our sublingual oil or $49.99 for our vape cartridge strains your budget—understandable in Agat where cost of living is high and shipping adds expense—you can source the ingredients and make your own.
The Bentley Recipe (Our Original Open-Source Formula):
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup organic turmeric powder
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup coconut oil (unrefined, organic)
- 1-2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper (critical for absorption)
- CBD oil (dosage depends on size/needs; consult your veterinarian)
Instructions:
- Mix turmeric and water in saucepan over low heat, stirring continuously until thick paste forms (7-10 minutes)
- Add coconut oil and black pepper, stir until thoroughly mixed
- Cool and store in refrigerator up to two weeks
- Add CBD oil before serving, mixing with pet’s food once or twice daily
This is the formula that saved Bentley. We published it years before our RSO formulas. The pattern is consistent: we’d rather you have the medicine than protect a trade secret.
Our complete RSO formulas are listed later in this guide. Every milligram, every percentage, every terpene—it’s all there.
4. Evidence-Informed, Not Evidence-Overstating
Rick Simpson operated without peer-reviewed literature. We have that access, and we use it to distinguish between:
- Well-supported: CBD for seizures, THC for chemotherapy nausea, delta-8 for appetite
- Emerging: CBG for neuroprotection, THCa for inflammation, CBC for neurogenesis
- Overstated: CBN as a proven sleep aid (evidence is weak), myrcene as a human sedative (mostly preclinical)
We will never tell you RSO cures cancer. We will tell you what the National Cancer Institute says, what the FDA says, and what the actual research shows—so you can make informed decisions alongside your care team at Guam Memorial Hospital or your oncologist in Tamuning.

Terpene Profile: The Aromas of Healing
Both products contain the same seven terpenes:
- Limonene: Citrus-bright, mood-lifting. Think of the lemons from Agat’s backyard trees, the lime in your kelaguen.
- Myrcene: Earthy, calming. The smell of damp soil after a Guam rain.
- Caryophyllene: Pepper/spice, anti-inflammatory. The black pepper in your finadene.
- Pinene: Forest-fresh, clarity. The stands of pine along Route 1.
- Linalool: Floral, lavender-like. The scent of plumeria leis.
- Humulene: Woody, earthy. The deep aroma of aging mango wood.
- Terpinolene: Piney, fruity, sparkling. A hint of island fruit salad.
These aren’t just flavors—they’re potential synergists. The entourage-effect literature [20][29] suggests terpenes may enhance cannabinoid effects, though human proof remains limited. What we know for certain: they make the experience more pleasant than the tar-like, solvent-smelling traditional RSO that Simpson made.
Evidence Deep Dive: What Science Says for Agat Patients
CBD: The Foundation (4,500mg in our formula)
Best Supported Evidence:
- Seizure disorders: Purified CBD (Epidiolex) is FDA-approved for certain rare epilepsies. This is the strongest human evidence in our formula [1][2].
- Anxiety: A 2024 systematic review of 316 participants across eight studies showed statistically significant anxiolytic effects, though authors stress the clinical sample is limited [3]. For Agat residents dealing with post-typhoon anxiety or stress from military deployments, this is promising but not proven.
- Pain: A 2024 systematic review concluded the pain literature is promising but heterogeneous—trial quality limits broad claims [4].
- Safety concerns: A 2023 meta-analysis found real signals for liver enzyme elevation and possible drug-induced liver injury, especially important for Agat residents taking multiple medications [6]. Always consult your doctor at Guam Regional Medical City or your clinic in Agat before starting.
Bottom line for Agat: CBD is the most evidence-developed non-intoxicating cannabinoid, but strong evidence is concentrated in epilepsy—not generalized wellness.
CBG: The Neuroprotector (3,000mg)
Evidence Profile: Mostly preclinical; human evidence is sparse [7][8].
What the science says: CBG is the biosynthetic precursor to other cannabinoids. It interacts with CB1, CB2, alpha-2 adrenoceptors, and 5-HT1A receptors—making it mechanistically interesting but not clinically established [7]. Reviews discuss potential relevance for neurologic disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, and antibacterial activity, but these are pharmacology-led hypotheses, not human therapeutic conclusions [7][8].
Caution: CBG is already being sold commercially while the evidence base remains thin [7].
