Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Connecticut’s Capitol Planning Region: The Complete Guide to OilWell Cannabis’ Multi-Cannabinoid Formulas

If you’re searching for Rick Simpson Oil in Hartford, West Hartford, New Britain, or anywhere across Connecticut’s Capitol Planning Region, you’ve likely heard the story. You know the legend: a working-class man in Nova Scotia, a head injury, a skin cancer diagnosis, and a homemade cannabis oil that changed everything. Maybe you’re a cancer patient at Hartford Hospital looking for alternatives after chemo left you nauseous and exhausted. Maybe you’re a veteran in Newington struggling with PTSD and the aftereffects of prescription meds that stopped working. Maybe you’re a chronic pain sufferer in Wethersfield who’s been through every opioid, every nerve block, every patch, and you’re still hurting. Or maybe you’re just cannabis-curious, living in the Capitol Planning Region’s suburbs, trying to understand what RSO actually is before you buy anything.

Wherever you’re coming from, we wrote this guide for you. We are OilWell Cannabis, a Houston-based company founded by Colin Valencia — a man who started this journey not in a boardroom, but on his kitchen floor, trying to save his dog Bentley from paralysis and euthanasia. That dog lived ten more years. That formula became our RSO. And now, after seven ABC13 news features, after helping thousands of patients, after navigating every legal twist Texas could throw at us, we’re bringing our RSO to Connecticut’s Capitol Planning Region. Not because we think we know your community better than you do, but because the science behind cannabinoids doesn’t change at state lines — and because the problems you’re facing are the same ones we see in Houston, in McAllen, in every community where conventional medicine falls short.

WHO IS RICK SIMPSON — AND WHY HIS STORY MATTERS IN CONNECTICUT

Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor. He wasn’t a scientist. He was a power engineer from Amherst, Nova Scotia, who got hurt on the job in 1997 and found himself trapped in the same cycle so many people in Connecticut know too well: ineffective prescriptions, dismissive doctors, and a pain that never quite went away. When he asked his physician about cannabis, the answer was no. So he found his own way.

In 2003, Simpson claimed that three bumps on his arm — diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma — disappeared after he applied concentrated cannabis oil and covered them with bandages. No biopsy confirmation. No clinical documentation. No independent medical verification. But that personal testimony became the origin story of Rick Simpson Oil, and it sparked a global movement that reached every corner of North America, including Connecticut.

Important context: We present Simpson’s account exactly as he told it — as personal testimony, not medical evidence. The absence of peer-reviewed documentation means these events cannot be evaluated as clinical proof. But they are historically significant as the catalyst that forced the world to pay attention to concentrated cannabis oil. In Connecticut, where our medical cannabis program has been operating since 2012 and where cancer patients have been qualifying for medical cards for over a decade, Simpson’s story resonates because it mirrors the desperation so many patients feel when conventional oncology runs out of options.

THE TRADITIONAL RSO PROTOCOL — AND WHY WE DON’T RECOMMEND IT FOR CONNECTICUT PATIENTS

Simpson’s original protocol was aggressive: 60 grams of oil over 90 days, titrating up from a half-grain-of-rice-sized dose three times daily to a full gram per day divided into three doses. At peak dosing, patients were consuming roughly 600 to 900 milligrams of delta-9 THC daily — doses far exceeding anything studied in controlled clinical settings.

Important context for evaluating this protocol:

• No controlled trial validation exists for Simpson’s specific 60-gram/90-day regimen
• The protocol assumes crude, unstandardized material with unknown potency
• At 600-900mg delta-9 THC per day, the risks include severe intoxication, anxiety, panic, tachycardia, and cannabis use disorder
• Patients with active cancer are medically complex; using unregulated oil as a primary treatment can cause harm beyond the oil itself

In Connecticut’s Capitol Planning Region, where patients have access to world-class cancer centers like Hartford Hospital’s Helen & Harry Gray Cancer Center and the Smilow Cancer Hospital at Yale-New Haven (just outside our region but serving many of our residents), we strongly advise that RSO should never replace proven oncologic therapies. Simpson’s protocol was designed for a different era — before lab testing, before standardized extraction, before we understood the risks of high-dose THC exposure.

