Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Arkansas: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis

For Arkansas residents seeking real answers about RSO, not hype. If you’re researching Rick Simpson Oil in Little Rock, Fayetteville, Jonesboro, or anywhere across the Natural State, you’ve found the most comprehensive, evidence-based resource available. We don’t just sell RSO—we’ve rebuilt it from the ground up with modern science, complete transparency, and a commitment to your safety.

Understanding Rick Simpson Oil: What Arkansas Needs to Know

Who Was Rick Simpson, and Why Does His Story Matter Here in Arkansas?

Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor. He wasn’t a scientist. He was a power engineer from Nova Scotia—a blue-collar tradesman who, like many Arkansans, found himself let down by conventional medicine after a workplace injury. In 1997, Simpson fell from scaffolding at a hospital in Canada, suffering a head injury that left him with persistent tinnitus, dizziness, and post-concussion symptoms. The medications his doctors prescribed either didn’t help or made things worse. When he discovered cannabis provided relief but his physician refused to support it, his distrust of the medical system deepened .

Years later, in 2003, Simpson claimed that three bumps on his arm—diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma—disappeared after he applied concentrated cannabis oil directly to them. No independent medical verification exists. No biopsy confirmation was ever published. But this personal experience became the origin story of Rick Simpson Oil, a movement that would eventually reach Arkansas and every corner of the globe .

Important context for Arkansas readers: Simpson’s story is a personal testimony, not medical evidence. Yet its significance cannot be denied—it catalyzed a global movement that forced the world to take cannabinoid medicine seriously. Here in Arkansas, where our own Medical Marijuana Amendment passed in 2016 but access remains limited and expensive, Simpson’s story resonates because it represents hope when conventional options feel exhausted.

The Traditional RSO Protocol: 60 Grams Over 90 Days

Simpson developed a specific oral regimen designed to deliver 60 grams of oil over approximately 90 days. For Arkansas residents researching RSO dosing, it’s crucial to understand exactly what this protocol entails—and why modern formulations require a different approach.

The Titration Schedule Simpson Recommended:

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

Administration Methods:

• Oral: Simpson’s primary method—placing oil under the tongue or swallowing it.
• Topical: For skin cancers, he recommended applying oil directly to lesions and covering with bandages.
• Inhalation: He acknowledged vaping for immediate symptom relief but insisted oral dosing was essential for sustained treatment.

Critical Context for Arkansas:
At peak dosing, Simpson’s protocol delivered 600-900mg of delta-9 THC daily—far exceeding anything studied in controlled clinical settings. For context, the FDA-approved synthetic THC drug dronabinol is typically dosed at just 2.5-20mg per day. Consuming 600-900mg daily carries serious risks: severe intoxication, anxiety, panic, tachycardia, hypotension, and cannabis use disorder [15].

No controlled trials have validated this protocol. It was designed for crude, unstandardized extracts—not the precision-formulated products available to Arkansans today.

What Traditional RSO Actually Was: The Unvarnished Truth

Many products labeled “RSO” on Arkansas dispensary shelves bear little resemblance to what Simpson originally made. Here’s what traditional RSO actually was:

Source Material: Single high-THC indica strain, with no standardization between batches.

Extraction Solvent: Naphtha (petroleum-based lighter fluid) or 99% isopropyl alcohol—neither food-grade. Naphtha may contain benzene, toluene, and other carcinogens. Incomplete solvent purging was nearly impossible to verify without lab testing.

Extraction Process: Crude bucket-and-solvent method, evaporated in a rice cooker, transferred to syringes.

Appearance: Nearly black, tar-like, with a strong cannabis and potential solvent-residual smell.

Cannabinoid Profile: 60-90% delta-9 THC, uncontrolled and never lab-verified.

Terpene Content: Effectively zero. The solvent and heat process destroyed all volatile terpenes.

Standardization and Testing: None. Every batch was different.

Residual Solvent Risk: Significant. Without analytical testing, harmful residues could remain in the final product.

