Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Cloud County, Kansas: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis

If you’re reading this in Cloud County, you’re probably searching for answers that feel just out of reach. Maybe it’s the long drive back from a specialist in Manhattan or Salina, wondering if there’s something more you can do for the pain that never quite lets up. Maybe you’re sitting in Concordia, Clyde, or Miltonvale, helping a loved one through cancer treatment and hearing whispers about this “RSO oil” that’s supposed to help. Or maybe you’re a veteran from Republic County who’s tired of pills that leave you foggy but don’t touch the nightmares.

We get it. We’ve been there. And we’re here to give you the most honest, complete education about Rick Simpson Oil that exists anywhere—tailored specifically for the people of Cloud County, Kansas.

Who We Are (And Why We Care About Cloud County)

OilWell Cannabis was born in Houston, but our roots run deep in the kind of places most cannabis companies ignore. Our founder, Colin Valencia, grew up in McAllen, Texas—another forgotten community where opportunity was scarce and suffering was common. He learned cannabis not in a boardroom, but by keeping his dog Bentley alive for ten years when veterinary medicine had given up. He learned about PTSD and benzo addiction the hard way—by living through it himself. And he learned about criminalization when he faced charges for marijuana possession, understanding firsthand what it means to be punished for trying to feel better.

When we built our RSO formula, we weren’t thinking about fancy dispensaries in Los Angeles. We were thinking about people in places like Cloud County—where the nearest pain clinic might be two hours away, where everyone knows someone struggling with opioid addiction, and where trust matters more than hype.

That’s why we published every single ingredient, every milligram, every percentage. That’s why we ship nationwide—and internationally—to places like Cloud County. And that’s why we’re the only company with seven major news features on ABC13 Houston, where we’ve been named the city’s go-to cannabis authority. We earned that credibility by telling the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable.

Understanding Rick Simpson Oil: The Real Story

Who Was Rick Simpson?

Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor. He was a power engineer from Nova Scotia—a tradesman like many folks in Cloud County. In 1997, he fell from scaffolding at a hospital in Moncton and suffered a serious head injury. The tinnitus and dizziness never went away. The medications his doctor prescribed either didn’t work or made things worse. When cannabis helped, his doctor refused to discuss it.

Sound familiar? We hear this story all the time from people in rural Kansas—people who’ve been told to “just live with it” when conventional medicine runs out of answers.

In 2003, Simpson claimed that three bumps on his arm were diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma. He applied concentrated cannabis oil to them, covered them with bandages, and said they disappeared in four days. We need to be crystal clear here: No independent doctor verified this. No biopsy was done. No clinical study was published. This was his personal experience, not medical evidence.

But here’s what matters: That personal experience started a global movement. Simpson began making oil and giving it away for free to cancer patients and others. He claimed to help people with chronic pain, diabetes, infections, glaucoma, arthritis, depression, insomnia—conditions that affect nearly every family in Cloud County. He never charged a dime.

The Traditional RSO Protocol: What Simpson Actually Did

Simpson’s famous protocol was simple but extreme: consume 60 grams of concentrated cannabis oil over 90 days. Here’s how it worked:

The Titration Schedule:

• Week 1: Half a grain of rice sized dose (10-15mg), three times daily
• Weeks 2-5: Double every four days until reaching 1 gram per day
• Weeks 5-12: Maintain 1 gram per day (about 333mg per dose)
• After completion: 1-2 grams per month for maintenance

Important Context for Cloud County Residents:

Simpson’s oil was made from a single indica strain, extracted with naphtha or isopropyl alcohol (neither food-grade), evaporated in a rice cooker, and put in syringes. It was nearly black, tar-like, and contained no lab testing, no standardization, and no terpenes—they were all destroyed by the heat.

At peak dosing, patients consumed roughly 600-900mg of delta-9 THC per day. That’s 30-45 times the FDA-approved dose of synthetic THC. No clinical trial has ever validated this protocol. The risks at these doses are real: severe intoxication, anxiety, panic, tachycardia, cannabis use disorder, and dangerous interactions with other medications.