WHAT TRADITIONAL RSO ACTUALLY WAS — THE PRODUCT

Traditional RSO was defined by its method, not its specifications:

• Source material: Single high-THC indica strain, no standardization
• Extraction solvent: Naphtha (petroleum-based) or 99% isopropyl alcohol — neither food-grade
• Appearance: Nearly black, thick, tar-like oil with strong cannabis odor and possible solvent-residual smell
• Cannabinoid profile: THC-dominant (60-90% estimated), fully decarboxylated, with minor cannabinoids at natural ratios but uncontrolled and unmeasured
• Terpene content: Minimal to none — destroyed by high-heat solvent evaporation
• Standardization: None. Every batch was different
• Residual solvent risk: Significant. Naphtha may contain benzene, toluene, and other carcinogens

For Connecticut residents who may have encountered homemade RSO or products from unregulated sources, this safety context is critical. Connecticut’s Department of Consumer Protection mandates strict testing for legal cannabis products, but the underground market operates without those guardrails.

SIMPSON’S CLAIMS VS. THE EVIDENCE RECORD

Simpson claimed RSO could cure cancer and treat diabetes, chronic pain, infections, glaucoma, arthritis, depression, insomnia, and more. We evaluate these claims against the actual evidence:

What Simpson was not: He had no formal medical training, conducted no clinical trials, and published no peer-reviewed research. His evidence was personal testimony and anecdotal reports.

What the preclinical literature shows: In vitro and animal studies demonstrate that THC and CBD can induce apoptosis, inhibit proliferation, and reduce angiogenesis in certain cancer cell lines. Animal models show some tumor-growth inhibition. These findings are scientifically interesting but have not translated into proven human cancer cures.

What the preclinical literature does not show: No human clinical trial has demonstrated that RSO or any cannabis oil cures cancer. The gap between animal results and human outcomes is vast.

Institutional positions:

• National Cancer Institute: Acknowledges anticancer research but does not endorse cannabis as cancer treatment
• FDA: Has not approved any cannabis plant product for cancer
• Health Canada: Never approved RSO for cancer
• NCCIH: Strongest evidence is for rare epilepsies, chemo nausea, and HIV/AIDS appetite — not cancer cure

What Simpson got right: He drew attention to cannabinoids as a serious biomedical research area when the world was ignoring it. He helped create the conditions for the legal cannabis industry. The term “RSO” remains the most recognized name for full-spectrum cannabis extract.

What he overstated: Cancer cure claims exceeded the evidence. Encouraging patients to use RSO instead of proven therapies carries genuine harm potential. Delayed or foregone treatment is a documented concern in alternative medicine.

TRADITIONAL RSO VS. MODERN FORMULATED RSO

The evolution from Simpson’s original oil to modern formulations represents one of the most important advances in cannabis medicine. Here’s how our RSO differs:

Dimension	Traditional RSO	OilWell Formulated RSO
Source material	Single high-THC indica strain	Multi-cannabinoid blend from multiple sources
Extraction method	Naphtha or isopropyl alcohol	Modern food-grade ethanol or CO₂ methods
Cannabinoid profile	THC-dominant (60-90%), uncontrolled	Seven defined cannabinoids at specific ratios
Terpene content	Destroyed by high-heat process	Live terpenes at 5% with defined seven-terpene profile
Standardization	None — every batch different	Lab-tested with specific mg/mL targets (553 mg/mL)
Lab testing	Not available or performed	Full panel testing (potency, terpenes, pesticides, heavy metals, residual solvents, microbial)
Residual solvents	Significant risk with naphtha	Controlled and tested — no solvents in final product
Dosing precision	Approximate, syringe-based	Measured per mL with graduated dropper (0.1 mL increments)
Product formats	Single thick oil only	Sublingual oil and vape cartridge with format-specific formulas
THCa preservation	No — fully decarboxylated by heat	Yes — THCa included as separate ingredient at 1,500 mg
Evidence approach	Anecdotal, personal testimony	Research-backed, evidence-weighted

THE OILWELL RSO PHILOSOPHY: WHY WE BUILT THIS FOR CONNECTICUT

We didn’t start OilWell Cannabis to get rich. We started it because Bentley got up. That dog’s story — paralyzed, facing euthanasia, saved by a CBD golden paste Colin made in his kitchen — is the real origin. But the philosophy that drives us today was forged in McAllen, Texas, where Colin grew up watching friends die or go to prison, where he learned that the system fails people who need help most.