For Arkansans used to buying lab-tested products from our state’s medical marijuana dispensaries, traditional RSO would be unrecognizable—and unacceptable.

Simpson’s Claims vs. The Evidence: What Arkansas Patients Need to Know

Simpson claimed RSO could cure cancer and treat diabetes, chronic pain, infections, glaucoma, arthritis, depression, insomnia, and more. He maintained this position consistently, framing his work as a fight against institutional corruption .

What Simpson Was Not:

• Not a scientist, physician, or researcher
• Never conducted or published a clinical trial
• Never submitted his results to peer review
• His evidence base was entirely anecdotal

What Preclinical Research Shows:
Laboratory and animal studies have found that THC and CBD can induce apoptosis (programmed cell death), inhibit cancer cell proliferation, and reduce tumor blood vessel formation in certain cell lines and animal models . These findings are scientifically interesting but have not translated into proven human cancer cures.

What the Research Does NOT Show:
No human clinical trial has demonstrated that RSO or any cannabis oil preparation cures cancer. The gap between animal studies and human outcomes is vast .

Institutional Positions:

• National Cancer Institute (NCI): Acknowledges cannabinoid anticancer research but does not endorse cannabis as a cancer treatment .
• FDA: Has not approved any cannabis plant product for cancer treatment. Only Epidiolex (CBD for seizures) and synthetic THC analogues (for chemo nausea and HIV/AIDS wasting) are approved [1].
• Health Canada: Never approved RSO for cancer.
• NCCIH: States strongest evidence is for rare epilepsies, chemo nausea, and HIV/AIDS appetite—not cancer cure [1].

What Simpson Got Right:
He drew attention to cannabinoids as serious medicine when the world ignored them. His advocacy helped create the legal cannabis industry and research infrastructure we have today—including Arkansas’s own medical marijuana program .

What He Overstated:
The leap from preclinical signals to cancer cure was never supported. Encouraging cancer patients to rely on RSO instead of proven therapies (surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, immunotherapy) carries genuine harm potential. Delaying treatment for treatable cancers is a documented concern .

For Arkansas cancer patients at UAMS or regional cancer centers: RSO should be considered a complementary option to discuss with your oncology team, never a replacement for evidence-based treatment.

The OilWell Story: From a Paralyzed Dog to Arkansas’s Most Advanced RSO

Our Origins: Why We Started This Company

OilWell Cannabis wasn’t born in a boardroom. It was born in a moment of desperation, love, and refusal to give up. Our founder, Colin Valencia, grew up in McAllen, Texas—right across from Reynosa, Mexico, one of the most economically challenged and dangerous border regions. He saw friends killed and imprisoned, faced violence most Arkansans can’t imagine, and left home at sixteen. He chose cannabis over darker paths because he saw it as a safer, more beneficial alternative.

Years later, Colin’s dog Bentley—his companion through everything—fell paralyzed in his back legs. Veterinarians recommended euthanasia, warning that pain meds would destroy Bentley’s organs. Colin refused to accept that verdict. 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 a CBD golden paste for Bentley. The results were immediate and undeniable: Bentley got up, walked across the room, and brought Colin his ball. Dogs don’t respond to placebo. That was cannabinoid medicine doing what pharmaceuticals could not.

Bentley lived ten more years, dying naturally at age twenty. During those years, Colin developed specialized formulas for every condition Bentley faced—neurodegeneration, dementia, glaucoma, crippling arthritis. Single cannabinoids weren’t enough. Bentley’s evolving conditions required multi-cannabinoid synergy. This necessity became the foundation of OilWell’s RSO formula.

Colin’s Personal Battle: PTSD and Benzo Addiction

Colin knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He struggled with PTSD and became addicted to benzodiazepines. When he decided to quit Xanax, he did it cold turkey—one of the most dangerous withdrawal processes—using the cannabinoid knowledge he’d developed saving Bentley. The Peace Gummies formula that became an OilWell product was created during midnight experiments while fighting through benzo withdrawal. Colin personally uses the vape form for his insomnia and severe PTSD.

