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

If you’re reading this from Chicago, Evanston, Schaumburg, or anywhere across Cook County, you probably already know the search for real cannabis medicine isn’t straightforward. Between the world-class hospitals in the Illinois Medical District and the neighborhood clinics in Cicero, between the cancer centers in Oak Park and the pain management offices in Arlington Heights, people here are looking for options that actually make sense. That’s why we’re talking about Rick Simpson Oil—not as a miracle story, but as a formulated, accessible, evidence-informed option that Cook County residents can actually get their hands on without jumping through medical program hoops.

We started OilWell Cannabis in Houston, but our roots trace back to a dog named Bentley and a man who grew up in one of the most dangerous border regions in America. Colin Valencia, our founder, didn’t come from privilege—he came from McAllen, Texas, where he learned the cannabis plant intimately while navigating a world that offered few legal paths forward. He became a software engineer, worked for Baylor College of Medicine in the Texas Medical Center, and then watched his dog Bentley go from paralyzed and facing euthanasia to walking again after cannabinoid therapy. That wasn’t placebo. Dogs don’t respond to placebo. That was real formulation science, born from desperation and love, refined over ten years of keeping Bentley alive through neurodegeneration, dementia, glaucoma, and arthritis. Every cannabinoid we include in our RSO—every milligram, every ratio—was first tested on the patient Colin loved most in the world.

We’ve been featured on ABC13 Houston seven times between 2019 and 2023 because when major media needed someone to explain cannabis law, Delta-8 regulation, or community health action during COVID, they called us. When President Biden announced marijuana pardons, ABC13 came to Colin because he has a personal marijuana conviction history. When Texas banned Delta-8 overnight, we were the ones warning other operators they were unknowingly shipping Schedule I narcotics. That media record—five different reporters, seven features, four years—exists because we tell the truth even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.

Now we’re bringing that same approach to Cook County. This guide isn’t here to sell you hope. It’s here to give you the best possible version of the information so you can decide what’s right for you. No bullshit. No snake oil. Just the facts, the formulas, and a way to access them legally from anywhere in Cook County—from the Loop to Naperville, from Skokie to Palatine.

Understanding RSO: From Nova Scotia to Cook County

Who Was Rick Simpson, and Why Does It Matter Here?

Rick Simpson was a power engineer from Amherst, Nova Scotia, not a doctor. In 1997, he fell from scaffolding at a hospital in Moncton and suffered a head injury that left him with chronic tinnitus, dizziness, and post-concussion symptoms. The medications his doctors prescribed either didn’t work or made things worse. When he found relief in cannabis and asked his physician to support it, he was refused. Sound familiar? That story plays out every day in Cook County’s healthcare system—patients cycling through ineffective prescriptions, being told “no” when they ask about cannabis, searching for alternatives after conventional medicine falls short.

Simpson’s pivotal moment came in 2003 when three bumps on his arm were diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma. He applied concentrated cannabis oil directly to the lesions, covered them with bandages, and claimed they disappeared within four days. No biopsy confirmed this. No independent medical verification exists. But that personal experience became the origin story of Rick Simpson Oil, and it sparked a global movement that eventually reached Cook County’s cannabis dispensaries and online forums.

Important context for Cook County readers: Simpson’s account is personal testimony, not medical evidence. The absence of clinical documentation means it cannot be evaluated as proof of efficacy. It is historically significant as the catalyst for a movement, but it is not a validated cancer treatment. Anyone in Cook County considering RSO for cancer should understand this distinction clearly.

The Traditional RSO Protocol: A 60-Gram, 90-Day Regimen

Simpson designed a specific oral protocol: consume 60 grams of concentrated cannabis oil over approximately 90 days. The titration schedule began with a dose the size of half a grain of rice (about 10-15 mg) three times daily, doubling every four days until reaching roughly 1 gram per day by week five. That 1 gram daily dose would deliver approximately 600-900 mg of delta-9 THC—far exceeding anything studied in controlled clinical settings.

