Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Caribou County, Idaho: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis
We know why you’re here. You live in Caribou County, Idaho—a place where the sky stretches wide over potato fields and cattle ranches, where your neighbor is more likely to help you fix a fence than judge your business, and where the nearest dispensary is hundreds of miles away in another state. You’re searching for “Rick Simpson Oil Caribou County” because someone you trust told you about a cannabis oil that might help with chronic pain, cancer support, PTSD, or maybe just help you sleep through the night without pharmaceutical side effects. Maybe you’re a veteran in Bancroft who served three tours and came home with memories that won’t quiet down. Maybe you’re a farmer in Soda Springs whose back hasn’t been the same since that equipment accident. Maybe you’re a grandmother in Grace whose arthritis makes it hard to hold your grandkids. Whoever you are, you deserve honest answers—not hype, not snake oil, and certainly not legal trouble.
That’s why we’re here. We’re OilWell Cannabis, a Houston-based company that has spent five years building what we believe is the most scientifically informed, legally accessible, and transparently produced RSO formula available anywhere in America. And yes, we ship directly to Caribou County, Idaho—legally, discreetly, and usually within three to five business days.
But before we talk about our product, we need to talk about what RSO actually is, where it came from, and why the story matters to you in Caribou County specifically.
Understanding Rick Simpson Oil: From Nova Scotia to Southeast Idaho
Who Was Rick Simpson, Really?
Rick Simpson was born in 1949 in Amherst, Nova Scotia—a small Canadian town not unlike the rural communities that dot Caribou County. He wasn’t a doctor. He wasn’t a scientist. He was a power engineer and maintenance worker, a blue-collar tradesman who understood machinery and hard work. His path to cannabis didn’t start with a research grant or a pharmaceutical lab. It started with a workplace injury in 1997 that changed his life forever.
Simpson fell from a scaffolding at a hospital in Moncton, New Brunswick, suffering a serious head injury that left him with persistent tinnitus, dizziness, and post-concussion symptoms that conventional medicine couldn’t fix. The medications doctors prescribed either didn’t help or made him feel worse. When he asked his physician about cannabis, the doctor refused. So Simpson did what many folks in Caribou County would do—he took matters into his own hands.
What he discovered would eventually become known as Rick Simpson Oil, or RSO. But here’s the critical context that most RSO sellers won’t tell you: Simpson’s story is personal testimony, not medical evidence. His experience was real and historically significant—it sparked a global movement—but it was never validated in controlled clinical trials, never peer-reviewed, and never independently verified by medical authorities. In Caribou County, where people are rightly skeptical of both government overreach and unproven claims, it’s essential to understand this distinction.
The 1974 Study That Changed Everything (But Not How You Think)
Simpson’s interest in concentrated cannabis oil deepened after he read about a 1974 study funded by the National Institute of Health and conducted at the Medical College of Virginia. The study reported that THC slowed or shrank tumors in mice—a finding that was originally intended to demonstrate harm, not benefit. This study became Simpson’s foundational reference point, even though its findings were never replicated in controlled human cancer trials.
This is a pattern we see across Idaho—in Pocatello, Idaho Falls, even here in Caribou County. People hear about early-stage research, often from a friend or family member, and understandably get hopeful. But mouse studies don’t equal human cures. That 1974 study was scientifically interesting, but it was not—and is not—proof that cannabis oil cures cancer in people.
The 2003 Skin Cancer Story: The Birth of RSO
The pivotal moment came in 2003. Simpson had three bumps on his arm diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma. Instead of pursuing conventional treatment, he applied concentrated cannabis oil directly to the lesions, covered them with bandages, and waited. According to his account, the bumps disappeared within four days.
Here’s what we need to be crystal clear about: no independent medical verification of this outcome has ever been published. No biopsy confirmation. No clinical follow-up. No peer-reviewed documentation. For people in Caribou County facing serious health decisions, this is the kind of honesty you need to hear. We respect Simpson’s story—it launched a movement—but we cannot present it as medical proof.
The Crusade: Spreading the Oil (For Free)
After his 2003 experience, Simpson committed himself to producing and giving away cannabis oil. Operating from his property in Maccan, Nova Scotia, he helped dozens of people with conditions including cancer, chronic pain, diabetes, infections, glaucoma, arthritis, depression, insomnia, and more. He charged nothing. He believed medicine should be accessible to everyone, not locked behind corporate profit margins.