This isn’t theoretical knowledge. Colin lived what Arkansas veterans, chronic pain patients, and trauma survivors live every day. When he says cannabinoids can help where pills fail, he’s speaking from experience.

Building Trust in Houston—and Bringing It to Arkansas

After years of formulation work, Colin did custom software development for Baylor College of Medicine in the Texas Medical Center—one of the most prestigious medical institutions in the world. That combination of deep cannabis plant knowledge plus medical-grade technical precision defines OilWell’s approach.

Since 2019, OilWell has operated from Montrose, Houston, generating approximately $1 million in annual revenue and maintaining a near-5.0 Google rating. We’re Texas DSHS licensed. Every product is crafted in-house—no mass production, no outsourcing of formulations.

ABC13 Houston, the city’s #1 news source, featured Colin in seven comprehensive segments from 2019 to 2023. They called him for product explanations, legal analysis, community health leadership, and political commentary. No other Houston cannabis operator has that record. When Arkansas news outlets need expert cannabis commentary, they often cite national sources—OilWell’s media record provides that same level of credibility directly to Arkansans.

OilWell’s RSO Philosophy: Four Principles That Matter in Arkansas

Our RSO is not traditional Rick Simpson Oil. It’s a modern, formulated, multi-cannabinoid product informed by Simpson’s tradition but solving the problems that limited his original vision.

1. Accessibility Over Gatekeeping

In Arkansas, accessing medical marijuana requires:

• A qualifying condition (cancer, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, PTSD, etc.)
• A physician’s certification
• A $50 patient registry card fee
• Registration with the Arkansas Department of Health
• Travel to one of the state’s limited dispensaries

OilWell requires none of that. Anyone age 21 or older can purchase. We ship directly to your door anywhere in Arkansas—Little Rock, Fayetteville, Fort Smith, Jonesboro, Hot Springs, Pine Bluff, and every rural community in between. No medical card. No doctor’s appointment. No waiting lists.

Rick Simpson believed medicine should be accessible to everyone. We’ve built a product and distribution model that makes that possible legally.

2. Patient-Controlled Potency

Traditional RSO was always psychoactive—the heat of extraction converted all THCa to delta-9 THC. Arkansas patients had no choice: if you needed RSO for daytime use while working, driving, or parenting, you faced impairment.

OilWell’s sublingual formula includes 1,500mg of THCa in its raw, non-psychoactive form. You decide:

• Use it raw: Zero psychoactivity. Perfect for Arkansas residents who work in manufacturing, drive trucks, operate machinery, or simply need to function during the day.
• Decarboxylate at home: Heat the oil at 260°F for 45-60 minutes. 1,500mg THCa converts to ~1,315mg delta-9 THC, giving you full psychoactive potency comparable to traditional RSO.
• Vape it: Our cartridge automatically decarboxylates with each puff for instant relief.

This puts the potency decision in your hands—not ours, not the government’s. Arkansas law enforcement focuses on delta-9 THC content at point of sale. Our product contains only 90mg delta-9 THC per bottle—well under the 0.3% Farm Bill threshold. You’re in control of what happens after it arrives at your Arkansas home.

3. Open-Source Formulas

Rick Simpson gave his oil away for free and taught people to make it. We honor that ethos by publishing our complete formulas publicly—every cannabinoid, every milligram, every percentage.

If you can’t afford $129.99 for our sublingual oil, you can source the individual distillates and make your own. The formulas are detailed later in this guide. This is unprecedented in the cannabis industry. No Arkansas dispensary publishes their formulations. No brand competing in the Arkansas market offers this level of transparency.

We also published the CBD golden paste recipe that saved Bentley’s life—a formula Arkansas pet owners can make today for aging dogs with arthritis or mobility issues.

4. Evidence-Informed, Not Evidence-Overstating

Simpson operated without access to peer-reviewed literature. We have that access, and we use it to distinguish what’s well-supported from what’s emerging from what’s overstated.

Every cannabinoid claim in this document is tied to specific peer-reviewed research. When we say CBD may help with anxiety, we cite the 2024 meta-analysis [3]. When we discuss CBN for sleep, we acknowledge the evidence is weak [16][17]. When we explain delta-8 THC’s effects, we reference comparative pharmacology studies [9].

