Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in the Cook Islands: The Complete Guide for Pacific Communities

Understanding RSO from a Cook Islands Perspective

Here in the Cook Islands, we know what it means to care for our own. When someone in our community faces a health crisis, we gather around them. We share knowledge passed down through generations, we bring food to their homes, and we search every corner of our islands—and sometimes the wider world—for anything that might help. That’s the spirit that brought you here, and it’s the same spirit that drives everything we do at OilWell Cannabis.

Rick Simpson Oil isn’t just another product on a shelf. For many people across the Pacific—and yes, right here in Rarotonga, Aitutaki, and beyond—it’s a name they’ve heard whispered in cancer support groups, discussed in online forums late at night, or recommended by a cousin whose chronic pain finally found relief. But here’s the truth most companies won’t tell you: the original RSO was never a standardized medicine. It was one man’s desperate attempt to save himself when the system failed him, made with kitchen equipment and given away for free. That’s a beautiful story of compassion, but it’s not a pharmaceutical standard.

We’re here because we believe the Cook Islands deserves better than guesswork. You deserve formulas that honor Rick Simpson’s original vision—accessible, full-spectrum cannabis medicine—while bringing the precision, safety, and transparency that modern science demands.

Who Was Rick Simpson, and Why His Story Matters to Us

Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor. He wasn’t a scientist. He was a power engineer from Nova Scotia, Canada—a tradesman who fell from scaffolding in 1997 and suffered a head injury that left him with ringing ears, dizziness, and pain that prescription drugs couldn’t touch. When he asked his doctor about cannabis, he was dismissed. When he tried it himself, he found relief. That experience—being failed by institutional medicine and finding answers through the plant—resonates across the Cook Islands, where many of us have watched loved ones cycle through ineffective prescriptions or wait months for specialist appointments that may never come.

In 2003, Simpson noticed three bumps on his arm that his doctor diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma. Instead of pursuing conventional treatment, he applied concentrated cannabis oil to the lesions, covered them with bandages, and waited. According to his account, the bumps disappeared in four days. No biopsy confirmed this. No oncologist documented it. But that personal testimony became the origin story of RSO and sparked a global movement.

Important context: Simpson’s account is his personal testimony, not medical evidence. The absence of clinical documentation means we cannot evaluate it as scientific proof. But we can acknowledge it as historically significant—the moment that introduced millions, including many in the Cook Islands, to the idea that concentrated cannabis oil might have profound therapeutic potential.

The 60-Gram Protocol That Defined RSO

After his 2003 experience, Simpson committed himself to producing and giving away cannabis oil for free. He developed a specific protocol that became legendary in cannabis circles worldwide—a protocol many Cook Islands residents have encountered in online forums or patient communities.

The Goal: Consume 60 grams of concentrated oil over approximately 90 days.

The Titration Schedule:

• Week 1: Start with a 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 daily (three doses of ~333mg each) until all 60 grams are consumed

Administration Methods:

• Oral: Primary method—sublingual or swallowed for systemic absorption
• Topical: For skin lesions, applied directly and covered with bandages
• Inhalation: Not recommended as primary treatment, though Simpson acknowledged it for immediate symptom relief

Important context for evaluating this protocol:

• No controlled trials have validated these doses or timeline
• Traditional RSO potency was unknown and variable (60-90% THC estimated)
• At peak dosing, patients consumed 600-900mg of delta-9 THC daily—a dose far exceeding any clinical study
• These doses carry serious risks: severe intoxication, anxiety, panic, tachycardia, and cannabis use disorder
• For cancer patients, using unregulated oil instead of proven therapies can cause genuine harm

Many Cook Islands residents searching for “RSO dosing protocol” or “how to take RSO” find this information online. We present it here completely and honestly because you deserve to know exactly what the original protocol was—and why we needed to create something fundamentally different.

What Traditional RSO Actually Was (And Why It Needed to Evolve)

Understanding what Simpson made in his kitchen matters because many products sold today as “RSO” bear little resemblance to his original oil. Here’s what traditional RSO actually was:

Source Material: Single high-THC indica strain, no standardization. Every batch differed based on what grew that season.

