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

Here on Florida’s Space Coast, we’re known for pushing boundaries—whether it’s launching rockets from Kennedy or pioneering new ways to support our health. But when you’re dealing with chronic pain that keeps you off our beautiful beaches, cancer treatments that leave you exhausted, or PTSD that makes it hard to enjoy a sunset over the Indian River, you need solutions grounded in science, not just hope.

That’s why we at OilWell Cannabis created our Rick Simpson Oil formulas. We’re not here to sell you snake oil or false promises. We’re here to give you the most complete RSO education available anywhere—especially for our friends and neighbors here in Brevard County—so you can make an informed decision about whether this is right for you.

This guide is comprehensive because you deserve nothing less. Whether you’re a cancer patient in Melbourne, a veteran in Cocoa Beach dealing with PTSD, a senior in Viera managing arthritis, or a caregiver in Titusville looking for options—we’re going to walk through everything, from the history of RSO to the exact chemistry in every bottle, so you understand exactly what you’re getting and why it matters.

Understanding Rick Simpson Oil: The History Brevard County Needs to Know

Who Was Rick Simpson, Really?

Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor or scientist. He was a power engineer from Amherst, Nova Scotia—a blue-collar tradesman who, like many of us here on the Space Coast, knew how to work with his hands and trusted practical experience over promises.

In 1997, while working at a hospital in Moncton, Simpson fell from scaffolding and suffered a serious head injury. The aftermath—persistent tinnitus, dizziness, post-concussion symptoms—was devastating. The medications doctors prescribed either didn’t help or made things worse. When cannabis provided relief but his physician refused to discuss it, Simpson’s distrust of the medical system grew .

His pivotal moment came in 2003. After reading about a 1974 NIH-funded study at the Medical College of Virginia—where THC appeared to slow tumors in mice (though never replicated in human trials)—Simpson applied concentrated cannabis oil to three bumps on his arm that his doctor had diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma. According to his personal testimony, the lesions disappeared in four days. No biopsy, no clinical documentation, no peer-reviewed study—just his account .

Important context for Brevard County readers: What Simpson experienced is a personal story, not medical proof. But that story launched a global movement. Here in Brevard County, where we have some of the highest skin cancer rates in Florida due to our year-round sun, we understand why this narrative resonates. Still, we must be clear: anecdotal evidence is not clinical evidence.

The Crude Oil That Changed Everything

After his 2003 experience, Simpson began producing concentrated cannabis oil in Maccan, Nova Scotia, giving it away for free to cancer patients and others. He claimed to help people with cancer, chronic pain, diabetes, infections, glaucoma, arthritis, depression, insomnia—conditions that affect thousands of families right here in Brevard County .

His 2005 documentary Run From The Cure spread his story globally. Within cannabis communities, it was foundational—many people first learned about concentrated cannabis oil from that film. But Simpson’s advocacy brought him into direct conflict with Canadian law. The RCMP raided his property in 2005 and 2009. He was charged with cultivation, possession, and trafficking. Eventually, facing continued legal pressure, he left Canada for Europe .

Traditional RSO: What It Actually Was

Traditional RSO wasn’t a standardized medicine—it was a crude extract defined by Simpson’s specific method:

• Source material: Single high-THC indica strain, no standardization. Every batch varied based on whatever plant material was available.
• Extraction solvent: Naphtha or 99% isopropyl alcohol—neither food-grade. Naphtha is a petroleum-based solvent that may contain benzene and toluene, known carcinogens. Residual solvent risk was significant .
• Extraction process: Plant material soaked in solvent, filtered, then evaporated in a rice cooker at high heat. This destroyed terpenes and decarboxylated all THCa into THC.
• Appearance: Nearly black, tar-like oil with possible solvent-residual odor.
• Cannabinoid profile: 60-90% THC-dominant, uncontrolled, unmeasured, never lab-verified. Minor cannabinoids existed at natural ratios but were not targeted.
• Terpene content: Minimal to none—destroyed by solvent and heat.
• Standardization: None. No Certificate of Analysis, no potency testing, no contaminant screening.

Why this matters for Brevard County: If you’ve seen “RSO” at a local dispensary or online, you need to know that most products bearing that name today bear little resemblance to what Simpson actually made. The term has become generic. Simpson himself has been critical of commercial RSO products, believing they betray his free-access ethos .

Yet the modern evolution is not betrayal—it’s improvement. The question is whether that improvement is done with integrity or just for profit.

