Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Boyd County, Kentucky: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis

If you’re in Boyd County, Kentucky—maybe in Ashland where the Ohio River curves through our hills, or out past Cannonsburg toward the West Virginia line—you’ve probably heard whispers about Rick Simpson Oil. Maybe a neighbor fighting cancer mentioned it at the Methodist church. Maybe a veteran at the AMVETS post talked about using cannabis oil for pain. Maybe you’re one of the thousands in our Appalachian community dealing with chronic pain, sleep that won’t come, or the heavy weight of PTSD, and you’ve been searching for options when pills just don’t cut it anymore.

We get it. We’re OilWell Cannabis, and we created this guide specifically for Boyd County residents because we know the landscape here—both the actual rolling hills and the healthcare challenges that come with living in northeastern Kentucky. We know King’s Daughters Medical Center is doing its best but can’t always help everyone. We know the opioid crisis has hit our region harder than most. We know that when you’re dealing with chronic pain, cancer, or trauma, you need honest information, not hype. And we know that in Boyd County, where legal cannabis options are limited and trust is earned slowly, you deserve the full story.

This is that story—the most comprehensive RSO guide ever written for Boyd County. No shortcuts. No snake oil. Just the truth about Rick Simpson’s legacy, what modern science actually shows, and how our multi-cannabinoid formulas might help you decide what’s right for your situation.

Understanding Rick Simpson Oil: What Boyd County Needs to Know

Who Was Rick Simpson?

Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor. He wasn’t a scientist. He was a power engineer from Nova Scotia—a blue-collar tradesman, not so different from the folks who built our steel industry here in Boyd County. In 1997, he suffered a serious head injury in a scaffolding fall that left him with tinnitus and pain that wouldn’t quit. The medications doctors prescribed either didn’t help or made things worse. Sound familiar? We hear this story every day from people in Ashland, Catlettsburg, and throughout Boyd County who’ve been let down by conventional medicine.

When Simpson asked his doctor about cannabis, the doctor refused to consider it. So Simpson did his own research. He discovered a 1974 NIH-funded study from the Medical College of Virginia that found THC could slow tumor growth in mice. That study—never replicated in humans—became his inspiration.

The pivotal moment came in 2003 when Simpson claimed that cannabis oil he’d made removed three bumps on his arm that he’d been told were basal cell carcinoma. He applied the oil, covered it with bandages, and said the bumps disappeared in four days. Important context: No independent medical verification exists. No biopsy. No peer-reviewed documentation. This is Simpson’s personal testimony, not medical evidence . But it was historically significant—it launched a global movement.

The Traditional RSO Protocol: 60 Grams in 90 Days

Simpson developed a specific regimen that many in Boyd County have encountered online: consuming 60 grams of oil over approximately 90 days. Here’s exactly what that protocol looked like:

Week 1: Start with a dose the size of half a grain of rice—about 10-15mg of oil—taken three times daily. That’s roughly 30-45mg total per day.

Weeks 2-5: Double the dose every four days to build tolerance. By week five, the goal is reaching 1 gram (1,000mg) of oil per day, divided into three doses of about 333mg each.

Weeks 5-12: Maintain that 1 gram daily dose until all 60 grams are consumed.

Simpson recommended taking it orally (sublingual or swallowed) for systemic conditions, or topically for skin issues. He warned that the psychoactive effects would be intense at first but said patients would develop tolerance within 3-4 weeks. He advised nighttime dosing initially and explicitly warned against driving during the titration period.

Why We Tell Boyd County Residents to Be Careful With This Protocol

Here’s the part many RSO advocates won’t tell you: Simpson’s protocol has never been validated in human clinical trials. No randomized controlled studies. No cohort research. Not even well-documented case series .