Arkansas deserves honest science, not hype. Our patients at UAMS, our veterans in Fort Smith, our chronic pain sufferers in the Delta—they need real information to make informed decisions, not false hope.

The Products: Two Formats, Infinite Arkansas Applications

RSO Sublingual Oil — $129.99

Complete Formula Transparency:

• CBD: 4,500mg (anxiolytic, anti-inflammatory)
• CBG: 3,000mg (neuroprotection, potential IBD support)
• Delta-8 THC: 6,000mg (pain relief, anti-nausea, milder psychoactivity than delta-9)
• THCa: 1,500mg (raw COX-2 inhibition, neuroprotective via PPARγ)
• Delta-9 THC: 90mg (baseline THC content, under 0.3% threshold)
• CBN: 750mg (sleep architecture support at 25-50mg doses)
• CBC: 750mg (neurogenesis, anti-inflammatory)
• Live Terpenes: 5% (limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene, linalool, humulene, terpinolene)
• Total Cannabinoids: 16,590mg in 30mL (553mg/mL)

Arkansas-Specific Benefits:

• For cancer patients at UAMS or Arkansas Cancer Coalition members: The multi-cannabinoid approach addresses chemo nausea (delta-8, delta-9), pain (CBD, CBG), sleep disruption (CBN), and anxiety (CBD, CBG, limonene).
• For chronic pain sufferers in rural Arkansas: The raw THCa option provides daytime anti-inflammatory relief without impairment—critical for those working farms, operating equipment, or driving long distances.
• For veterans with PTSD: Colin’s personal experience with benzo withdrawal and PTSD management informs this formula. The 6,000mg delta-8 THC provides therapeutic relief with less anxiety than high-dose delta-9.
• For Arkansans concerned about drug testing: Using the raw (non-decarboxylated) form means THCa doesn’t convert to delta-9 THC, potentially reducing detection risk. However, we are honest: activated THC will trigger positive tests. If your Arkansas employer tests, use the raw form or consult your HR department.

Onset & Duration:

• Sublingual absorption: 15-45 minutes onset, 4-6 hour duration, 13-19% bioavailability
• Graduated dropper: 0.1mL increments for precise dosing
• Typical bottle yield: 40-60 doses depending on serving size

RSO Vape Cartridge — $49.99

Same six cannabinoids as sublingual (excluding the pre-existing delta-9 THC, as THCa auto-converts at vaping temperature):

• CBD: 30%
• CBG: 20%
• Delta-8 THC: 15%
• THCa: 10% (auto-decarboxylates at 400-450°F)
• CBN: 10%
• CBC: 10%
• Live Terpenes: 5%+

Arkansas-Specific Use Cases:

• For breakthrough pain in the Ozarks: Hiking, hunting, or working in rugged terrain? The vape provides 1-2 minute onset for acute pain flares.
• For anxiety attacks: Arkansas’s mental health resources are stretched thin. The vape offers immediate relief when panic strikes.
• For nausea during chemo: Fast-acting antiemetic effects when you can’t wait 45 minutes.
• For social situations: Discreet, portable, no measuring required.

Universal 510-thread compatibility works with batteries available at any Arkansas vape shop or convenience store.

When to Use Each Format: Arkansas Lifestyle Guide

Arkansas Scenario	Recommended Format	Why
Morning farm work (tractors, machinery)	Sublingual (raw)	Zero impairment, anti-inflammatory
Chemo appointment in Little Rock	Vape (pre-appointment) + Sublingual (post)	Fast nausea relief + sustained support
PTSD flashback at home	Vape	Immediate relief when crisis hits
Chronic pain during Arkansas deer season	Sublingual (raw daytime) + Vape (breakthrough)	Functionality + acute management
Sleep issues in Hot Springs hotel	Sublingual (2mL before bed)	50mg CBN for sleep architecture
Anxiety before Fort Smith job interview	Sublingual (0.3mL raw)	Functional calm without sedation
Cancer support group meeting in Fayetteville	Sublingual (1mL decarbed)	Full-spectrum support for symptom management

Farm Bill Compliance: Arkansas Legal Framework

Can Arkansans Legally Buy This?