For Cook County readers dealing with chronic pain, cancer, or other serious conditions, here’s what matters:

• No controlled trial validation. This protocol was designed by one person based on personal experience. There are no published randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, or well-documented case series evaluating this specific 60-gram protocol for any condition.
• Very high THC exposure. At peak dosing, patients consumed 600-900 mg of THC daily. The FDA-approved synthetic THC drug dronabinol is typically dosed at 2.5-20 mg per day. The risks at Simpson’s doses include severe intoxication, anxiety, tachycardia, hypotension, and cannabis use disorder [15].
• Assumes crude, unstandardized material. Traditional RSO was a single-strain, THC-dominant extract with no standardized potency. Every batch varied based on starting plant material and extraction technique.

We present this protocol completely because Cook County residents deserve to see the full picture—not a sanitized version. Many local dispensaries sell products labeled “RSO” without explaining what the original protocol actually was. If you’re researching RSO in Evanston, Orland Park, or Des Plaines, you need to know the dosing history so you can evaluate modern alternatives intelligently.

What Traditional RSO Actually Was

Traditional RSO was nearly black, thick, tar-like oil with a strong cannabis odor and possible solvent-residual smell. It used naphtha or 99% isopropyl alcohol as extraction solvents—neither food-grade. The process involved agitating plant material in solvent, filtering, and evaporating in a rice cooker at temperatures high enough to decarboxylate all THCa into delta-9 THC and destroy most volatile terpenes.

Key characteristics relevant to Cook County consumers:

• No standardization or testing. Every batch differed. No Certificate of Analysis, no cannabinoid quantification, no contaminant screening.
• Residual solvent risk. Naphtha may contain benzene, toluene, and other toxic compounds. Incomplete purging leaves harmful residues.
• Minimal terpene content. The solvent + heat process stripped terpenes, leaving a cannabinoid-only product.
• Estimated 60-90% delta-9 THC. The profile was overwhelmingly psychoactive with minor cannabinoids at natural, uncontrolled ratios.

This is what the “RSO” label meant historically. Many products sold today as RSO in Illinois dispensaries bear little resemblance to this original definition—and that’s not necessarily bad. Modern extraction uses food-grade ethanol or supercritical CO₂ with validated analytical testing. The evolution matters for your safety.

The OilWell RSO Difference: Why Cook County Needs This Now

Our Story: From Bentley to Cook County

OilWell Cannabis didn’t start in a boardroom. It started when Colin’s dog Bentley was paralyzed and facing euthanasia. Veterinarians said pain meds would destroy his organs. The only option was a mercy killing. Colin refused. He learned to create CBD golden paste—turmeric, coconut oil, black pepper, and CBD oil. Bentley got up, walked over, and brought his ball. That was ten years ago. Bentley lived to age twenty, and during those years, Colin developed formulas for every age-related condition: neurodegeneration (CBG neuroprotection, THCa PPARγ), dementia (CBC neurogenesis), glaucoma (THC CB1 agonism), arthritis (multi-pathway anti-inflammatory). Single cannabinoids couldn’t handle it all. Bentley required precise, multi-cannabinoid synergy.

That precision now serves people in Cook County. Colin also knows pharmaceutical dependence personally—PTSD, Xanax addiction, quitting benzos cold turkey using cannabinoid therapy. The Peace Gummies formula we sell was created during midnight experiments fighting through withdrawal. Colin personally uses the vape form for insomnia and severe PTSD. This is not theoretical. It’s survival.

We’ve been featured on ABC13 Houston seven times because when they need an honest voice on cannabis, they call us. When Delta-8 was banned overnight in Texas, we proactively removed products and warned other operators they were shipping Schedule I narcotics. When COVID hit, we gave away $35,000 in product to encourage vaccination and coordinated with Houston’s city government. When Biden announced marijuana pardons, ABC13 came to Colin because he has a personal marijuana conviction history. We don’t hide our past—we use it to build trust.

Our Four Core Principles for Cook County

1. Accessibility over gatekeeping. No medical card required. Illinois has a medical cannabis program, but qualifying conditions are limited, and the process can be burdensome. In Cook County, you can order our RSO if you’re 21+—whether you’re in Lincoln Park, Rogers Park, or anywhere else. We ship nationwide and internationally. If you’re in Chicago’s 606xx zip codes or the suburbs, you can get this legally without navigating Illinois’s medical program.