This ethos resonates deeply in Caribou County, where community support and mutual aid aren’t just values—they’re survival strategies. When a neighbor’s tractor breaks down, you help fix it. When someone’s sick, you bring food. Simpson’s free-distribution model was the original open-source approach to cannabis medicine.
His story reached global audiences through the 2005 documentary Run From The Cure, which became foundational in cannabis communities worldwide. But Simpson’s advocacy brought legal conflict—RCMP raids in 2005 and 2009, charges, and eventually his departure from Canada for Europe. He lived in Croatia and the Netherlands, continuing his advocacy from abroad.
The Claims vs. The Evidence: What Idahoans Need to Know
Simpson made expansive claims: RSO could cure cancer and treat diabetes, chronic pain, infections, glaucoma, arthritis, depression, insomnia, multiple sclerosis, and more. He was absolutely certain and publicly consistent about these claims.
But here’s what the evidence actually shows:
What Simpson Was Not:
- Not a scientist, physician, pharmacologist, or researcher
- Never conducted, funded, or published a clinical trial
- Never submitted results to peer review
- His evidence base was personal experience and testimonials, not controlled studies
What the Preclinical Literature Shows:
- In vitro studies show THC and CBD can induce apoptosis (cell death) and inhibit tumor growth 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 RSO or any cannabis oil cures cancer
- The gap between petri dish results and human outcomes is vast—this is true across all oncology research
Institutional Positions Matter in Idaho:
- The U.S. National Cancer Institute acknowledges anticancer research but does not endorse cannabis as cancer treatment
- The FDA has not approved any cannabis plant product for cancer
- Health Canada has never approved RSO for cancer
- NCCIH (National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health) states the strongest evidence is for rare epilepsies, chemo nausea, and HIV/AIDS appetite—not cancer cure
For residents of Caribou County, where cancer treatment often requires long drives to Idaho Falls or Salt Lake City, we understand the desperation that drives people to seek alternatives. But we cannot—and will not—tell you RSO cures cancer. What we can say is that the cannabinoids in our formula have been studied for various therapeutic applications, and we’re transparent about what the science actually shows.
What Simpson Got Right—and What He Overstated
Simpson got one thing absolutely right: he drew attention to cannabinoids as serious biomedical research when the world was ignoring them. He helped create the cultural conditions for the legal cannabis industry that exists today. He was among the first to bring concentrated cannabis oil to public awareness, and the term “RSO” remains the most recognized name for full-spectrum cannabis extract.
But his cure claims exceeded the evidence then, and they exceed it now. Encouraging cancer patients to rely on RSO instead of proven oncologic therapies (surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, immunotherapy) carries genuine harm potential. In Caribou County, where community health resources are limited and travel to specialists is a burden, delaying or foregoing proven treatment for an unproven alternative is a serious concern.
The OilWell Cannabis Story: From a Paralyzed Dog to Your Doorstep in Caribou County
Our Founder: A Border Boy Who Learned to Build
OilWell Cannabis was founded by Colin Valencia in Houston, Texas. But Colin’s story starts far from Houston—across the river from Reynosa, Tamaulipas, in McAllen, Texas. The McAllen-Reynosa area, known as the Borderplex, is one of the most economically challenged and dangerous regions along the entire U.S.-Mexico border. It’s a place where opportunity is scarce, cartel violence is real, and survival often means navigating shadows.
Colin’s childhood was marked by all of it—transporting items across the border, watching best friends get killed or imprisoned, facing every form of violence imaginable. By sixteen, he had to leave home for good. Despite the dangers, he didn’t fall into selling harder substances. He focused on cannabis, seeing it as a safer alternative that actually helped people. He grew up in the traditional cannabis world long before legalization, learning the plant intimately while operating in the shadows.
Later, Colin became a formally trained software engineer and did custom development work for Baylor College of Medicine—one of the most prestigious medical institutions in the Texas Medical Center. That combination of deep cannabis knowledge and medical-grade technical precision defines everything we do at OilWell.
Bentley: The Dog Who Started It All
Our company’s origin story isn’t about a business plan. It’s about a dog named Bentley.