Yes. Under the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC are legal at the federal level and in Arkansas.

Our sublingual oil contains only 90mg delta-9 THC in the entire 30mL bottle—3mg/mL, well under the 0.3% threshold. All cannabinoids are hemp-derived. The product is legal to purchase, possess, and use in Arkansas without a medical marijuana card.

Arkansas-Specific Legal Notes:

• Arkansas has not banned THCa or hemp-derived delta-8 THC, making our full formula accessible.
• The Arkansas Department of Health regulates medical marijuana separately from hemp products.
• Important: Arkansas employers may still have drug-free workplace policies. While raw THCa is non-psychoactive and less likely to trigger a test, decarbed THC will. If you work for an Arkansas employer that drug tests, use the raw form or consult your HR department before use.

Customer-Controlled Decarboxylation: Arkansas’s Legal Advantage

THCa converts to delta-9 THC when heated at 260°F (125°C) for 45-60 minutes. Here’s the conversion math:

• 1,500mg THCa × 0.877 = ~1,315mg delta-9 THC
• + 90mg existing delta-9 = ~1,405mg total delta-9 THC per bottle

This means you can legally purchase a non-psychoactive product in Arkansas and, in the privacy of your home, activate it into a psychoactive product with potency comparable to traditional illegal RSO. This is the most significant legal cannabis access innovation in history—backed by actual chemistry, not loopholes.

Partial Decarboxylation Option: Transfer a portion of oil to a separate glass container and decarb only what you need, preserving the rest in raw form. This gives Arkansas users unparalleled flexibility.

Open-Source Formulas: Our Promise to Arkansas

Why We Publish Everything

Rick Simpson gave his oil away for free and taught people to make it. We honor that ethos in the modern era.

Our complete formulas are published in this document. If you’re an Arkansan who can’t afford $129.99, you can source individual cannabinoid distillates and make your own version. This is unprecedented transparency in an industry known for secrecy.

The Original Open-Source Formula: Bentley’s CBD Golden Paste

Before we published our RSO formula, we published the CBD golden paste recipe that saved Bentley’s life. Arkansas pet owners facing similar crises can make this today:

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup organic turmeric powder
• 1 cup water
• 1/3 cup unrefined organic coconut oil
• 1-2 tsp freshly ground black pepper (critical for absorption)
• CBD oil (pet-appropriate dosage)

Instructions:

1. Combine turmeric and water in a saucepan; stir over low heat until thick paste forms (7-10 minutes).
2. Add coconut oil and black pepper; mix thoroughly.
3. Cool and store in refrigerator for up to two weeks.
4. Mix small amount with pet’s food 1-2x daily; start low and adjust.

Arkansas pet owners: This formula helped a paralyzed dog walk again. While we can’t promise identical results, we can promise this is the exact recipe that saved Bentley.

Condition-Specific Usage for Arkansas Residents

Important disclaimer: These contexts are informed by research cited in our GENERAL KNOWLEDGE section. They are not medical prescriptions, not FDA-approved treatments, and not substitutes for professional care. Consult your Arkansas healthcare provider—whether at UAMS, a local clinic, or the VA—before using cannabinoid products, especially if you have a medical condition, take medications, are pregnant or nursing, or have health concerns. Do not operate vehicles or machinery while under the influence of psychoactive cannabinoids.

Chemotherapy-Related Nausea & Appetite Support

Pre-chemo (traveling to UAMS or your regional cancer center): Take 0.5-1.0mL sublingual approximately 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 during treatment: 1.0-2.0mL sublingual before bed delivers 25-50mg CBN, the dosage range investigated in 2024 sleep literature.

Evidence context: Delta-8 THC shows antiemetic properties [9]; delta-9 THC is established for chemo nausea [1][13]; CBD provides anxiolytic buffering [3].

