Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Allen County, Indiana: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis
If you’re reading this from Fort Wayne, New Haven, Leo-Cedarville, or anywhere else across Allen County, you’ve probably heard whispers about Rick Simpson Oil. Maybe a neighbor mentioned it at the Parkview YMCA. Maybe a fellow veteran at the VA Northern Indiana Health Care System brought it up in group therapy. Maybe you’re sitting in a waiting room at Lutheran Hospital, searching on your phone for alternatives to the prescription that isn’t working anymore.
We get it. Allen County residents don’t chase trends—we chase results. We’re practical people who work hard, value honesty, and get suspicious when something sounds too good to be true. That’s exactly why we created this guide. We’re OilWell Cannabis, and we’re not here to sell you snake oil or false hope. We’re here to give you the most complete, evidence-based education about RSO available anywhere—written specifically for what life looks like in Allen County, Indiana.
What Is Rick Simpson Oil, Really?
Let’s start with the basics, because there’s a lot of confusion out there. Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) is named after Rick Simpson, a power engineer from Nova Scotia, Canada, born in 1949. He wasn’t a doctor. He wasn’t a scientist. He was a regular working guy—a tradesman—who got hurt on the job in 1997 when he fell from scaffolding at a hospital in Moncton.
The medical system gave him prescriptions that didn’t work and caused side effects. When he asked his doctor about cannabis, he got shut down. So he took matters into his own hands. In 2003, he claimed that applying homemade cannabis oil to three bumps on his arm—which a doctor had told him were basal cell carcinoma—made them disappear in four days. No biopsy, no independent medical verification, no clinical documentation. Just his personal testimony .
That story became the origin myth of RSO. Simpson started making oil in his backyard, giving it away for free to cancer patients and anyone else who asked. He claimed it helped with diabetes, chronic pain, glaucoma, arthritis, depression, insomnia—you name it. He believed pharmaceutical companies were suppressing this “cure” to protect profits .
Here’s what you need to understand about Allen County: Simpson’s distrust of institutions resonates here. We’ve watched the opioid crisis devastate families across Fort Wayne and the surrounding towns. We’ve seen friends and neighbors cycle through medications that don’t work. We understand the frustration of being told “there’s nothing more we can do” at a specialist appointment in the Texas Medical Center—or at a local clinic on Maplecrest Road. That frustration is real, and it’s why RSO became a global movement.
But here’s where we have to be honest with you, neighbor to neighbor: Rick Simpson’s claims have never been proven in human clinical trials. The National Cancer Institute acknowledges that cannabinoids have shown anticancer effects in lab dishes and animal studies, but they do not endorse cannabis or cannabis oil as a cancer treatment . The FDA has not approved any cannabis plant product for cancer. Health Canada has never approved RSO for cancer. The evidence gap between “this killed cancer cells in a Petri dish” and “this cures cancer in people” is massive .
We respect what Simpson started. He brought attention to cannabinoids when the world was ignoring them. But we can’t repeat his mistakes by making claims that exceed the evidence. Not here in Allen County, where our community deserves straight answers.
The Problem with “Traditional” RSO
If you’ve been searching “RSO near me” from your home in Huntertown or grabbing coffee at Covington Plaza, you might have seen products labeled “RSO” at local shops. But most of those products bear little resemblance to what Simpson actually made.
Traditional RSO had serious problems:
- No standardization: Every batch was different because it depended on whatever cannabis strain Simpson happened to grow. No lab testing, no Certificates of Analysis (COAs), no consistency.
- Toxic solvents: Simpson used naphtha (lighter fluid) or 99% isopropyl alcohol—neither food-grade. Residual solvents are nearly impossible to purge without lab equipment, leaving potentially harmful contamination.
- Destroyed terpenes: The high heat used to evaporate solvents burned off the aromatic compounds that give cannabis its character and potential synergy [20][29].
- Extremely high THC: Simpson’s protocol called for 600-900mg of delta-9 THC per day—doses far exceeding anything studied in controlled settings. At those levels, the risks of severe intoxication, anxiety, tachycardia, and cannabis use disorder are real [1][13][14][15].