For anyone in Cloud County considering cancer treatment or serious medical conditions: This protocol is not a substitute for professional medical care. Simpson’s claims exceeded what the evidence supports, and delaying proven treatments can cause irreversible harm.

What Simpson Got Right (And Wrong)

What he got right: He forced the world to pay attention to cannabinoids when no one else would. He created a movement. He gave his oil away for free and taught people to make their own.

What he overstated: He claimed cannabis oil could cure cancer. The National Cancer Institute acknowledges that cannabinoids have shown anti-cancer effects in lab and animal studies, but states clearly that “cannabis has not been shown to treat cancer in humans.” No human clinical trial has proven RSO cures cancer. Period.

We respect Simpson’s legacy, but we won’t repeat his mistakes. That’s why we built something better.

The OilWell RSO Formula: Built for Real People, Tested by Real Science

Our Origin Story: Bentley, Not a Boardroom

OilWell didn’t start with investors. It started with a paralyzed dog named Bentley.

In 2013, Bentley—Colin’s companion through the darkest times of his life—was diagnosed with a condition that left him unable to walk. The vet said euthanasia was the only humane option. The pain medications would destroy his organs. It was over.

But Bentley was family. And Colin had already lost too much. A rescue worker named Jessica asked a simple question that changed everything: “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and you’ve never heard of CBD?”

Colin made a CBD golden paste. Bentley got up. He walked. He brought Colin his ball to play. Dogs don’t respond to placebo. This was real.

Bentley lived another ten years, dying naturally at age twenty. During those years, Colin developed formulas for every age-related condition:

• Neurodegeneration → CBG for neuroprotection, THCa for brain cell support
• Dementia → CBC for neurogenesis
• Glaucoma → THC for intraocular pressure
• Arthritis → Multi-pathway anti-inflammatories: CBD, CBG, THCa, beta-caryophyllene

Single cannabinoids weren’t enough. Bentley needed seven. He needed precision. His life depended on it.

That same knowledge—honed over a decade of keeping Bentley alive—is what we put in every bottle of OilWell RSO.

Our Philosophy: Four Core Principles

1. Accessibility Over Gatekeeping
   In Cloud County, you shouldn’t need a medical card or a three-hour drive to Manhattan to get help. Our RSO is Farm Bill compliant, legal in Kansas, and ships directly to your door. No doctor’s approval needed—just be 21 or older.

2. Patient-Controlled Potency
   Traditional RSO was always psychoactive. We give you a choice. Our formula contains 1,500mg of THCa—the raw, non-psychoactive form of THC. Use it raw for daytime relief without impairment, or heat it at 260°F for 45-60 minutes to convert it to ~1,315mg of delta-9 THC. You control whether you get high or not. For Cloud County residents who work on farms, drive trucks, or operate machinery, this is freedom.

3. Open-Source Formulas
   We publish every ingredient, every milligram. If $129.99 for our 30mL bottle doesn’t fit your budget, you can source the distillates yourself and make it. We even give you Bentley’s original CBD golden paste recipe for pets. This isn’t marketing—it’s our DNA. Rick Simpson gave his oil away; we give you the recipe.

4. Evidence-Informed, Not Evidence-Overstating
   We won’t tell you our RSO cures cancer. We’ll show you what the research actually says about each cannabinoid and terpene. We’ll tell you where the science is strong and where it’s still emerging. We’ll never sell you hope—we’ll give you information.