2. Patient-controlled potency. Our sublingual oil contains 1,500 mg of THCa in its raw, non-psychoactive form. You decide whether to use it raw for daytime anti-inflammatory benefits (zero impairment, perfect for working in the Loop or driving on I-294) or decarboxylate it at home into delta-9 THC for full psychoactive potency. Heat it at 260°F for 45-60 minutes, and that 1,500 mg THCa converts to ~1,315 mg delta-9 THC. Combined with the existing 90 mg delta-9 THC, you get ~1,405 mg total—comparable to traditional illegal RSO, but 100% legally because the conversion happens after purchase at your discretion. This is the most significant legal cannabis access innovation in history.

3. Open-source formulas. We publish every milligram. If you’re in Cook County and $129.99 for the sublingual oil or $49.99 for the vape cartridge is out of reach, you can source the individual cannabinoid distillates and make your own version. Simpson gave his oil away for free; we give you the recipe. This isn’t marketing—it’s the foundational behavior of our company, starting with Bentley’s golden paste formula we published years ago.

4. Evidence-informed, not evidence-overstating. The GENERAL KNOWLEDGE section in this document is our commitment to honest education. We evaluate every cannabinoid against peer-reviewed literature, distinguish between what’s well-supported (CBD for seizures), what’s emerging (CBG for neurologic disorders), and what’s overstated (CBN as a proven sleep aid). Cook County residents—especially those near Northwestern, University of Chicago, or Rush—deserve that level of intellectual honesty.

Farm Bill Compliance: Why This Is Legal in Cook 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 90 mg delta-9 THC in the entire 30 mL bottle—3 mg per mL—well under the federal threshold. All cannabinoids are hemp-derived. This product is legal under federal law and in Illinois.

For Cook County specifically: Illinois legalized adult-use cannabis in 2020, but access can be limited. Chicago has dispensaries, but prices are high, and selection varies. Suburban Cook County residents in Schaumburg, Evanston, or Oak Park may not have convenient access. Our direct-to-consumer model bypasses those barriers. We ship to every Cook County address with full documentation—COAs, receipts, and legally compliant packaging.

Legal notice: THCa converts to delta-9 THC when heated. You are responsible for understanding Illinois law. At point of sale, our product is Farm Bill compliant. Decarboxylation decisions are yours. We assume no legal responsibility for how you use or activate the product after purchase.

The Formulas: What Cook County Gets

RSO Sublingual Oil — $129.99

Our flagship product is a 30 mL bottle delivering 16,590 mg total cannabinoids at 553 mg/mL. The formula:

• Live Terpenes: 5% (limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene, linalool, humulene, terpinolene)
• Carrier: Organic MCT oil
• Dosing: Graduated dropper with 0.1 mL increments
• Onset: 15-45 minutes (sublingual)
• Duration: 4-6 hours
• Bioavailability: 13-19%
• Doses per bottle: 40-60 depending on serving size

For Cook County residents managing chronic pain while working downtown: Take 0.3 mL raw sublingual in the morning. That’s 166 mg total cannabinoids with zero psychoactive impairment—anti-inflammatory support via CBD, CBG, and THCa that won’t affect your ability to drive on Lake Shore Drive or function in a Loop office.

For Cook County cancer patients dealing with chemo nausea: Take 0.5 mL 1 hour before treatment, then 2-3 vape puffs for breakthrough nausea. The delta-8 THC provides documented antiemetic effects [9] while the CBN helps with post-chemo sleep architecture [16][17].

RSO Vape Cartridge — $49.99

Our fast-acting format for acute relief:

• Live Terpenes: 5%+
• Compatibility: 510-thread universal battery
• Onset: 1-2 minutes (fastest cannabinoid delivery)
• Duration: 2-4 hours
• Bioavailability: 10-35%

For Cook County veterans with PTSD: When a flashback hits in Bridgeport or you’re struggling with hypervigilance in Bronzeville, 2-3 puffs deliver relief in 60-120 seconds. Colin uses this format personally for insomnia and severe PTSD—it’s not theoretical.

