Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Bleckley County, Georgia: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis
Bleckley County sits in the heart of Central Georgia, where the pine forests meet the farmland and neighbors still look out for each other. We know Cochran’s Main Street, the Friday night lights at the Bleckley County High School stadium, and the quiet strength of folks who work the land and pray for rain. We also know that when you’re dealing with chronic pain from years on a tractor, or when a loved one in your congregation is fighting cancer, or when the VA’s pills aren’t helping that old war wound — you start looking for answers beyond what the small clinic on Second Street can offer.
That’s why we’re here. OilWell Cannabis, born from a man’s desperation to save his dog and his own battle with pharmaceutical addiction, now serves patients in every corner of America — including right here in Bleckley County. We can’t offer same-day delivery to Cochran like we do to Houston’s Texas Medical Center, but we can offer something just as valuable: the most honest, scientifically grounded, and accessible RSO education you’ll find anywhere. And we can ship our Farm Bill-compliant RSO directly to your door in Bleckley County, legally and discreetly.
Before we talk about our product, we need to talk about what RSO actually is, where it came from, and why the traditional version your neighbor might be making in their barn has real problems that we deliberately solved.
Understanding Rick Simpson Oil: The History Bleckley County Needs to Know
Who Was Rick Simpson?
Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor. He was a power engineer from Nova Scotia — a working-class tradesman, much like many folks we respect in Bleckley County. In 1997, he fell from scaffolding at a hospital job and suffered a head injury that left him with ringing ears, dizziness, and chronic pain. The doctors gave him pills that didn’t work and told him cannabis wasn’t an option. So he did what any self-reliant person might do: he started researching on his own.
He stumbled across a 1974 NIH study from Virginia that found THC could slow tumors in mice. That study was never replicated in humans, but it sparked something in Simpson. In 2003, he claimed three bumps on his arm were diagnosed as skin cancer, and he treated them with concentrated cannabis oil he made himself. According to his story, the lesions disappeared in four days. No biopsy, no doctor verification — just his personal testimony. That testimony became the foundation of a global movement.
Important context for Bleckley County readers: We share Simpson’s story because it’s historically significant, not because it’s medical proof. We know folks in Bleckley County who’ve been failed by the medical system and found relief in cannabis. We respect that journey. But we also know that personal stories, while powerful, are not the same as clinical trials. We’ll always tell you the difference.
The Traditional RSO Protocol: What Your Neighbor Might Be Doing
After his experience, Simpson started giving away oil for free to cancer patients in his community. He recommended a specific protocol: 60 grams of oil over 90 days, starting with a dose the size of half a grain of rice and building up to a full gram per day.
Here’s what that looks like in practice:
- Week 1: Half a grain of rice, three times daily (about 30-45mg total)
- 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
- Administration: Under the tongue, or topically for skin issues
He said patients would build tolerance to the high in 3-4 weeks and recommended nighttime dosing at first. He also suggested dietary changes — cut sugar, avoid processed foods.
Why This Protocol Is Problematic for Bleckley County
We need to be straight with you about the risks, especially for folks here in rural Georgia who might be making this at home:
- No clinical validation. This protocol has never been tested in a controlled trial. Zero. That’s not how we do things at OilWell.
- Crude, unstandardized material. Traditional RSO was made from whatever cannabis strain was available. Potency could be 60-90% THC, or it could be less. You never knew.
- Extremely high THC exposure. At peak dosing, Simpson’s protocol delivers 600-900mg of delta-9 THC per day. The FDA-approved synthetic THC drug dronabinol is dosed at 2.5-20mg per day. This is a massive gap in safety data.
- Real risks at those doses: Severe intoxication, panic attacks, rapid heartbeat, low blood pressure, and cannabis use disorder are well-documented at high doses [1][13][14][15]. If you’re driving the backroads between Cochran and Hawkinsville, you cannot be impaired.
- No lab testing. Traditional RSO had no Certificate of Analysis testing for pesticides, heavy metals, or residual solvents. In rural Georgia, where well water and agricultural runoff are real concerns, this matters.
- Residual solvent danger. Simpson used naphtha (lighter fluid) or 99% isopropyl alcohol. Naphtha contains benzene and toluene — known carcinogens. Without lab equipment, you can’t verify if any solvent remains in the final product.
The bottom line for Bleckley County: We respect Simpson’s original impulse to help people. But we live in a different era. The product your cousin makes in their kitchen might be made with love, but it’s not made with safety standards. And when you’re dealing with cancer or chronic pain, safety isn’t optional.