Extraction Solvent: Naphtha (petroleum-based lighter fluid) or 99% isopropyl alcohol—neither food-grade. Naphtha can contain benzene and other carcinogens. Incomplete solvent purging left potentially toxic residues.

Process: Plant material soaked in solvent, filtered, then evaporated in a rice cooker at temperatures that destroyed terpenes and fully decarboxylated all THCa into THC.

Appearance: Nearly black, thick, tar-like oil with possible solvent-residual smell.

Cannabinoid Profile: 60-90% delta-9 THC, uncontrolled, unmeasured, never lab-verified. Minor cannabinoids existed only at whatever ratios the plant provided.

Terpene Content: Minimal to none. The heat and solvents destroyed these volatile compounds.

Standardization: None. No lab testing. No Certificate of Analysis. Every batch was different.

Residual Solvent Risk: Significant. Without analytical testing, consumers could never be sure what remained in the oil.

This approach made sense in 2003 Canada when cannabis was illegal and testing infrastructure didn’t exist. But the Cook Islands deserves something better in 2024.

How OilWell Cannabis Was Born: A Story That Started with a Dog Named Bentley

OilWell Cannabis wasn’t born in a boardroom. It was born in a Houston apartment when Colin Valencia’s dog Bentley—paralyzed, facing euthanasia, in organ-destroying pain—got up and walked over with his ball to play.

That’s not an exaggeration. It’s not marketing. It’s what happened when Colin, who grew up in the dangerous border region of McAllen, Texas, learned about CBD for the first time from a rescue worker who asked, “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and you’ve never heard of CBD?” Colin had cannabis experience, but it was recreational. That question exposed a blind spot that would become a mission.

Bentley lived another ten years, dying naturally at age twenty. During those years, Colin developed specialized formulas for every condition Bentley faced: neurodegeneration (leading to CBG research), dementia (CBC for neurogenesis), glaucoma (THC’s CB1 agonism), and crippling arthritis (multi-pathway anti-inflammatory approaches). Single cannabinoids weren’t enough—Bentley’s evolving conditions required multi-cannabinoid synergy with pharmaceutical precision because Bentley’s life depended on it.

From Dog to Human: Colin’s Own Battle with PTSD and Benzos

Colin also knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He struggled with PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction. When he decided to quit Xanax cold turkey—a notoriously dangerous feat—he used the cannabinoid knowledge he developed keeping Bentley alive. The Peace Gummies formula that became an OilWell product was created during midnight experiments while fighting through benzo withdrawal. To this day, Colin personally uses the vape form for his insomnia and severe PTSD.

This is not theoretical knowledge from a corporate executive. This is lived experience from someone who understands what it means to be failed by pharmaceuticals and saved by cannabinoids. That authenticity matters to Cook Islands residents who’ve seen too many slick marketing campaigns and not enough real solutions.

The OilWell RSO Philosophy: Four Principles for the Cook Islands

Our approach to RSO isn’t traditional—it’s evolved. We built our formulas around four principles that we believe matter deeply to Cook Islands communities:

1. Accessibility Over Gatekeeping

In the Cook Islands, you can’t just drive to a dispensary. There are no local cannabis shops. You shouldn’t need a medical card or qualifying condition to access plant medicine. Our RSO is available to anyone 21+ with no medical documentation required. We ship directly to the Cook Islands with full customs documentation. Rick Simpson gave his oil away for free; we sell a professionally manufactured product but publish the complete formula so if you can’t afford it, you can make your own. That’s our version of accessibility.

2. Patient-Controlled Potency

Traditional RSO was always psychoactive—always. Our sublingual formula contains 1,500mg of THCa in its raw, non-psychoactive form. You decide:

• Use it raw: Zero psychoactivity, perfect for daytime work on the plantation, fishing, or caring for family
• Decarboxylate at home: Heat at 260°F for 45-60 minutes to convert THCa to ~1,315mg delta-9 THC, creating full-potency psychoactive medicine
• Vape it: Instant activation at 400-450°F for breakthrough moments

This means the same 30mL bottle serves multiple needs—non-psychoactive anti-inflammatory for your workday, full-strength medicine for nighttime. That’s control traditional RSO never offered.