That experience taught us four principles that guide every bottle we ship to Connecticut:

1. Accessibility Over Gatekeeping

Connecticut’s medical cannabis program is one of the more restrictive in the Northeast. Qualifying conditions are limited. The application process takes time. And for residents of the Capitol Planning Region who don’t have a qualifying condition — or who can’t afford the doctor visits and registration fees — medical dispensaries are simply not an option.

Our RSO requires no medical card. Anyone age 21+ in Connecticut can purchase. We ship directly to your door in Hartford, West Hartford, New Britain, Bristol, Manchester, or anywhere else in the Capitol Planning Region. While medical dispensaries like Fine Fettle in Newington or Curaleaf in Hartford serve registered patients, we serve everyone else — and we serve them with a product that contains 16,590 mg of total cannabinoids, more than most medical RSO products available in Connecticut.

2. Patient-Controlled Potency

Traditional RSO is always psychoactive. Once the THCa converts to THC during production, there’s no going back. That doesn’t work for everyone in Connecticut.

Our sublingual oil contains 1,500 mg of THCa in its raw, non-psychoactive form. You decide:

• Daytime office worker in Hartford’s Insurance Row? Use it raw. Zero impairment, zero high, just the anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective benefits of THCa, CBD, and CBG.
• Veteran in Newington with PTSD nightmares? Decarboxylate it at home (260°F for 45-60 minutes) and convert that THCa into approximately 1,315 mg of delta-9 THC. Combined with the existing 90 mg delta-9 and 6,000 mg delta-8, you get full psychoactive potency comparable to traditional illegal RSO — but 100% legally, because the conversion happens after you purchase.
• Patient in West Hartford needing fast relief? Our vape cartridge auto-decarboxylates with each puff at 400-450°F, delivering relief in 1-2 minutes.

This is the most significant legal cannabis access innovation in history — and it’s available right now to Connecticut residents.

3. Open-Source Formulas

Rick Simpson gave his oil away for free. We can’t do that — we have rent, lab testing costs, and employees to pay. But we can do the next best thing: we publish our complete formulas publicly.

The exact milligram amounts, the percentages, the terpene profiles — it’s all in this document. If you can’t afford $129.99 for our sublingual oil, you can source the individual cannabinoid distillates (available from hemp suppliers) and make your own version using our recipe. We’ll even help you find suppliers.

We did the same thing with Bentley’s CBD golden paste recipe. We published it because keeping it secret would have meant dogs dying who didn’t have to. That ethos — that medicine should be accessible, not hoarded — is why we’re the only RSO company in America that gives away its exact formulation.

4. Evidence-Informed, Not Evidence-Overstating

Connecticut residents are savvy. You have Yale Medical School in your backyard. You have access to top-tier research. You can smell BS a mile away.

We don’t claim our RSO cures cancer. We don’t claim CBN is a proven sleep aid. We don’t claim terpenes have magical entourage effects. Instead, we show you the actual research:

• Every cannabinoid in our formula has a peer-reviewed evidence profile in the GENERAL KNOWLEDGE section below
• We label each claim with its evidence tier: human clinical → systematic review → preclinical → mechanistic
• We tell you what’s overstated (CBN sleep claims, myrcene sedation) and what’s well-supported (CBD for seizures, THC for chemo nausea)
• We include all 29 peer-reviewed citations so you can verify every claim yourself

This is the research foundation that makes our content the most trustworthy RSO education available in Connecticut.

FARM BILL COMPLIANCE AND THE THCA LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR CONNECTICUT

The 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC at the federal level. Connecticut adopted this standard in its own hemp program, which is regulated by the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection.

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

Important legal notice for Connecticut residents: THCa converts to delta-9 THC when heated. While possession of our raw product is legal in Connecticut, decarboxylating it at home creates delta-9 THC concentrations that may exceed Connecticut’s hemp limits. Connecticut law does not currently criminalize personal decarboxylation of legally purchased hemp products, but laws can change. We provide complete documentation, Certificates of Analysis, and receipts with every order. We ship discreetly to Connecticut addresses via USPS Priority Mail (2-3 business days) or FedEx/UPS Ground (3-5 days).