Critical context for Boyd County:

• The protocol delivers 600-900mg of delta-9 THC daily at peak dosing. For perspective, the FDA-approved synthetic THC drug dronabinol is typically dosed at 2.5-20mg per day. That’s 30 to 360 times less than Simpson’s protocol.
• At those doses, you’re looking at serious risks: severe intoxication, anxiety, panic, tachycardia, hypotension, and cannabis use disorder [1][13][14][15].
• The oil was crude and unstandardized. Every batch was different because it depended on the starting plant material, which varied by season and grower.
• Traditional RSO used naphtha or isopropyl alcohol—neither food-grade. Naphtha may contain benzene and toluene. Without lab testing (which didn’t exist then), you couldn’t verify if residual solvents remained.
• The heating process destroyed virtually all terpenes, which we’re now learning play important roles in the cannabis experience.

For our neighbors in Boyd County dealing with cancer treatment at King’s Daughters or traveling to Cabell Huntington Hospital in West Virginia: Using an unregulated, untested oil at these doses—especially in place of proven oncologic therapies—carries real harm potential. Delayed treatment for treatable cancers is a documented concern in alternative medicine literature.

What Simpson got right: He drew attention to cannabinoids when the world was ignoring them. He created the conditions for the legal cannabis industry we have today. The term “RSO” remains the most recognized name for full-spectrum cannabis extract. His contributions are real and historically significant, even if his specific claims exceeded the evidence.

About OilWell Cannabis: Built from Suffering, Not Corporate Planning

From the Borderplex to Boyd County

OilWell Cannabis was founded by Colin Valencia in Houston, Texas. But Colin’s story starts 350 miles away in McAllen, Texas—right across the Rio Grande from Reynosa, Tamaulipas, one of the most dangerous border regions in North America. He grew up in an environment most folks in Boyd County can hardly imagine: poverty, cartel violence, friends killed or imprisoned. By sixteen, he had to leave home for good.

Despite the dangers, Colin chose cannabis over darker paths. He learned the plant intimately in the traditional pre-legalization world, then became a formally trained software engineer doing custom development for Baylor College of Medicine—one of the most prestigious medical institutions in the Texas Medical Center. That combination of deep plant knowledge and medical-grade technical precision is what makes OilWell different.

Bentley: The Dog Who Started Everything

Our company didn’t begin with a business plan. It began with a dog.

Bentley was more than a pet—he was family. When veterinarians told Colin that Bentley was paralyzed and euthanasia was the only humane option, Colin refused to accept it. They said pain medications would destroy Bentley’s organs. The choice was painful decline or immediate death.

In desperation, a rescue worker named Jessica asked Colin: “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and you’ve never heard of CBD?”

That question changed everything. Colin learned to create CBD golden paste—a specialized cannabinoid formula for pets. The results? Bentley got up, walked over, and brought Colin his ball to play. Dogs don’t respond to placebo. This was real.

Bentley lived another ten years, dying naturally at age twenty. During those years, Colin developed specialized formulas for every age-related condition Bentley faced:

• Neurodegeneration → CBG’s neuroprotective properties and THCa’s PPARγ agonism for brain cell protection
• Dementia → CBC’s role in neurogenesis
• Glaucoma → THC’s CB1 agonism for intraocular pressure
• Crippling arthritis → Multi-pathway anti-inflammation using CBD, CBG, THCa, and beta-caryophyllene working through different receptor systems simultaneously

Single cannabinoids weren’t enough. Bentley’s evolving conditions required multi-cannabinoid synergy. That decade of loving experimentation—keeping a family member alive—became the foundation for the RSO formula we’re now sharing with Boyd County.

Colin’s Personal Battle: PTSD and Benzo Addiction

Colin knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He struggled with severe PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction. When he decided to quit Xanax cold turkey—a notoriously difficult and dangerous feat—he used 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 insomnia and severe PTSD. This isn’t theoretical knowledge. Colin lived what RSO patients live: desperation for relief, failed pharmaceuticals, the discovery that cannabinoids work when pills don’t.

OilWell’s Philosophy: Four Core Principles for Boyd County

Our RSO isn’t traditional RSO. It’s informed by Simpson’s tradition but deliberately different in ways that solve the problems his original vision couldn’t address:

1. Accessibility Over Gatekeeping
   No medical card required. Anyone 21+ can purchase. We ship nationwide, including right here to Boyd County, Kentucky. While Kentucky doesn’t yet have a comprehensive medical cannabis program like neighboring Ohio, our Farm Bill-compliant products are legal to order and possess. Simpson believed medicine should be accessible; we built a distribution model that makes that possible legally.