3. Open-Source Formulas

We publish every milligram amount publicly. Why? Because Colin learned from Rick Simpson that medicine shouldn’t be locked behind corporate secrets. If you’re in Rarotonga and you have access to cannabinoid distillates, you can replicate our formula. If you’re in Aitutaki and shipping costs are prohibitive, you can make it yourself. This isn’t marketing—it’s our foundational ethos, demonstrated when we first published the CBD golden paste recipe that saved Bentley.

4. Evidence-Informed, Not Evidence-Overstating

We refuse to sell hope without honesty. Every cannabinoid in our formula has its own evidence profile—some strong, some emerging, some still speculative. We’ll tell you exactly which is which. Cook Islands residents deserve the same standards applied to cannabinoids as to any other health product.

The Science Behind Every Drop: Cannabinoids and Evidence

Our RSO contains seven cannabinoids at specific ratios. Here’s what the science actually says about each:

CBD (4,500mg) — The Foundation

• Best evidence: Seizure disorders (FDA-approved Epidiolex)
• Emerging evidence: A 2024 meta-analysis of 316 participants showed significant anxiolytic effects, though authors stress more trials are needed
• Pain: 2024 review found promising but heterogeneous results
• Safety: 2023 meta-analysis identified real signals for liver enzyme elevation—important for concentrated oral products
• Cook Islands relevance: For those dealing with chronic pain from fishing, agriculture, or arthritis, CBD offers anti-inflammatory support without psychoactive effects

CBG (3,000mg) — The Neuroprotector

• Evidence: Mostly preclinical and review-level; human data sparse
• Pharmacology: Acts on cannabinoid receptors, alpha-2 adrenoceptors, and 5-HT1A pathways
• Potential areas: Neurologic disorders, inflammatory bowel disease (relevant for our high diabetes rates), antibacterial activity
• Caution: Commercially interesting BECAUSE it’s underexplored—claims often outrun science
• Cook Islands relevance: For aging relatives facing neurodegeneration, CBG’s preclinical neuroprotection is promising though not proven

Delta-8 THC (6,000mg) — The Gentle Psychoactive

• Evidence: Pharmacologically relevant, less potent than delta-9 THC but still psychoactive
• 2022 review: Found similar pharmacokinetics/dynamics to delta-9, partial CB1 agonist
• 2023 scoping review: Noted adverse consequence reports and regulatory concerns
• Cook Islands relevance: Provides therapeutic effects with potentially less anxiety than delta-9—important for first-time users cautious about “getting too high”

THCa (1,500mg) — The Game-Changer

• What it is: Acidic, non-psychoactive precursor to THC
• Evidence: Preclinical anti-inflammatory (COX-2 inhibition), neuroprotective (PPARγ agonism), antineoplastic possibilities
• Critical distinction: Only stays non-psychoactive if unheated—our product’s flexibility comes from preserving it
• Conversion math: 1mg THCa = 0.877mg delta-9 THC after decarboxylation
• Cook Islands relevance: This is what makes legal, patient-controlled potency possible for you

Delta-9 THC (90mg) — The Minimal Dose

• Evidence: Strongest human evidence among psychoactive cannabinoids
• Best support: Chemo nausea, HIV/AIDS appetite, some pain/MS symptoms
• Safety: 2025 review found consistent associations with psychosis, cannabis use disorder at high concentrations
• Our approach: Only 90mg total—3mg/mL—well below the 0.3% Farm Bill threshold. You control whether to activate the additional ~1,315mg through THCa conversion

CBN (750mg) — The Sleep Cannabinoid (Maybe)

• Reputation vs. reality: Marketed heavily for sleep, but 2021 review found zero clinical trials using validated sleep measures
• 2024 review: Overall cannabinoid sleep research still doesn’t match real-world use
• Our inclusion: At 750mg, a significant presence, but we won’t overstate what the evidence supports
• Cook Islands relevance: For those struggling with sleep in the humid nights, CBN may help—but we acknowledge the science is still emerging