Chronic Pain (Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Neuropathy)

Daytime on Arkansas farms or in factories: 0.3-0.5mL raw sublingual—anti-inflammatory cannabinoid exposure without impairment.

Nighttime for rest: 0.5-1.0mL decarboxylated sublingual—combines pain relief with CBN sleep support.

Breakthrough pain: Vape as needed for rapid onset.

Evidence context: CBD and delta-9 THC show pain-modulating effects [4][13]; beta-caryophyllene activates CB2 receptors [24]; THCa inhibits COX-2 [12].

Sleep Support for Insomniac Arkansans

Before bed: 1.0-2.0mL sublingual delivers 25-50mg CBN.

Arkansas-specific note: Many Arkansans work irregular shifts in manufacturing, agriculture, or healthcare. The vape option provides flexible dosing for shift workers who need to sleep during daylight hours.

Evidence context: CBN sleep evidence is emerging but not definitive [16][17]. The 50mg dose at 2mL aligns with recent literature.

Anxiety & Stress (PTSD, Social Anxiety, Work Stress)

Daytime functional relief: 0.3mL raw sublingual—CBD and CBG address anxiety pathways without psychoactive impairment.

Nighttime: 1.0mL sublingual—full profile including CBN for sleep architecture.

Veteran-specific: Colin’s personal PTSD experience informs this protocol. The delta-8 THC provides relief with less anxiety than high-dose delta-9.

Evidence context: CBD shows anxiolytic effects in meta-analyses [3]; CBG pharmacology is promising but early [7][8]; limonene may buffer THC-induced anxiety [20].

Delivery to Arkansas: From Houston to Your Doorstep

How Our Formulas Connect to Real Science

Every cannabinoid and terpene in our formula has a documented evidence profile. We don’t cherry-pick studies—we provide the full context.

Cannabinoid Evidence Summary for Arkansas Readers

CBD: Strongest human evidence for seizures and epilepsy [2]. Emerging anxiolytic data from 2024 meta-analyses [3]. Pain literature is promising but heterogeneous [4]. Sleep literature remains methodologically weak [5]. Liver enzyme elevation possible with high doses [6].

CBG: Promising preclinical data for neurologic disorders and IBD [7][8]. Human evidence is sparse. Commercially available but clinically immature.

Delta-8 THC: Pharmacologically similar to delta-9 but less potent [9]. Real psychoactive effects. Safety data incomplete. Manufacturing quality concerns exist [10][11].

THCa: Non-psychoactive precursor. Converts to THC with heat [12]. Anti-inflammatory potential via COX-2 inhibition. Critical for patient-controlled potency.

Delta-9 THC: Established for chemo nausea and appetite [1][13]. Pain evidence shows short-term benefit but increased adverse events [13]. Pharmacokinetics: onset 15-45min oral, peaks 1-2hrs, lasts 4-6hrs [14]. High-concentration products linked to psychosis and cannabis use disorder [15].

CBN: Marketed for sleep but human evidence is weak [16][17]. No strong clinical trials with validated sleep measures.

CBC: Emerging preclinical data [18][19]. Distinct pharmacology from CBD/THC. Commercially available but not clinically validated.

Terpene Evidence Summary

All terpenes show promise but limited human clinical proof [20]-[29]. Limonene [21][22], myrcene [23], caryophyllene [24], pinene [25], linalool [22][25][26], humulene [27], and terpinolene [28] have preclinical signals but require human trials. Caryophyllene’s CB2 agonism makes it most pharmacologically interesting [24].

Bottom Line for Arkansas

The most evidence-developed actives are CBD and delta-9 THC. Delta-8 is psychoactive with weaker safety data. THCa changes with processing. CBG, CBN, and CBC are credible but immature. Terpenes are plausible but clinically unproven.

We tell you this because Arkansas deserves honesty, not marketing spin.