THE EVIDENCE BEHIND EVERY CANNABINOID IN OUR CONNECTICUT FORMULA

CBD: The Foundation

• Amount in our RSO: 4,500 mg (30 mL bottle)
• Evidence: Strongest human evidence in our formula. The FDA-approved Epidiolex (pure CBD) for rare seizure disorders proves institutional confidence [1][2].
• For Connecticut: If you know someone at Connecticut Children’s Medical Center with Dravet syndrome or Lennox-Gastaut, they’ve likely heard of Epidiolex. Our RSO includes CBD at therapeutic levels for broader applications.
• Anxiety: 2024 systematic review of 316 participants shows significant anxiolytic signal, though more trials needed [3]. For Capitol Region residents dealing with insurance industry stress or post-pandemic anxiety, this is relevant.
• Pain: 2024 review shows promising but heterogeneous results — works for some pain types, not a universal analgesic [4].
• Safety: 2023 meta-analysis found real signal for liver enzyme elevation, especially important for Connecticut patients on multiple medications (polypharmacy is common in our aging population) [6].

CBG: The Neuroprotector

• Amount in our RSO: 3,000 mg
• Evidence: Mostly preclinical and review-level; human evidence sparse [7][8].
• Why it matters for Connecticut: Our aging population in towns like West Hartford and Glastonbury faces neurodegenerative diseases. CBG’s pharmacology (alpha-2 adrenoceptors, 5-HT1A signaling) suggests potential relevance, but claims should stay conservative.
• Bottom line: CBG is promising but not proven — exactly the kind of honest assessment Connecticut’s research-savvy consumers expect.

Delta-8 THC: The Controlled Psychoactive

• Amount in our RSO: 6,000 mg
• Evidence: Real psychoactive effects, less potent than delta-9, but safety data incomplete [9]-[11].
• For Connecticut veterans: Many vets in the Capitol Region use delta-8 for PTSD symptoms. Our Asshole Peach product (not RSO, but same formulation philosophy) is particularly favored by veterans for pain and PTSD relief.
• Caution: 2023 scoping review noted adverse events and product quality concerns. Connecticut’s unregulated market has similar risks — our lab-tested product eliminates that uncertainty [10].

THCa: The Game-Changer for Connecticut

• Amount in our RSO: 1,500 mg
• What it is: Acidic precursor to THC, non-psychoactive until heated [12].
• Why this matters in Connecticut: You can legally purchase our RSO, keep it raw for daytime use (zero impairment), then decarboxylate at home for full psychoactive potency. This is the patient control that Connecticut’s medical program doesn’t offer — medical dispensaries sell pre-activated THC products only.
• Science: Preclinical data suggest anti-inflammatory (COX-2 inhibition) and neuroprotective (PPARγ agonism) properties, but human data limited [12].

Delta-9 THC: The Clinically Validated Psychoactive

• Amount in our RSO: 90 mg (only 3 mg/mL — intentionally low for Farm Bill compliance)
• Evidence: Strongest human evidence among psychoactive cannabinoids [1][13]-[15].
• Connecticut context: NCCIH recognizes THC-containing medicines for chemo nausea, HIV/AIDS appetite, and some pain/MS symptoms [1]. Our low dose provides therapeutic benefit without the 600-900 mg daily exposure of traditional RSO.
• Safety: 2025 review of high-concentration products found strong links to psychosis, cannabis use disorder, anxiety, and depression [15]. Connecticut’s mental health providers should note this — our low-dose approach is safer.

CBN: The Overmarketed Sleep Compound

• Amount in our RSO: 750 mg (25 mg per mL at full dose)
• Evidence: Weak human evidence; marketing far ahead of data [12][16][17].
• Reality check: 2021 review found no clinical trials using validated sleep questionnaires or polysomnography to support strong sleep claims [16].
• What we deliver: At 2 mL dose, you get 50 mg CBN — the level investigated in 2024 sleep literature. At 1 mL, 25 mg — above the 20 mg threshold associated with reduced sleep disturbance in limited research.
• Honest commitment: We include CBN because it’s part of the full-spectrum tradition, but we won’t claim it’s a proven sleep aid. Connecticut consumers deserve that honesty.

CBC: The Emerging Minor Cannabinoid

• Amount in our RSO: 750 mg
• Evidence: Completely preclinical or review-based [18][19].
• Pharmacology: 2024 review highlights distinct receptor behavior, antinociceptive, antibacterial, and anti-seizure potential in animal models [18].
• Bottom line: Scientifically credible but clinically immature. We include it for completeness, not because human trials prove its efficacy [18][19].

