We are OilWell Cannabis, a Houston-based, Farm Bill-compliant company founded on a story of rescue, built on a foundation of science, and dedicated to making premium, multi-cannabinoid formulations accessible to everyone, including you.

If you or someone you care for in Baldwin County is exploring RSO for cancer support, chronic pain, PTSD, insomnia, or any condition where conventional options have fallen short, you’ve come to the right place. This guide isn’t about sales hype—it’s about education. We believe the people of Baldwin County, from the shores of Gulf Shores to the communities of Daphne and Fairhope, deserve honest information to make empowered decisions about their wellness.

Part 1: Understanding Rick Simpson Oil – History, Evolution, and Our Modern Approach

The Rick Simpson Story: A Catalyst for Change

Rick Simpson was a Canadian maintenance worker, not a doctor. In 2003, after conventional treatments failed him, he applied a concentrated cannabis oil to his skin cancer lesions and claimed they disappeared. This personal testimony, though never clinically verified, sparked a global movement. He famously gave his oil away for free, calling it “Phoenix Tears,” and advocated for its use against a wide range of ailments. His story, documented in the film Run From The Cure, is historically significant because it forced the world to look at cannabis as more than a recreational substance.

However, the traditional RSO Simpson made had critical limitations: it used potentially toxic solvents like naphtha, had no lab testing or standardization, was overwhelmingly high in psychoactive THC, and was destroyed of beneficial terpenes during its crude production. Every batch was a gamble.

Why Modern RSO Is Fundamentally Different

The cannabis industry has evolved. At OilWell, we respect Simpson’s advocacy but have moved far beyond his methods to create a safe, precise, and powerful product. Here’s how our RSO differs:

Our philosophy is built on four pillars that directly address the needs of the Baldwin County community: Accessibility (no medical card required, ships to your door), Patient-Controlled Potency, Open-Source Transparency, and being Evidence-Informed, not evidence-overstating.

Part 2: The OilWell Story – From a Paralyzed Dog in Texas to a Mission of Healing

Our origin isn’t in a corporate boardroom; it’s in a moment of desperation and love. Our founder, Colin Valencia, was told his beloved dog Bentley was paralyzed and should be euthanized. Refusing to give up, Colin discovered CBD and created a “golden paste” formula. Against all odds, Bentley got up, walked, and lived another ten vibrant years. That journey—solving Bentley’s age-related issues like arthritis, neurodegeneration, and glaucoma—became a decade-long masterclass in formulating with multiple cannabinoids (CBD, CBG, THCa, CBN) for specific therapeutic pathways.

Colin also understands pharmaceutical dependence personally, having used his cannabinoid knowledge to break free from benzodiazepines after a PTSD diagnosis. This isn’t theoretical for us. We formulate for real people and real problems because we are those people.

Today, based in Houston’s Montrose neighborhood, we are a Texas DSHS-licensed business with a near-perfect Google rating, recognized with seven features on ABC13 Houston as a trusted industry authority. Our commitment is to integrity, creativity, and the belief that everyone deserves the “best possible version” of this information.

Part 3: The Science Behind Our Formula – A Cannabinoid and Terpene Breakdown

Our RSO is a symphony of compounds, each chosen for its plausible role in supporting wellness. Below is the evidence-based rationale for our complete formula. We adhere to a strict evidence hierarchy, prioritizing human clinical data, then reviews, then preclinical work.

The Seven Cannabinoids in Our Sublingual Oil (16,590mg Total)

1. CBD (4,500mg): The most evidence-supported non-intoxicating cannabinoid. While its strongest FDA-approved use is for rare seizure disorders, a 2024 meta-analysis suggests an anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) signal, and research into its role in pain and inflammation is promising, though heterogeneous. It forms a foundational anti-inflammatory and calming base for our formula.

2. CBG (3,000mg): The “mother of all cannabinoids.” Preclinical research is compelling, showing neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and potential antibacterial properties. A landmark 2024 human trial from Washington State University showed 20mg of CBG significantly reduced anxiety. We include it at a robust dose as a promising, front-line cannabinoid for both mood and inflammation.

3. Delta-8 THC (6,000mg): A psychoactive cannabinoid similar to delta-9 THC but with less potent effects. Pharmacology reviews confirm it activates the same CB1 receptors, offering potential relief from nausea, pain, and appetite issues, but with a potentially more manageable psychoactive experience for many users.

4. THCa (1,500mg): This is the raw, non-psychoactive acid form of THC. Preclinical studies suggest it has anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties on its own. This is the heart of our “patient-controlled potency” model. You can use it raw for zero impairment or decarboxylate (heat) it at home to convert it into approximately 1,315mg of additional delta-9 THC. This legal distinction is revolutionary for access in Baldwin County.