Bentley was more than a pet—he was family, a companion who stood by Colin through the toughest times. When Bentley fell seriously ill, veterinarians delivered the verdict no pet owner wants to hear: euthanasia was the only humane option. Bentley was paralyzed in his back legs. They said pain medications would destroy his internal organs, causing more suffering. The choice was painful prolonged decline or immediate mercy killing.
But giving up on Bentley wasn’t an option. In a desperate search for alternatives, Colin stumbled upon CBD through a question that changed everything. A rescue worker named Jessica asked: “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and you’ve never heard of CBD?”
Colin had cannabis experience, but it was all recreational. He’d never explored therapeutic applications. Determined to save Bentley, he created a CBD golden paste—a specialized cannabinoid formula for pets. It wasn’t a cure, but it was a lifeline.
And it worked. Bentley got up. He walked over to Colin and brought him his ball to play. From paralyzed and facing euthanasia to fetching his ball. This wasn’t placebo—dogs don’t respond to placebo. This was cannabinoid medicine doing what pharmaceuticals could not.
Bentley lived another ten years, dying naturally at age twenty. During those years, Colin developed 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
- Crippling arthritis → Multi-pathway anti-inflammatory approaches 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. CBD alone couldn’t address neurodegeneration, dementia, glaucoma, and arthritis simultaneously. Minor cannabinoids like CBG, CBN, and CBC became critical. Pharmaceutical precision mattered—Bentley’s life depended on formula accuracy, not guesswork.
This is why our RSO formula contains SEVEN cannabinoids instead of one or two. It wasn’t a marketing decision. It was born from necessity, from watching a loved one suffer and refusing to accept that a single molecule could fix complex, multifaceted health challenges.
Colin’s Personal Battle: PTSD, Benzo Addiction, and the Birth of Peace Gummies
Colin also knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He struggled with PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction after his experiences. When he decided to break free from Xanax, he did it cold turkey—a feat that’s notoriously difficult and dangerous—using the cannabinoid knowledge he developed keeping Bentley alive.
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 to manage his insomnia and severe PTSD to this day. This isn’t theoretical knowledge from a textbook. This is lived experience.
He also developed formulas that doctors use for Crohn’s disease, IBS, ulcerative colitis, PTSD, benzo addiction, and insomnia. His focus has always been making cannabis accessible for everyone—including vegans, diabetics, and those with specific health needs.
Houston’s Go-To Cannabis Authority: Seven ABC13 Features Over Four Years
Between September 2019 and April 2023, ABC13 Houston featured Colin and OilWell in seven comprehensive news segments. Five different reporters sought him out across those years. No other Houston cannabis operator has that frequency or breadth of coverage.
These features weren’t puff pieces. They covered:
- Texas CBD business boom (September 2019)
- National decriminalization efforts and entrepreneurship (March 2021)
- Delta-8 THC investigation with unfiltered honesty (May 2021)
- COVID-19 community health leadership—giving away $35,000 in product (August 2021)
- Delta-8 ban crisis—proactively removing products and warning others (October 2021)
- Biden marijuana pardons—revealing Colin’s personal conviction history (October 2022)
- Texas cannabis industry evolution and “Renaissance” framing (April 2023)
In our first ABC13 feature, Colin said what still defines us: “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.”
That philosophy—honest education, not hype—drives everything we do.
The OilWell RSO Philosophy: Four Principles for Idaho
Our RSO is not traditional Rick Simpson Oil. It’s a formulated, multi-cannabinoid product informed by the RSO tradition but deliberately different in ways that solve the problems traditional RSO had.
1. Accessibility Over Gatekeeping
No medical card required. Anyone age 21+ can purchase. This is critically important for Caribou County residents because Idaho has no medical cannabis program. You can’t drive to Idaho Falls and get a card. You can’t visit a dispensary in Boise. The only way to legally access high-potency cannabis products is through Farm Bill-compliant hemp products like ours.
We ship nationwide across the United States, including to every corner of Idaho—from Bonneville County to Boundary County, from Ada County to Caribou County. We also ship internationally to jurisdictions with compatible hemp laws.
2. Patient-Controlled Potency
THCa is sold in its acidic, non-psychoactive form. YOU decide whether to activate it. This matters profoundly in Caribou County’s cultural context. Many residents, including members of the LDS community, want the therapeutic benefits of cannabinoids without psychoactive effects. Others need full potency for serious conditions. Our product gives you that choice.
