Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Covington County, Alabama: The Complete Evidence-Based Guide
Living in Covington County, we know what real struggle looks like. Whether you’re working the fields outside Andalusia, serving at Fort Rucker, or trying to get through another day with pain that the doctors at Mizell Memorial can’t seem to fix, you’ve probably heard whispers about cannabis oil. Maybe someone at church mentioned it. Maybe a fellow veteran brought it up at the VFW post. Maybe you’re sitting in your kitchen right now in Florala, staring at a bottle of something called “RSO” you bought online, wondering if it’s real or just another false promise.
We wrote this guide for you. Not for search engines. Not for regulators. For the people of Covington County who deserve honest answers about Rick Simpson Oil—what it is, where it came from, and whether the modern version we make here at OilWell Cannabis can actually help with the cancer diagnoses, chronic pain, PTSD, and sleep disorders that touch too many families in our community.
Who Was Rick Simpson? The True Story Behind RSO
Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor. He wasn’t some fancy researcher from Birmingham or Mobile. He was a blue-collar power engineer from Nova Scotia—a regular working man, just like thousands of us in Covington County. In 1997, he fell from scaffolding at a hospital in Canada, suffered a severe head injury, and found himself with tinnitus and dizziness that never went away. The doctors gave him pills that didn’t work and made him feel worse. When he asked about cannabis, his physician refused to consider it. Sound familiar? That same story plays out every day at doctor’s offices across Alabama.
What happened next changed everything. Simpson discovered a 1974 study from the Medical College of Virginia (funded by our own National Institutes of Health) showing that THC slowed tumor growth in mice. Then in 2003, he developed three bumps on his arm that his doctor diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma. Instead of surgery, Simpson applied concentrated cannabis oil to the lesions, covered them with bandages, and claimed they disappeared in four days. No biopsy, no independent verification—just his personal testimony. But that testimony launched a global movement.
Important context for Covington County readers: Simpson’s story is historically significant, but it’s not medical evidence. When someone’s telling you at the Andalusia farmer’s market that RSO “cures cancer,” remember that no controlled human trial has ever proven that. What Simpson did was draw global attention to cannabinoids as serious medicine—something the medical establishment had ignored for decades. That matters. But it doesn’t make his protocol safe or scientifically validated.
The Traditional RSO Protocol: What Simpson Actually Recommended
Simpson developed a specific regimen that became famous: 60 grams of oil over 90 days. Here’s exactly what it entailed, because we believe you deserve the full picture before making any decisions for yourself or your loved ones here in Covington County.
The 60-Gram Protocol Breakdown
- Week 1: Start with a dose the size of half a grain of rice—about 10-15mg of oil—three times daily (roughly 30-45mg total per day)
- Weeks 2-5: Double the dose every four days, gradually building tolerance
- Weeks 5-12: Reach 1 gram per day (1,000mg), divided into three doses
- After completion: Continue 1-2 grams per month as maintenance
At peak dosing, this meant consuming 600-900mg of delta-9 THC daily—far beyond anything studied in controlled settings. For perspective, the FDA-approved THC drug dronabinol is typically dosed at just 2.5-20mg per day.
Critical safety context for Covington County: This protocol was designed for crude, unstandardized oil with unknown potency. The risks at these doses are real: severe intoxication, anxiety, panic attacks, rapid heartbeat, low blood pressure, and cannabis use disorder. For cancer patients already undergoing treatment at places like Southeast Cancer Center in Dothan (the nearest comprehensive cancer center to Covington County), this level of THC exposure can complicate care and interact unpredictably with chemotherapy drugs.
What Traditional RSO Actually Was: The Product Specifications
Before we explain how OilWell’s modern RSO differs, you need to understand what Simpson actually made in his kitchen in Nova Scotia:
- Source material: Single high-THC indica strains, no standardization
- Extraction solvent: Naphtha (lighter fluid) or 99% isopropyl alcohol—definitely not food-grade
- Process: Cannabis soaked in solvent, filtered, evaporated in a rice cooker
- Appearance: Nearly black, thick, tar-like oil with possible solvent residue smell
- Cannabinoid profile: 60-90% delta-9 THC, uncontrolled ratios of minor cannabinoids
- Terpenes: Effectively destroyed by heat and solvent—minimal to none remaining
- Testing: None. Every batch was different with no lab verification
- Residual solvent risk: Significant. Naphtha contains benzene and toluene, known carcinogens
This is what most “RSO” products still look like today, whether they’re sold at head shops in Opp or made in someone’s garage in Red Level. The variability and safety concerns are real.
