What Is Rick Simpson Oil (RSO)?

The Origin Story: A Man, a Dog, and a Movement

Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) is named after Rick Simpson, a Canadian power engineer who, in the early 2000s, claimed that concentrated cannabis oil helped him recover from skin cancer. While his story is personal and not medically verified, it sparked a global movement—one that led to the creation of high-potency cannabis extracts now used by thousands for wellness support.

Simpson’s original method involved:
✔ Using high-THC cannabis strains (mostly indica)
✔ Extracting with naphtha or isopropyl alcohol (a risky, non-food-grade solvent)
✔ Producing a thick, black, tar-like oil with no lab testing or standardization

While Simpson’s intentions were noble—he gave his oil away for free to cancer patients—his method had major limitations:
❌ No lab testing (contamination risk)
❌ No cannabinoid control (every batch was different)
❌ No terpenes (lost during high-heat extraction)
❌ Extremely high THC doses (600-900mg/day—far above clinical recommendations)

How OilWell’s RSO Is Different

At OilWell, we respect Simpson’s legacy but improve upon it. Our RSO is:
✔ Lab-tested (no solvents, heavy metals, or pesticides)
✔ Multi-cannabinoid (7 cannabinoids + 7 terpenes for the “entourage effect”)
✔ Patient-controlled potency (use it raw for non-psychoactive benefits or decarb for full strength)
✔ Two formats (sublingual oil for long-lasting relief, vape for fast action)

The Science Behind OilWell’s RSO Formula

Why 7 Cannabinoids? The Entourage Effect

Most cannabis products focus on just CBD or THC. But at OilWell, we’ve spent years studying how multiple cannabinoids work together—what scientists call the “entourage effect.”

Our RSO contains:

1. CBD (4,500mg) – Supports relaxation, pain relief, and anxiety without intoxication.
2. CBG (3,000mg) – Known as the “mother cannabinoid,” it may support gut health and inflammation.
3. Delta-8 THC (6,000mg) – A milder, legal alternative to Delta-9 with pain-relieving and anti-nausea effects.
4. THCa (1,500mg) – The raw, non-psychoactive form of THC with potential anti-inflammatory benefits.
5. Delta-9 THC (90mg) – The most well-known cannabinoid, but in Farm Bill-compliant amounts (under 0.3%).
6. CBN (750mg) – Often called the “sleep cannabinoid” for its sedative properties.
7. CBC (750mg) – May support brain health and pain relief.

Why does this matter for Calhoun County?

• Farmers & laborers dealing with chronic pain get multi-pathway relief (CBD + CBG + THCa).
• Veterans with PTSD benefit from CBG’s neuroprotective effects and CBD’s anxiety support.
• Seniors with arthritis find THCa’s anti-inflammatory properties without the high.

The Role of Terpenes: More Than Just Flavor

Terpenes are the aromatic compounds in cannabis that give it its smell and taste. But they also enhance the effects of cannabinoids.

Our RSO includes 7 terpenes, each with unique benefits:

• Limonene (citrus) – Mood-boosting and stress-relieving.
• Myrcene (earthy) – Relaxing, may aid sleep.
• Caryophyllene (peppery) – The only terpene that acts like a cannabinoid (binds to CB2 receptors).
• Pinene (pine) – May improve focus and memory.
• Linalool (lavender) – Calming, often used for anxiety.
• Humulene (hoppy) – Anti-inflammatory, may suppress appetite.
• Terpinolene (herbal) – Uplifting, may have antioxidant properties.

For Calhoun County residents:

• If you’re using RSO for sleep, the myrcene + linalool combo may help.
• If you need pain relief, caryophyllene + humulene work on inflammation.
• If you want daytime use without impairment, limonene + pinene keep you clear-headed.

Is RSO Legal in Calhoun County?

Federal & Iowa Hemp Laws

✅ Yes, OilWell’s RSO is legal in Iowa under the 2018 Farm Bill, which allows hemp-derived products with less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC.

Our sublingual oil contains:

• Only 90mg Delta-9 THC (0.3% of total cannabinoids)
• 1,500mg THCa (non-psychoactive until heated)

What does this mean for Calhoun County?

• You can order online and have it shipped to your door.
• No medical card is required (just be 21+).

⚠️ Important note:

• This is legal at the federal level (since decarb happens after purchase), but always check local laws.

Who in Calhoun County Is Using RSO?

1. Farmers & Laborers with Chronic Pain

John’s Story (Rockwell City, IA)