2. Patient-Controlled Potency
   Our sublingual oil contains 1,500mg of THCa in its raw, non-psychoactive form. You decide whether to use it raw for daytime anti-inflammatory benefits without impairment, or heat it at home to convert THCa to delta-9 THC for full psychoactive potency. For Boyd County residents who work at AK Steel, drive trucks on Route 60, or care for grandkids during the day, this control is essential. Simpson believed patients should control their medicine; we engineered a product that puts that control in your hands through chemistry.

3. Open-Source Formulas
   We publish our complete formulas publicly—every cannabinoid, every milligram. If $129.99 for our sublingual oil or $49.99 for our vape cartridge doesn’t fit your budget, you can source the individual ingredients and make your own. We know economic times are tough in Boyd County. This is our commitment to the same free-access ethos Simpson championed, adapted for the modern cannabinoid marketplace.

4. Evidence-Informed, Not Evidence-Overstating
   The research citations throughout this guide represent our commitment to honest education. Simpson operated without access to peer-reviewed literature. We have that access, and we use it to distinguish between what’s well-supported, what’s emerging, and what’s overstated. For Boyd County’s science-minded residents—maybe teachers at Boyd County High School or healthcare workers at Our Lady of Bellefonte—we’re giving you the actual science, not marketing fluff.

The Legal Framework: What Boyd County Residents Must Know

Farm Bill Compliance and Kentucky Law

The 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight at the federal level. Here’s what that means for you in Boyd County:

Our RSO Sublingual Oil contains only 90mg of delta-9 THC in the entire 30mL bottle—that’s 3mg per mL, well under the 0.3% threshold. All cannabinoids are hemp-derived. This product is legal under federal law and in Kentucky.

THCa Distinction: THCa is the acidic, non-psychoactive precursor to THC. It is not delta-9 THC. This is legally significant: THCa is Farm Bill compliant at the point of sale because it hasn’t been converted.

Customer Responsibility: THCa converts to delta-9 THC when heated at 260°F for 45-60 minutes. If you choose to decarboxylate, you’re creating approximately 1,315mg of additional delta-9 THC, bringing the total to about 1,405mg. This conversion happens in your home, at your discretion. You are responsible for understanding and complying with Kentucky law regarding possession and use of activated THC products. We provide full documentation, COAs, and receipts with every order.

Kentucky Context: Kentucky currently has no adult-use cannabis program and a very limited medical program that doesn’t serve most patients. Our Farm Bill-compliant products fill a critical access gap for Boyd County residents who would otherwise have to drive to Ohio’s dispensaries or access the illegal market. We ship directly to your door in Ashland, Catlettsburg, or anywhere in Boyd County.

Our RSO Formulas: Transparent and Complete

RSO Sublingual Oil – $129.99

• Live Terpenes: 5% (limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene, linalool, humulene, terpinolene)
• Base: Organic MCT oil
• Dosing: Graduated dropper with 0.1mL increments
• Onset: 15-45 minutes (sublingual)
• Duration: 4-6 hours
• Supply: Approximately 40-60 doses per bottle

For Boyd County residents managing chronic pain while working at the steel mill or caring for family, the raw THCa option lets you stay functional during the day. Take it sublingually in the morning for anti-inflammatory support without impairment. For nighttime, decarboxylate a separate portion and get the full-spectrum relief that helps you rest.

RSO Vape Cartridge – $49.99

• Live Terpenes: 5%+
• Compatibility: 510-thread (works with standard vape batteries available locally)
• Onset: 1-2 minutes (fastest relief available)
• Duration: 2-4 hours
• Best for: Breakthrough pain, acute anxiety, nausea episodes

When you need immediate relief—whether it’s a sudden pain flare-up while working in the garage or anxiety that hits before a doctor’s appointment at King’s Daughters—the vape delivers in under two minutes.

