The Story Behind Rick Simpson Oil (RSO)

Who Was Rick Simpson?

Rick Simpson was a Canadian power engineer who, in 2003, claimed that cannabis oil helped him treat his basal cell carcinoma (a form of skin cancer). Despite lacking formal medical training, Simpson became one of the most influential figures in the medical cannabis movement, advocating for the use of high-THC cannabis oil as a natural remedy for cancer and other conditions.

His story spread globally through the documentary Run From The Cure (2005), inspiring thousands to explore cannabis oil as an alternative treatment. However, it’s important to note:

• Simpson’s claims were based on personal experience, not clinical trials.
• No independent medical verification confirmed his cancer recovery.
• His protocol (60 grams over 90 days) was untested and carried risks (high THC doses, solvent residues, lack of standardization).

The Problem with Traditional RSO

While Simpson’s advocacy helped destigmatize cannabis, his original method had serious limitations:
❌ No lab testing – Every batch was different.
❌ Harsh solvents – Naphtha (a petroleum-based solvent) left toxic residues.
❌ Extremely high THC – 600-900mg daily, risking intoxication, anxiety, and impairment.
❌ No terpenes – Heat destroyed beneficial aromatic compounds.
❌ No minor cannabinoids – Only THC, missing CBD, CBG, CBN, and others.

OilWell’s RSO solves these problems—while honoring Simpson’s original mission of accessibility and natural healing.

OilWell’s RSO: A Modern, Evidence-Based Formula

What Makes OilWell’s RSO Different?

Our RSO Sublingual Oil and RSO Vape Cartridge are not traditional RSO—they’re next-generation formulations designed for safety, precision, and effectiveness.

Why a Multi-Cannabinoid Formula?

Simpson’s RSO relied only on THC, but modern science shows that cannabinoids work better together (the “entourage effect”).

Our formula includes:
✔ CBD (4,500mg) – Anti-inflammatory, anxiolytic, neuroprotective.
✔ CBG (3,000mg) – “The mother cannabinoid,” supports gut health and neuroprotection.
✔ Delta-8 THC (6,000mg) – Milder psychoactivity than Delta-9, with anti-nausea effects.
✔ THCa (1,500mg) – Non-psychoactive until heated (patient-controlled potency).
✔ CBN (750mg) – Supports sleep and relaxation.
✔ CBC (750mg) – May help with pain and neurogenesis.

Result? A balanced, therapeutic product that addresses pain, inflammation, sleep, anxiety, and more—without the extreme high of traditional RSO.

Is RSO Legal in Antigua and Barbuda?

Understanding Antigua and Barbuda’s Cannabis Laws

Antigua and Barbuda has progressive cannabis policies compared to many Caribbean nations:

• Decriminalized possession (up to 15 grams for personal use).
• Medical cannabis legal (since 2018).
• Cultivation allowed (up to 4 plants per household).

However, RSO falls into a gray area because:
✅ Hemp-derived products (with <0.3% Delta-9 THC) are legal in many countries, including the U.S. (where OilWell is based).
⚠ THC content matters – Some countries regulate total THC (including THCa), while others only regulate Delta-9 THC.

OilWell’s Legal Compliance

Our RSO Sublingual Oil contains:

• Only 90mg Delta-9 THC (well under the 0.3% legal limit).
• 1,500mg THCa (non-psychoactive until heated by the user).
• All cannabinoids are hemp-derived (Farm Bill compliant).

This means:
✔ Legal to purchase and possess in most countries (including Antigua and Barbuda).
✔ Legal to ship internationally (with proper documentation).
✔ Customer-controlled potency – You decide whether to use it raw (non-psychoactive) or decarboxylated (psychoactive).

⚠ Important: Always check local laws before ordering. OilWell provides full COAs and shipping documentation to help with customs.

How to Use RSO in Antigua and Barbuda

1. Sublingual Oil (30mL Bottle, 16,590mg Total Cannabinoids)

• Best for: Daily use, chronic pain, sleep, anxiety, inflammation.
• Onset: 15-45 minutes.
• Duration: 4-6 hours.
• Dosing: Start with 0.25-0.5mL (138-276mg cannabinoids) and adjust as needed.

Condition-Specific Dosing Guide

2. Vape Cartridge (1g, 900mg+ Cannabinoids)

• Best for: Fast relief (1-2 minute onset), acute pain, panic attacks, breakthrough nausea.
• Onset: 1-2 minutes.
• Duration: 2-4 hours.
• Dosing: 1-3 puffs as needed.

⚠ Note: The vape cartridge automatically decarboxylates THCa when heated, making it psychoactive.

Patient-Controlled Potency: The Power of THCa

One of OilWell’s biggest innovations is THCa preservation.

How It Works:

• Raw (Non-Psychoactive): THCa stays inactive—no high, no impairment.
• Decarboxylated (Psychoactive): Heat at 260°F (125°C) for 45-60 min to convert THCa → Delta-9 THC (~1,315mg).

Why This Matters for Antigua and Barbuda Residents:
✔ Daytime use? Take it raw—no impairment for work, driving, or family time.
✔ Nighttime use? Decarb it for stronger pain relief and sleep support.
✔ Vape for instant relief? The cartridge auto-decarbs with each puff.

This is the future of legal cannabis—one product, multiple uses.