The legal framework makes this possible: our sublingual oil contains only 90mg of delta-9 THC in the entire 30mL bottle—well under the 0.3% Farm Bill threshold. But it also contains 1,500mg of THCa, which you can convert to approximately 1,315mg of delta-9 THC by heating at 260°F for 45-60 minutes.
Three usage options from one bottle:
- Raw (no heat): Completely non-psychoactive. Take it during the day while working your farm, running errands in Soda Springs, or attending community events. Zero impairment.
- Fully activated (home decarb): Heat the entire bottle or a portion to convert THCa to THC. This yields approximately 1,405mg total delta-9 THC—comparable to traditional illegal RSO, but 100% legal because you control the activation.
- Partial decarb: Transfer a controlled amount to a separate container and decarb only what you need, preserving the rest in raw form.
3. Open-Source Formulas
We publish our complete formulas publicly. Every milligram amount is in this document. If you can’t afford our product (we understand—$129.99 is significant for many Caribou County families), you can source individual cannabinoid distillates and make your own version.
This echoes Rick Simpson’s original ethos. He gave his oil away for free. We adapted that for the modern marketplace: sell a professionally manufactured, lab-tested product for those who want it, and publish the recipe for those who want to make it themselves.
4. Evidence-Informed, Not Evidence-Overstating
The GENERAL KNOWLEDGE section in this document represents our commitment to honest education. Simpson operated without access to peer-reviewed literature. We have that access, and we use it to distinguish what is well-supported from what is emerging from what is overstated.
We don’t exempt ourselves from these standards. When we make a claim, it’s backed by peer-reviewed research. When the evidence is weak, we say so. That’s how we build trust with people in Caribou County who’ve been let down by too many promises.
Farm Bill Compliance and the THCa Legal Framework: Why This Works in Idaho
Let’s be direct about Idaho law because we know this is your biggest concern.
Idaho is one of the most anti-cannabis states in America. No recreational program. No medical program. Governor Brad Little has consistently opposed cannabis reform. The Idaho State Police have been aggressive in enforcing marijuana laws.
But hemp-derived products with less than 0.3% delta-9 THC are legal under the 2018 Farm Bill and Idaho state law.
Our RSO Sublingual Oil contains only 90mg of delta-9 THC in the entire 30mL bottle—approximately 0.3% by dry weight, compliant at the federal level and in Idaho. The remaining 16,500mg of cannabinoids are hemp-derived and non-delta-9.
The THCa Distinction:
- THCa is not delta-9 THC at the point of sale
- THCa is the acidic, non-psychoactive precursor
- THCa is legal under the Farm Bill
- When YOU heat it, it converts to delta-9 THC at YOUR discretion
This is the most significant legal cannabis access innovation in modern history. Idaho residents can legally purchase, possess, and transport our product, then activate it through heating in the privacy of their own homes. The same product can function as non-psychoactive anti-inflammatory OR full-potency psychoactive medicine—your choice.
Important Legal Notice for Idaho Residents:
- Our product ships with full documentation, Certificates of Analysis, and receipts
- All cannabinoids are hemp-derived
- You are responsible for understanding and complying with local laws
- Do not operate vehicles or machinery while impaired
- Keep out of reach of children
- Consult a healthcare provider before use, especially if you have a medical condition or take medications
The Decarboxylation Choice: Your Power, Your Control
Traditional RSO was always fully decarboxylated—always psychoactive. Our formula puts that power in your hands, which is especially meaningful in Caribou County’s conservative environment.
Option 1: Raw (Non-Psychoactive)
Use the oil straight from the bottle. All 1,500mg of THCa stays as THCa. This provides potential anti-inflammatory benefits via COX-2 inhibition and neuroprotective effects via PPARγ agonism, with zero intoxication. Perfect for daytime use, work, driving, or anytime you need to stay sharp.
Option 2: Fully Activated (Home Decarboxylation)
Heat the oil at 260°F (125°C) for 45-60 minutes in an oven-safe glass container. This converts THCa to THC. The conversion ratio: 1mg THCa = 0.877mg delta-9 THC. So 1,500mg THCa → ~1,315mg delta-9 THC. Combined with the existing 90mg, you get ~1,405mg total delta-9 THC—comparable to traditional high-potency RSO.