CBC (750mg) — The Emerging Protector

• 2024 review: Distinct pharmacodynamics from other cannabinoids, antinociceptive and antibacterial potential
• Older literature: Anti-inflammatory, reduced gut hypermobility, modest rodent analgesia
• Caution: Over-the-counter products already sold despite little clinical efficacy/safety data
• Cook Islands relevance: Another tool in our multi-cannabinoid approach for complex conditions

The Terpene Symphony: More Than Just Aroma

Traditional RSO had essentially no terpenes. Ours includes seven at 5% concentration:

• Limonene (citrus-bright): Mood elevation, antioxidant properties. Be aware: oxidized limonene can be a contact allergen
• Myrcene: Often called the “couch-lock” terpene, but human evidence for sedation is limited. Still, its anti-inflammatory potential is real
• Caryophyllene (pepper/spice): The star—direct CB2 receptor agonist, making it cannabinoid-like in its anti-inflammatory action
• Pinene (forest-fresh): Preclinical neuroprotection, but memory-enhancement claims remain unproven in humans
• Linalool (floral/lavender): Preclinical anxiolytic and antidepressant signals, but human trials are scarce. Oxidized forms can cause contact dermatitis
• Humulene (earthy/woody): Anti-inflammatory potential via CB1 and adenosine pathways—rodent studies show promise
• Terpinolene (piney/fruity): Least clinically characterized of our terpenes, but adds complexity to the entourage experience

The entourage effect: Real but not proven. A 2024 comprehensive review confirmed terpene bioactivity is plausible, but robust human proof of cannabis-specific synergy remains limited. We include terpenes because they make the experience richer and the science is promising—not because we can claim proven clinical synergy.

How Cook Islands Residents Use Our RSO: Real-World Contexts

For the fisherman with chronic back pain: Start with 0.3mL raw sublingual oil in the morning before heading out. The CBG, CBD, and THCa work through multiple anti-inflammatory pathways without impairment. For breakthrough pain after a long day, 2-3 vape puffs provide relief in 1-2 minutes.

For the grandmother with arthritis: 0.5mL sublingual oil twice daily. The caryophyllene activates CB2 receptors while CBD and CBG reduce inflammatory cytokines. If sleep is disrupted by pain, increase the evening dose to 1.0mL for the CBN benefit.

For the family member supporting cancer treatment: We must be clear—our RSO is not a cancer cure. It should never replace proven therapies. However, for chemotherapy-related nausea, 0.5mL sublingual 1 hour before treatment, with vape available for breakthrough nausea, aligns with the best evidence for delta-8 and delta-9 THC antiemetic effects. Always coordinate with your oncology team.

For the veteran with PTSD: Colin’s story is your story. The Peace Gummies formula (derived from his benzo withdrawal experience) is available as an alternative, but the RSO vape provides the fast-acting relief that helps manage flashbacks and severe anxiety episodes.

For the caregiver juggling everything: The raw sublingual oil allows you to function all day without psychoactive effects while still receiving anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective benefits. Decarboxylate a small portion separately for nighttime use when you need deeper rest.

General titration principle: Start low, go slow. Begin with 0.25-0.5mL and assess effects over 2-3 hours before increasing. Your body weight, metabolism, and concurrent medications (especially in our close-knit communities where many elders take multiple prescriptions) all matter.

Legal Framework: What Cook Islands Residents Need to Know

US Federal Law: Our products comply with the 2018 Farm Bill. They contain less than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight at the point of sale. All cannabinoids are hemp-derived.

THCa Legal Distinction: THCa is not delta-9 THC. Our sublingual oil contains only 90mg delta-9 THC in the entire 30mL bottle—3mg/mL, well under the legal threshold. This is what allows us to ship internationally.

Cook Islands Law: You are responsible for verifying local import and possession laws before ordering. Cannabis laws in the Cook Islands are strict, and while hemp-derived products with <0.3% THC may fall under different regulations than marijuana, you must confirm this with local authorities. We provide full documentation, Certificates of Analysis, and receipts for customs purposes, but we cannot guarantee how your package will be handled upon arrival in Rarotonga or other islands. Contact your local customs office or police department to understand current regulations for hemp-derived cannabinoid products.