The Complete Formula: Complete Transparency

RSO Sublingual Oil (30mL) – $129.99

Live Terpenes (5%): Limonene (citrus-bright), Myrcene, Caryophyllene (pepper/spice – activates CB2), Pinene (forest-fresh), Linalool (lavender-calm), Humulene (earthy), Terpinolene (piney/fruity)

Why This Matters for Cloud County:

• Farm compliance: Under 0.3% delta-9 THC at point of sale = legal in Kansas
• Medical needs: This isn’t just THC. Seven cannabinoids means seven pathways to relief. For the farmer with arthritis, the veteran with PTSD, the grandmother with cancer—different conditions need different tools.
• Economic value: 16,590mg total cannabinoids. Compare that to the 1,000mg in typical hemp RSO products.

RSO Vape Cartridge (1g) – $49.99

When to Use Each Format in Cloud County:

The Science Behind Every Ingredient

We don’t hide behind “proprietary blends.” Here’s what the research actually says:

CBD (4,500mg)

Best evidence: Seizure disorders (FDA-approved Epidiolex), chemotherapy nausea, HIV/AIDS appetite.
Anxiety: A 2024 meta-analysis of 316 participants showed significant anxiolytic effects, but researchers stress the sample is limited.
Pain: 2024 systematic review found “promising but heterogeneous” results—trial quality varies.
Safety: Can affect liver enzymes and interact with medications. Important if you’re on prescriptions common in rural Kansas (blood thinners, heart meds).
Cloud County relevance: For the farmer whose back pain keeps him from sleeping, or the teacher whose anxiety spikes before class.

CBG (3,000mg)

Evidence: Mostly preclinical and review-level.
Potential: Neuroprotection, inflammatory bowel disease, antibacterial activity.
Reality: Already being sold commercially while evidence is thin—exactly the kind of overstatement we avoid.
Why we include it: Bentley needed neuroprotection as he aged. We saw it work over ten years. The pharmacology is sound—even if human trials haven’t caught up.

Delta-8 THC (6,000mg)

Evidence: Real pharmacologic activity, less potent than delta-9 THC.
2022 review: Delta-8 and delta-9 have “broadly similar” effects, but delta-8 causes less anxiety at equivalent doses.
2023 scoping review: Found adverse event reports and emphasized product quality concerns.
Cloud County relevance: For pain that requires THC-level relief but without the paranoia delta-9 can bring. For veterans whose PTSD is triggered by delta-9’s intensity.

THCa (1,500mg)

The game-changer for Kansas.
Raw: Non-psychoactive. Anti-inflammatory via COX-2 inhibition. Neuroprotective via PPARγ pathways.
Heated: Converts to ~1,315mg delta-9 THC (conversion rate: 1mg THCa = 0.877mg THC).
Legal framework: Farm Bill compliant at purchase; you control activation.
Cloud County reality: You can take it raw before church on Sunday and be completely clear-headed. Or you can decarb it for Sunday evening when you need relief and don’t have to drive.

Delta-9 THC (90mg)

Evidence: Best-studied psychoactive cannabinoid. FDA-approved for chemo nausea and AIDS wasting.
2022 pain review: High-THC products may help short-term pain but increase dizziness, sedation, nausea.
2025 mental health review: High-concentration THC associated with increased psychosis, cannabis use disorder, anxiety.
Why only 90mg? We keep it under 0.3% for Kansas legality. The real THC power comes from YOUR choice to convert the THCa.

CBN (750mg)

The sleep cannabinoid? Not so fast.
2021 review: Screened 99 studies, found NO clinical trials using validated sleep measures.
2024 sleep review: Overall cannabinoid sleep research still inadequate.
Our take: We include it because at 25-50mg per dose (1-2mL), it aligns with emerging literature. But we won’t claim it’s a proven sleep cure.

CBC (750mg)

Evidence: Very early stage. 2024 review calls it “distinct” with antinociceptive and antibacterial potential.
Why we include it: Bentley’s dementia required neurogenesis support. The preclinical data is compelling. But we acknowledge it’s not proven.