Bottom line for Agat: CBG is a promising minor cannabinoid with limited clinical validation. Our inclusion is based on Bentley’s neurodegeneration needs and emerging pharmacology, not proven human outcomes.
Delta-8 THC: The Controversial Cousin (6,000mg)
Evidence Profile: Pharmacologically relevant, psychoactive, much less clinically characterized than delta-9 [9]-[11].
What the science says: A 2022 review concluded delta-8 and delta-9 have broadly similar pharmacokinetics. Delta-8 is a partial CB1 agonist with cannabimimetic activity, but appears less potent—likely due to weaker CB1 affinity [9]. A 2023 scoping review found the evidence base dominated by animal studies, chemistry, use reports, and public health concerns rather than strong human trials. Reports of adverse consequences exist, and regulatory/product-quality concerns are significant [10].
Public health context: The DEA added delta-8 to the controlled substances list in August 2020 on an interim basis. In Texas, it was reclassified as Schedule I in October 2021—a change OilWell proactively responded to by removing products before enforcement.
Bottom line for Agat: Delta-8 is psychoactive with incomplete safety characterization and manufacturing-quality concerns. Our formula includes it because the pharmacology suggests therapeutic potential, but we acknowledge the uncertainty. If you’re subject to drug testing (military, federal employment), delta-8 will trigger a positive result.
THCa: The Legal Innovation (1,500mg)
Evidence Profile: Important chemically, low on direct human therapeutic evidence [12].
What the science says: THCa is the acidic precursor to THC. It does not produce psychoactive effects unless decarboxylated by heat. However, storage and processing can convert THCa to THC, changing exposure [12]. In vitro and rodent studies suggest anti-inflammatory (COX-2 inhibition), immunomodulatory, neuroprotective (PPARγ agonism), and antineoplastic possibilities, but these don’t equal established human outcomes [12].
The Agat advantage: This is the molecule that makes our product legal to ship to you. Guam’s hemp laws (aligned with the 2018 Farm Bill) focus on delta-9 THC content at point of sale. Our product contains only 90mg delta-9 THC total—well under 0.3%. The 1,500mg THCa is legal until you decide to activate it.
Bottom line for Agat: THCa offers patient-controlled potency. Use it raw for daytime anti-inflammatory benefits without impairment. Decarb it for full psychoactive effects. This flexibility is revolutionary for Agat’s working families who can’t be impaired during the day.
Delta-9 THC: The Heavyweight (90mg total—3mg/mL)
Evidence Profile: Strongest human evidence among psychoactive cannabinoids, but also clearest adverse-effect burden [1][13]-[15].
What the science says: NCCIH identifies THC-containing medicines as relevant for chemotherapy nausea/vomiting, HIV/AIDS appetite/weight loss, and some MS/pain outcomes [1]. A 2022 systematic review found high-THC products may provide short-term pain benefit but increase dizziness, sedation, nausea, and treatment discontinuation [13].
Pharmacokinetics: Inhaled THC works in seconds to minutes, peaks in 15-30 minutes, lasts a few hours. Oral THC has later onset, later peak, longer duration [14]. Our sublingual oil follows oral kinetics—15-45 minute onset, 1-2 hour peak, 4-6 hour duration.
Mental health risks: A 2025 systematic review found consistent unfavorable associations between high-concentration THC and psychosis/schizophrenia outcomes, cannabis use disorder, and concerning signals for anxiety/depression [15].
Bottom line for Agat: Our formula contains only 90mg delta-9 THC total, compared to Simpson’s protocol delivering 600-900mg daily. This dramatically reduces risk while preserving therapeutic potential. If you have a history of psychosis, schizophrenia, or severe anxiety, consult your mental health provider before using activated THC.
CBN: The Sleep Question (750mg)
Evidence Profile: Weak human evidence; marketing has outpaced data [16][17].
What the science says: Marketed heavily for sleep, but a 2021 narrative review screened 99 human-study abstracts and found no clinical trials using validated sleep questionnaires or polysomnography that substantiate strong sleep-promoting claims [16]. A 2024 updated review concluded cannabinoid sleep research still doesn’t match real-world use scale [17].
Our approach: We include 750mg CBN because at 0.5mL dose, you get ~12.5mg CBN; at 1mL, ~25mg; at 2mL, ~50mg. The 2024 sleep literature investigated 20-50mg ranges, so our formula allows exploration within studied parameters—but we acknowledge the evidence is weak.
