Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Columbia County, Arkansas: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis
If you’re in Columbia County, Arkansas — whether you’re in Magnolia, the piney woods near McNeil, or out along Highway 79 — and you’re looking for honest answers about Rick Simpson Oil, you’ve found them. We wrote this because Columbia County residents deserve the same depth of truth about cannabis medicine that we’ve been giving Houston since 2019. No hype. No snake oil. Just the full story, the actual science, and formulas you can verify yourself.
Who we are: We’re OilWell Cannabis, a Houston-based cannabinoid company founded by Colin Valencia — a software engineer who once did custom development for Baylor College of Medicine and who learned cannabis not in a lab, but by keeping his paralyzed dog Bentley alive for ten years when vets said euthanasia was the only option. That story started with CBD golden paste and grew into the most transparent, research-backed RSO formulas available anywhere. And yes, we ship directly to Columbia County, Arkansas, every single day.
Understanding Rick Simpson Oil: The History Columbia County Needs to Know
Who Was Rick Simpson?
Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor. He was a power engineer from Nova Scotia — a tradesman, like many folks in Columbia County who work with their hands and know what it means when the system fails you. In 1997, Simpson fell from hospital scaffolding, suffered a severe head injury, and got tinnitus and post-concussion symptoms that never went away. The medications made it worse. His doctor refused to consider cannabis. So Simpson found his own way.
What he discovered was a 1974 NIH study from the Medical College of Virginia showing THC could shrink tumors in mice. That study was never replicated in humans, but it lit a fire. In 2003, Simpson claimed three bumps on his arm were basal cell carcinoma and that applying concentrated cannabis oil made them disappear in four days. No biopsy. No independent verification. But that personal testimony became the origin story of RSO.
Important context: Simpson’s story is historically significant — it launched a global movement — but it is not medical evidence. It’s one man’s experience. In Columbia County, where we value straight talk and proven results, we think that’s worth saying clearly.
The Traditional RSO Protocol: What 60 Grams Over 90 Days Actually Means
Simpson’s famous protocol was simple in concept, brutal in execution: consume 60 grams of oil in 90 days. Here’s exactly what that looked like:
- 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 daily (600-900mg of delta-9 THC per day) until the 60 grams are gone
He recommended sublingual or oral administration, sometimes topical for skin lesions. He warned about the high, suggested nighttime dosing, and told patients not to drive.
The problems with this for Columbia County residents:
- No standardization: Every batch differed. No lab testing. No Certificate of Analysis. If you bought RSO from someone in Magnolia or El Dorado, you had no idea what was actually in it.
- Extreme THC exposure: 600-900mg of delta-9 THC daily is 30-45 times the maximum FDA-approved dronabinol dose. That’s a real safety concern, especially for older adults or anyone with heart conditions common in rural Arkansas.
- Solvent risk: Simpson used naphtha or 99% isopropyl alcohol. Naphtha contains benzene and toluene. Without lab testing for residual solvents, you could be consuming carcinogens.
- No terpenes: The high-heat process destroyed all terpenes, losing potential entourage benefits.
What Simpson Got Right vs. What He Overstated
He got right: Simpson proved people were desperate for alternatives when conventional medicine failed. He showed that cannabis extracts could be made at home and shared freely. He created a demand for concentrated cannabis oil that forced the world to pay attention.
He overstated: Cancer cure claims. No human clinical trial has ever proven RSO cures cancer. The National Cancer Institute acknowledges preclinical interest but does not endorse cannabis as a cancer treatment. The FDA has approved no cannabis plant product for cancer. Encouraging patients to use RSO instead of proven oncology care — surgery, chemo, radiation — can cause real harm through delayed treatment.
In Columbia County, where the nearest major cancer center might be hours away in Little Rock or Shreveport, we understand why people search for alternatives. But we also know that hope must be grounded in truth, not false promises.