Terpene Profile: The Boyd County Experience

Both products contain the same seven live terpenes, creating a sensory experience rooted in nature:

• Limonene – Bright citrus notes that may elevate mood (think of cutting into a fresh lemon from the Catlettsburg Farmers Market)
• Myrcene – Earthy, musky undertones for relaxation (like walking through the woods behind your property in Cannonsburg)
• Caryophyllene – Peppery spice that activates CB2 receptors, supporting inflammation response (like black pepper from your kitchen)
• Pinene – Fresh pine scent that may help with focus (reminiscent of the Daniel Boone National Forest nearby)
• Linalool – Floral lavender notes for calm (soothing as a warm bath after a long day)
• Humulene – Woody, earthy tones (like the smell of fresh-cut lumber)
• Terpinolene – Complex piney-fruity finish (sparkling, like our local apple cider)

These terpenes aren’t just for smell—they’re part of the entourage effect that makes whole-plant medicine more than the sum of its parts.

When to Use Each Format: Boyd County Scenarios

Condition-Specific Guidance for Boyd County Residents

Important Disclaimer: These usage contexts are informed by cannabinoid research cited throughout this guide and by our formulation rationale. They are NOT medical prescriptions, NOT FDA-approved treatment protocols, and NOT a substitute for professional medical care. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider 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.

Cancer Support Context

We know many Boyd County residents are battling cancer—maybe lung cancer from industrial exposure, or other forms requiring treatment at King’s Daughters or trips to UK Markey Cancer Center in Lexington. Our formula contains:

• Delta-8 THC (6,000mg): Anti-nausea properties to help with chemotherapy [9]
• Delta-9 THC (90mg total): At 3mg/mL, supports appetite without overwhelming psychoactivity [1][13]
• CBD (4,500mg): Anxiolytic effects to buffer the stress of treatment [3]
• CBN (750mg): Sleep support when pain keeps you awake [16][17]

Suggested approach: 0.5-1.0mL sublingual one hour before chemo. For breakthrough nausea, use 2-3 vape puffs. For post-treatment, 0.5mL every 6 hours as needed. For sleep, 1-2mL before bed delivers 25-50mg CBN.

Critical: This is supportive care, not cancer treatment. Do not delay or replace proven oncologic therapies. Boyd County has excellent oncologists—work with them.

Chronic Pain (Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Neuropathy)

Boyd County’s industrial heritage means many residents live with chronic pain—backs from mining work, joints from factory jobs, nerve pain from injuries. Our multi-cannabinoid approach targets pain through multiple pathways:

• CBD (150mg per 0.5mL): Modulates pain signaling [4]
• Delta-8 THC (100mg per 0.5mL): Analgesic effects [9]
• Beta-caryophyllene (in terpene profile): CB2 agonism reduces inflammation [24]
• THCa (25mg per 0.5mL raw): COX-2 inhibition [12]

Daytime approach: 0.3-0.5mL raw sublingual for functional relief without impairment.

Nighttime approach: 0.5-1.0mL decarboxylated sublingual—adds activated THC for stronger relief plus CBN for sleep.

Breakthrough: Vape as needed for rapid onset.

Sleep Support

Insomnia plagues too many in Boyd County—whether it’s shift work at the chemical plants, stress from economic uncertainty, or PTSD. Our formula delivers:

• CBN at 25mg per 1mL, above the threshold associated with reduced sleep disturbance in research [16][17]
• CBD to calm racing thoughts [3]
• Linalool and myrcene terpenes for relaxation

Before bed: 1-2mL sublingual delivers the studied CBN dosage range.

Anxiety and Stress

Living in a region with economic challenges creates real stress. Our formula offers:

• CBD (150mg per 0.5mL): Anxiolytic effects [3]
• CBG (100mg per 0.5mL): Emerging research on anxiety pathways [7][8]
• Limonene terpene: Mood elevation [20][21]
• Linalool terpene: Calming effects [25][26]

Daytime functional relief: 0.3mL raw sublingual for clarity without impairment.