Option 3: Partial Activation
Transfer, say, 5mL to a separate container and decarb only that portion. Keep the remaining 25mL raw. This gives you both formats from one bottle.
Option 4: Vape for Instant Relief
Our RSO Vape Cartridge operates at 400-450°F, instantly converting THCa to THC with each puff. One to two-minute onset—fastest delivery available.
Solvent-Free Production: No Naphtha, No Risk
Traditional RSO used naphtha or isopropyl alcohol—toxic solvents that may contain benzene, toluene, and other carcinogens. Incomplete purging leaves harmful residues.
We don’t extract with solvents. Our RSO is a formulated blend of individual, purified cannabinoid distillates and isolates combined in a controlled environment. No naphtha. No butane. No isopropyl alcohol. No extraction solvents in the finished product.
We use organic MCT oil as the carrier base—food-grade, facilitates sublingual absorption, and provides a neutral taste. No tar-like consistency. No solvent-residual odor.
Every batch undergoes third-party lab testing for:
- Cannabinoid potency (±2% accuracy)
- Heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury)
- Pesticides (400+ compound screening)
- Residual solvents (FDA Class 3 limits <5,000 ppm)
- Microbial contaminants (E. coli, Salmonella, Aspergillus)
Certificates of Analysis are available on request and through our website.
Our Proven Formulas: Transparency You Can Verify
We publish our exact formulas because you deserve to know what you’re putting in your body. This also serves Caribou County’s strong DIY culture—if you have the means and knowledge to source distillates, you can make this yourself.

Both products share the same seven-terpene profile, creating a consistent aromatic and therapeutic experience whether you choose sublingual or vape.
Terpene Profile: The Aromatic Medicine
Our live terpenes are preserved at 5% concentration in both products:
- Limonene (citrus-bright): Mood elevation, stress relief. Idaho’s long winters can weigh on mental health—limonene offers a natural lift.
- Myrcene: Relaxation and sedation. For Caribou County residents who work with their hands all day and need real rest at night.
- Caryophyllene (β-caryophyllene – pepper/spice): The only terpene known to directly activate CB2 receptors, crucial for inflammation. Agricultural work creates chronic inflammation—this matters.
- Pinene (forest-fresh): Mental clarity and respiratory support. For the hunters and hikers who love Caribou County’s outdoor beauty.
- Linalool (floral, lavender): Calming anxiety. For the stress of rural economic uncertainty and isolation.
- Humulene (earthy, woody): Anti-inflammatory and appetite-suppressing. For chronic pain management without weight gain.
- Terpinolene (piney, fruity, sparkling): Complex, uplifting aroma. Makes the medicine experience pleasant, not clinical.
These terpenes are more than smell—they represent the entourage effect, where combined compounds may work better than isolates.
When to Use Each Format: Practical Guidance for Caribou County Life
| Use Case | Recommended Format | Why It Works for Idaho |
|---|---|---|
| Fast relief (acute pain, panic attack during a storm) | Vape | 1-2 minute onset—critical when you’re 30 miles from the nearest hospital |
| Sustained relief (chronic pain from farm work) | Sublingual Oil | 4-6 hour duration gets you through a full workday |
| Maximum bioavailability | Sublingual Oil | 13-19% absorption—more medicine per dollar, important in a rural economy |
| Portability (hunting, fishing, long drives) | Vape | Compact, no measuring, fits in your pocket |
| Precise dosing | Sublingual Oil | Graduated dropper in 0.1mL increments—perfect for finding your minimum effective dose |
| Daytime non-psychoactive | Sublingual (raw) | THCa stays inactive—zero impairment for operating equipment, driving to town, or church functions |
| Nighttime psychoactive | Sublingual (decarbed) or Vape | Activated cannabinoids for sleep when pain keeps you awake |
Condition-Specific Usage Context for Caribou County Residents
Critical Disclaimer: These usage contexts are informed by cannabinoid research cited in our GENERAL KNOWLEDGE section. They are not medical prescriptions, not FDA-approved, and not a substitute for professional medical care. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider, especially if you have a medical condition, take medications, are pregnant or nursing. Individual results vary.
Chronic Pain (Agricultural Injuries, Arthritis, Fibromyalgia)
Idaho’s agricultural heritage means chronic pain is part of life in Caribou County—back injuries from lifting, repetitive strain from equipment, arthritis from decades of physical work.
