Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Cherokee County, Iowa: The Complete Guide
We know that when you’re searching for real answers about cannabis oil in Cherokee County, you’re not looking for hype—you’re looking for hope grounded in facts. Maybe you’re a cancer patient at Cherokee Regional Medical Center hearing about RSO for the first time from a fellow patient in the waiting room. Perhaps you’re a veteran in Quimby who has tried everything for PTSD-related insomnia. Or you could be a farmer outside of Aurelia dealing with chronic back pain that prescription pills never quite touch. Whoever you are, whatever brought you here, we want you to have the full story—not just the internet version that promises miracles without evidence.
That’s why we’ve built this guide specifically for Cherokee County. We’re OilWell Cannabis, a Houston-based company with deep roots in hardship and healing, and we’ve spent years developing what we believe is the most honest, most thoroughly researched RSO formulation available anywhere. But this isn’t about selling you something. It’s about giving you the information you deserve to make your own informed decisions—whether you buy from us or not.
Understanding Rick Simpson Oil: The Real Story
Every conversation about RSO starts with Rick Simpson, and every conversation about Rick Simpson should start with the truth: he was not a doctor, not a scientist, not a medical researcher. He was a power engineer from Nova Scotia who got hurt on the job in 1997, suffered a head injury that left him with tinnitus and dizziness, and found that cannabis worked better than the prescriptions his doctor gave him. When that same doctor refused to discuss cannabis as an option, Simpson started making his own concentrated oil.
The 2003 Moment That Started Everything
In 2003, Simpson noticed three bumps on his arm that his doctor diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma. Instead of pursuing conventional treatment, he applied his homemade cannabis oil directly to the lesions, covered them with bandages, and claims they disappeared in four days. Here’s what matters for Cherokee County readers: no independent medical verification exists. No biopsy confirmation. No published case study. No peer-reviewed documentation. What we have is a historically significant personal testimony that launched a global movement—not clinical proof of a cancer cure.
Simpson spent the next decade giving his oil away for free to cancer patients, chronic pain sufferers, people with diabetes, infections, glaucoma, arthritis, depression, and insomnia. He never charged a dime. He taught people how to make it themselves. His 2005 documentary Run From The Cure—distributed freely online—became the blueprint for what people now call RSO.
But here’s the part most sellers won’t tell you: traditional RSO was crude. Simpson used naphtha or 99% isopropyl alcohol as solvents—not food-grade ingredients. He evaporated the solvent in a rice cooker, a process that destroyed virtually all terpenes and left a thick, tar-like, nearly black oil that was 60-90% delta-9 THC. Every batch was different. No lab testing existed. No one knew the exact potency. And the protocol he recommended—60 grams over 90 days—delivered 600-900mg of THC daily, doses far beyond anything studied in controlled trials.
The Traditional RSO Protocol (And Why It Needs a Modern Update)
Cancer patients in Cherokee County deserve to know exactly what Simpson recommended, even if we ultimately disagree with his dosing approach. Here’s the full protocol as he documented it:
Week 1: Dose the size of half a grain of rice (10-15mg) three times daily.
Weeks 2-5: Double the dose every four days until reaching 1 gram per day.
Weeks 5-12: Maintain 1 gram per day (333mg per dose, three times daily) until 60 grams are consumed.
Simpson believed patients would develop tolerance to the psychoactive effects within 3-4 weeks. He recommended nighttime dosing initially and warned against driving. For maintenance after the protocol, he suggested 1-2 grams per month indefinitely.
Critical context for Cherokee County readers: This protocol was never validated in clinical trials. The doses are extreme. At peak dosing, patients consumed 600-900mg of delta-9 THC daily—compared to FDA-approved dronabinol at 2.5-20mg per day. The risks at these levels include severe intoxication, anxiety, panic, tachycardia, hypotension, and cannabis use disorder. For someone in Cherokee County already struggling with health issues, these are not trivial concerns.