Important notice: THCa converts to delta-9 THC when heated. If you choose to decarboxylate our product, you are creating a substance that may have different legal status. You accept full responsibility for compliance with Cook Islands law.

Shipping to the Cook Islands: What to Expect

We ship worldwide, including to the Cook Islands. Here’s what you need to know:

Documentation: Every package includes:

• Complete product description

Shipping Methods:

• USPS Priority Mail International: 6-10 business days to New Zealand, plus additional time for forwarding to Cook Islands
• FedEx/UPS International: 3-5 business days to New Zealand, plus forwarding time
• Note: The Cook Islands’ remote location means shipments typically route through Auckland. Allow 2-3 weeks total delivery time.

Order Tracking: Provided for all shipments. You’ll receive updates as your package moves through the system.

Temperature Stability: Our MCT oil base remains stable in tropical heat, but extreme temperatures can accelerate THCa conversion. Store in a cool, dark place upon arrival.

Why ABC13 Houston Featured Us Seven Times (And Why That Matters to You in the Cook Islands)

You might wonder why media coverage from Houston matters when you’re thousands of miles away in the Pacific. Here’s why: when a major-market ABC affiliate repeatedly selects the same company as their expert source across four years—covering business, law, medicine, community health, and politics—it means that company has demonstrated consistency, credibility, and expertise that journalists trust. That trust is transferable. If OilWell is credible enough for America’s fourth-largest city, it’s credible enough for the Cook Islands.

The features:

1. 2019: CBD business boom—our foundational “no snake oil” quote
2. 2021: Helping other entrepreneurs enter the legal market
3. 2021: Delta-8 investigation—our radical honesty on mainstream TV
4. 2021: $35,000 in product donated to encourage COVID vaccination
5. 2021: Proactive Delta-8 removal and warning others before enforcement
6. 2022: Personal cannabis conviction history revealed, putting all other quotes in context
7. 2023: Hemp field feature—positioning at the frontier of legal cannabis

Five different reporters sought Colin out. These features cannot be purchased—only earned. That media record is independent verification that OilWell operates with integrity.

The Bottom Line for the Cook Islands

You live in one of the most beautiful places on Earth, but that remoteness comes with challenges—limited healthcare access, long wait times for specialists, and difficulty obtaining specialized products. When you’re facing cancer, chronic pain, PTSD, or watching a loved one suffer, you don’t have time for marketing hype. You need honest information about what might help and what might harm.

We’ve given you everything: the complete history of RSO, the full traditional protocol with its risks, our founder’s personal story of saving his dog and saving himself, the exact formula down to the last milligram, the scientific evidence for every compound with clear statements about what’s proven and what’s not, and transparent legal and shipping information for Cook Islands residents.

This is our promise to you:

• No inflated claims about cancer cures
• No hiding behind proprietary blends
• No pretending cannabis is right for everyone
• Yes to complete transparency
• Yes to publishing our formulas
• Yes to evidence-based education
• Yes to shipping to the Cook Islands with full documentation

Rick Simpson’s vision was that people should control their own medicine. We’ve built that into the chemistry itself. You decide whether to use it raw or activated. You decide whether to buy from us or make your own using our published recipe. You decide, based on the best information we can provide, whether this is right for you.

Questions About Cook Islands Law: We recommend contacting your local police department or customs office in Rarotonga before ordering. We can provide any documentation they require.

Community Support: If you’re part of a cancer support group, chronic pain community, or veteran’s organization in the Cook Islands, we’re happy to do a group video call to answer questions collectively—helps with shipping cost sharing too.

Remember: Start low, go slow, and always coordinate with your healthcare provider—even if that means a telehealth consultation with a doctor in New Zealand or Australia who understands cannabinoids.

This is more than a product. It’s a commitment to the kind of honest, community-centered approach that Rick Simpson started and that we believe the Cook Islands deserves.