For Cook County residents with breakthrough pain: Whether you’re in Skokie dealing with fibromyalgia or in Oak Lawn managing arthritis, the vape provides immediate relief while the sublingual oil maintains baseline support.

When to Use Each Format in Cook County

The Science Cook County Deserves to Know

Evidence Hierarchy: What Actually Works

We evaluate cannabinoids using the same standards the NIH applies:

Strongest Human Evidence:

• CBD: Certain rare epilepsies (Epidiolex FDA-approved) [1][2], some anxiety reduction [3]
• Delta-9 THC: Chemo nausea, HIV/AIDS appetite loss (dronabinol/nabilone FDA-approved) [1]

Emerging but Promising:

• CBD: Chronic pain (modest evidence) [4], sleep (methodologically weak) [5]
• Delta-8 THC: Antiemetic properties [9]-[11], but safety data incomplete
• CBG: Neuroprotective potential [7][8], preclinical anti-inflammatory
• CBC: Neurogenesis [18][19], preclinical antinociceptive

Overstated Claims to Avoid:

• CBN is NOT a proven sleep aid. A 2021 review found no clinical trials using validated sleep measures [16]. The 2024 sleep literature update still lacks robust trials [17].
• Myrcene does NOT reliably cause sedation in humans. Human studies are lacking [23].
• Terpenes do NOT have proven entourage effects in patients. The 2024 review confirms robust human proof remains limited [20][29].

For Cook County’s research-savvy residents near Northwestern or University of Chicago: We cite 29 peer-reviewed references. Every claim is traceable. We don’t hide behind “proprietary blends” or “trade secrets.” We publish exact formulas because transparency builds trust.

Safety Profile: What Cook County Should Watch For

We don’t sugarcoat risks. Every cannabinoid has them:

• Delta-9 THC: Impairment, anxiety/panic at high doses, tachycardia, hypotension, cannabis use disorder [1][15]. If you’re in Cook County driving on the Eisenhower or Tri-State, do not use psychoactive doses before operating vehicles.
• CBD: Liver enzyme elevation possible, especially with polypharmacy [6]. If you’re a Cook County resident on multiple prescriptions (common in older populations in Oak Park or Skokie), consult your doctor before adding high-dose CBD.
• Delta-8 THC: Similar risks to delta-9, plus manufacturing quality concerns [10]. Our third-party testing addresses this, but the compound itself carries real pharmacologic activity.
• High-concentration THC products: Associated with increased psychosis/schizophrenia risk and cannabis use disorder [15]. Cook County has mental health resources—use them alongside cannabinoids, not instead of them.

Pregnancy/Nursing: NCCIH explicitly warns against cannabis use during pregnancy [1]. If you’re in Cook County’s maternal health system, do not use our products if pregnant or nursing.

Drug Interactions: CBD inhibits CYP450 enzymes, affecting many medications common in Cook County’s aging population. Always consult a healthcare provider before starting.

Legal Access in Cook County: Your Options

Illinois Law vs. Our Farm Bill Approach

Illinois legalized adult-use cannabis in 2020. Cook County has dispensaries—Maple Park in Chicago, Sunnyside in Schaumburg, EarthMed in Addison. But:

• Medical card required? No, for adult-use. But medical cards have qualifying condition lists that exclude many people.
• Price? Illinois dispensary prices are among the nation’s highest due to taxes and limited licenses. A gram of RSO can run $60-80.
• Selection? Limited. Most Illinois RSO is THC-only or crude full-spectrum. Multi-cannabinoid precision formulas are rare.

Our Farm Bill approach bypasses these barriers:

• No medical card needed. Age 21+ only.
• Ships directly to your Cook County address. Whether you’re in Highland Park, Brookfield, or Tinley Park, we deliver.
• Lower cost per mg of cannabinoids. 16,590 mg for $129.99 = $7.84 per gram of total cannabinoids. Compare to $60-80/gm at dispensaries.
• THCa legal framework. At point of sale, it’s hemp-derived with <0.3% delta-9 THC. You control activation.