What Simpson Got Right
Rick Simpson drew attention to cannabinoids when the world was ignoring them. He helped create the political space for the legal cannabis industry that exists today. The term “RSO” is now the most recognized name for full-spectrum cannabis extract. That matters. We build on his vision, but we build with modern science, not 2003 kitchen equipment.
Why OilWell Cannabis Built Something Different
Our Origin Story: From a Paralyzed Dog to a Mission
OilWell Cannabis didn’t start in a boardroom. It started with Bentley, a dog who was family to our founder Colin Valencia. When veterinarians told Colin that Bentley was paralyzed and euthanasia was the only option, he refused to accept it. A rescue worker asked him: “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and you’ve never heard of CBD?” That question changed everything.
Colin made a CBD golden paste for Bentley. The dog got up, walked across the room, and brought him his ball. Dogs don’t respond to placebo. That was real. Bentley lived another ten years, and during that decade, Colin developed specialized formulas for every condition Bentley faced: neurodegeneration, dementia, glaucoma, crippling arthritis. Single cannabinoids weren’t enough. He needed multiple cannabinoids working together.
Then Colin used that same knowledge to quit Xanax cold turkey after struggling with PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction. The Peace Gummies formula that became one of our most popular products was created during midnight experiments while fighting through withdrawal.
Why this matters to Bleckley County: We didn’t start this company to get rich. We started it because we know what it’s like to be desperate for relief, to have the medical system fail you, and to find answers in cannabis when nothing else worked. That experience — not corporate strategy — is why our formulas are built the way they are.
Four Core Principles That Serve Rural Georgia
-
Accessibility over gatekeeping. In Georgia, you need a medical card for the state’s Low THC Oil Registry, and the qualifying conditions are extremely limited (cancer, ALS, seizure disorders, MS, Crohn’s, mitochondrial disease, Parkinson’s, sickle cell, Tourette’s, autism, epidermolysis bullosa, Alzheimer’s, AIDS, peripheral neuropathy, PTSD). Most folks in Bleckley County with chronic pain, insomnia, or anxiety don’t qualify. Our RSO is Farm Bill compliant — 21+ only, no medical card required. We ship directly to your door in Cochran, Hawkinsville, or anywhere in Bleckley County.
-
Patient-controlled potency. Our sublingual oil contains 1,500mg of THCa in its raw, non-psychoactive form. You decide if you want to use it raw for daytime anti-inflammatory relief (no impairment) or heat it at 260°F for 45-60 minutes to convert it to 1,315mg of delta-9 THC. This matters in Bleckley County, where you might need to drive to the feed store, attend church, or work your shift at the plant without being impaired. You control the outcome.
-
Open-source formulas. We publish every milligram of our formula publicly. If you can’t afford our $129.99 sublingual oil (16,590mg total cannabinoids), you can see exactly what’s in it and source the ingredients yourself. That’s our version of Rick Simpson’s free-distribution model for the modern era. We sell a professional, lab-tested product for those who want it, and we give the recipe to those who need to make their own.
-
Evidence-informed, not evidence-overstating. We never claim our RSO cures cancer. That’s not what the science shows. What we do is provide the best possible version of the information so you can give it a fair shot and decide if it’s right or wrong for you. That means citing real studies, not testimonials, and being honest about what we don’t know.
The Science Behind Every Cannabinoid in Our Formula
We know folks in Bleckley County appreciate straight talk. Here’s what the research actually says about each compound in our RSO, using the same evidence hierarchy we apply to everything: human clinical trials first, then systematic reviews, then preclinical studies.
CBD (4,500mg in our sublingual formula)
- Best evidence: Seizure disorders. The FDA approved Epidiolex for certain rare epilepsies based on solid human trials [1][2].
- Anxiety: A 2024 review of 316 participants across 8 studies found significant anxiolytic effects, but the authors stressed the sample is still limited [3]. It’s promising, not proven.
- Pain: A 2024 review found the literature promising but heterogeneous — trial quality limits confidence [4].
- Sleep: A 2023 review found most studies use weak methods and subjective measures [5]. Not a sleep cure.
- Safety: Real concerns about liver enzyme elevation, especially with high doses or combined with other medications [6]. If you’re taking prescriptions for diabetes, blood pressure, or other conditions common in rural Georgia, talk to your doctor first.