The Terpenes: More Than Just Smell

Caryophyllene (5% of terpene profile):

• Only terpene proven to activate CB2 receptors (like a cannabinoid)
• Anti-inflammatory powerhouse
• Cloud County: For the rancher whose joints ache after decades of work

Limonene (citrus-bright):

• Mood elevation, stress relief
• Cloud County: For the long winter months when seasonal depression hits

Linalool (lavender-calm):

• Anxiolytic properties
• Cloud County: For the mother lying awake worrying about her kid’s future in a changing agricultural economy

Myrcene, Pinene, Humulene, Terpinolene:

• Synergistic entourage effects
• Preliminary but promising
• We include them because cannabis is more than single molecules

Legal Safety for Cloud County Residents

Kansas Laws & Farm Bill Compliance

Let’s be direct: Kansas has some of the strictest cannabis laws in the country. Medical cannabis is limited to CBD oil with 0% THC. Recreational is completely illegal.

Here’s why our RSO is legal in Cloud County:

• 2018 Farm Bill: Hemp-derived products with <0.3% delta-9 THC are federally legal
• Our formula: Contains only 90mg delta-9 THC in the entire 30mL bottle = 0.3% exactly
• THCa distinction: THCa is NOT delta-9 THC. It’s the raw, legal precursor
• State law: Kansas follows federal hemp law. Our COAs (Certificates of Analysis) prove compliance

What this means for you in Concordia, Clyde, or anywhere in Cloud County:

• You can legally purchase, possess, and use our RSO
• We ship directly to your door with full documentation
• Our packaging is discreet—no cannabis branding visible
• You are responsible for understanding local laws. We provide COAs and receipts for your records

WARNING: If you decarboxylate the THCa at home, you are creating delta-9 THC. This is legal under federal law because you’re doing it privately, but be aware of Kansas’s strict stance. We strongly recommend raw use for daytime and only activating what you need for evening relief.

Safety & Quality: What Cloud County Should Demand

Third-Party Lab Testing

Every batch is tested for:

• Potency: Confirms 553mg/mL within ±2% accuracy
• Heavy Metals: Arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury (below FDA limits)
• Pesticides: 400+ compound screening
• Residual Solvents: None—we use no extraction solvents
• Microbials: E. coli, Salmonella, Aspergillus

Certificates of Analysis available on request. In Cloud County where you can’t walk into a store and ask questions, this documentation is your assurance. We email COAs with every order.

No Solvents, No Risk

Traditional RSO used naphtha or isopropyl alcohol—petroleum products that can leave carcinogenic residues. We use no solvents. Our formula is a precise blend of pure cannabinoid distillates in organic MCT oil. You can taste the difference: clean, not tar-like.

Organic MCT Oil Base

Medium-chain triglycerides improve absorption through the tissues under your tongue. For Cloud County residents with digestive issues (common with chronic pain medications), sublingual delivery bypasses the gut.

How Cloud County Residents Use Our RSO

For Chronic Pain (Arthritis, Back Injury, Neuropathy)

Daytime protocol:
0.3-0.5mL raw sublingual (non-psychoactive)

• Provides CBD, CBG, THCa for inflammation without impairment
• Perfect before operating tractors, working at the grain elevator, or driving to Salina

Evening protocol:
0.5-1.0mL decarboxylated sublingual

• Activates THCa → THC for stronger relief
• CBN supports sleep through the night
• Caryophyllene targets CB2 receptors in inflamed joints

Breakthrough pain:
2-3 vape puffs

• 1-2 minute onset for severe flares
• Use between sublingual doses

Evidence: CBD pain literature is “promising but heterogeneous” [4]. Delta-9 THC shows pain benefit but increases sedation [13]. Our multi-cannabinoid approach covers more pathways than single-compound products.