The Traditional RSO Protocol: Why We Don’t Recommend It for Brevard County Residents

Simpson’s 60-gram, 90-day regimen was designed around crude, unstandardized material. Here’s what it entailed:

The Titration Schedule

• Week 1: Half a grain of rice-sized dose (10-15mg) three times daily
• Weeks 2-5: Double every four days until reaching 1 gram (1,000mg) per day
• Weeks 5-12: Maintain 1 gram daily, divided into three 333mg doses
• Goal: Consume 60 grams total over approximately 90 days
• Maintenance: After protocol, 1-2 grams monthly indefinitely

The Problems With This Protocol

1. No controlled trial validation. Not a single published randomized controlled trial supports this specific protocol for any cancer type or condition.
2. Crude, unstandardized material. The 60-gram quantity assumes unknown potency. Traditional RSO varied from 60-90% THC, meaning patients consumed 600-900mg of delta-9 THC daily at peak dosing.
3. Extreme THC exposure. Dronabinol (FDA-approved synthetic THC) is typically dosed at 2.5-20mg per day. Simpson’s protocol delivered 30-180 times that amount.
4. Real risks at these doses: Severe intoxication, anxiety, panic, tachycardia, hypotension, cannabis use disorder, and mental health complications [15].
5. No medical supervision. Patients with active cancer are medically complex. Using unregulated oil as primary treatment—potentially instead of proven therapies—carries genuine harm potential .

Important context for Brevard County’s cancer community: We have world-class cancer treatment at facilities like Melbourne Regional Medical Center and Health First’s Cancer Institute. We understand the desperation that leads people to seek alternatives when conventional medicine falls short. But we cannot in good conscience recommend Simpson’s protocol. The evidence doesn’t support it, and the risks are too high.

Instead, we built something better—something that honors Simpson’s spirit of accessibility while applying modern science and safety standards.

How OilWell’s RSO Formulas Solve the Problems Traditional RSO Couldn’t

OilWell Cannabis was founded by Colin Valencia in Houston, Texas—but our mission extends to every corner of America where people need better options, including right here in Brevard County. Our story doesn’t start in a boardroom. It starts with a dog named Bentley.

Bentley’s Story: The Real-Life R&D That Built Our Formula

Bentley was more than a pet—he was family. When veterinarians told Colin that Bentley was paralyzed and euthanasia was the only humane option, that conventional pain meds would destroy his organs, Colin refused to accept it.

A rescue worker named Jessica asked the question that changed everything: “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and you’ve never heard of CBD?” Colin had cannabis knowledge, but it was recreational—about getting high. He’d never explored the therapeutic applications.

He created a CBD golden paste for Bentley. The result wasn’t a miracle—it was medicine working as intended. Bentley got up, walked over, and brought Colin his ball to play. From paralyzed to playing fetch. 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 reduction
• Arthritis → Multi-pathway anti-inflammatory approaches using CBD, CBG, THCa, and beta-caryophyllene working through different receptor systems simultaneously

Why this matters for Brevard County: We have a large senior population here—retirees who moved to our beautiful coast for their golden years but now face the same age-related conditions Bentley did. The multi-cannabinoid synergy Colin developed keeping Bentley alive is exactly what makes our RSO formula effective for humans dealing with multiple health challenges simultaneously.

From Border Survival to Scientific Precision

Colin’s background shaped OilWell’s integrity. Growing up in McAllen, Texas—right across from Reynosa’s cartel violence—he learned to hustle but chose cannabis over darker paths. He became a software engineer, did custom development for Baylor College of Medicine, and combined that technical precision with deep plant knowledge.

He also knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. Struggling with PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction, Colin quit Xanax cold turkey using the cannabinoid knowledge he’d developed. Our Peace Gummies formula was created during midnight experiments while fighting through benzo withdrawal. To ensure quick relief, we also offer the Peace Gummies formula in a vape form, which Colin personally uses to manage his insomnia and severe PTSD. This isn’t theoretical—he lives what our customers live.

For Brevard County’s veteran community: With Patrick Space Force Base here, many of our neighbors have served and carry the same burdens Colin does. When someone with his background says cannabinoids work when pills don’t, it’s not marketing—it’s survival speaking.

The OilWell RSO Philosophy: Four Core Principles for Brevard County

Our approach isn’t traditional RSO—it’s informed by that tradition but evolved for modern science and safety:

1. Accessibility Over Gatekeeping

In Brevard County, you don’t need a medical marijuana card to access our RSO. Anyone age 21+ can purchase. We ship directly to your door in Melbourne, Palm Bay, Cocoa Beach, Titusville, or anywhere else on the Space Coast.