The OilWell RSO Philosophy: Built Different for Columbia County
Our Four Core Principles
1. Accessibility Over Gatekeeping
Arkansas has a medical marijuana program, but it’s one of the most restrictive in the country. You need a specific qualifying condition, a doctor’s recommendation, and you can only buy from state-licensed dispensaries. In Columbia County, that means driving to Magnolia’s dispensary or crossing into Louisiana — if you qualify.
Our RSO is different. It’s Farm Bill compliant: less than 0.3% delta-9 THC, hemp-derived, legal in Arkansas and all 50 states. No medical card needed. If you’re 21+ in Columbia County, you can order directly from us. We ship to Magnolia, Waldo, Taylor, Village — everywhere USPS delivers in Columbia County.
2. Patient-Controlled Potency
Traditional RSO was always psychoactive. You got high whether you wanted to or not. That doesn’t work for a logger in Emerson who needs daytime pain relief but can’t be impaired on the job.
Our sublingual oil contains 1,500mg of THCa — the acidic, non-psychoactive precursor to THC. You choose:
- Raw (no heat): Completely non-psychoactive. Take it during your shift at the paper mill, driving county roads, or watching your kids’ ballgame in Magnolia. You get anti-inflammatory benefits with zero high.
- Decarboxylated: Heat the oil at 260°F for 45-60 minutes and that 1,500mg THCa converts to ~1,315mg delta-9 THC. Combined with existing 90mg delta-9 and 6,000mg delta-8, you reach therapeutic potency comparable to traditional RSO — legally, in your own home.
- Vape: Instant decarboxylation at 400-450°F. Fastest relief for breakthrough pain or panic attacks.
This is the most significant legal cannabis innovation in history. You buy a legal product, then activate it privately. Columbia County residents control their own medicine — just like Simpson wanted, but within the law.
3. Open-Source Formulas
Simpson gave his oil away for free and published his process. We honor that ethos by publishing our exact formulas publicly. Every milligram is listed below. If $129.99 for our 30mL bottle isn’t in your budget, you can source the individual cannabinoid distillates and make it yourself using our recipe. We’re not hiding anything.
4. Evidence-Informed, Not Evidence-Overstating
Every cannabinoid in our formula has a research citation. Every claim we make is tied to peer-reviewed literature. We tell you what’s proven, what’s emerging, and what’s still unknown. In Columbia County, where people value honesty over hype, that matters.
Our Story: From McAllen to Magnolia
Colin Valencia grew up in McAllen, Texas — one of the most dangerous border regions in America. By sixteen, he’d seen friends killed and imprisoned. He learned cannabis in the underground world, but chose it over harder paths. He became a software engineer, worked for Baylor College of Medicine, and learned medical-grade precision.
Then Bentley got sick. Paralyzed, facing euthanasia. Colin created a CBD golden paste that let Bentley walk again — and live ten more years. That experience taught him that single cannabinoids don’t cut it. Bentley’s aging required multi-cannabinoid synergy: CBG for neuroprotection, THCa for inflammation, CBC for neurogenesis, delta-8 for pain, CBN for sleep.
Colin used that same knowledge to quit Xanax cold turkey after years of PTSD and benzo addiction. The Peace Gummies formula — born from midnight experiments during withdrawal — is now one of our most popular products, especially with veterans across Arkansas who struggle with the same issues.
Seven times, ABC13 Houston featured Colin. Not because we paid for PR, but because when Houston needed a credible cannabis voice, they called us. That credibility extends to Columbia County.
The Evidence: What Science Actually Says About Each Cannabinoid
CBD (4,500mg in our sublingual oil)
Best evidence: Seizure disorders. The FDA approved Epidiolex for rare epilepsies — that’s the gold standard.
Emerging evidence: A 2024 meta-analysis of 316 participants across eight studies showed significant anxiolytic effects for anxiety disorders [3]. Another 2024 review found promising but heterogeneous results for chronic pain [4]. Sleep evidence remains weak and methodologically limited [5].
