Chambers County: Access Houston, Texas’s OilWell Cannabis Legal THCa Rick Simpson Oil with 16,590mg 7-Cannabinoid RSO, 1,500mg THCa for Patient-Controlled Potency, ABC13-Featured & Lab-Tested, Founded from Bentley’s 10-Year Miracle, Nationwide Shipping No Medical Card Required

Welcome to Chambers County. We see you.

We are OilWell Cannabis, based in Houston, Texas. While our physical storefront is hundreds of miles away in Montrose, our mission — and our products — reach far beyond our city limits. This comprehensive guide is our direct conversation with you, the residents of Chambers County, Alabama. Whether you’re in LaFayette, Valley, Lanett, or anywhere in the rural stretches between, this information is for you.

For years, people in Chambers County have searched for honest answers about cannabis oil. You’ve heard the term “Rick Simpson Oil” or “RSO” through online forums, personal testimonials, or word-of-mouth, often in relation to cancer, chronic pain, or sleepless nights. Yet, reliable, science-backed education tailored to your community’s specific needs and legal landscape has been scarce. This guide aims to fill that void.

Our goal is not to sell you hope or snake oil. Our goal, as it has been since our founder Colin Valencia said it on ABC13 Houston in 2019, is to provide you with “the best possible version” of the facts. This allows you to make an informed decision about whether cannabinoid therapy could be a part of your wellness journey. We’ll cover the complete history of RSO, the modern science behind every compound we use, the heartfelt story of why our company exists, and exactly how our legally compliant products can be accessed from right here in East Alabama.

We understand the unique fabric of Chambers County. It’s a place of deep-rooted community, resilience, and a practical approach to life. We also understand the challenges: distance from major medical centers, the quiet burden of chronic conditions that often go under-treated, and navigating the complex and shifting laws surrounding cannabis products. We’ve built our entire philosophy and product line to meet these challenges head-on, with integrity, transparency, and a commitment to accessibility.

This is more than a product description. This is an education. Let’s begin.

The Story of Rick Simpson Oil: From Personal Testimony to Global Phenomenon

To understand where we are today, we must start with where it all began. The term “Rick Simpson Oil” (RSO) originates from one man’s personal struggle in Nova Scotia, Canada—a story that has since echoed in communities worldwide, including yours.

Rick Simpson was not a doctor or a scientist. He was a maintenance worker who, after a head injury in 1997, found little relief from conventional medications. His personal exploration led him to cannabis. In 2003, he claimed that a concentrated cannabis oil he applied topically removed basal cell carcinoma spots on his skin. This personal testimony, documented in his book Phoenix Tears and the film Run From The Cure, became the catalyst for a global movement.

Driven by a belief in the oil’s potential, Simpson began producing and giving it away for free to people with cancer, chronic pain, and other ailments. He developed a specific protocol: a 90-day regimen consuming 60 grams of this crude, high-THC oil. His advocacy put him in direct conflict with Canadian law, resulting in raids and charges.

It is crucial we separate the historically significant narrative from medical evidence. Simpson’s accounts were personal testimonials without independent clinical verification, biopsy proof, or peer-reviewed documentation. He operated in a pre-legalization era with no lab testing, standardization, or controlled trials. His oil was made using non-food-grade solvents like naphtha, was fully psychoactive, and varied wildly in potency from batch to batch.

Why does this history matter to you in Chambers County? Because the term “RSO” you encounter online or in conversations is rooted in this story. Simpson’s legacy is that he ignited a global conversation about concentrated cannabis oil at a time when institutions were ignoring it. However, the modern era demands we move from anecdote to evidence, from risk to safety, and from a one-size-fits-all protocol to personalized, responsible use.

Why OilWell’s Formulation is a Deliberate Evolution

Our RSO is not Rick Simpson’s oil. We respect the tradition but have deliberately evolved from it, informed by a decade of formulation science and a commitment to safety. Here is how we differ:

• Multi-Cannabinoid Strategy: Traditional RSO was THC-dominant from a single cannabis strain. Our formula includes seven distinct cannabinoids—CBD, CBG, Delta-8 THC, THCa, Delta-9 THC, CBN, and CBC—each at precise, lab-tested amounts. This is based on the “entourage effect” hypothesis, which suggests compounds work better together, and on years of addressing complex, multi-symptom conditions.
• Terpene Preservation: Simpson’s process destroyed beneficial aromatic compounds called terpenes. We preserve and include a 5% live terpene profile with seven specific terpenes like limonene (citrus) and beta-caryophyllene (pepper) for their potential synergistic effects and sensory experience.
• Solvent-Free Production: We use no naphtha or isopropyl alcohol. Our cannabinoids are blended into an organic MCT oil base in a controlled environment, eliminating risks of toxic solvent residues.
• Patient-Controlled Potency: This is our most significant innovation for a functional community like Chambers County. Traditional RSO was always psychoactive. Our sublingual oil contains 1,500mg of THCa—the non-psychoactive, acidic precursor to THC. You choose:
  • Use it RAW: For daytime, non-impairing anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective benefits.
  • Decarboxylate it at home: Apply heat to convert the THCa into THC, unlocking full psychoactive potency for evening or high-intensity need.
  • This means one legal product can serve both the farmer who needs clear focus during the day and the individual seeking deep relief at night.
• Lab-Tested Transparency: Every batch is third-party tested for potency, pesticides, heavy metals, and microbes. Certificates of Analysis (COAs) are available. Simpson had none of this.

Our Origin: A Story of Love, Science, and Second Chances

Our company wasn’t founded in a boardroom. It was founded on the floor of a Houston apartment, beside a paralyzed dog named Bentley.