Compare that to Florida’s medical cannabis program—which requires qualifying conditions, doctor visits, and state registration. Our Farm Bill-compliant formula (under 0.3% delta-9 THC) is legal nationwide and available to Brevard County residents without bureaucratic barriers.

2. Patient-Controlled Potency

Traditional RSO was always psychoactive. Our formula contains 1,500mg of THCa—the acidic, non-psychoactive precursor to THC. You decide:

• Raw (no heat): All THCa stays inactive. Zero impairment. Perfect for daytime use while working at the Space Center, driving along A1A, or caring for family.
• Activated (home decarb): Heat at 260°F for 45-60 minutes converts THCa to ~1,315mg delta-9 THC. Combined with our 90mg existing delta-9 and 6,000mg delta-8, you get full psychoactive potency comparable to traditional illegal RSO—100% legally, because you control the activation.
• Vape (instant): Our RSO Vape Cartridge auto-decarbs at 400-450°F, delivering fresh THC with each puff.

3. Open-Source Formulas

Rick Simpson gave his oil away for free. We honor that spirit by publishing our complete formulas publicly. If you can’t afford our $129.99 sublingual oil or $49.99 vape cartridge, you can see exactly what’s in them, source the ingredients, and make your own version.

We even published the original CBD golden paste recipe that saved Bentley’s life—so any Brevard County pet owner facing a similar crisis can make it themselves:

Bentley’s CBD Golden Paste Recipe:

• 1/2 cup organic turmeric powder
• 1 cup water
• 1/3 cup unrefined organic coconut oil
• 1-2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper (for absorption)
• CBD oil (dosage per pet’s needs; consult your vet)

Mix turmeric and water over low heat until thick paste forms (7-10 minutes). Add coconut oil and pepper. Cool, store in refrigerator for up to two weeks. Mix with food once or twice daily.

This isn’t marketing—it’s our foundation. We give away the knowledge because your health matters more than profit.

4. Evidence-Informed, Not Evidence-Overstating

As Colin told ABC13 in 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.”

Every compound in our formula has a research profile in our GENERAL KNOWLEDGE section. We distinguish between what’s proven (CBD for seizures), what’s emerging (CBG for neuroprotection), and what’s overstated (CBN as a proven sleep cure). You deserve that honesty.

The Science Behind Every Compound: What Brevard County Needs to Know

Our formula contains seven cannabinoids and seven terpenes. Here’s what the evidence actually says:

Cannabinoids: The Core Active Ingredients

CBD (4,500mg in sublingual oil)

• Strongest evidence: Rare epilepsies (FDA-approved Epidiolex) [1][2]
• Emerging evidence: Anxiety (2024 meta-analysis shows significant anxiolytic signal but needs more trials) [3]
• Pain research: Promising but heterogeneous; trial quality still limited [4]
• Sleep: Methodologically weak studies; needs better validation [5]
• Safety: Real signal for liver enzyme elevation; drug interactions possible [6]
• Bottom line for Brevard County: Most evidence-developed non-intoxicating cannabinoid, but strong evidence concentrated in specific indications, not broad wellness claims.

CBG (3,000mg)

• Pharmacology: Biosynthetic precursor with distinct receptor interactions (CB1, CB2, alpha-2 adrenoceptors, 5-HT1A) [7]
• Research areas: Neurologic disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, antibacterial activity—all preclinical [7][8]
• Caution: Commercially sold despite thin evidence base [7]
• Bottom line for Brevard County: Promising minor cannabinoid with limited clinical validation; deserves more research.

Delta-8 THC (6,000mg)

• Pharmacology: Partial CB1 agonist, less potent than delta-9 THC but similar effects [9]
• Safety: Psychoactive, incomplete human safety data, manufacturing quality concerns [10][11]
• Bottom line for Brevard County: Not trivial or mild—real THC analogue with real effects and uncertainties.

THCa (1,500mg)

• What it is: Acidic precursor to THC; non-psychoactive unless heated [12]
• Potential: Anti-inflammatory (COX-2), neuroprotective (PPARγ), antineoplastic—in vitro/rodent only [12]
• Critical for Brevard County: This is your potency control. Keep it raw for daytime; decarb for full strength.

Delta-9 THC (90mg total)

• Established uses: Chemo nausea, HIV/AIDS appetite, some MS/pain symptoms [1][13]
• Risks: At high doses (600-900mg/day in Simpson’s protocol): severe intoxication, anxiety, panic, psychosis, cannabis use disorder [15]
• Our approach: Only 90mg in entire bottle—well under 0.3% Farm Bill limit, yet convertible to ~1,405mg after decarb
• Bottom line for Brevard County: Therapeutic relevance in some settings, but clear intoxication and psychiatric risks at high doses.