- One-size-fits-all: Everyone got the same tar-like oil, whether they needed daytime functionality or nighttime relief.
If you’re in Allen County, here’s why this matters: We have friends who work at GM Fort Wayne Assembly, at the steel mills, at the hospitals. They need relief that doesn’t impair their ability to operate machinery, drive home on I-69, or show up for their kids’ soccer games at Zollner Stadium. Traditional RSO doesn’t give them that choice.
How OilWell Cannabis Was Born—And Why It Matters for Allen County
OilWell didn’t start in a corporate boardroom. It started with a dog named Bentley.
Colin Valencia, our founder, grew up in McAllen, Texas—right on the Mexican border in one of the most dangerous, economically challenged regions in America. He’s seen violence most people in Allen County can’t imagine. By sixteen, he’d lost friends to prison and death. He left home and found himself in the traditional cannabis world before legalization, learning the plant intimately while operating in the shadows.
But Colin never fell into harder substances. He chose cannabis because he believed it could help people—not harm them. He later became a formally trained software engineer and did custom development work for Baylor College of Medicine, bringing medical-grade precision to his plant knowledge.
Then Bentley got sick. The vets said euthanasia was the only humane option. Colin refused. He created a CBD golden paste formula, and Bentley—paralyzed, facing death—got up and brought him his ball. That formula is still published on our website for free, so any pet owner in Allen County can make it today.
Bentley lived ten more years. During that time, Colin developed formulations for every condition Bentley faced: neurodegeneration (CBG, THCa), dementia (CBC), glaucoma (THC), arthritis (multi-pathway anti-inflammation). He learned that single cannabinoids weren’t enough—Bentley needed seven cannabinoids working together.
Colin also knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He used his cannabinoid knowledge to quit Xanax cold turkey after struggling with PTSD. The Peace Gummies he created during midnight withdrawal experiments are now one of our bestselling products—especially among Allen County veterans dealing with trauma.
Why does this matter to you in Indiana? Because we didn’t build OilWell to chase profits. We built it because we know what it’s like to be desperate for relief when the medical system fails you. Whether you’re in Fort Wayne, Leo-Cedarville, or Grabill, that desperation feels the same.
The Science Behind Our Multi-Cannabinoid Formula
Here’s where we get technical—but we’ll keep it accessible, because Allen County residents appreciate straight talk without the fluff.
Our sublingual RSO contains 16,590mg of total cannabinoids across seven defined compounds in a 30mL bottle. That’s 553mg per mL—every dropper delivers precise, lab-verified amounts. Here’s what each cannabinoid does, based on the evidence:
CBD (4,500mg)
The most studied non-psychoactive cannabinoid. Strongest evidence for rare epilepsies [2]. Promising but mixed evidence for anxiety [3] and chronic pain [4]. We include it for its anxiolytic potential and anti-inflammatory pathways, especially for Allen County residents dealing with stress from manufacturing jobs or chronic pain from workplace injuries.
CBG (3,000mg)
The “mother cannabinoid” precursor to THC and CBD. Preclinical studies suggest neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties, especially relevant for neurodegeneration [7][8]. For our Allen County veterans with PTSD-related cognitive issues or older adults concerned about dementia, this is a key component—though human trials are still emerging.
Delta-8 THC (6,000mg)
A psychoactive THC analogue with milder effects than delta-9. 2022 research shows similar pharmacology but lower potency [9]. We include it because Texas originally banned it (and OilWell removed it proactively), but it remains federally legal and offers therapeutic benefits for pain and nausea. Allen County customers tell us it provides relief without the intensity of traditional THC.
THCa (1,500mg)
The game-changer. This is the raw, non-psychoactive precursor to THC. It doesn’t get you high—unless you heat it. Studies show anti-inflammatory effects via COX-2 inhibition and neuroprotective potential [12]. For our Allen County customers who work at Fort Wayne’s assembly plants or drive trucks, this means daytime relief with zero impairment.