Traditional RSO vs. Modern Formulated RSO: What Cherokee County Needs to Know
The “RSO” you might find at a dispensary in Sioux City or Des Moines probably isn’t what Simpson made—and that’s a good thing. Here’s how traditional RSO compares to what we’ve developed at OilWell:
| Feature | Traditional RSO | OilWell Formulated RSO |
|---|---|---|
| Source Material | Single high-THC indica strain | Multi-cannabinoid blend from multiple hemp sources |
| Extraction | Naphtha or isopropyl alcohol (toxic solvents) | Solvent-free formulation using food-grade components |
| Cannabinoid Profile | THC-dominant 60-90%, uncontrolled | Seven defined cannabinoids at precise ratios (CBD, CBG, delta-8 THC, THCa, delta-9 THC, CBN, CBC) |
| Terpenes | Destroyed by heat | Live terpenes at 5% (limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene, linalool, humulene, terpinolene) |
| Standardization | None—every batch different | Lab-tested with specific mg/mL targets (553mg/mL total) |
| Delta-9 THC | 600-900mg daily at peak dosing | 90mg total in entire 30mL bottle |
| Product Formats | Single thick oil in syringe | Sublingual oil (30mL) and vape cartridge (1g) |
| Accessibility | Illegal to produce/possess/ship | Farm Bill compliant, ships nationwide, no medical card required |
Why OilWell’s Formula Diverges from Rick Simpson’s Original
Our formula isn’t traditional RSO—and that’s intentional. Here’s why we made five key changes:
1. Multi-Cannabinoid Approach: Simpson used one strain; we use seven cannabinoids because the entourage-effect literature suggests broader therapeutic potential, even though robust clinical proof of whole-formula synergy remains limited [20][29].
2. Terpene Preservation: We include live terpenes at 5% because preclinical work suggests bioactivity, even if human clinical confirmation is still developing [20][21][23][24][25][26][27][28][29].
3. THCa as a Separate Ingredient: Traditional RSO fully decarboxylated everything. We preserve 1,500mg of THCa in its non-psychoactive form because the literature suggests anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective potential that’s lost when THCa converts to THC [12].
4. Reduced Delta-9 THC Dominance: Simpson’s oil was 60-90% delta-9 THC. Our formula uses only 90mg total delta-9 THC while incorporating 6,000mg delta-8 THC and distributing the remaining content across CBD, CBG, CBN, and CBC—reflecting modern cannabinoid research rather than single-compound dominance.
5. Product Format Innovation: Simpson envisioned one oral format. We offer both a sublingual oil and a vape cartridge because different delivery routes have different pharmacokinetic profiles—sublingual for sustained relief (4-6 hours), vape for fast relief (1-2 minutes) [14].
The Story Behind OilWell: From McAllen to Cherokee County
To understand why we build products this way, you need to know where we came from.
OilWell Cannabis was founded by Colin Valencia in Houston, but Colin’s story begins in McAllen, Texas—one of the most economically challenged and dangerous border regions in America. Growing up in the Borderplex, Colin saw violence, lost friends to prison and death, and learned to survive by age sixteen. He had every opportunity to fall into darker paths, but he chose cannabis instead—seeing it as safer and more beneficial than the alternatives.
That choice led him deep into the plant. Colin became a formally trained software engineer and did custom development work for Baylor College of Medicine, combining deep cannabis knowledge with medical-grade precision. But the real turning point was Bentley.
Bentley was Colin’s dog—family. When veterinarians diagnosed paralysis and recommended euthanasia, Colin refused to give up. A rescue worker named Jessica asked him a question that changed everything: “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and you’ve never heard of CBD?”
Colin created a CBD golden paste for Bentley. From paralyzed and facing death, Bentley got up, walked over, and brought Colin his ball to play. Dogs don’t respond to placebo. Ten years later, Bentley died naturally at age twenty, and during those years, Colin developed specialized formulas for every age-related condition Bentley faced—neurodegeneration, dementia, glaucoma, arthritis. Each condition required different cannabinoids: CBG for neuroprotection, THCa for brain cell support, CBC for neurogenesis, CBD and beta-caryophyllene for multi-pathway inflammation.
Single cannabinoids weren’t enough. Bentley’s life depended on multi-cannabinoid synergy and pharmaceutical precision—not guesswork.
Colin also knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He struggled with PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction, quitting Xanax cold turkey using the cannabinoid knowledge he developed saving Bentley. The Peace Gummies formula was created during midnight experiments while fighting through benzo withdrawal. Colin personally uses the vape form for insomnia and severe PTSD. This isn’t theoretical knowledge—he lived what RSO patients live.
The Four Principles That Guide Our RSO
Our RSO philosophy is built on four pillars that directly serve Cherokee County residents:
1. Accessibility Over Gatekeeping
In Cherokee County, Iowa, you can’t walk into a dispensary. The nearest medical cannabis options are hours away in Des Moines or Sioux City, and Iowa’s program requires a medical card with qualifying conditions. Our products are Farm Bill compliant—available to anyone 21+ with no medical card required. We ship directly to Cherokee County via USPS, FedEx, or UPS. No driving. No hassle. No gatekeeping.