TERPENES: THE SENSORY AND PHARMACOLOGIC DIMENSION

Our RSO includes live terpenes at 5% with a specific seven-terpene profile. For Connecticut residents familiar with essential oils, aromatherapy, or New England’s pine forests, these compounds will be recognizable:

Limonene (Citrus-Bright)

• Evidence: Review and preclinical data show antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective properties, but mostly non-human literature [21].
• Connecticut connection: The citrus notes complement our MCT oil base, making the product more palatable than traditional tar-like RSO.
• Safety: Limonene hydroperoxides are contact allergens — important for Connecticut’s patch-testing dermatology community [22].

Myrcene

• Evidence: Preclinical anxiolytic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic properties, but no human studies [23].
• The “couch-lock” myth: Common claim that myrcene causes sedation is unsupported by human data. We include it for aroma and potential synergy, not proven effects.

Caryophyllene (Pepper/Spice)

• Evidence: Most mechanistically interesting terpene — selective CB2 agonist, giving it cannabinoid-system relevance [24].
• Why this matters for Connecticut: CB2 activation may address inflammation without CB1 psychoactivity. For Capitol Region residents with arthritis or inflammatory conditions, this is a promising (though not proven) pathway.

Pinene (Forest-Fresh)

• Evidence: Preclinical antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective signals, but weak human confirmation [25].
• Connecticut’s pine forests: The aroma connects to our New England environment, but memory-enhancement claims remain exploratory, not settled [25].

Linalool (Floral, Lavender)

• Evidence: Preclinical stress and mood pharmacology, but limited human trials [25][26].
• Safety: Oxidized linalool hydroperoxides are allergens — relevant for Connecticut’s contact dermatitis specialists [22].

Humulene (Earthy, Woody)

• Evidence: 2024 scoping review of 340 articles found preclinical anti-inflammatory and cannabimimetic properties via CB1 and adenosine A2a pathways [27].
• Bottom line: Interesting research target, far from clinically settled.

Terpinolene (Piney, Fruity, Sparkling)

• Evidence: Least clinically characterized terpene in our profile. 2021 review of 2,449 records found mostly in silico, in vitro, and animal studies [28].
• Why we include it: Completes the entourage-effect hypothesis, adds complexity to flavor profile.

RESEARCH LIMITS AND HONEST TAKEAWAYS FOR CONNECTICUT READERS

The evidence base is highly uneven. We refuse to mislead you:

1. CBD and delta-9 THC have the strongest human data in our formula. Everything else is promising but preliminary.

2. Delta-8 THC is not a mild or trivial ingredient. It’s psychoactive and less clinically characterized than delta-9.

3. THCa chemistry changes with processing. Raw THCa is non-psychoactive, but heating converts it to THC. Connecticut customers control this conversion.

4. CBG, CBN, and CBC are scientifically credible but clinically immature. We include them for completeness, not because human trials prove efficacy.

5. Terpene claims should be careful. While bioactivity is plausible, robust human proof of clinically meaningful entourage effects remains limited [20][29].

We will not make the common overstatements we see in Connecticut’s cannabis market:

• No: CBN is not a proven sleep aid [16][17]
• No: Myrcene is not a proven human sedative [23]
• No: Terpenes do not have proven entourage effects in patients [20][29]
• No: THCa is not always non-psychoactive (it converts with heat) [12]
• No: Delta-8 THC is not automatically safe because it’s hemp-derived [9]-[11]

For Capitol Region residents dealing with the opioid crisis aftermath:

• Daytime: 0.3 to 0.5 mL raw sublingual — anti-inflammatory without impairment
• Nighttime: 0.5 to 1.0 mL decarboxylated sublingual — pain relief + CBN sleep support
• Breakthrough pain: Vape as needed for rapid onset

Evidence context: CBD pain [4], delta-9 pain [13], beta-caryophyllene CB2 agonism [24], THCa COX-2 inhibition [12]

Sleep Support

For insomnia sufferers across the Capitol Planning Region:

• Before bed: 1.0 to 2.0 mL sublingual
• At 2 mL: 50 mg CBN (investigated in 2024 sleep literature)
• At 1 mL: 25 mg CBN (above 20 mg threshold in limited research)

Evidence context: CBN sleep evidence remains weak [16][17], but our customers report benefit at these doses.