Bottom line for Agat: CBN might help sleep, but it’s not proven. If you’re in Agat struggling with insomnia from chronic pain or PTSD, start low and track your response. Don’t expect miracle results.
CBC: The Emerging Neuroprotector (750mg)
Evidence Profile: Emerging, intriguing, overwhelmingly preclinical [18][19].
What the science says: A 2024 review argues CBC has distinct pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics, highlighting antinociceptive, antibacterial, and anti-seizure areas as interesting research targets [18]. Older literature shows anti-inflammatory effects, reduced gut hypermobility, and modest rodent analgesia, but no mature human therapeutic conclusions [19].
Bottom line for Agat: CBC is scientifically credible but clinically immature. Our inclusion is forward-looking, based on neurogenesis potential for aging populations.
Terpenes: The Island Aromas
Our seven-terpene profile is identical in both products:
- Limonene: Citrus-bright, mood-lifting. Like the lemons from Agat’s yards.
- Myrcene: Earthy, calming. The smell after an island rain.
- Caryophyllene: Pepper/spice, anti-inflammatory. The black pepper in your Chamorro dishes.
- Pinene: Forest-fresh, clarity. The pines along Marine Corps Drive.
- Linalool: Floral, lavender-like. The plumeria in your grandmother’s garden.
- Humulene: Woody, earthy. Aging mango wood.
- Terpinolene: Piney, fruity, sparkling. Island fruit salad.
The science on terpenes requires strict interpretation. Much evidence comes from isolated compounds, essential oils, or non-cannabis plants [20]. The 2024 entourage-effect review confirms terpene bioactivity is plausible but robust human proof of clinically meaningful entourage effects remains limited [20][29].
Caryophyllene stands out as a selective CB2 receptor agonist, making it pharmacologically relevant beyond aroma [24]. This is the terpene most likely to contribute meaningfully to anti-inflammatory effects.
Limonene oxidation products are recognized contact allergens [22]. If you have sensitive skin, our sublingual oil is safer than topicals.
Bottom line for Agat: Terpenes make the experience pleasant and may contribute to effects, but claims should be conservative. Enjoy the island-like aromas while understanding the science is still emerging.
Condition-Specific Guidance for Agat
Critical Disclaimer: These are informed by research, not prescriptions. Consult your healthcare provider before use. Products are not FDA-approved to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. Do not operate vehicles or machinery while under influence of psychoactive cannabinoids. Keep out of reach of children—especially important in Agat’s multi-generational households.
Chemotherapy-Related Nausea & Appetite Support (Common at Guam Cancer Care)
- Pre-chemo: 0.5-1.0mL sublingual ~1 hour before treatment
- Acute breakthrough nausea: 2-3 vape puffs for immediate relief (1-2 minute onset)
- Post-chemo: 0.5mL sublingual every 6 hours as needed
- Sleep support: 1.0-2.0mL sublingual before bed (delivers 25-50mg CBN)
Evidence: Delta-8 THC antiemetic [9], delta-9 THC nausea/vomiting evidence [1][13], CBD anxiolytic buffering [3]
Local resources: Guam Cancer Care in Tamuning provides oncology support. Discuss cannabinoid use with your oncologist to ensure no interactions with chemo protocols.
Chronic Pain (Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Neuropathy—Common in Agat’s Aging Population)
- Daytime: 0.3-0.5mL raw sublingual—anti-inflammatory without impairment
- Nighttime: 0.5-1.0mL decarboxylated sublingual—combined pain relief and CBN sleep support
- Breakthrough: Vape as needed for rapid onset during typhoon pressure changes
Evidence: CBD pain evidence [4], delta-9 THC pain evidence [13], beta-caryophyllene CB2 agonism [24], THCa COX-2 inhibition [12]
Local resources: Guam Memorial Hospital’s Pain Management Clinic. Also consider traditional Chamorro massage (hulo’ mamaisen) alongside cannabinoid therapy.
Sleep Support (Insomnia from Pain, PTSD, Anxiety)
- Before bed: 1.0-2.0mL sublingual
- At 2.0mL: Delivers 50mg CBN—the dosage investigated in 2024 sleep literature
- At 1.0mL: Delivers 25mg CBN—above the 20mg threshold in published research
Evidence: CBN sleep evidence is weak [16][17]; cannabis sleep literature overall is methodologically limited [17]
Bottom line for Agat: Don’t expect miracles. Track your sleep quality. If you have severe insomnia, consult the Sleep Disorders Center at Guam Regional Medical City.