CBN (750mg)

• Reputation vs. reality: Marketed as sleep cannabinoid, but clinical evidence is weak [16][17]
• 2021 review: Screened 99 human studies, found no validated sleep trials [16]
• Bottom line for Brevard County: Cultural reputation stronger than data; interesting but not proven.

CBC (750mg)

• Pharmacology: Distinct from THC/CBD; antinociceptive, antibacterial, anti-seizure potential in preclinical studies [18][19]
• Commercial context: Sold despite little clinical efficacy/safety evidence [18]
• Bottom line for Brevard County: Scientifically credible minor cannabinoid needing more research.

Terpenes: The Aromatic Multipliers

Our formula includes 5% live terpenes: limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene, linalool, humulene, and terpinolene. Here’s the honest science:

Limonene (citrus-bright)

• Activities: Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective in non-human studies [21]
• Local connection: Reminds you of Florida’s citrus groves—familiar and uplifting
• Safety: Oxidation products can be contact allergens [22]

Myrcene

• Claims vs. evidence: Often called a sedative, but human proof is lacking [23]
• Reality: Preclinical anxiolytic and anti-inflammatory signals, but needs clinical trials

Caryophyllene (β-caryophyllene – pepper/spice)

• Why it’s special: Selective CB2 receptor agonist—directly interacts with cannabinoid system [24]
• Potential: Anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, gastroprotective in preclinical studies [24]
• Bottom line: Strongest terpene candidate for entourage effects, but still limited human proof

Pinene (forest-fresh)

• Claims: Memory enhancement, attention sharpening
• Evidence: Preclinical antioxidant and anti-inflammatory; human cognition claims are hypotheses [25]

Linalool (floral, lavender)

• Potential: Anxiolytic, antidepressant mechanisms in preclinical models [26]
• Safety: Oxidized forms can cause contact dermatitis [22]

Humulene

• Findings: Anti-inflammatory via CB1 and adenosine A2a pathways in rodents [27]
• Status: Translationally interesting but early

Terpinolene

• Evidence base: Dominated by in silico, in vitro, and animal studies—no human trials [28]

The Entourage Effect Reality Check: While terpene bioactivity is plausible, robust clinical proof of meaningful entourage effects in humans remains limited [20][29]. We include terpenes because the science is promising, not because it’s proven.

General Titration Principle for Brevard County Users

Start low, go slow. Brevard County’s diverse population means individual responses vary based on weight, metabolism, tolerance, and medications.

• Begin with 0.25-0.5mL sublingual
• Assess effects over 2-3 hours before increasing
• Track your response in a journal
• Consult with cannabis-knowledgeable physicians in Brevard County if possible

Legal Compliance for Brevard County, Florida

Farm Bill Compliance

Our RSO Sublingual Oil contains only 90mg delta-9 THC in the entire 30mL bottle—3mg/mL, well under the federal 0.3% limit. All cannabinoids are hemp-derived. This makes it legal under the 2018 Farm Bill and Florida state law.

Florida context: Florida has its own hemp program (Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services). Hemp-derived products with <0.3% delta-9 THC are legal for sale and possession statewide, including Brevard County.

THCa Legal Framework

THCa is not delta-9 THC. At point of sale, our product is Farm Bill compliant. When you decarboxylate at home in your Melbourne kitchen or Cocoa Beach apartment, you convert THCa to THC at your discretion—making the same legal product function as either non-psychoactive medicine or full-potency psychoactive oil.

Florida law: Florida follows federal definitions. THCa in its raw form is not a controlled substance. Your home decarboxylation is a personal processing decision, not a point-of-sale legal issue.

Age Requirement

Must be 21+ to purchase. We verify age on all orders shipped to Brevard County.

Disclaimers

• Not evaluated by FDA
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease
• Individual results may vary
• Customer responsible for compliance with local Brevard County and Florida laws

Why We Do This

Colin’s quote from our first ABC13 feature says it all: “I’m not trying to sell people snake oil… 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.”

For Brevard County residents facing economic challenges—maybe you’re on disability, a fixed income, or dealing with medical debt—this open-source approach means you’re not shut out.

Safety Notes Specific to Brevard County

Florida’s heat and humidity matter for storage:

• Store sublingual oil in refrigerator to prevent THCa decarboxylation
• Keep vape cartridges at room temperature; extreme heat can cause leakage
• Never leave products in your car at the beach or during a Cape Canaveral launch viewing—temperatures can exceed decarboxylation thresholds

Drug interactions: If you’re a Brevard County resident taking medications from Health First or Parrish physicians, consult them first. CBD can interact with blood thinners, seizure meds, and other drugs [1][6].