For Bleckley County: If you’re dealing with chronic pain from years of physical labor, CBD might help — but it’s not a miracle. Start low, go slow, and monitor your liver function if you’re on other meds.
CBG (3,000mg)
- Evidence: Mostly preclinical and review-level [7][8]. Human data is sparse.
- Pharmacology: Interacts with cannabinoid receptors, alpha-2 adrenoceptors, and 5-HT1A receptors. Mechanistically interesting but not clinically established [7].
- Research areas: Neurologic disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, antibacterial activity — all preclinical hypotheses, not proven therapies [8].
- Caution: CBG is already being sold commercially while the evidence base is still thin [7].
For Bleckley County: CBG is the “next big thing” being pushed by some brands. We include it because the preclinical science is interesting, but we’re honest: it’s not proven for humans yet.
Delta-8 THC (6,000mg)
- Evidence: Pharmacologically relevant and psychoactive, but much less studied than delta-9 [9]-[11].
- Pharmacology: Partial CB1 agonist, less potent than delta-9 THC due to weaker receptor affinity [9].
- Safety: A 2023 review found adverse event reports and emphasized regulatory concerns [10]. Manufacturing quality is inconsistent [11].
- Comparison: Not “mild” or “safe just because it’s hemp-derived.” It’s a real THC analogue with real effects.
For Bleckley County: If you’re looking for pain relief without the intensity of delta-9, delta-8 might be an option. But it’s not harmless. It will show up on a drug test. Don’t drive after using it. And buy from someone who tests their product — like us.
THCa (1,500mg)
- What it is: The acidic precursor to THC. Non-psychoactive in its raw form [12].
- Conversion: Heating at 260°F for 45-60 minutes converts THCa to delta-9 THC (1mg THCa = 0.877mg THC). Storage time can also cause gradual conversion [12].
- Potential benefits: Preclinical studies suggest anti-inflammatory (COX-2 inhibition) and neuroprotective (PPARγ agonism) activity, but no human trials yet [12].
For Bleckley County: This is the game-changer for our rural customers. You can take the raw oil during the day to help with inflammation from arthritis or old injuries and still function. Then, if you need stronger relief at night, you can heat a separate portion. One product, two uses. That’s practical value.
Delta-9 THC (90mg total in bottle)
- Best evidence: Chemo-related nausea, HIV/AIDS appetite loss, some MS symptoms [1]. Cancer cure claims are NOT supported.
- Pain: A 2022 review found high-THC products may provide short-term pain relief but increase dizziness, sedation, and nausea [13].
- Pharmacokinetics: Inhaled: effects in seconds to minutes, peaks in 15-30 minutes. Oral: slower onset, longer duration [14].
- Mental health risks: A 2025 review found high-concentration THC products consistently associated with psychosis, schizophrenia, anxiety, and depression in non-therapeutic settings [15].
- Safety: Anxiety/panic at high doses, tachycardia, blood pressure changes, dependency, withdrawal, pregnancy risks [1][14][15].
For Bleckley County: Our formula contains only 90mg of delta-9 THC total — 3mg per mL. That’s intentionally low compared to traditional RSO’s 600-900mg per day. We let you add more via THCa conversion if you want it, but we don’t force high doses on you.
CBN (750mg)
- Marketing: Pushed heavily as a “sleep cannabinoid.”
- Evidence: Weak. A 2021 review screened 99 human-study abstracts and found NO clinical trials using validated sleep measures [16]. The 2024 sleep literature update confirms the evidence base is still inadequate [17].
- Reality: The sleep claims are ahead of the science.
For Bleckley County: We include CBN at 750mg (25mg per mL) because the preclinical work is interesting and some customers report benefit. But we’re honest: if you’re using our RSO for sleep, the effect is likely from the combination of cannabinoids and terpenes, not just CBN. Don’t fall for brands that hype CBN as a miracle sleep cure.
CBC (750mg)
- Evidence: Emerging, mostly preclinical [18][19].
- Pharmacology: Distinct from THC and CBD, with potential antinociceptive, antibacterial, and anti-seizure activity in animal models [18].
- Caution: Products are being sold despite little evidence of clinical efficacy or safety [18].
For Bleckley County: Another promising minor cannabinoid that we’re watching closely. We include it for the entourage potential, but we don’t make claims we can’t support.
Live Terpenes (5% in both products)
Traditional RSO had no terpenes — they were destroyed by heat and solvents. We preserve and add them back because the preclinical science is promising, even if human proof is still developing [20][29].