Delta-9 THC (90mg)
Yes, we include some—just 90mg total in the bottle, keeping it under 0.3% to comply with the Farm Bill. This tiny amount provides entourage benefits without the risks of Simpson’s 600-900mg daily doses. For Allen County residents who need to pass employer drug tests, this minimal delta-9 level matters: raw THCa will not trigger a test, but fully decarbed oil will.
CBN (750mg)
Marketed everywhere as the “sleep cannabinoid,” but the evidence is weak [16][17]. We include it because at 25-50mg doses (1-2mL of our oil), it aligns with the dosage range studied in recent sleep research. But we’re honest: this is an emerging area, not proven medicine.
CBC (750mg)
Preclinical studies suggest roles in neurogenesis and inflammation [18][19]. For Allen County residents worried about cognitive decline or dealing with inflammatory conditions, it’s a promising addition—though human data is still sparse.
The Terpene Profile: Why It Matters for Hoosiers
Traditional RSO had no terpenes left after harsh extraction. We preserve and add live terpenes at 5% because they contribute to the entourage effect—though human proof remains limited [20][29]. Our seven-terpene blend includes:
- Limonene: Citrus brightness that may support mood. Think of the scent when you peel an orange at the Fort Wayne Farmers Market.
- Myrcene: Earthy notes. Some claim sedative effects, but human evidence is thin [23].
- Caryophyllene: The only terpene that directly activates CB2 receptors (like a dietary cannabinoid) [24]. Potentially powerful for inflammation—crucial for Allen County residents with arthritis from factory work.
- Pinene: Forest-fresh aroma. Some studies suggest memory benefits, but clinical proof is weak [25].
- Linalool: Lavender-like calm. Anecdotal reports of relaxation, but research is preclinical [26].
- Humulene: Woody, earthy. Anti-inflammatory potential in rodent studies [27].
- Terpinolene: Complex piney-fruity scent. Least studied of our terpenes [28].
We don’t overstate these benefits. We include them because the science is plausible, and they make the product experience more complete. For Allen County users who appreciate craftsmanship—whether it’s a well-made car at the GM plant or a carefully brewed beer at a local brewery—this attention to detail matters.

- Indiana: Hemp-derived products are legal. Our oil contains 90mg delta-9 THC total in a 30mL bottle—well under the limit.
- THCa is legal at point of sale. It only becomes illegal if you decarboxylate it into THC in a jurisdiction where that’s prohibited.

Why ABC13 Houston Chose Colin as Their Expert—And Why That Matters for You in Indiana
Between 2019-2023, ABC13 Houston featured Colin and OilWell in seven major news segments. Not one or two—seven. Five different reporters sought him out for:
- CBD business trends
- Delta-8 THC legal analysis
- COVID community health leadership ($35,000 in free product given away)
- Criminal justice reform (Colin revealed his own marijuana conviction history)
- Texas legislative updates
The through-line: Colin’s radical honesty. On live TV, he said “Maybe you want to get high” when asked why someone would use Delta-8. He proactively removed Delta-8 products before Texas banned them, warning other operators they were shipping Schedule I narcotics. He gave away $35,000 in product to encourage vaccination—no political agenda.
What this means for Allen County: You’re not buying from some faceless internet brand. You’re buying from someone who has been vetted by mainstream media as the most credible voice in America’s fourth-largest city. That credibility transcends geography. When you order from OilWell, you’re supporting a company that has proven it cares more about people than profits.
The Bottom Line for Allen County
We know you’re practical. You want to know:
Is it legal? Yes, in Indiana. Farm Bill compliant.
Will it work? The evidence is strongest for CBD (anxiety, seizures), delta-9 THC (pain, nausea), and emerging for CBG, THCa, and others. It’s not a cancer cure. It may help with pain, sleep, anxiety, and chemo side effects—but individual results vary.
Is it safe? Safer than traditional RSO (no toxic solvents, lab-tested). But all cannabinoids have risks: impairment, drug interactions, potential liver effects. Read the GENERAL KNOWLEDGE section in full.
Can I afford it? At $129.99 for 16,590mg of cannabinoids, it’s competitively priced. And if you can’t afford it, we publish the complete formula so you can make your own. That’s the OilWell difference.