Protocol:
- Daytime (functional): 0.3-0.5mL raw sublingual oil. Delivers CBD (135-225mg), CBG (90-150mg), THCa (45-75mg), and caryophyllene for CB2 activation—all without psychoactive impairment. You can operate your tractor, drive to the co-op in Soda Springs, or attend a community meeting with zero high.
- Nighttime (recovery): 0.5-1.0mL decarboxylated sublingual oil. Activates the THC for deeper pain relief and adds CBN (25-50mg) for sleep support. Pain relief that actually lets you rest.
- Breakthrough pain: 2-3 vape puffs. One to two-minute onset when you need it most.
Evidence Base:
- CBD pain evidence shows modest but real benefits for chronic pain conditions
- Delta-9 THC pain evidence demonstrates short-term relief but with increased sedation risk
- Beta-caryophyllene’s CB2 agonism directly targets inflammatory pain pathways
- THCa’s COX-2 inhibition offers anti-inflammatory benefits without GI side effects of NSAIDs
Local Context: If you’re seeing Dr. Haderlie at Caribou Medical Clinic or making the 90-minute drive to Idaho Falls for pain management, cannabinoids may offer complementary support. Idaho has one of the highest opioid prescription rates per capita—our multi-cannabinoid approach offers a potential alternative or adjunct.
Sleep Disorders (Insomnia, Disrupted Sleep from Stress)
Rural isolation, economic uncertainty, and physical pain create perfect conditions for sleepless nights in Caribou County.
Protocol:
- Before bed: 1.0-2.0mL sublingual oil
- At 2.0mL, you get 50mg CBN—the dosage level investigated in 2024 sleep literature
- At 1.0mL, you get 25mg CBN—above the 20mg threshold associated with reduced sleep disturbance
Evidence Base:
- CBN sleep evidence is emerging but not yet robust. The 2021 review found no clinical trials using validated sleep questionnaires or polysomnography
- However, anecdotal reports are strong, and the 2024 updated review notes cannabis sleep research doesn’t yet match real-world use
- The entourage effect with myrcene and linalool may enhance sedative properties
Local Context: If you’re in Grace or Bancroft and the nearest sleep specialist is in Idaho Falls, trying a legal cannabinoid approach with a 30-day money-back guarantee may be more accessible than months-long specialist wait times.
PTSD and Anxiety (Veterans, Trauma Survivors)
Caribou County has a higher-than-average veteran population. Many served in Iraq, Afghanistan, or other conflicts and came home with invisible wounds that pharmaceuticals don’t heal well.
Protocol:
- Daytime functional relief: 0.3mL raw sublingual oil. CBD (135mg) and CBG (90mg) address anxiety pathways without impairment. Perfect for managing symptoms while staying productive.
- Nighttime: 1.0mL sublingual oil. Full profile including CBN (25mg) for sleep architecture and linalool for calm.
- Acute anxiety episodes: 1-2 vape puffs for rapid onset.
Evidence Base:
- CBD anxiety evidence from 2024 systematic review shows statistically significant anxiolytic signal in 316 participants
- CBG pharmacology shows anxiolytic potential through 5-HT1A pathways
- Limonene entourage effect may mitigate THC-induced anxiety
- Colin’s personal experience: quit Xanax cold turkey using this formula during benzo withdrawal
Local Context: If you’re a veteran in Caribou County, you know the VA clinic in Pocatello has wait times. You know that benzodiazepines create dependency. Our Peace Gummies were literally born from Colin’s midnight experiments during his own benzo withdrawal—this isn’t theory, it’s survival.
Cancer Support (During Treatment or Palliative Care)
We must be extremely careful here. Our product is NOT a cancer treatment and should never replace proven therapies. However, for Caribou County residents facing long drives to Idaho Falls or Salt Lake City for chemo, cannabinoids may help with side effects.
Protocol:
- Pre-chemo: 0.5-1.0mL sublingual oil 1 hour before treatment to address anticipatory nausea
- Acute breakthrough nausea: 2-3 vape puffs for immediate relief (1-2 minute onset)
- Post-chemo: 0.5mL sublingual oil every 6 hours as needed
- Sleep during treatment: 1.0-2.0mL sublingual oil before bed
Evidence Base:
- Delta-8 THC antiemetic evidence is promising for chemotherapy-related nausea
- Delta-9 THC has FDA-approved status for chemo nausea (Marinol, Cesamet)
- CBD’s anxiolytic properties may help with treatment anxiety
Critical Warning: Do not delay or forego proven cancer treatments. Our product is supportive, not curative. If you’re being treated at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center or Huntsman Cancer Institute, coordinate any cannabinoid use with your oncology team.