Our seven-terpene profile:
- Limonene: Citrus-bright aroma. Preclinical antioxidant, anti-inflammatory activity [21]. Can cause contact allergies in oxidized form [22].
- Myrcene: Earthy. Preclinical anxiolytic and anti-inflammatory properties, but no human proof yet [23].
- Caryophyllene: Pepper/spice. Direct CB2 receptor agonist — the only terpene known to interact with the endocannabinoid system [24]. This is our heavy hitter for inflammation.
- Pinene: Forest-fresh. Preclinical neuroprotective signals, but limited human data [25].
- Linalool: Floral, lavender. Preclinical stress and mood support, but human trials lacking [26]. Oxidized form can be allergenic [22].
- Humulene: Earthy, woody. Preclinical anti-inflammatory, some rodent studies suggest cannabimimetic properties [27].
- Terpinolene: Piney, fruity. Very limited human research [28].
For Bleckley County: These terpenes make our RSO smell and taste better than the tar-like traditional stuff. But we’re honest: the entourage effect is plausible, not proven. We include them because they might help, and they definitely improve the experience.

Condition-Specific Guidance for Bleckley County Residents
Critical disclaimer: We are not doctors. These are not FDA-approved treatments. Always consult your healthcare provider, especially if you’re taking medications for diabetes, blood pressure, or other conditions common in rural Georgia. Our products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Chronic Pain (Arthritis, Back Injury, Neuropathy)
Daytime: 0.3-0.5mL raw sublingual oil for anti-inflammatory effects without impairment. The THCa provides COX-2 inhibition (like ibuprofen, but gentler on your stomach), and beta-caryophyllene activates CB2 receptors in your immune system [12][24].
Nighttime: 0.5-1.0mL decarboxylated sublingual oil. The delta-8 THC and converted delta-9 THC address pain while CBN helps with sleep [13][16][17].
Breakthrough: 2-3 vape puffs as needed for rapid relief.
For Bleckley County: If you’ve been on opioids from the pain clinic in Macon and want to taper, talk to your doctor about using our raw THCa option during the day to manage withdrawal symptoms. The CBC and CBG may help with the nerve pain that opioids barely touch [18][19][7][8].
Sleep Disorders
Before bed: 1.0-2.0mL decarboxylated sublingual oil. At 2.0mL, you’re getting 50mg of CBN — the dosage level investigated in 2024 sleep literature [17]. But be honest: the evidence for CBN as a standalone sleep aid is weak [16]. The effect is likely from the full cannabinoid profile plus terpenes like myrcene and linalool [23][26].
For Bleckley County: If your sleep issues stem from PTSD (common among our veteran community), the vape format can help with middle-of-the-night panic attacks. Colin personally uses it for his severe PTSD.
Anxiety and Stress
Daytime: 0.3mL raw sublingual oil. CBD and CBG address anxiety pathways without psychoactive effects [3][7][8]. Limonene may provide mood support [21].
For Bleckley County: We know mental health resources are limited here. The nearest psychiatrist might be in Warner Robins or Macon. Our raw formula gives you an option that won’t interfere with your ability to work or drive. But if you’re having serious mental health crisis, please call the Georgia Crisis & Access Line at 1-800-715-4225.
Cancer Supportive Care (Nausea, Appetite)
Pre-chemo: 0.5-1.0mL raw sublingual oil 1 hour before treatment. Delta-8 THC has documented antiemetic effects [9].
Breakthrough nausea: 2-3 vape puffs for immediate relief [9][13].
Appetite: Delta-9 THC is well-established for stimulating appetite in HIV/AIDS and cancer patients [1].
For Bleckley County: If you’re driving to the cancer center at Navicent Health in Macon or Piedmont Macon, our travel-friendly vape can help with nausea on the drive home. The Texas Medical Center offers free delivery because it’s the world’s largest medical complex; we can’t do that for Bleckley County, but we can ship to your home before your next treatment cycle.
Legal Status: What Bleckley County Needs to Know
Federal Law (2018 Farm Bill)
Our products are legal under the 2018 Farm Bill because they contain less than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight. Our sublingual oil has only 90mg delta-9 THC total in the entire 30mL bottle — that’s 3mg per mL.
Georgia State Law
Georgia’s medical cannabis law (Low THC Oil Registry) is extremely restrictive. Recreational cannabis is illegal. However, hemp-derived products like ours that comply with the Farm Bill are legal to purchase, possess, and use in Georgia.