Safety: CBD can elevate liver enzymes and interact with medications — crucial for Columbia County residents taking prescriptions for diabetes, heart disease, or other chronic conditions [6].
CBG (3,000mg)
Evidence: Mostly preclinical. A 2021 review found potential in neurologic disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, and antibacterial activity, but human trials are sparse [7]. A 2024 review confirmed its therapeutic potential but noted it’s already being sold commercially while evidence remains thin [8].
Bottom line for Columbia County: CBG is promising but not proven. We’re including it because Bentley’s neurodegeneration required it, and the preclinical data is compelling enough to justify inclusion while research catches up.
Delta-8 THC (6,000mg)
Evidence: A 2022 review found delta-8 and delta-9 have similar pharmacokinetics, but delta-8 is less potent due to weaker CB1 receptor binding [9]. A 2023 scoping review noted reports of adverse effects and emphasized product quality concerns [10]. It’s psychoactive and can cause impairment — we don’t hide that.
Why we use it: For pain relief and nausea control at doses that don’t overwhelm like delta-9 can. Arkansas veterans with PTSD have told us delta-8 provides the therapeutic benefits without the anxiety delta-9 sometimes triggers.
THCa (1,500mg)
Evidence: The 2016 critical review established that THCa is non-psychoactive but converts to THC with heat [12]. It shows anti-inflammatory effects via COX-2 inhibition and neuroprotective potential via PPARγ agonism in preclinical models.
For Columbia County: This is your daytime option. Use it raw for inflammation relief while working at Southern Arkansas University, managing your farm, or running your business in Magnolia’s downtown square.
Delta-9 THC (90mg)
Evidence: NCCIH identifies strongest evidence for chemo nausea, HIV/AIDS appetite, and some pain/MS symptoms [1]. A 2022 systematic review found high-THC products provide short-term pain relief but increase dizziness, sedation, and discontinuation risk [13]. The 2025 high-concentration THC review linked strong THC to psychosis, schizophrenia, and cannabis use disorder [15].
Why only 90mg? Traditional RSO had 600-900mg per day. We include just enough to stay Farm Bill compliant while letting you activate the THCa yourself. This is precision, not excess.
CBN (750mg)
Evidence: The 2021 review found no clinical trials supporting sleep claims [16]. The 2024 sleep update concluded cannabinoid sleep research doesn’t match real-world use [17].
Why we include it: At 750mg per bottle, each mL delivers 25mg CBN. The literature suggests 20mg+ may reduce sleep disturbance. It’s plausible, emerging, and worth including at this level — but we’re honest about the evidence gap.
CBC (750mg)
Evidence: A 2024 review found distinct pharmacodynamics and highlighted antinociceptive, antibacterial, and anti-seizure potential, but noted products are being sold with little clinical evidence [18]. Older reviews show anti-inflammatory and analgesic signals in animals [19].
Bottom line: Another promising minor cannabinoid where preclinical data justifies inclusion while human research develops.
Terpenes: The Aromatic Medicine
Our 5% live terpene blend includes limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene, linalool, humulene, and terpinolene. Here’s what the evidence actually says:
Limonene: Citrus-bright aroma. 2021 review found antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and gastroprotective potential, but most data is preclinical [21]. Oxidized limonene can be allergenic [22].
Myrcene: Earthy, musky. 2021 review described anxiolytic and anti-inflammatory properties but noted human studies are lacking [23]. The “myrcene causes couch-lock” claim is overstated.
Caryophyllene: Peppery, spicy. The star terpene. 2021 review confirmed it’s a selective CB2 receptor agonist — directly interacting with your endocannabinoid system [24]. This is your anti-inflammatory workhorse.
Pinene: Forest-fresh. 2021 review found antioxidant and neuroprotective signals but emphasized lack of human trials [25].