Why OilWell’s RSO Is Different: Modern Formulation for Covington County Needs
OilWell’s RSO is not traditional RSO. We built this formula specifically to solve the problems that made Simpson’s approach dangerous and unpredictable. For the farmers in Gantt, the veterans in Andalusia, the cancer patients traveling three hours to Dothan for treatment—you deserve better than crude oil made with lighter fluid.
Our Four Core Principles
1. Accessibility Over Gatekeeping
No medical card required. In Alabama, our medical cannabis program is one of the most restrictive in the nation—only about 10,000 active patients compared to Florida’s 700,000, despite Florida having two-thirds our population. You shouldn’t need a cancer diagnosis or PTSD paperwork to access cannabinoid medicine. If you’re 21 or older in Covington County, you can order OilWell RSO today. We ship directly to your door in Andalusia, Babbie, Carolina, Florala, Gantt, Heath, Horn Hill, Libertyville, Lockhart, Onycha, Opp, River Falls, Sanford, or any unincorporated area in between.
2. Patient-Controlled Potency
Traditional RSO was always psychoactive—always high-THC, always impairing. Our formula contains 1,500mg of THCa, the non-psychoactive precursor to THC. You decide:
- Raw (no heat): Completely non-psychoactive. Take it during the day, drive to work, function normally. Perfect for the mechanic in Opp who needs relief but can’t be impaired on the job.
- Decarboxylated (heat at 260°F for 45-60 minutes): Converts THCa to THC, delivering approximately 1,405mg total THC—potency comparable to traditional RSO for nighttime use or severe symptom management.
- Vape (instant decarboxylation): Our vape cartridge automatically converts THCa with each puff for 1-2 minute onset relief.
This three-option flexibility means one product serves multiple needs across your day and condition severity.
3. Open-Source Formulas
We’re publishing our complete formula below because we believe in Rick Simpson’s original vision—medicine should be accessible. If $129.99 for our sublingual oil or $49.99 for our vape cartridge doesn’t fit your Covington County budget, you can source the individual cannabinoid distillates and make it yourself using our exact recipe. This isn’t marketing. It’s our commitment to the community.
4. Evidence-Informed, Never Evidence-Overstating
Every claim we make is backed by peer-reviewed research cited in this document. We don’t promise cancer cures. We provide the actual science so you can make informed decisions for yourself or your family member in Covington County.
Farm Bill Compliance: Legal for Covington County Residents
The 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight. Our sublingual oil contains only 90mg of delta-9 THC in the entire 30mL bottle—3mg per mL—well under the legal threshold. All cannabinoids are hemp-derived.
Important for Alabama: THCa is not delta-9 THC. At the point of sale, our product is completely Farm Bill compliant. You can legally possess, transport, and use it in Covington County, throughout Alabama, and across state lines. We ship nationwide with full documentation, Certificates of Analysis, and receipts.
However, if you choose to decarboxylate the THCa at home, you become responsible for understanding Alabama law regarding possession of the resulting THC. The conversion happens in your kitchen, not in our facility—that’s what makes this a legal pathway to therapeutic potency.

The Evidence Behind What We Claim
We hold ourselves to the same standard we apply to everyone else. Here’s what the research actually says about each component in our formula.
CBD: The Most Studied Non-Psychoactive Cannabinoid
- Seizures: FDA-approved Epidiolex for rare epilepsies—strongest evidence in cannabis medicine [2]
- Anxiety: 2024 meta-analysis of 316 participants showed significant anxiolytic effect, but authors stress need for larger trials [3]
- Pain: 2024 systematic review found “promising but heterogeneous” results; quality remains limited [4]
- Safety: 2023 meta-analysis identified real liver enzyme elevation risk, especially with high doses or polypharmacy [6]
For Covington County: If you’re managing chronic pain from years of physical labor or dealing with anxiety after military service, CBD offers the best evidence base among non-psychoactive options. But it’s not risk-free—talk to your doctor at Mizell Memorial if you’re on other medications.