Our Media Recognition: Third-Party Validation Boyd County Can Trust

Between 2019 and 2023, ABC13 Houston—America’s fourth-largest city’s #1 news source—featured Colin Valencia and OilWell Cannabis in seven distinct news segments. Five different reporters sought us out for our expertise across business, law, medicine, community health, and politics.

What this means for Boyd County: When a major-market ABC affiliate repeatedly turns to the same source, it’s not marketing—it’s earned credibility. These features are editorially controlled, independently produced news segments that documented our consistency, community action, and expertise.

Featured Stories That Matter to Boyd County:

September 2019: “Texas CBD businesses booming”
Colin’s foundational quote: “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.”

October 2021: When Texas banned Delta-8 overnight, we proactively removed all products before enforcement and warned other operators who were unknowingly shipping Schedule I narcotics. That’s the kind of ethical leadership Boyd County residents can trust.

October 2022: President Biden announced marijuana pardons. ABC13 revealed that Colin has a personal marijuana conviction history. This transforms everything—every quote about therapy, about education, about not selling snake oil carries more weight when you know the person saying it has lived the consequences of failed cannabis policy.

August 2021: We gave away $35,000 worth of product (1,000 caviar pre-rolls) to encourage COVID-19 vaccination, coordinating with the City of Houston. No political strings. Just community health.

April 2023: Our most recent feature positioned us as industry leaders, with Colin explaining that we’re in a “Renaissance” moment for hemp. For Boyd County, that means legal access to products that were unimaginable a decade ago.

The Evidence Behind Every Compound: For Boyd County’s Research-Minded

We promised no snake oil. Here’s the science—straight from peer-reviewed literature.

Cannabinoid Evidence Hierarchy

Strongest Human Evidence:

• CBD: Best supporting evidence for rare epilepsies, anxiety (2024 meta-analysis of 316 participants), and pain modulation [1][2][3][4]
• Delta-9 THC: Established for chemotherapy nausea, appetite, and some chronic pain contexts [1][13]

Emerging Evidence:

• CBG: 2024 Washington State University study showed 20mg significantly reduced anxiety at 20, 45, and 60 minutes post-ingestion
• Delta-8 THC: Pharmacologically similar to delta-9 but less potent; anti-nausea properties established [9]
• CBC: 2024 review highlights distinct pharmacodynamics and neuroprotective potential [18]

Preclinical Promise:

• THCa: COX-2 inhibition for inflammation, PPARγ agonism for neuroprotection [12]
• CBN: Limited clinical evidence for sleep despite marketing claims [16][17]

All compounds are linked to specific citations throughout this document. We reference 29+ peer-reviewed sources because Boyd County deserves better than internet rumors.

Terpene Science: The Flavor of Medicine

Our 5% live terpene profile includes:

• Limonene: Citrus-bright mood elevation (preclinical antioxidant/anti-inflammatory) [21]
• Myrcene: Earthy relaxation (preclinical anxiolytic) [23]
• Caryophyllene: Unique CB2 agonist (direct cannabinoid system interaction) [24]
• Pinene: Forest-fresh clarity (preclinical neuroprotective) [25]
• Linalool: Floral calm (preclinical antidepressant mechanisms) [26]
• Humulene: Woody anti-inflammatory (preclinical cannabimimetic properties) [27]
• Terpinolene: Complex piney-fruity notes (early-stage research) [28]

Important: Terpene claims require strict interpretation. While bioactivity is plausible, robust human clinical proof of cannabis-specific entourage effects remains limited [20][29]. We include them for the full-spectrum experience and their scientific plausibility, not as miracle ingredients.

Addressing Boyd County’s Specific Concerns

“Will This Show Up on a Drug Test?”

Honest answer: It depends on how you use it.

• Raw sublingual (THCa not heated): THCa itself doesn’t trigger standard drug tests. However, if the product has been stored warm or partially decarboxylated, trace delta-9 THC could appear.
• Decarboxylated or vaped: The converted delta-9 THC and existing delta-8 THC will cause you to fail a drug test.