Linalool: Floral, lavender. 2022 review suggested antidepressant mechanisms but data is preclinical [26]. Can be allergenic when oxidized [22].
Humulene: Earthy, woody. 2024 scoping review found broad anti-inflammatory evidence and possible cannabimimetic properties [27].
Terpinolene: Piney, fruity. 2021 systematic review of 57 studies concluded evidence is dominated by in silico and animal work [28].
Bottom line for Columbia County: Terpenes make our RSO smell and taste better, and the preclinical data is compelling. But human clinical proof of entourage effects remains limited [20][29]. We include them because Bentley’s arthritis responded to beta-caryophyllene’s CB2 activation, and because the science is plausible — not because it’s proven.

Community Impact: Why Columbia County Can Trust Us
Seven times, ABC13 Houston — the #1 news source in America’s fourth-largest city — featured Colin Valencia. Not because we bought ads, but because when they needed truth about cannabis, they called us.
September 2019: “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: On Delta-8 THC, Steve Campion asked why someone would smoke it. Colin’s answer: “I don’t give a sh** if it’s wrong to say you’ll get high off it. Maybe you want to get high.” Uncensored honesty on network TV.
August 2021: We gave away $35,000 in product — 1,000 Delta-8 caviar pre-rolls — to encourage COVID vaccination in Houston. We coordinated with city government. No political strings.
October 2021: When Texas banned Delta-8 overnight, we removed all products before enforcement and warned other operators they were unknowingly shipping Schedule I narcotics. We absorbed the revenue loss to act ethically.
October 2022: Colin revealed his personal marijuana conviction history. “I would love to see people not get hurt for this anymore.” Every quote before that moment carries more weight when you know he’s lived it.
April 2023: “Right now is actually a pretty — like Renaissance — pretty important time that should be enjoyed now.”
This is who we are. Not a corporation. People from places like McAllen and Magnolia who’ve seen the system fail and decided to build something better.
Condition-Specific Guidance for Columbia County Residents
For Cancer Patients in Columbia County (receiving care at Magnolia Hospital or traveling to UAMS in Little Rock):
Pre-chemo nausea: 0.5-1.0mL sublingual 1 hour before treatment. Breakthrough nausea: 2-3 vape puffs. Post-chemo: 0.5mL every 6 hours. Sleep support: 1-2mL before bed delivers 25-50mg CBN.
We must say clearly: RSO is not a cancer cure. Use it to support symptom management alongside your oncologist’s treatment plan. Do not delay proven therapies.
For Chronic Pain (fibromyalgia, arthritis from farm work, old injuries):
Daytime: 0.3-0.5mL raw sublingual for anti-inflammatory action without impairment. Nighttime: 0.5-1.0mL decarbed for pain relief + sleep. Breakthrough: Vape as needed.
For PTSD and Anxiety (especially Columbia County veterans):
Daytime functional: 0.3mL raw for CBD + CGB benefits. Nighttime: 1.0mL for full profile with CBN.
For Sleep Disorders:
1-2mL sublingual before bed delivers 25-50mg CBN. The evidence is emerging, but many Columbia County residents report improvement.
General Titration Principle: Start low, go slow. Begin 0.25-0.5mL sublingual, assess effects over 2-3 hours before increasing. Every body is different.

Final Word to Columbia County
Rick Simpson started with a personal crisis and built a movement. We started with Bentley’s crisis and built a company. Both stories are about love, desperation, and the refusal to accept “there’s nothing more we can do.”
But there’s a difference: Simpson operated in a world without science, without testing, without legal protection. You in Columbia County live in a world where you can have all three.
Our RSO isn’t traditional. It’s better. It’s legal. It’s tested. It’s transparent. And it’s designed for people like you — whether you’re a farmer in Taylor, a teacher in Magnolia, or a veteran in Waldo dealing with pain that pills can’t touch.
Dogs don’t respond to placebo. Neither should you. The science is in this document. The formula is above. The choice is yours.