Anxiety & Stress (PTSD from Military Service, Typhoon Trauma, Economic Pressures)
- Daytime functional: 0.3mL raw sublingual—CBD and CBG address anxiety pathways without impairment
- Nighttime: 1.0mL sublingual—full profile including CBN
Evidence: CBD anxiety evidence shows statistical significance but limited sample [3]; CBG pharmacology is promising but human data sparse [7][8]
Local resources: Guam’s veterans can access PTSD support through the VA Clinic in Agana Heights. The Guam Behavioral Health and Wellness Center offers counseling. Our Peace Gummies formula (developed from Colin’s benzo withdrawal) may be particularly relevant—available in both edible and vape forms.

Customs & Legal: As a U.S. territory, Guam doesn’t have customs barriers for domestic hemp products. Our products contain <0.3% delta-9 THC, complying with both federal law and Guam’s hemp regulations. However, if you decarboxylate at home, you must ensure resulting delta-9 THC possession stays within Guam’s 1-ounce flower / 8-gram concentrate limits.
International Shipping Note: While Agat receives domestic shipping, we also ship to other Pacific islands (Saipan, Palau, Fiji) where customers accept customs responsibility. The same legal framework makes this possible—THCa is legal until activated.
Payment Options for Agat
We accept:
- All major credit/debit cards
- PayPal
- Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency (important for Agat residents who prefer privacy)
- Money orders (for those without digital banking)
Currency: All prices in USD, which is Guam’s currency.
Safety, Legal Compliance & Agat-Specific Considerations
Age Requirements
- Must be 21+ to purchase RSO products
- We verify age at checkout
THC Content Compliance
- Federal: All products contain <0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight (2018 Farm Bill compliant)
- Guam: Aligns with federal hemp law. Guam’s recreational law allows adults 21+ to possess up to 8 grams of concentrate. Our 30mL bottle contains 90mg delta-9 THC—well within limits. However, if you decarboxylate the 1,500mg THCa, you create ~1,315mg additional delta-9 THC. The total ~1,405mg must fit within your 8-gram possession limit (it does, as 1,405mg = 1.4 grams).
FDA Disclaimers
- Not evaluated by FDA
- Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease
- Individual results may vary
- Consult healthcare provider before use
Safety Warnings for Agat’s Climate & Lifestyle
- May cause drowsiness or impairment: Do not operate vehicles or machinery after taking activated (decarboxylated) oil. This includes driving along Route 2 in Agat, operating boats for fishing, or working at the bases.
- Pregnancy/nursing: Guam’s high birth rate makes this critical—consult your OB-GYN at Guam Memorial before use
- Children: Keep out of reach. Agat’s multi-generational households mean extra vigilance is needed. Store in locked containers.
- Typhoon storage: Our MCT oil base is stable, but store in cool, dark place. If power outages occur during typhoons, the oil remains viable at room temperature (unlike some edibles).
Legal Responsibility
- Buyer responsibility to check Guam’s current cannabis laws
- We assume no legal responsibility for your decarboxylation decisions
- Void where prohibited by law
Important for Agat’s Military Community: If you’re active duty, reserve, or federal employee subject to drug testing, DO NOT use activated (decarboxylated) oil or vape products. THCa in raw form is non-psychoactive and may not trigger tests, but delta-8 and activated delta-9 will cause positive results. We offer raw-only guidance for military families—contact us directly.
The Evidence Framework: How We Evaluate Claims (And How Agat Residents Should Too)
Our GENERAL KNOWLEDGE section applies a formal evidence hierarchy:
- Human clinical evidence (strongest)
- Systematic reviews & meta-analyses
- NIH/institutional summaries
- Preclinical/mechanistic literature (weakest for human claims)
Why this matters in Agat: When you’re scrolling Facebook groups or talking story at the Agat Mayor’s Office, you’ll hear claims like “RSO cured my cousin’s cancer” or “CBG fixed my arthritis.” We honor these personal testimonies—they’re historically significant, as Rick Simpson’s story shows—but they are not medical evidence.
Five Critical Interpretation Rules for Agat Consumers:
-
Evidence is highly uneven: CBD and delta-9 THC have human trials; CBG, CBN, CBC, and terpenes mostly don’t.