Important: THCa converts to delta-9 THC when heated. If you choose to decarboxylate our product at home, you are creating a substance that may exceed Georgia’s legal limits if tested. You are responsible for understanding and complying with local laws. We ship with full documentation, COAs, and receipts. If you have concerns, consult a legal professional in Bleckley County.
Drug Testing
- Raw sublingual oil: Unlikely to trigger a positive test (contains only 3mg/mL delta-9 THC)
- Decarboxylated oil: Will trigger positive tests (converts THCa to delta-9 THC)
- Vape cartridge: Will trigger positive tests (auto-decarboxylates at vaping temp)
For Bleckley County: Many employers in the area still drug test, including the school system, Bleckley County government, and manufacturing plants. If your job requires testing, use the raw form only, or abstain.

CBD Golden Paste Recipe (From Bentley’s Story)
This is the original open-source formula Colin published before we ever sold RSO. It’s for pets, but some people adapt it for themselves.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup organic turmeric powder
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup unrefined organic coconut oil
- 1-2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper (critical for absorption)
- CBD oil (dosage depends on size/needs)
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 mixed
- Cool and store in refrigerator (up to 2 weeks)
- Add CBD oil before serving
Serving: Mix small amount with food once or twice daily. Start low, increase gradually.
For Bleckley County: If you have an old farm dog with arthritis, this recipe might help. Dogs don’t respond to placebo. Bentley proved that.
Our Media Record: Why ABC13 Houston Trusts Us (And Why Bleckley County Can Too)
Between 2019 and 2023, ABC13 Houston (KTRK) — the ABC affiliate in America’s fourth-largest city — featured Colin Valencia and OilWell Cannabis in seven news segments. Five different reporters sought us out. No other Houston cannabis operator has that frequency or breadth.
What this means for Bleckley County: Mainstream media validation from a major-market affiliate is a credibility signal that transcends geography. When we tell you our formula is what we say it is, it’s been verified by journalists, not just our marketing team.
The September 2019 Feature: Where Our Philosophy Began
Colin’s quote from that first interview: “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.”
That quote is the seed of everything we’ve built. It’s why we publish our formulas. It’s why we cite 29 peer-reviewed studies in this document. It’s why we’re honest about what we don’t know.
The October 2021 Feature: Ethical Leadership in Crisis
When Texas DSHS suddenly classified delta-8 as Schedule I, we proactively removed all products before enforcement began. Colin warned other operators who were unknowingly shipping narcotics. We absorbed a major revenue loss to act ethically.
For Bleckley County: That crisis didn’t affect Georgia directly, but it showed our character. When legal ambiguity threatens customers, we choose safety over sales.
The October 2022 Feature: Personal Conviction History
ABC13 revealed Colin has a personal marijuana conviction history. He said: “You face challenges with housing, loans, and banking, I mean with about everything. I would love to see people not get hurt for this anymore.”
For Bleckley County: This transforms everything else we say. We’re not corporate outsiders. We know what it’s like to have the system fail you. That’s why we built a company that operates with integrity.
Overstatements to Avoid: Keeping Bleckley County Safe
We need to address the bad information floating around Facebook groups and word-of-mouth in rural Georgia:
-
❌ “CBN is a proven sleep aid.”
✅ Truth: The evidence is weak. No validated human trials [16][17]. -
❌ “Myrcene will make you sleepy.”
✅ Truth: Preclinical only. No solid human proof [23]. -
❌ “Terpenes have proven entourage effects.”
✅ Truth: Plausible, but robust clinical proof is limited [20][29]. -
❌ “THCa is always non-psychoactive.”
✅ Truth: It converts to THC when heated or stored long-term [12]. -
❌ “Delta-8 is safe because it’s hemp-derived.”
✅ Truth: It’s psychoactive with real safety concerns [9]-[11].
For Bleckley County: If someone at the feed store or church is making these claims, they’re overstating. We won’t do that to you.
References: The Foundation of Our Claims
We cite 35 total sources in this document:
- 6 Rick Simpson-specific sources — primary documents, documentary, peer-reviewed cancer research reviews
- 29 peer-reviewed cannabinoid studies [1-29] — human trials, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, NIH/NCCIH institutional positions
For Bleckley County: Most cannabis companies cite zero sources. We cite 35 because you deserve to know where our information comes from. If you want to read the original studies, contact us and we’ll send you the PDFs.