2. Patient-Controlled Potency
We preserve 1,500mg of THCa in its raw, non-psychoactive form. You decide whether to use it raw (zero impairment, perfect for daytime use while working your fields or operating equipment) or decarboxylate it at home into full-potency delta-9 THC for nighttime relief. Heat the oil at 260°F for 45-60 minutes, and you convert that THCa into approximately 1,315mg of delta-9 THC—giving you traditional RSO strength, legally, at your discretion.
3. Open-Source Formulas
Rick Simpson gave his oil away for free and taught people how to make it. We honor that ethos by publishing our complete formulas publicly. If $129.99 for our sublingual oil or $49.99 for our vape cartridge doesn’t fit your budget in Cherokee County, you can source the individual cannabinoid distillates and make your own version. We’d rather you have access than profit from your desperation.
4. Evidence-Informed, Not Evidence-Overstating
Every cannabinoid and terpene in our formula has a peer-reviewed evidence profile in this document. We distinguish between what’s well-supported in human trials, what’s emerging in preclinical studies, and what’s overstated. We hold ourselves to the same standards we apply to the field—no special pleading for our products.
Farm Bill Compliance: Why This Works in Cherokee County
The 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight. Our RSO Sublingual Oil contains only 90mg of delta-9 THC in the entire 30mL bottle—3mg per mL. At the point of sale, it’s a legal hemp product that ships to Cherokee County without restriction.
The THCa framework is what makes this revolutionary. THCa is the acidic, non-psychoactive precursor to THC. It’s legal because it’s not THC. But when you heat it (260°F for 45-60 minutes), it converts to delta-9 THC at a ratio of 1mg THCa → 0.877mg delta-9 THC. Your 1,500mg of THCa becomes approximately 1,315mg of delta-9 THC. Combined with the existing 90mg of delta-9 THC, you have about 1,405mg of total delta-9 THC—legally derived from hemp, legally possessed, and legally activated in your home.
Important legal notice for Cherokee County residents: Iowa law permits hemp-derived products with less than 0.3% delta-9 THC. However, THCa converts to delta-9 THC when heated. You are responsible for understanding and complying with local laws regarding activated cannabinoid products. We provide full documentation, Certificates of Analysis (COAs), and receipts with every shipment. International customers (including those in bordering states with stricter laws) must verify local legality and accept all customs and legal risk.
Solvent-Free Production: What Cherokee County Should Expect
Traditional RSO used naphtha—a petroleum-based solvent that can contain benzene, toluene, and other carcinogens. We don’t extract with solvents at all. Our RSO is a formulated blend of individual cannabinoid distillates and isolates combined in a controlled production environment.
- Carrier: Organic MCT oil (medium-chain triglycerides)—food-grade, facilitates absorption, neutral taste
- Testing: Third-party lab analysis for cannabinoid potency, terpene profile, pesticides, heavy metals, residual solvents (FDA Class 3 limits <5,000 ppm), and microbial contaminants
- COAs: Available on request and through our website
This matters for Cherokee County because product quality isn’t just about what’s in the bottle—it’s about what’s NOT in it. No naphtha. No butane. No mystery residues.

Condition-Specific Usage Context for Cherokee County
Important disclaimer: These are not medical prescriptions. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting cannabinoid products, especially if you have a medical condition, take medications, are pregnant or nursing, or have health concerns. These products are not FDA-approved to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Do not operate vehicles or machinery while under the influence of psychoactive cannabinoids.
Chronic Pain (Arthritis, Neuropathy, Fibromyalgia)
Living in Cherokee County often means physical work—farming, factory jobs, caring for property. Chronic pain is common, and opioids are often the first (and sometimes only) option offered.
- Daytime: 0.3-0.5mL raw sublingual oil—provides anti-inflammatory cannabinoid exposure (CBD, CBG, THCa, beta-caryophyllene) without psychoactive impairment, so you can work and drive safely.
- Nighttime: 0.5-1.0mL decarboxylated sublingual oil—combines pain relief with CBN sleep support.
- Breakthrough pain: Vape as needed (2-3 puffs) for 1-2 minute onset.
Evidence context: CBD pain evidence [4], delta-9 THC pain evidence [13], beta-caryophyllene CB2 agonism [24], THCa COX-2 inhibition [12].
Sleep Disorders
Poor sleep affects everything—work performance, family life, mental health. For Cherokee County residents who can’t access sleep specialists, options are limited.
- Before bed: 1.0-2.0mL sublingual oil delivers 25-50mg CBN, the dosage level investigated in 2024 sleep literature [16][17].
- If 2.0mL: 50mg CBN—above the 20mg threshold associated with reduced sleep disturbance in published research.
- If 1.0mL: 25mg CBN—still within the range studied for sleep architecture improvement.