-
Extract ≠ molecule ≠ synthetic ≠ terpene: Don’t let evidence from one category stand in for another. A study on whole cannabis flower doesn’t prove what isolated CBG does.
-
Minor cannabinoids are commercially interesting BECAUSE they’re underexplored: This means claims often outrun science. We tell you this upfront.
-
Product quality matters as much as molecule identity: Labeling inaccuracies, contamination, and dose variability affect real-world results. Our third-party testing addresses this.
-
THCa chemistry changes with storage/heating: In Agat’s tropical heat, storage matters. Keep products cool to minimize premature decarboxylation.
Common Overstatements We Refuse to Make
| Overstatement | What We Actually Say | Why It Matters in Agat |
|---|---|---|
| “CBN is a proven sleep aid” | “CBN sleep evidence is weak; we include it at research-relevant doses but don’t promise miracles” | Agat residents with insomnia from chronic pain deserve honesty, not false hope that wastes time and money |
| “Myrcene makes you sleepy” | “Myrcene has preclinical anxiolytic signals but no strong human proof of sedation” | Chamorro culture values balance. We won’t claim a terpene “proves” what science doesn’t yet support |
| “Terpenes create proven entourage effects” | “Entourage hypotheses are plausible but human clinical proof is limited” | Agat’s community deserves the same evidence standard we’d apply at Baylor College of Medicine |
| “THCa is always non-psychoactive” | “THCa itself is non-psychoactive, but heat converts it to THC” | You need to know that leaving oil in your hot Agat car can change its effects |
| “Delta-8 is safe because it’s hemp-derived” | “Delta-8 is psychoactive with incomplete safety data and manufacturing concerns” | Military families in Agat need to know drug testing risks before use |
Our Media Record: Recognition That Can’t Be Bought
ABC13 Houston featured Colin Valencia in seven segments from 2019-2023. For Agat residents wondering “Who are these guys?”—this is your answer.
Key Features:
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.”
March 2021: Decriminalization & Jonathan Pina
“Pain comes in a lot of different forms.” This resonates across Agat—from physical labor pains to the emotional weight of family separation during military deployments.
May 2021: Delta-8 THC Investigation
Steve Campion’s iconic exchange: “Maybe you want to get high.” Colin’s radical honesty: “I don’t give a sh** if it’s wrong to say you’ll get high off it.” Uncensored truth on mainstream TV.
August 2021: COVID Vaccine Giveaway
OilWell donated ~$35,000 in product (1,000 caviar pre-rolls) to encourage vaccination. No political strings—just community health. This is inafa’maolek in action.
October 2021: Delta-8 Ban
Colin proactively removed all Delta-8 products before enforcement and warned other operators they were shipping Schedule I narcotics. Ethical leadership during crisis.
October 2022: Biden Marijuana Pardon
Revealed Colin’s personal marijuana conviction history. “I would love to see people not get hurt for this anymore.” This isn’t corporate speak—it’s lived experience.
April 2023: 4/20 Renaissance
“I want it to be legalized… Right now is actually a pretty – like Renaissance – pretty important time that should be enjoyed now.” Forward-looking optimism rooted in reality.

Final Thoughts for Agat: Why We’re Reaching Out
Agat isn’t just a location—it’s a community that understands resilience. You’ve survived Japanese occupation during World War II, rebuilt after every typhoon, and maintained Chamorro culture against all pressures. That same resilience drives people to seek alternatives when conventional medicine falls short.
We didn’t start OilWell to get rich. We started it because Bentley got up when he was supposed to die. Because Colin survived PTSD and benzo addiction when pharmaceuticals failed. Because we believe people deserve honest options.
Our promise to Agat:
- We’ll never sell you snake oil
- We’ll publish every formula publicly
- We’ll tell you exactly what the evidence says—and doesn’t say
- We’ll ship to your door with full legal documentation
- We’ll answer your calls and emails personally
- We’ll respect your culture, your values, and your right to make informed decisions
The same inafa’maolek that makes Agat strong is what drives us: we don’t turn our backs on people who are suffering. Whether you’re a veteran at the base dealing with PTSD, a grandparent with arthritis who can’t afford to fly to Hawaii for pain management, or a cancer patient looking for support during chemo at Guam Cancer Care—we’re here.