Cook County specific legal note: Illinois law permits hemp-derived products. Our COAs document compliance. Possession and use in private residences is legal. Do not operate vehicles after activating THCa into THC. Use discretion in public spaces—Chicago parks and beaches have consumption bans.

We include full documentation and COAs for customs. They accept all customs and legal risk, but the product can legally cross borders because it’s hemp-derived at point of sale.

Media Recognition: Why Cook County Can Trust Us

Seven ABC13 Features, Five Reporters, Four Years

Between 2019 and 2023, ABC13 Houston featured us seven times. Not because we paid for ads—because they needed an honest voice:

September 2019: Colin’s foundational quote—”I’m not trying to sell people snake oil”—set our philosophy. That quote appears throughout this document because it’s our DNA.

March 2021: Featured us helping other entrepreneurs, with Colin’s therapy insight: “Pain comes in a lot of different forms.” Cook County residents dealing with PTSD, chronic pain, or grief understand that truth.

May 2021: Steve Campion’s Delta-8 investigation. When asked why someone would want to smoke Delta-8, Colin answered: “Maybe you want to get high.” That radical honesty on mainstream TV established our credibility.

August 2021: $35,000 in free product for COVID vaccination. We coordinated with Houston city government to encourage public health. No political strings.

October 2021: When Texas banned Delta-8 overnight, we proactively removed products and warned other operators they were shipping Schedule I narcotics. We absorbed the revenue loss to act ethically.

October 2022: Biden pardon feature revealed Colin’s personal marijuana conviction history. Every quote before that moment carries more weight after this revelation. We don’t hide our past.

April 2023: “Renaissance” framing—Cook County is in a similar moment. The cannabis industry here is evolving. We’re at the frontier.

The through-line: ABC13 didn’t feature us because we’re local to Houston. They featured us because we tell the truth consistently, act ethically under pressure, and put community over profit. That standard travels with us to Cook County.

Open-Source Formulas: Cook County’s Right to Know

Why We Publish Everything

Rick Simpson gave his oil away for free and taught people to make it. We sell a professionally manufactured, lab-tested product for those who want it, and we publish the complete recipe for those who need to make their own.

Cook County implications:

• Economic diversity matters. Not everyone in Cook County can afford $129.99. The open-source formula means someone in Englewood or Austin can source ingredients and create their own version.
• DIY community support. If you have the knowledge and equipment, you can replicate our formula. We don’t gatekeep.
• Transparency builds trust. In a market where Illinois dispensaries often hide behind “proprietary blends,” we show you every milligram.

The Formulas

RSO Sublingual Oil (30 mL):

• CBD: 4,500 mg
• CBG: 3,000 mg
• Delta-8 THC: 6,000 mg
• THCa: 1,500 mg
• Delta-9 THC: 90 mg
• CBN: 750 mg
• CBC: 750 mg
• Live terpenes: 5%

RSO Vape Cartridge (1 g):

• CBD: 30%
• CBG: 20%

• THCa: 10%
• CBN: 10%
• CBC: 10%
• Live terpenes: 5%+

These are the actual formulas. Use them, share them, verify them.

The Bentley Recipe: Where It All Started

Before we sold RSO, we gave away the CBD golden paste recipe that saved Bentley. In Cook County’s pet-loving communities—Lincoln Park dog parks, Evanston pet rescues, Schaumburg veterinary clinics—this matters:

CBD Golden Paste for Pets:

• 1/2 cup organic turmeric powder
• 1 cup water
• 1/3 cup coconut oil (unrefined, organic)
• 1-2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• CBD oil (dosage per pet size)

Mix turmeric and water over low heat until paste forms. Add coconut oil and pepper. Cool, store refrigerated for 2 weeks. Mix with food, start low, consult a vet.

Dogs don’t respond to placebo. This recipe saved Bentley. If it helps your Cook County companion, it’s yours.

