1. What Is Rick Simpson Oil (RSO)? The Truth Behind the Legend

Who Was Rick Simpson?

Rick Simpson was a Canadian power engineer who, in the early 2000s, claimed that cannabis oil cured his skin cancer. He began making and giving away his homemade oil for free, calling it “Phoenix Tears” (later known as RSO). His story spread through the 2005 documentary Run From The Cure, which became a cornerstone of the cannabis-as-medicine movement.

But here’s the critical context:

• Simpson was not a doctor, scientist, or researcher. His evidence was personal testimony, not clinical trials.
• His claims were never medically verified. No biopsies, no peer-reviewed studies—just his word.
• His oil was crude and unsafe by modern standards. He used naphtha (a toxic solvent) and isopropyl alcohol, which can leave harmful residues.
• His dosing protocol (60 grams in 90 days) was extreme. Many patients experienced severe intoxication from the high THC content.

What Simpson got right:

• He challenged the stigma around cannabis at a time when most people dismissed it as “just a drug.”
• He made RSO a household name, paving the way for modern cannabis research.
• He believed in accessibility—giving his oil away for free rather than profiting from it.

Traditional RSO vs. Modern RSO: Why OilWell’s Formula Is Different

Simpson’s original RSO was THC-dominant, untested, and made with dangerous solvents. Today, modern RSO has evolved—safer, more precise, and backed by science.

Bottom line: OilWell’s RSO honors Simpson’s legacy—accessible, potent, and patient-controlled—but eliminates the risks of his original method.

2. Is RSO Legal in Bonneville County, Idaho?

Idaho’s Strict Cannabis Laws

Idaho has some of the strictest cannabis laws in the U.S.:

• Marijuana (delta-9 THC) is illegal in all forms, including medical.
• CBD is legal only if it contains 0% THC (even trace amounts can lead to legal trouble).
• Hemp-derived products must comply with the 2018 Farm Bill (≤0.3% delta-9 THC).

How OilWell’s RSO Stays Legal in Idaho

Our RSO Sublingual Oil contains:

• Only 90mg delta-9 THC per 30mL bottle (0.3% or less by volume—Farm Bill-compliant).
• 1,500mg THCa (non-psychoactive)—the legal loophole that makes high-potency RSO possible.

How it works:

• THCa (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is the raw, non-psychoactive form of THC.
• When heated (decarboxylated), THCa converts to delta-9 THC (~877mg from 1,500mg THCa).
• You control the potency:
  • Raw (non-psychoactive) – Use as-is for daytime pain, inflammation, or anxiety (no “high”).
  • Decarboxylated (psychoactive) – Heat at 260°F for 45-60 minutes to activate THC for nighttime use, sleep, or stronger relief.
  • Vape (instant activation) – Our RSO Vape Cartridge auto-decarbs THCa with each puff (fastest relief).

Legal disclaimer:

• THCa is legal at the point of sale (≤0.3% delta-9 THC).
• Decarboxylation is your responsibility—once heated, the product may exceed Idaho’s THC limits.
• We ship with full documentation (COAs, receipts)—but you must comply with Idaho law.
• Not for sale to minors (21+ only).

Why this matters for Bonneville County:

• No medical card needed (unlike in medical marijuana states).
• No risk of legal trouble when purchased in raw form.
• Full potency available when you need it—just heat it at home.

3. How to Use RSO Safely & Effectively in Bonneville County

Step 1: Choose Your Format

OilWell offers two RSO formats, each designed for different needs:

Which should you choose?

• For chronic pain, sleep, or long-term use → Sublingual Oil (longer-lasting, more precise dosing).
• For acute pain, nausea, or panic attacks → Vape Cartridge (fastest onset).

Step 2: Start Low & Go Slow (Dosing Guide)

General rule: 0.25mL to 0.5mL (140-280mg cannabinoids) to start.

Pro tip for Bonneville County residents:

• If you need to drive, work, or stay clear-headed → Use raw (non-decarbed) oil.
• If you want full potency for sleep or pain relief → Decarboxylate a portion (keep the rest raw for later).
• If you need fast relief → Use the vape cartridge (instant activation).

Step 3: How to Decarboxylate THCa (Activate THC)

What you’ll need:

• Oven-safe glass container (small Pyrex dish works)
• Aluminum foil (to cover)
• Oven (set to 260°F / 125°C)
• Timer

Steps:

1. Measure your dose – Pour 0.5-1.0mL of RSO into the glass container.
2. Cover with foil – Prevents evaporation.
3. Bake at 260°F for 45-60 min – This converts THCa → delta-9 THC.
4. Let cool – The oil will thicken slightly.
5. Use as needed – Now fully activated for psychoactive effects.

Alternative (faster) method:

• Use a vape pen – The RSO Vape Cartridge auto-decarbs THCa with each puff (no oven needed).

4. The Science Behind OilWell’s 7-Cannabinoid, 7-Terpene Formula

Why We Use 7 Cannabinoids (Not Just THC)

Traditional RSO was THC-only, but modern research shows that minor cannabinoids play crucial roles in pain, sleep, inflammation, and mood.

Why this matters for Bonneville County:

• CBD + CBG → Anxiety & inflammation (great for daytime use without impairment).
• Delta-8 + THCa → Nausea & pain (stronger than CBD alone, but less psychoactive than delta-9).
• CBN + THC → Deep sleep (ideal for nighttime use).
• CBC → Long-term brain & joint health (neuroprotective effects).

Why We Include 7 Terpenes (The “Entourage Effect”)

Terpenes are aromatic compounds that enhance cannabinoid effects (a phenomenon called the “entourage effect”). OilWell’s RSO contains:

Why this matters for Bonneville County:

• Limonene + CBD → Anxiety relief (great for daytime stress).
• Myrcene + CBN → Sleep enhancement (helps with insomnia).
• Caryophyllene + THCa → Pain & inflammation (acts on CB2 receptors).
• Pinene + THC → Balances memory impairment (helps with THC-induced fog).

6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for Bonneville County Residents

❓ Will RSO get me high?

• Raw (non-decarbed) RSO → No (THCa is non-psychoactive).
• Decarboxylated RSO → Yes (THCa converts to delta-9 THC).
• Vape cartridge → Yes (auto-decarbs with each puff).

If you need to stay clear-headed (work, driving, parenting), use raw oil.

❓ Will RSO show up on a drug test?

• Raw RSO (THCa only) → Unlikely (standard drug tests look for delta-9 THC).
• Decarboxylated RSO (THC present) → Yes (will trigger a positive test).
• Delta-8 THC → May trigger a test (some tests detect it).

If you’re drug-tested for work, use raw RSO or CBD-only products.

❓ Can RSO cure cancer?

• No. While preclinical studies show that THC and CBD can slow tumor growth in mice , no human clinical trial has proven RSO cures cancer.
• Do not replace chemotherapy or radiation with RSO. Always consult an oncologist.
• RSO can help with cancer-related symptoms (nausea, pain, appetite loss).

❓ Is RSO safe for pets?

• Yes, but in much smaller doses.
• Bentley’s CBD Golden Paste (from our founder’s dog) is a safer option for pets.