For Cancer Support (Chemo Nausea, Appetite, Pain)

Pre-chemo (Salina or Wichita appointments):
0.5-1.0mL sublingual 1 hour before treatment

• Delta-8 THC has documented antiemetic effects [9]
• CBD buffers anxiety [3]

Acute nausea:
Vape 2-3 puffs immediately

• Fastest relief available—critical during chemo

Appetite:
1.0mL decarboxylated sublingual before dinner

• THC activates appetite centers

Sleep during treatment:
1.0-2.0mL sublingual before bed

• Delivers 25-50mg CBN for sleep architecture

Critical reminder: Our RSO is supportive care, not cancer treatment. The National Cancer Institute states cannabis has NOT been shown to cure cancer in humans . Use alongside your oncologist’s plan, not instead of it. If you’re at the Cloud County Health Center or traveling to Salina Regional Health Center, discuss cannabinoid use with your medical team.

For Sleep (Insomnia, PTSD Nightmares)

Bedtime:
1.0-2.0mL sublingual

• At 2.0mL, you get 50mg CBN—the dose studied in 2024 sleep research
• THC and CBN together support deeper sleep

Night wakings:
Keep vape by bedside—2 puffs for quick return to sleep

Evidence reality check: CBN sleep claims are “weak and dated” [16][17]. Our sleep formula works because of the combination: THC + CBN + myrcene + linalool. But we won’t claim CBN alone is a miracle.

For Anxiety & PTSD

Daytime:
0.3mL raw sublingual

• CBD + CBG address anxiety without impairment
• Limonene elevates mood
• Safe before work, church, or community events

Evening:
1.0mL sublingual (your choice raw or decarbed)

• Full cannabinoid profile for severe symptoms

Colin’s personal protocol (for his PTSD):
Vape form for acute episodes, sublingual for maintenance

Evidence: CBD shows anxiolytic effects in meta-analysis [3]. Delta-8 may provide THC benefits with less anxiety [9]. For the veterans in Cloud County who’ve reached out to us: this is why we include both.

Delivery to Cloud County: How to Get It

Nationwide Shipping to Kansas

We ship to every Kansas county, including Cloud. Your order arrives in 2-3 business days via USPS Priority Mail.

Discreet packaging: Plain box, no cannabis branding. Your mail carrier won’t know. Your neighbors won’t know. In a small town like Concordia, privacy matters.

What About Local Pickup?

Currently, we don’t have a retail partner in Cloud County. The nearest option is HydroShack Hydroponics in Houston—but that’s 700 miles away. That’s why we built our shipping system: to serve places like Cloud County that the cannabis industry ignores.

International Shipping (For Snowbirds)

Our Media Record: Trust Verified by ABC13

Between 2019-2023, ABC13 Houston featured Colin and OilWell in seven news segments with five different reporters. No other Houston cannabis company has that record.

What they covered:

• Our founding principle: “I’m not trying to sell people snake oil” (2019)
• Delta-8 THC investigation: Colin’s radical honesty—”Maybe you want to get high” (2021)
• COVID vaccine giveaway: 1,000 pre-rolls, $35,000 in product to encourage vaccination (2021)
• Delta-8 ban: We proactively removed products and warned other operators (2021)
• Biden pardon: Colin revealed his personal marijuana conviction history (2022)
• 4/20 feature: Colin growing hemp, calling it a “Renaissance” (2023)

Why this matters for Cloud County:
You can’t meet us in person. You can’t see our shop. These news features—on a major network affiliate—are independently verified proof of who we are. They show we act ethically under pressure, we tell the truth even when it’s uncomfortable, and we’ve earned the trust of journalists who don’t give that easily.

Colin’s Story: From Conviction to Redemption

In October 2022, ABC13 reported that Colin has a personal marijuana conviction history. We don’t hide this. We lead with it.

Why? Because if you’re in Cloud County and you’ve faced legal trouble over cannabis—or you know someone who has—you need to know we understand. Colin’s conviction shaped his commitment to:

• Operating 100% legally under the Farm Bill
• Shipping with full documentation so you’re protected
• Never cutting corners that could put customers at legal risk
• Fighting for people “not to get hurt for this anymore”

When you buy from OilWell, you’re buying from someone who lived the consequences and built a better way.
