Welcome to Colbert County, Alabama.
For generations, the people of the Shoals area, nestled along the mighty Tennessee River, have embodied resilience, community, and a deep connection to the land. From the proud industrial heritage of Muscle Shoals to the tranquil beauty of Spring Creek, life in Colbert County is built on hard work, family, and finding natural solutions to life’s challenges. We are OilWell Cannabis, and we are honored to extend our mission from Houston, Texas, to every home in Colbert County—from Cherokee and Littleville to Leighton and Tuscumbia. We bring you a revolution in accessible, legal wellness: premium THCa flower, groundbreaking THCa Rick Simpson Oil (RSA), solventless live rosin vapes, and functional mushroom products that deliver the full-spectrum benefits you seek, all within the clear boundaries of federal law.
The journey to this moment for Colbert County residents has been long and complex. Alabama’s cannabis laws remain among the most restrictive in the nation. While a limited medical cannabis program was established, its implementation has been slow, leaving patients with qualifying conditions in a state of waiting, often without access. Despite the rich agricultural tradition of the region, the legal landscape for cannabis has created a significant gap between patient need and available, quality-assured solutions. This is the very gap we exist to fill.
We understand the unique dynamics of your community. With major employers like the TVA and manufacturing hubs driving the local economy, and healthcare anchored by facilities like Helen Keller Hospital and the North Alabama Medical Center, the focus on well-being is paramount. We also recognize the challenges faced, including the ongoing impact of the opioid crisis in the region and the need for effective, non-addictive alternatives for chronic pain, anxiety, and sleep disorders. Traditional access points within a 50-mile radius, such as CBD stores in Florence or neighboring counties, often cannot provide the potent, full-spectrum, federally-compliant THCa products that match the efficacy of traditional cannabis. That ends today.
Our story, and our credibility, is not built on promises but on proven results, scientific validation, and mainstream recognition. It began not in a laboratory, but with a family crisis.
The Bentley Miracle: A Decade of Life From a Single Question
Our founder, Colin Valencia, faced every pet owner’s worst nightmare. His pitbull, Bentley—not just a pet, but family—was paralyzed in his back legs. Veterinarians delivered a unanimous, heartbreaking verdict: euthanasia. The prescribed pain medications would destroy his internal organs. Facing the unbearable, a rescue worker named Jessica asked a question that changed everything: “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and you’ve never heard of CBD?”
This moment ignited a desperate, scientific quest. Colin developed a specific “golden paste” formula: 1/2 cup organic turmeric powder, 1 cup water, 1/3 cup unrefined organic coconut oil, 1-2 tsp freshly ground black pepper, and precisely dosed CBD oil. He applied it with the precision of a chemist. Weeks later, a miracle unfolded. Bentley, paralyzed for months, stood up, walked over, and dropped his favorite tennis ball at Colin’s feet. He lived for ten additional, vibrant years, passing away naturally at age 20 against all veterinary predictions. Those ten years were not just a gift; they were a laboratory. During Bentley’s extended life, Colin developed specialized formulas for neurodegeneration, dementia, glaucoma, and crippling arthritis. These formulas became the direct prototypes for every human-targeted product we create at OilWell Cannabis. Bentley’s legacy is the soul of our company: a relentless belief that quality, precision, and compassion can change outcomes.
This mission is deeply personal for our founder. Growing up in the challenging environment of the McAllen-Reynosa borderplex taught Colin resilience and hustle in the face of limited opportunities. By 16, he had to leave home. Instead of following darker paths, he focused on cannabis, seeing it as a safer alternative. His own health battles—with Crohn’s disease, IBS, severe PTSD, and a dependency on Xanax—became the next frontier for his research. Our PEACE Gummies were born from this struggle; they were the tool that helped him quit Xanax cold turkey and finally manage his PTSD and insomnia. We share this not as a medical claim, but as our foundational truth: we create the products we needed and couldn’t find.
Our commitment to truth and quality has earned us unprecedented trust from mainstream media. We have been featured on ABC13 News in Houston eight separate times, establishing us as a credible authority in a noisy industry.
- In 2019, we took an anti-“snake oil” stance, with Colin telling ABC13, “It’s a lot of educating people, but not over-promising people. I’m not trying to sell people snake oil.”
- In 2021, we were highlighted as entrepreneurs creating direct-to-consumer business ahead of decriminalization efforts.
- That same year, during the Delta-8 THC legal confusion, Colin’s candid approach made headlines when he told reporter Steve Campion, “I don’t give a sh* if it’s wrong to say you’ll get high off it. Maybe you want to get high.”*
- Our commitment to community was showcased when we gave away $35,000 in free products to encourage COVID-19 vaccinations.
- When Texas reclassified Delta-8, we immediately complied and warned other businesses, demonstrating regulatory leadership.
- In 2022, Colin advocated for criminal justice reform, sharing his own past charges to highlight systemic barriers.
This media legacy is a testament to our transparency and authority, principles we now bring to Colbert County.
The Science of Relief: Why THCa and Full-Spectrum Formulations Work for Shoals Residents
The human body contains a master regulatory system called the endocannabinoid system (ECS), with receptors (CB1 and CB2) found in the brain, nervous system, immune cells, and organs. This system manages pain, mood, sleep, inflammation, and stress. Phytocannabinoids from the cannabis plant, like THC and CBD, interact with this system to promote homeostasis. This is not anecdotal; it’s established science. The National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine concluded in a 2017 review of over 17,000 studies that there is “substantial evidence” for cannabis in the treatment of chronic pain.