Anxiety and Stress

For professionals in Hartford’s insurance and government sectors:

• Daytime functional relief: 0.3 mL raw sublingual (CBD + CBG, zero impairment)
• Nighttime: 1.0 mL sublingual (full profile including CBN)

Evidence context: CBD anxiety [3], CBG pharmacology [7][8], limonene entourage [20]

THCa	Minimal	1,500 mg (converts to ~1,315 mg delta-9)
Psychoactive option	No	Yes — via decarboxylation
Price	$40-60	$129.99

Value proposition for Connecticut: You’re getting 16.5x more total cannabinoids, with psychoactive potential, for roughly 2-3x the price. For serious therapeutic use, this is the better investment.

MEDIA RECOGNITION: WHY ABC13 HOUSTON MATTERS TO CONNECTICUT

You might wonder: why should Connecticut residents care what a Houston news station thinks?

Because when America’s fourth-largest city consistently chooses the same cannabis expert across seven features over four years, it means something. ABC13 Houston (KTRK) is not a cannabis publication — it’s mainstream media with rigorous editorial standards. They don’t feature snake oil salesmen.

The features that built our credibility:

1. September 2019: CBD Business Boom — Our foundational philosophy: “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”

2. March 2021: Decriminalization — “Pain comes in a lot of different forms” — showing our therapeutic focus beyond just getting high

3. May 2021: Delta-8 Investigation — “Maybe you want to get high” — radical honesty that built trust with Texas viewers and should with Connecticut too

4. August 2021: COVID Vaccine Giveaway — We gave away $35,000 in product to encourage vaccination, coordinated with Houston city government. That’s community commitment you can verify.

5. October 2021: Delta-8 Ban — When Texas suddenly made delta-8 Schedule I, we proactively removed products and warned other operators. Ethical leadership in crisis.

6. October 2022: Biden Pardon — Revealed Colin’s personal marijuana conviction history: “I would love to see people not get hurt for this anymore” . This isn’t corporate marketing — it’s lived experience.

7. April 2023: 4/20 Feature — “Right now is actually a pretty — like Renaissance — pretty important time that should be enjoyed now” . We’re at the forefront of cannabis innovation.

These features can’t be purchased. They were earned through consistent expertise, ethical behavior, and willingness to speak truthfully. Connecticut residents deserve that same standard.

CONNECTING OUR FORMULA TO CONNECTICUT’S HEALTH LANDSCAPE

Cancer Support in the Capitol Planning Region

Connecticut has the 5th highest cancer rate in the nation. Hartford Hospital’s Helen & Harry Gray Cancer Center and Smilow Cancer Hospital serve thousands of patients annually. Many are looking for supportive care options.

Our RSO is not a cancer cure — we state that clearly. But research supports:

• Delta-8 and delta-9 THC for chemo nausea [1][9][13]
• CBD for anxiety and pain management during treatment [3][4]
• CBN for sleep disturbance during treatment cycles (though evidence weak) [16][17]

For Connecticut cancer patients: Use our RSO as adjunctive support, not replacement therapy. Consult your oncologist at Hartford Hospital, St. Francis, or Smilow. Show them our COA. Many Connecticut oncologists are now open to cannabinoid integration when presented with transparent, lab-tested products.

PTSD and Veteran Support

Connecticut is home to over 200,000 veterans. Many live in the Capitol Region and struggle with PTSD, chronic pain, and prescription medication dependence.

Colin’s personal story — quitting Xanax cold turkey using cannabinoids — resonates deeply with Connecticut’s veteran community. Our Peace Gummies (not RSO, but same formulation family) were created during his benzo withdrawal. The Asshole Peach product is particularly favored by veterans for PTSD and pain.

For Connecticut veterans: Our RSO’s multi-cannabinoid approach targets PTSD through:

• CBD’s anxiolytic effects [3]
• CBG’s potential neuroprotective properties [7][8]
• Delta-8’s psychoactivity at therapeutic doses [9]
• THCa’s non-psychoactive daytime option [12]

If you’re at the Newington VA Hospital or working with a therapist in West Hartford, bring our product information. The VA can’t prescribe it, but many providers will discuss integrative approaches.

Chronic Pain and the Opioid Crisis

Connecticut’s opioid overdose deaths have decreased recently but remain a crisis. The Capitol Planning Region has been hit hard.