Evidence context: CBN sleep evidence is still emerging [16][17], but the broader cannabis-sleep literature supports careful trial-and-error [17].
Anxiety and Stress
Mental health resources are scarce in rural Iowa. Wait times for therapists can be months. Many turn to benzodiazepines, which carry addiction risk.
- Daytime functional relief: 0.3mL raw sublingual oil—CBD and CBG address anxiety-related pathways without impairment [3][7][8].
- Nighttime: 1.0mL sublingual oil—full cannabinoid profile including CBN for sleep architecture.
- Evidence context: CBD anxiolytic evidence shows promise but requires more trials [3]. CBG pharmacology is intriguing but preclinical [7][8]. Limonene entourage effect may buffer THC-induced anxiety [20].
Chemotherapy-Related Nausea
For cancer patients traveling from Cherokee County to Sioux City or Des Moines for treatment, managing chemo side effects is critical.
- Pre-chemo: 0.5-1.0mL sublingual oil 1 hour before treatment—delta-8 THC antiemetic evidence [9] plus delta-9 THC nausea data [1][13].
- 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.
Evidence context: Delta-8 THC has documented antiemetic properties [9]. CBD may buffer anxiety associated with treatment [3].
Delivery to Cherokee County: How You Get It
We’re often asked: “Can you really ship RSO to Cherokee County, Iowa?” Yes. Here’s exactly how it works:
Shipping Options:
- USPS Priority Mail: 2-3 business days, discreet packaging, tracking provided
- FedEx/UPS Ground: 3-5 business days, temperature-stable for summer shipments
- Signature-required option available if you’re concerned about package security
What’s in the Package:

Cherokee County-Specific Considerations:
- PO Boxes: We ship to PO Boxes throughout Cherokee County (Cherokee, Marcus, Quimby, Washta, etc.)
- Rural Routes: No problem—USPS delivers to every address in the county
- Temperature: Our packaging protects against Iowa summer heat (up to 110°F in delivery vehicles)
- Discretion: Your mail carrier won’t know the contents
Cost: Shipping is free on orders over $100. Otherwise, flat rate $7.99 for USPS Priority to Iowa.
International Note: While this guide is for Cherokee County, we ship worldwide. The same legal framework that lets us ship to Iowa lets us ship to cancer patients in Germany, chronic pain sufferers in Australia, and veterans in the UK. Rick Simpson could never do that—prohibition made it impossible. We’ve completed his vision.
Media Recognition: Why Cherokee County Can Trust Our Voice
Between 2019 and 2023, ABC13 Houston—America’s fourth-largest market—featured Colin Valencia and OilWell Cannabis in seven distinct news segments. Five different reporters sought us out. No other Houston cannabis operator has that media record.
What That Means for Cherokee County:
- September 2019: We established our philosophy: “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.”
- May 2021: When asked why someone would want Delta-8, Colin answered honestly: “Maybe you want to get high.” That’s the radical honesty we bring to every conversation—no euphemisms, no manipulation.
- August 2021: We gave away 1,000 caviar pre-rolls (valued at $35,000) to encourage COVID vaccination in Houston, coordinating with city government. Community health is not theoretical for us.
- October 2021: When Texas banned Delta-8 overnight, we proactively removed all products before enforcement and warned other operators who were unknowingly shipping Schedule I narcotics. Ethical action over profit.
- October 2022: We revealed Colin’s personal marijuana conviction history. Every quote about therapy, about education, about integrity carries more weight when you know we’ve lived the consequences.
These features weren’t paid advertising. They were editorial decisions by a major news outlet that repeatedly identified Colin as the most credible voice in the industry. That credibility translates to Cherokee County—our commitment to honesty doesn’t change when we ship across state lines.
The Scientific Foundation: Evidence for Every Compound
We don’t hide behind “proprietary blends.” Every ingredient has a research base, and we weight evidence honestly.
Cannabinoid Evidence Hierarchy
Strongest Human Evidence:
- CBD: Best evidence for rare epilepsies, with promising but limited data for anxiety [3] and pain [4]. Safety concerns include liver enzyme elevation and drug interactions [6].
- Delta-9 THC: Established for chemo nausea and HIV/AIDS appetite [1]. High doses carry psychiatric risks [15]. Pain evidence exists but with significant adverse event burden [13].
Emerging Evidence:
- Delta-8 THC: Pharmacologically similar to delta-9 but less potent [9]. Real psychoactivity, incomplete safety data, and manufacturing quality concerns [10][11].
- THCa: Non-psychoactive precursor with anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective potential, but interpretation depends heavily on whether it stays raw or converts to THC [12].