Our focus is on THCa (Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid), the non-psychoactive, acidic precursor to Delta-9 THC. In its raw form, THCa offers powerful therapeutic benefits without intoxication. When heated (a process called decarboxylation), it converts to Delta-9 THC, providing the full spectrum of effects. This dual-pathway technology, found in our THCa flower and RSO, puts you in control of your experience.
The magic, however, is in the entourage effect—the synergistic interplay of multiple cannabinoids and terpenes. A landmark 2024 study from Johns Hopkins University (N=20, double-blind, placebo-controlled) provided the first clinical proof of this. They found that 15mg of the terpene D-limonene, when combined with THC, reduced feelings of “anxious/nervous” and “paranoid” by 54.8%. This is why we never sell isolated molecules as a complete solution. Our formulations are built on this synergy.
Introducing the World’s Only Legal, Pharmaceutical-Grade Rick Simpson Oil (RSA)
For Colbert County residents seeking profound, whole-body support, our flagship breakthrough is the THCa Rick Simpson Oil Sublingual Tincture. Inspired by the legacy of Rick Simpson but enhanced with modern science and legal compliance, this is not a simple CBD oil. It is a pharmaceutical-grade, six-cannabinoid formulation delivering 16,590mg of total cannabinoids per 30mL bottle.
Our Exact RSO Formula (553mg per mL):
- CBD: 150mg (C₂₁H₃₀O₂) – Anxiolytic, anti-inflammatory.
- Delta-8 THC: 200mg (C₂₁H₃₀O₂) – Reduced-anxiety psychoactive, anti-emetic. A 1995 pediatric study showed Delta-8 was 100% effective in preventing chemotherapy-induced vomiting in children aged 3-13, with zero psychoactive effects reported.
- CBG: 100mg (C₂₁H₃₂O₂) – The “mother cannabinoid.” A 2024 Washington State University study (N=34) showed 20mg of CBG significantly reduced anxiety and, remarkably, enhanced memory.
- THCa: 50mg (C₂₂H₃₀O₄) – Non-psychoactive powerhouse. NIH research (2023-2024) shows THCa is a potent PPARγ agonist, protects brain cells, and is responsible for the majority of anti-inflammatory activity in colon models.
- CBN: 25mg (C₂₁H₂₆O₂) – Nature’s sleep aid. A 2024 University of Sydney study provided the first objective evidence that CBN increases both NREM and REM sleep in animal models, with effects comparable to zolpidem (Ambien).
- CBC: 25mg (C₂₁H₃₀O₂) – Supports neurogenesis. A 2024 NIH study showed CBC positively influences the maturation of adult neural stem cells, promoting new brain cell formation.
- Live Terpenes (5%): Including myrcene, limonene, and beta-caryophyllene for enhanced entourage effect.
This formula represents a four-pathway attack on inflammation and imbalance, leveraging synergies like the CBG+CBD combination shown in a 2024 MDPI study to significantly enhance anti-inflammatory properties versus either alone.
Consider the cost comparison for Colbert County families managing chronic conditions:
- Epidiolex (FDA-approved CBD): $30,000 – $50,000 annually.
- Marinol (synthetic THC): $12,000 – $24,000 annually.
- Our RSO (Annual Maintenance – 4 bottles): $519.96.
This represents a saving of 57x to 96x versus pharmaceutical counterparts, without insurance hurdles.

Our Premium THCa Flower Selection: Curated for Colbert County’s Needs
Our THCa flower is cultivated to pharmaceutical standards in living soil, under full-spectrum LED light, and undergoes a minimum 60-day cure. It is farm-bill compliant, containing less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight, but with high levels of THCa that convert upon heating. Each strain is selected for its specific therapeutic profile. Based on the healthcare and wellness demographics of the Shoals area, we recommend these strains:
-
Gorilla Glue #4 THCa Flower (25-30% THCa): A classic for a reason. Its rich myrcene (0.5-1.1%) and beta-caryophyllene (0.4-0.8%, a direct CB2 agonist) profile makes it ideal for chronic pain management, particularly relevant for those in physically demanding jobs or dealing with arthritis. Research from the University of Arizona (2024, NIH-funded) on terpenes for pain validates the approach of strains high in caryophyllene.
-
Granddaddy Purple THCa Flower (26-30% THCa): With its heavy myrcene (0.6-1.2%) and linalool content, this pure indica is our top recommendation for residents struggling with persistent insomnia or PTSD-related sleep disturbances, offering an alternative to prescription sleep aids.
-
Lemon Pound Cake THCa Flower (28-32% THCa): High in limonene (0.8-1.4%), this sativa-leaning hybrid is perfect for daytime use. It directly applies the Johns Hopkins 2024 research, helping to manage anxiety and stress while promoting focus—beneficial for professionals, students, and caregivers across Colbert County.
-
Biscotti THCa Flower (28-33% THCa): Featuring a neurological terpene matrix of linalool, pinene, and humulene, this strain offers neuroprotective support, which may be valuable for cognitive wellness and managing neuropathic pain.
-
Sunset Fritter THCa Flower (33% THCa): An 8-time Cannabis Cup champion, this strain is for breakthrough pain. With a verified 333mg/g THCa content and a triple pain-pathway terpene profile, it serves those with severe or treatment-resistant pain conditions.