5. Delta-9 THC (90mg): The primary psychoactive compound in cannabis. The National Cancer Institute acknowledges its well-established use for chemotherapy-induced nausea and HIV/AIDS-related appetite loss. It is included here at a minimal, Farm Bill-compliant level (less than 0.3% in the bottle).

6. CBN (750mg): Often marketed as a sleep aid, the human clinical evidence for CBN alone is still weak. However, a 2023 systematic review found that 20-50mg of CBN reduced sleep disturbance. We include 750mg in the bottle (25mg per 1mL serving) to contribute to the formula’s nighttime and relaxation potential, without overstating its standalone effects.

7. CBC (750mg): An emerging “minor” cannabinoid with distinct pharmacology. Preclinical reviews highlight its potential for pain, inflammation, and as a contributor to the “entourage effect.” It adds another layer of complexity to our full-spectrum approach.

The Entourage Effect and Our 5% Live Terpene Profile

Terpenes are aromatic compounds that give cannabis (and many other plants) their distinctive scents. Science suggests they may modulate and enhance the effects of cannabinoids—a concept known as the “entourage effect.” While robust human clinical proof for cannabis-specific terpene effects is still developing, the preclinical data is compelling. We preserve and reintroduce a specific 5% blend:

• Limonene (Citrus): Uplifting, potential mood support.
• Myrcene (Earthy): Often associated with relaxing properties.
• Beta-Caryophyllene (Pepper): Unique because it directly activates the CB2 receptor, part of the body’s endocannabinoid system, supporting anti-inflammatory pathways.
• Pinene (Pine): Associated with alertness and memory.
• Linalool (Lavender): Calming and familiar from aromatherapy.
• Humulene (Woody): Another potential anti-inflammatory agent.
• Terpinolene (Complex): Adds depth to the aromatic profile.

Part 4: Our RSO Products – Two Formats for Baldwin County Lifestyles

When to Choose Each Format:

Part 5: How to Use RSO Responsibly – A Guide for Baldwin County Residents

Critical Legal & Safety Disclaimer: Our products contain hemp-derived cannabinoids and comply with the 2018 Farm Bill (less than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight). They are not FDA-approved to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. You must be 21+ to purchase. Consult your healthcare provider before use, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition. Do not operate vehicles or machinery while impaired. Keep out of reach of children and pets. The buyer assumes all responsibility for understanding and complying with local laws. In Alabama, hemp-derived products with less than 0.3% delta-9 THC are legal. THCa converts to illegal delta-9 THC upon heating; decarboxylation is at the customer’s discretion and risk.

Understanding Your Choices with THCa

Our sublingual oil’s 1,500mg of THCa gives you control:

• Option A: Raw & Non-Psychoactive. Use the oil as-is, straight from the bottle. You get the potential anti-inflammatory benefits of THCa, CBD, CBG, etc., with zero psychoactive effects. Ideal for daytime use, work, or driving.
• Option B: Fully Activated. Decarboxylate the oil by heating it in an oven-safe container at 260°F for 45-60 minutes. This converts the THCa, yielding a total of ~1,405mg of delta-9 THC in the bottle, creating a potent, psychoactive RSO experience for nighttime or severe symptom management.
• Option C: Partial Activation. Transfer a portion to a separate container to decarboxylate, preserving the rest in its raw form.

Condition-Specific Context & Dosing Principles

We provide this educational context based on cannabinoid research. Always start low and go slow. Individual responses vary dramatically.

• Chronic Pain/Inflammation: Begin with 0.25mL – 0.5mL of raw sublingual oil. The combined anti-inflammatory action of CBD, CBG, THCa (via COX-2 inhibition), and beta-caryophyllene (via CB2 receptors) may provide support. For breakthrough pain, the vape cartridge offers rapid onset.
• Sleep Support: 1.0mL – 2.0mL of decarboxylated sublingual oil about an hour before bed delivers a significant dose of CBN (25-50mg) alongside other calming cannabinoids and terpenes like myrcene and linalool.
• Anxiety & Stress: 0.3mL – 0.5mL of raw sublingual oil may provide calming support from CBD and CBG without intoxication. The limonene in our terpene profile may further contribute to mood elevation.
• Nausea & Appetite Support: Delta-8 and delta-9 THC are well-documented antiemetics. For acute nausea, a few puffs from the vape cartridge can provide relief within minutes. For planned support (e.g., before chemotherapy), 0.5mL – 1.0mL of sublingual oil taken an hour prior may be beneficial.

General Titration: Start with 0.25mL (approx. 138mg of total cannabinoids). Wait 2-3 hours to assess effects before considering a slight increase. The goal is to find the minimum effective dose.