Preclinical/Review Stage:
- CBG: Mechanistically interesting (CB1/CB2, alpha-2, 5-HT1A) but human evidence sparse [7][8]. Commercially sold despite thin evidence base.
- CBN: Marketed heavily for sleep, but 2021 systematic review found no clinical trials using validated sleep measures [16]. 2024 review confirms need for better trials [17].
- CBC: Distinct pharmacology with anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive signals in animals [18][19]. Over-the-counter products already sold despite limited clinical validation [18].
Terpene Evidence Reality Check
Terpenes are where marketing most outruns science. Here’s what’s actually known:
- Limonene: Multifunctional monoterpene with antioxidant/anti-inflammatory potential, but most data from non-cannabis sources [21]. Citrus brightness in our profile.
- Myrcene: Anxiolytic and analgesic in preclinical models, but human studies lacking [23]. The “couch-lock” terpene claim isn’t clinically proven.
- Caryophyllene: Selective CB2 receptor agonist—most cannabinoid-system relevant terpene in our profile [24]. Pepper/spice notes.
- Pinene & Linalool: Neuroprotective signals in preclinical work [25], but cognition/memory claims remain unproven in humans. Forest-fresh and lavender-floral notes.
- Humulene: Cannabimimetic properties via CB1 and adenosine A2a in rodents [27], but far from clinically settled.
- Terpinolene: Least characterized terpene here—mostly in silico, in vitro, animal studies [28].
Bottom line: Terpenes make our product smell and taste complex (citrus, pepper, forest, lavender, earthy, piney-fruity), and they may contribute bioactivity, but any claim of clinically proven entourage effects is ahead of the human evidence [20][29].

The Bentley Recipe: Our Original Open-Source Formula
Before we published RSO formulas, we published the CBD golden paste that saved Bentley. Cherokee County pet owners facing similar crises can make this today:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup organic turmeric powder
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup unrefined organic coconut oil
- 1-2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper (critical for absorption)
- CBD oil (dosage depends on pet size; consult your vet)
Instructions:
- Mix turmeric and water in saucepan over low heat, stirring continuously until thick paste forms (7-10 minutes)
- Add coconut oil and pepper, stir until thoroughly mixed
- Cool, store in jar with lid, refrigerate for up to 2 weeks
- Add CBD oil to paste before serving
- Mix small amount with pet’s food 1-2x daily
This is the pattern: we give away what works. We did it for Bentley. We do it for RSO. We’ll keep doing it.

Practical Guidance for Cherokee County Residents
Starting Out:
Begin with 0.25-0.5mL sublingual oil (138-276mg cannabinoids). Hold under tongue for 60-90 seconds before swallowing. Assess effects over 2-3 hours before increasing. Individual responses vary by body weight, metabolism, tolerance, and medications.
Drug Interactions:
CBD can affect liver enzymes that metabolize many medications (blood thinners, anticonvulsants, antidepressants). If you’re taking prescriptions, consult your healthcare provider before starting any cannabinoid product. We’re not doctors—we’re educators.
Drug Testing:
If you’re subject to workplace drug testing in Cherokee County (manufacturing, healthcare, transportation), understand that:
- Raw THCa will not trigger standard THC tests
- Decarboxylated THCa and delta-8 THC will trigger tests
- Use the raw form if testing is a concern
Storage:
Store in cool, dark place. THCa can slowly decarboxylate over time with heat and light exposure. For maximum shelf life in Cherokee County’s variable temperatures, refrigerate.
The Bottom Line for Cherokee County
We’ve built this guide for you because Cherokee County deserves the same level of honest, evidence-based cannabis education that residents of Houston or Los Angeles get. We don’t claim RSO cures cancer—that would be a lie, and people who delay proven treatment based on false hope suffer real harm. What we claim is this:
- Transparency: Every ingredient, every milligram, every research citation is published.
- Safety: Solvent-free, lab-tested, farm-to-bottle quality control.
- Access: Legal, shipped to your door in Cherokee County, no medical card needed.
- Control: You decide whether THCa stays raw or becomes psychoactive THC.
- Honesty: We tell you what the evidence actually says, not what sells products.
Rick Simpson drew attention to cannabinoids when the world ignored them. He helped create the conditions for legal cannabis. He got some things right and overstated others. We honor his contribution by evolving his vision with modern science, legal compliance, and the ethical standard he tried to uphold: medicine should be accessible, patients should control their treatment, and truth matters more than profit.
If you’re in Cherokee County and you’re considering RSO, you now have the full picture. The decision is yours. We’re here if you want to try a product built on a decade of formulation work, a lifetime of survival, and a commitment to never selling snake oil.