Condition-Specific Guidance for Cook County

Chronic Pain (Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Neuropathy)

Daytime: 0.3 mL raw sublingual = 166 mg cannabinoids, zero impairment. CBD reduces inflammation [4], CBG offers neuroprotection [7][8], THCa inhibits COX-2 [12].

Nighttime: 0.5-1.0 mL decarboxylated sublingual = 277-553 mg cannabinoids with activated THC for pain + 25-50 mg CBN for sleep [16][17].

Breakthrough: Vape as needed. Fast relief for pain flares.

Cook County context: If you’re seeing pain specialists at Rush or Northwestern and want adjunct support, this provides multi-pathway anti-inflammation without opioids. Tell your doctor you’re using a 7-cannabinoid formula—they’ll appreciate the specificity.

Chemotherapy Support

Pre-chemo: 0.5-1.0 mL sublingual 1 hour before treatment. Delta-8 THC’s antiemetic properties help [9]-[11].

Breakthrough nausea: 2-3 vape puffs. Immediate relief when oral meds fail.

Post-chemo: 0.5 mL sublingual every 6 hours as needed. CBD buffers anxiety [3].

Sleep: 1.0-2.0 mL sublingual before bed. CBN at 25-50 mg supports sleep architecture [16][17].

Cook County context: If you’re being treated at Northwestern’s Robert H. Lurie Cancer Center or University of Chicago Medicine, coordinate this with your oncologist. Our lab-tested formula provides documented cannabinoid amounts—something crude RSO cannot.

Sleep Disorders

Before bed: 1.0-2.0 mL sublingual. At 2.0 mL, you get 50 mg CBN—the dosage investigated in 2024 sleep literature. At 1.0 mL, 25 mg CBN exceeds the 20 mg threshold associated with reduced sleep disturbance [16][17].

Cook County context: If you’re in Barrington dealing with insomnia or in Skokie managing shift-work disorder, this provides a non-benzodiazepine option. Colin used cannabinoids to quit Xanax cold turkey—he knows the struggle personally.

Anxiety & PTSD

Daytime functional relief: 0.3 mL raw sublingual. CBD’s anxiolytic effects [3] + CBG’s 5-HT1A activity [7] without psychoactive impairment.

Nighttime: 1.0 mL sublingual. Full profile including CBN for sleep.

Acute panic: Vape for 1-2 minute onset.

Cook County context: Veterans in Oak Lawn, trauma survivors in Rogers Park, healthcare workers in Streeterville managing pandemic stress—this is why Colin developed the Peace Gummies formula during his own benzo withdrawal. He lived this.

Safety & Responsibility: Cook County Considerations

Start Low, Go Slow

General titration principle: Begin with 0.25-0.5 mL sublingual. Assess effects over 2-3 hours before increasing. Individual responses vary by weight, metabolism, tolerance, medications.

Cook County-specific: If you’re a smaller person, start at 0.25 mL. If you’re on multiple prescriptions common in Cook County’s older demographics, start even lower and monitor for interactions.

Drug Testing

THCa raw form: Will NOT trigger standard drug tests (tests screen for delta-9 THC metabolites).

Decarboxylated or vaped: WILL trigger drug tests. If you’re subject to workplace testing in Cook County (healthcare, transportation, government), use raw form only or abstain.

Legal Responsibility

• Illinois law: Hemp-derived products with <0.3% delta-9 THC are legal. Our product meets this at purchase.
• Activation: Decarboxylation converts THCa to THC. You assume responsibility for post-purchase activation decisions.
• Public consumption: Chicago parks and beaches prohibit cannabis consumption. Use in private residences.
• Driving: Do not operate vehicles after consuming psychoactive doses. Cook County has strict DUI enforcement.

Healthcare Integration

Consult your provider: If you’re at Northwestern Memorial, University of Chicago Medical Center, Rush, or any Cook County clinic, tell them you’re using a 7-cannabinoid, 5-terpene formula with defined mg amounts. They can assess interactions and monitor outcomes.

Not a replacement: Our products are not FDA-approved to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. They are supplements, not replacements for proven cancer therapies, pain management protocols, or mental health treatment.