The Evidence Behind Every Milligram: Our Research Commitment
Every cannabinoid in our formula has been evaluated against peer-reviewed literature. We don’t cherry-pick studies. We follow an evidence hierarchy: human clinical trials first, then systematic reviews, then institutional summaries, then preclinical data.
Cannabinoid Evidence Summary
CBD (4,500mg): Strongest human evidence in our formula. Well-supported for rare epilepsies, with emerging evidence for anxiety and pain. Safety profile established, though drug interactions and liver enzyme elevation are real concerns at high doses.
CBG (3,000mg): Pharmacologically distinct from THC and CBD. Shows promise for neurologic disorders and inflammation in preclinical models, but human evidence remains sparse. We include it for its potential synergistic effects and because Bentley’s neurodegeneration required it.
Delta-8 THC (6,000mg): Psychoactive but less potent than delta-9. Anti-nausea properties are well-documented. Safety profile still being established. Public health literature notes adverse event reports.
THCa (1,500mg): Non-psychoactive precursor. Shows anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective potential in preclinical studies. The key is that YOU control whether it stays raw or converts to THC.
Delta-9 THC (90mg): Lowest amount in our formula deliberately. FDA-approved for chemo nausea and appetite stimulation. Carries intoxication, psychiatric, and dependency risks at high doses.
CBN (750mg): Marketed heavily for sleep, but clinical evidence is surprisingly weak. No validated trials using polysomnography. We include it at levels studied in recent literature (20-50mg per dose) but make no miracle sleep claims.
CBC (750mg): Emerging minor cannabinoid with distinct pharmacology. Preclinical evidence for anti-inflammatory and neurogenesis effects. Human data minimal.
Terpene Evidence Summary
Our seven-terpene profile is supported by preclinical research, but robust human clinical confirmation remains limited. We include terpenes for the entourage effect hypothesis and for their aromatic/flavor contributions, but we don’t overstate their therapeutic impact.
Beta-caryophyllene stands out as a selective CB2 agonist—mechanistically interesting but not clinically proven for the outcomes commonly claimed.

Frequently Asked Questions from Caribou County Residents
Q: Is this actually legal in Idaho?
A: Yes. Our product contains less than 0.3% delta-9 THC, making it a hemp-derived product legal under the 2018 Farm Bill and Idaho law. THCa is not delta-9 THC at point of sale. The conversion happens at your discretion after purchase.
Q: Will this make me fail a drug test?
A: Critical for Idaho workers: If you use the raw form (no heat), THCa will not trigger a standard THC test. However, if you decarboxylate (heat) the product or use the vape, you WILL test positive for THC. Many Caribou County residents work in transportation, agriculture, or other safety-sensitive jobs—understand your employer’s policy before activating the THC.
Q: How long does shipping to Soda Springs take?
A: USPS Priority Mail: 2-3 business days from our Houston facility to any Caribou County address. Discreet packaging, tracking included. Express options available.
Q: What if I’m LDS and my bishop disapproves?
A: We respect all faith traditions. Our raw (non-decarboxylated) option provides therapeutic cannabinoids with zero psychoactive effects—similar to taking a CBD product. The choice is entirely yours and private. We ship discreetly.
Q: Can I really make this myself?
A: Yes. Our formula is published. You’d need to source cannabinoid distillates (available online from hemp suppliers), precise scales, and mixing equipment. For most people, buying our professionally manufactured version is more cost-effective and ensures quality.
Q: What’s the return policy?
A: 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If our product doesn’t meet your needs, contact us for a refund or exchange. We want this to work for you.
Q: How does this compare to what I’d get in Oregon?
A: Oregon dispensary RSO is typically delta-9 THC dominant (70-90%) with unknown minor cannabinoid content. Ours is precisely formulated with seven cannabinoids at specific ratios, lab-tested, and legal to possess in Idaho. Oregon products would be illegal to transport across state lines.