Our RSO offers a multi-pathway approach to pain:

• CBD and delta-9 THC for analgesia [4][13]
• THCa for COX-2 inhibition (like NSAIDs without GI risk) [12]
• Beta-caryophyllene for CB2-mediated anti-inflammation [24]
• Delta-8 for additional cannabinoid receptor activation [9]

For Connecticut pain patients: Start low (0.3 mL raw), go slow. Many of our customers in Texas have successfully tapered off opioids using this approach. It requires patience and medical supervision, but it’s possible.

Sleep Disorders

Insomnia affects 1 in 3 adults. In Connecticut’s high-stress professional environment (insurance, government, healthcare), sleep issues are rampant.

Our formula includes 750 mg CBN, but we’re honest: the evidence is weak [16][17]. What helps more is the combination:

• CBN at 25-50 mg doses (above thresholds in limited studies) [16]
• CBD’s anxiolytic effects reducing sleep-disrupting anxiety [3]
• Delta-8/THC’s sedative properties when decarboxylated [9]
• Linalool and myrcene’s aromatherapeutic relaxation (plausible but unproven) [23][26]

For Connecticut insomniacs: Try 1-2 mL sublingual 1 hour before bed. Keep it raw if you need to function the next day, or decarb if you want stronger sedation.

THE BENTLEY STORY: WHY WE GIVE AWAY OUR FORMULA

In 2019, ABC13 captured Colin’s philosophy: “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” .

That philosophy was born when Bentley got up.

Bentley was paralyzed. Vets said euthanasia was the only humane option. Colin made a CBD golden paste. Bentley walked over and brought his ball. That was ten years ago. Bentley lived to age twenty, dying naturally.

During those ten years, Colin developed formulas for every age-related condition:

• Neurodegeneration → CBG and THCa for brain cell protection [7][8][12]
• Dementia → CBC for neurogenesis [18][19]
• Glaucoma → THC for intraocular pressure [13]
• Arthritis → Multi-pathway anti-inflammatory approach (CBD, CBG, THCa, caryophyllene) [4][12][24]

We published Bentley’s recipe for free:

CBD Golden Paste for Pets:

• 1/2 cup organic turmeric powder
• 1 cup water
• 1/3 cup unrefined organic coconut oil
• 1-2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• CBD oil (dose per pet weight)

Instructions: Heat turmeric and water into paste, add oil and pepper, cool, refrigerate. Mix in CBD before serving.

We give this away because we remember what it felt like to be desperate. If you’re in Connecticut facing a similar crisis with your pet, make this today. If you want our professional version, we’ll ship it tomorrow. But you don’t have to wait, and you don’t have to pay if you can’t.

CONNECTICUT-SPECIFIC LEGAL COMPLIANCE

Age requirement: 21+ only. We verify age at purchase.

Farm Bill compliance: Our product contains <0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight, making it legal hemp under Connecticut law.

Connecticut state law: Connecticut legalized recreational cannabis in 2021. Adults 21+ can possess up to 1.5 ounces. Our RSO falls within these limits when kept raw. If you decarboxylate, you are creating delta-9 THC — still legal for personal use in Connecticut, but be aware of possession limits.

Workplace drug testing: THCa in raw form will not trigger standard THC tests. Delta-8 and decarboxylated delta-9 will. If you’re subject to testing in Connecticut’s insurance industry, government, or healthcare sectors, use the raw form only.

Medical disclaimer: Connecticut healthcare providers cannot prescribe our product. But many will discuss it if you bring our COA. Show them the evidence profiles in this document. We support informed medical dialogue.

FINAL THOUGHTS FOR CONNECTICUT’S CAPITOL PLANNING REGION

We didn’t come to Connecticut to be the biggest cannabis company. We came because the science is real, the need is urgent, and no one else is being this honest about what works, what doesn’t, and what’s still unknown.

From our Houston facility to your home in Hartford, West Hartford, New Britain, or anywhere in the Capitol Planning Region, we’re shipping more than oil. We’re shipping ten years of Bentley’s life. We’re shipping Colin’s escape from benzo addiction. We’re shipping the hope that when conventional medicine fails, cannabinoids might offer another path — not a guaranteed cure, but a fair shot.

As Colin told ABC13 in 2019, “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 remains our promise to Connecticut: The best possible version. Complete transparency. Honest education. And the freedom to decide for yourself.