Mental health: If you have a history of psychosis or severe anxiety, use psychoactive cannabinoids cautiously. Our raw THCa option exists specifically for you.

Driving: Florida has strict DUI laws. Do not drive after decarboxylating your oil until you know your response. Use the raw option if you need to drive to work at the Space Center or along Brevard’s causeways.

Pregnancy: NCCIH advises against cannabis use during pregnancy [1]. If you’re expecting in Brevard County, avoid our psychoactive options.

Media Recognition: Why Houston’s #1 News Source Chose Us

ABC13 KTRK Houston featured Colin and OilWell in seven segments from 2019-2023. Five different reporters—Tom Abrahams, Steve Campion, Shelley Childers, Nick Natario, KTRK Staff—sought us out for:

• CBD business evolution (2019)
• Decriminalization efforts (2021)
• Delta-8 THC investigation (2021)
• COVID vaccine community giveaway (2021)
• Delta-8 ban impact (2021)
• Biden marijuana pardon analysis (2022)
• Texas cannabis law changes (2023)

Key quotes that define us:

“I’m not trying to sell people snake oil… 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.” — September 2019

“Pain comes in a lot of different forms.” — March 2021

“I don’t give a sh* if it’s wrong to say you’ll get high off it. Maybe you want to get high.”* — May 2021 (Delta-8 feature)

“I would love to see people not get hurt for this anymore.” — October 2022 (after revealing personal cannabis conviction)

“Right now is actually a pretty – like Renaissance – pretty important time that should be enjoyed now.” — April 2023

These features weren’t purchased—they were earned through consistent expertise, community action, and radical honesty.

The Evidence Hierarchy: How We Evaluate Claims for Brevard County

Our research method prioritizes:

1. Human clinical evidence (strongest)
2. Systematic reviews & meta-analyses
3. NIH/institutional summaries
4. Preclinical/mechanistic literature (weakest)

This matters because: The evidence base is highly uneven. CBD and delta-9 THC have the strongest human data; delta-8, THCa, CBG, CBN, CBC, and terpenes rely more on preclinical work.

For Brevard County readers: When you see a health claim about cannabis, ask: “Is this based on human trials or animal studies?” Most online RSO content doesn’t make this distinction. We do.

Common Overstatements We Avoid

• CBN as a proven sleep aid → Reality: No validated human trials [16][17]
• Myrcene as a proven sedative → Reality: Limited human proof [23]
• Terpenes having proven entourage effects → Reality: Hypotheses, not settled science [20][29]
• THCa always being non-psychoactive → Reality: Heat converts it to THC [12]
• Delta-8 being safe because it’s hemp-derived → Reality: Psychoactive with safety uncertainties [9]-[11]

How to Choose: Sublingual vs. Vape for Your Brevard County Lifestyle

You’re a busy professional in Melbourne’s tech corridor:

• Daytime: Raw sublingual (no impairment)
• Evening: Small decarbed dose for relaxation

You’re a veteran in Cocoa Beach with PTSD:

• Acute episodes: Vape for 1-2 minute relief
• Sleep: Decarbed sublingual before bed

You’re a senior in Viera with arthritis:

• All day: Raw sublingual for inflammation
• As needed: Vape for breakthrough pain

You’re a caregiver in Titusville:

• Both formats—sublingual for sustained support, vape for emergencies

The Bottom Line for Brevard County

OilWell RSO is not traditional Rick Simpson Oil—it’s the evolution Simpson’s vision deserved but couldn’t achieve with the tools of his era. We’ve taken his core principle (make concentrated cannabis oil accessible) and built it with:

• Modern science: Seven defined cannabinoids, live terpenes, lab testing
• Legal compliance: Farm Bill compliant, ships to Brevard County
• Patient control: You decide psychoactivity with THCa
• Transparency: Open-source formulas, 29 peer-reviewed citations
• Proven integrity: Seven ABC13 features, community action, personal stakes

From the beaches of Cocoa Beach to the communities of Palm Bay, from the aerospace corridors of Melbourne to the historic streets of Titusville—Brevard County residents deserve the same access to thoughtful, evidence-based cannabinoid medicine as anyone in Houston or beyond.

We built this for Bentley. We refined it through Colin’s own suffering. We share it with you because on Florida’s Space Coast, we know that innovation and compassion aren’t opposing forces—they’re the same mission.