For Boyd County workers: If you’re subject to workplace testing (AK Steel, healthcare facilities, CDL drivers), use the raw form only or abstain. We don’t hide this reality.

“Is This Legal in Boyd County?”

Yes, at purchase. Our products contain less than 0.3% delta-9 THC, making them hemp-derived and Farm Bill compliant. Kentucky law aligns with federal law on this.

After you decarboxylate: You’re converting THCa to delta-9 THC. Kentucky has no legal provision for recreational THC possession. The legal risk becomes yours. We provide documentation, but we cannot shield you from state law if you choose to activate the THCa.

Our position: We’re transparent about this because Boyd County residents deserve to make informed decisions. Many of you are veterans, cancer patients, or chronic pain sufferers who’ve been failed by the system. We give you the tools; you decide your path.

“Why Is This Better Than What I Can Get in Ohio or West Virginia?”

If you have an Ohio medical card: Ohio dispensaries offer medical-grade products but require residency, qualifying conditions, and card fees. Our products:

• Don’t require medical certification
• Ship directly to your Kentucky address
• Offer patient-controlled potency (non-psychoactive option)
• Provide seven cannabinoids vs. typically 1-2 at dispensaries
• Cost less than most dispensary RSO (30mL at 553mg/mL for $129.99)

If you don’t have a medical card: Our products are your only legal access point without traveling to Michigan’s recreational market (5+ hours away).

“Can I Make This Myself?”

Absolutely. That’s the point of open-source. Here’s the formula again:

RSO Sublingual Oil Formula:

• 4,500mg CBD
• 3,000mg CBG
• 6,000mg Delta-8 THC
• 1,500mg THCa
• 90mg Delta-9 THC
• 750mg CBN
• 750mg CBC
• 5% live terpenes in organic MCT oil
• 30mL total (553mg/mL)

If you can source these ingredients, mix them. Just understand that without third-party testing, you won’t know your exact concentrations. Our $129.99 price reflects the cost of pharmaceutical-grade distillates, lab testing for potency and contaminants, and the convenience of a ready-to-use product.

Frequently Asked Questions for Boyd County

Q: I’m a veteran in Boyd County with PTSD. Will this help?
A: Many veterans report relief with our multi-cannabinoid approach. The Peace Gummies formula (available separately) was created during Colin’s own benzo withdrawal. For PTSD, we suggest starting with 0.3mL raw sublingual during the day for calm without impairment, and 1-2mL decarboxylated at night for sleep. The vape works for acute anxiety episodes. Always coordinate with your VA healthcare provider.

Q: My neighbor’s wife has cancer and is struggling with chemo side effects. Can I share this with them?
A: We appreciate the Boyd County community spirit—neighbors helping neighbors. Direct them to this guide and our website. We can ship directly to them with full documentation. Remind them this is supportive care, not cancer treatment, and they should discuss it with their oncologist at King’s Daughters or wherever they’re receiving treatment.

Q: I’m on probation in Boyd County. Can I legally use this?
A: Our product is Farm Bill compliant at purchase. However, probation terms vary. Some require complete THC abstinence, including hemp products. We advise checking with your probation officer before ordering. We cannot provide legal advice for your specific situation.

Q: How long does shipping take to Ashland?
A: USPS Priority Mail typically reaches Boyd County in 2-3 business days from Houston. We ship within 24 hours of order (Monday-Saturday).

Q: What if it doesn’t work for me?
A: We have a satisfaction guarantee. Contact us at (832) 416-2816 or [email protected]. We’ll work with you—maybe adjusting dosing, trying a different format, or processing a return. We want Boyd County residents to find what works for them, even if it’s not our product.

Q: I’m a senior on fixed income in Boyd County. The price is high for me.
A: We understand. That’s why we published the open-source formula. You can make it yourself for less. Also, contact us about our compassionate pricing program for seniors, veterans, and disabled individuals—we can often provide discounts.

The Bottom Line for Boyd County

We’re not here to sell you hope. We’re here to give you 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.