Colin Valencia, our founder, grew up in the tough border realities of McAllen, Texas. After leaving home young, he built a life in Houston. His dog Bentley, his loyal companion, was diagnosed as paralyzed and facing euthanasia. Conventional vets offered no hope. A rescuer asked Colin a life-altering question: “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and you’ve never heard of CBD?”

That question launched a desperate mission. Colin formulated a CBD-rich “golden paste” and gave it to Bentley. Within days, the dog deemed untreatable got up, walked, and brought Colin his ball to play. Bentley lived another ten years, to the age of twenty. During that decade, Colin became a self-taught cannabinoid formulator, creating specific blends for Bentley’s aging challenges: CBG for neurodegeneration, THCa for arthritis, CBN for sleep.

This was our R&D lab: love applied through science. Colin later used this knowledge to break free from his own PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction, formulating the “Peace Gummies” that now help others. He also spent years doing custom software development for Baylor College of Medicine in the Texas Medical Center, marrying deep plant knowledge with medical-grade technical precision.

Our philosophy is built on this foundation:

1. Accessibility Over Gatekeeping: No medical card required. Anyone 21+ can purchase. We ship nationwide.
2. Open-Source Formulas: We publish our exact recipes. If you can’t afford our product, you can see the blueprint and source ingredients to make your own. This honors Simpson’s “free medicine” ethos in a modern, sustainable way.
3. Evidence-Informed Education: We anchor our claims to the peer-reviewed science you’ll see below, never overstating what the evidence can support.

Media Recognition: Trust Built Through Independent Journalism

Trust isn’t claimed; it’s earned. Between 2019 and 2023, ABC13 Houston (KTRK)—the ABC affiliate for the nation’s fourth-largest media market—featured Colin and OilWell in seven distinct news segments. Reporters turned to him to explain the CBD boom, the rise and fall of Delta-8 THC law, community vaccine initiatives, and the implications of federal pardons for cannabis convictions.

This repeated, independent coverage from a major network affiliate demonstrates a level of credibility and community engagement that most cannabis companies cannot claim. It shows that when serious journalists in the region need a straightforward, knowledgeable voice on cannabis, they call Colin. This body of work provides a verifiable track record of integrity for you in Chambers County to evaluate.

Cannabinoid & Terpene Science: An Evidence-Based Breakdown for Chambers County

We believe you deserve the facts, not just the hype. The science of cannabinoids is promising but uneven. Below is a simplified guide based on the current evidence hierarchy, designed to help you understand what’s in our formula.

Our Evidence Hierarchy: Human clinical trials > Systematic Reviews & Meta-Analyses > Institutional Summaries (like NIH) > Preclinical (animal/lab) studies.

Delta-9 THC: The most well-researched psychoactive cannabinoid.

• Strongest Evidence: FDA-approved synthetic versions for chemotherapy-induced nausea and HIV/AIDS-related appetite loss.
• Chronic Pain: Systematic reviews show it can provide short-term pain relief but often with side effects like dizziness or sedation.
• Safety Notes: High doses are associated with impairment, anxiety, increased heart rate, and risk of dependency. It is the primary driver of psychoactive effects.
• In Our Formula: We include only 90mg of Delta-9 THC in the entire 30ml bottle (3mg/ml), keeping it well under the 0.3% federal limit for legal hemp products.

CBD (Cannabidiol): The most evidence-backed non-intoxicating cannabinoid.

• Strongest Evidence: FDA-approved purified CBD (Epidiolex) for severe seizure disorders like Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.
• Anxiety & Pain: Recent meta-analyses show promising signals for anxiety and pain, but researchers call for more large-scale, consistent studies.
• Safety: Generally well-tolerated but can cause drowsiness, diarrhea, and may interact with certain medications (like blood thinners).
• In Our Formula: 4,500mg. It forms a foundational anti-inflammatory and anxiolytic base.

Delta-8 THC: A psychoactive cannabinoid similar to Delta-9 but less potent.

• Evidence Profile: Pharmacologically active but far less clinically studied than Delta-9. It will cause a high and will trigger a positive drug test.
• Safety Context: Its legal ambiguity has led to a market with variable quality. Our products are lab-tested for purity and potency.
• In Our Formula: 6,000mg. It contributes to the psychoactive and therapeutic potential of the activated formula.

THCa (Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid): The non-psychoactive raw form of THC.

• Key Fact: It is not psychoactive unless heated (decarboxylated). This is the legal cornerstone of our product.
• Research: Preclinical studies suggest anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties, but human clinical data is sparse.
• In Our Formula: 1,500mg. This is your “control switch.” Use it raw for non-impairing benefits, or heat it to convert most of it into ~1,315mg of additional Delta-9 THC.

CBG, CBN, & CBC: The “Minor” Cannabinoids.

• CBG (3,000mg): Preclinical research is very promising for neuroprotection and anti-inflammatory effects, but it is commercially ahead of its human clinical proof.
• CBN (750mg): Heavily marketed for sleep. The reality: a robust 2021 review found no strong clinical trials proving CBN alone is an effective sleep aid. We include it for its potential within the entourage effect and because our anecdata from users is positive, but we are transparent about the evidence gap.
• CBC (750mg): An intriguing minor cannabinoid with unique pharmacology, but like CBG, its human evidence is still emerging.

Terpenes: The Aroma & Potential Synergy. We include a 5% blend of limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene, linalool, humulene, and terpinolene. These give our oil its distinct citrus, pepper, and floral notes. Beta-caryophyllene is particularly interesting as it may directly interact with the body’s CB2 receptors. The “entourage effect” theory—that terpenes and cannabinoids work better together—is plausible and driving exciting research, but definitive human clinical proof is still developing.