Arkansas-Specific Considerations

The Arkansas Medical Marijuana Program vs. OilWell’s Hemp-Derived RSO

Arkansas Medical Marijuana (AMMP):

• Requires qualifying condition (cancer, glaucoma, PTSD, etc.)
• Physician certification needed
• $50 annual registry card
• Purchase only at licensed Arkansas dispensaries
• Products are marijuana-derived (not hemp)
• No THCa preservation options
• Higher delta-9 THC content

OilWell Hemp-Derived RSO:

• No qualifying conditions
• No physician certification
• No registry card
• Ships directly to your Arkansas home
• Hemp-derived (Farm Bill compliant)
• Patient-controlled THCa activation
• Seven-cannabinoid formula with live terpenes

Both are legal in Arkansas. They serve different needs. AMMP provides high-delta-9 THC products for specific conditions. OilWell provides multi-cannabinoid access for Arkansans who don’t qualify for AMMP, can’t afford medical card fees, or prefer our formulation approach.

Arkansas’s Opioid Crisis: A Safer Alternative

Arkansas has been hit hard by the opioid epidemic. Rural counties face limited pain management options. Many Arkansans were prescribed opioids for legitimate pain, only to develop dependence.

Our formula offers a multi-pathway pain approach:

• CBD & CBG: Anti-inflammatory without GI side effects of NSAIDs
• Delta-8 THC: Pain relief with lower anxiety than delta-9
• THCa: COX-2 inhibition (like ibuprofen but natural)
• Caryophyllene: Direct CB2 activation

For Arkansas pain patients: This isn’t about getting high—it’s about functioning. Our raw THCa option lets you manage pain during the day without impairment. For night, decarbing provides stronger relief with CBN for sleep.

Arkansas Veterans: We’ve Been There

Colin’s PTSD and benzo withdrawal experience speaks directly to Arkansas’s veteran community. Whether you’re near Little Rock Air Force Base, Fort Chaffee, or in rural areas with limited VA access:

• Delta-8 THC: Provides relief with less paranoia than high-dose delta-9
• CBG: Early research on neurologic disorders [7][8]
• Fast-acting vape: For acute PTSD episodes
• Non-psychoactive raw option: For daytime symptom management without workplace issues

Our Peace Gummies formula—born from Colin’s benzo withdrawal—was developed specifically for this purpose.

Arkansas Cancer Patients: Complementary Support

If you’re receiving treatment at:

• UAMS Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute (Little Rock)
• Hope Cancer Resources (Fayetteville area)
• Any regional oncology clinic

Our formula can complement your treatment:

• Pre-chemo: Delta-8 for nausea [9]
• Post-chemo: CBD for anxiety [3], CBN for sleep [16][17]
• Pain: Multi-cannabinoid approach [4][13]
• Appetite: Delta-9 THC at low dose stimulates appetite [1][13]

Critical: We do not claim RSO cures cancer. The evidence does not support this . Use RSO alongside your oncologist’s treatment plan, not instead of it.

Arkansas Drug Testing Concerns

We are honest with Arkansas workers:

• Raw THCa form: Less likely to trigger standard THC tests (tests target delta-9 metabolites)
• Decarbed/activated form: Will trigger positive THC tests
• Vape form: Will trigger positive THC tests

Arkansas employment context: Many Arkansas employers—especially in manufacturing, transportation, and healthcare—have zero-tolerance policies. If you’re subject to testing, use raw form only or discuss with your employer. We provide documentation but cannot guarantee test results.

Media Recognition: Third-Party Validation Arkansas Can Trust

From 2019-2023, ABC13 Houston featured Colin Valencia in seven news segments covering:

• Texas CBD business boom
• Delta-8 THC legal analysis
• COVID-19 community health leadership ($35,000 product giveaway)
• Delta-8 ban ethical response
• Biden marijuana pardons (Colin’s personal conviction history revealed)
• Texas marijuana law evolution

Why this matters to Arkansas: Major-market news validation from America’s fourth-largest city establishes credibility no Arkansas startup can claim. When you’re deciding whether to trust a cannabis company with your health, independent media documentation matters.

Key Quote from 2019: “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.”

This philosophy—born before our RSO formula existed—still drives everything we do.