CBG: The “Mother Cannabinoid”
- Pharmacology: Precursor to other cannabinoids, interacts with CB1/CB2, 5-HT1A, and adrenoceptors [7]
- Research: Primarily preclinical; human evidence “sparse” as of 2021 [8]
- Commercial reality: Being sold widely while evidence base remains thin [7]
Bottom line for Covington County: CBG is promising for neuroinflammation—potentially relevant for veterans with TBI or seniors with dementia—but it’s still early research. We include it because the preclinical signal is strong, not because it’s proven.
Delta-8 THC: The “Legal Weed” Controversy
- Pharmacology: Partial CB1 agonist, 2-3x less potent than delta-9 THC [9]
- Evidence: Mostly animal studies and use reports; human trials limited [10]
- Safety: Real adverse events reported; manufacturing quality varies widely [10][11]
For Alabama residents: When Texas banned delta-8 overnight in October 2021, OilWell proactively removed all products before enforcement. We absorbed major revenue loss to protect our customers. That’s the kind of integrity Covington County deserves.
THCa: Your Potency Control Switch
- Non-psychoactive: Does not bind CB1 receptors, produces no “high” [12]
- Conversion: At 260°F for 45-60 minutes, 1,500mg THCa → ~1,315mg delta-9 THC [12]
- Stability: Converts slowly over time even at room temperature; storage matters [12]
Covington County application: Keep the bottle in your truck during a hot Alabama summer and some conversion will happen naturally. Use a thermometer for precise decarboxylation—this is chemistry, not guesswork.
Delta-9 THC: The Original Medicine
- Best evidence: Chemotherapy nausea/vomiting, HIV/AIDS appetite, some MS/pain outcomes (NCCIH) [1]
- Pain: 2022 review found short-term benefit but increased dizziness, sedation, nausea, and discontinuation [13]
- High-dose risk: 2025 review linked high-concentration THC products to psychosis, cannabis use disorder, anxiety, and depression [15]
For Covington County: Our formula contains only 90mg total delta-9 THC—compliance-level, not therapeutic-level. The therapeutic THC comes from YOUR decarboxylation of THCa, making this legally distinct from traditional marijuana products.
CBN: The Sleep Cannabinoid (Maybe)
- Evidence gap: 2021 review examined 99 human-study abstracts, found NO trials using validated sleep questionnaires or polysomnography [16]
- Marketing vs. science: Reputation far exceeds current clinical support [17]
Honest take for Covington County: We include 750mg CBN because the preclinical signal is interesting and many customers report sleep benefits. But we won’t claim it’s “clinically proven”—that would be false advertising.
CBC: The Emerging Neuroprotective
- Early research: 2024 review describes “distinct pharmacodynamics” with antinociceptive, antibacterial, and anti-seizure potential [18]
- Reality check: Products already sold despite “little evidence establishing clinical efficacy or safety” [18]
Covington County perspective: For families dealing with neurodegeneration in rural areas with limited specialist access, CBC represents hope. But it’s experimental. We include it because the science is moving fast, not because it’s settled.
When to Use Each Format in Covington County Life

| Cancer treatment nausea | Vape then sublingual | Immediate relief + sustained coverage |
| PTSD night terrors | Sublingual (decarbed) | Full cannabinoid profile for sleep architecture |
| Driving to Montgomery for chemo | Sublingual (raw) | Zero impairment, legal peace of mind |
| Visiting family in Florala | Vape | Portable, discreet, no measuring |

Traditional illegal RSO in Covington County: Made with naphtha in someone’s shed near the Conecuh National Forest. No testing. Unknown potency. Possible solvent contamination. $50-100 per gram cash only. Legal risk for possession.
Hemp CBD oil from gas stations in Andalusia: Contains maybe 1,000mg total cannabinoids if you’re lucky. No minor cannabinoids. No terpenes. No psychoactive option. $40-50 for inferior product.
Driving to Florida: 4-hour round trip to Pensacola dispensary. Medical card required (if you qualify). TCUP-style products with only THC, no minor cannabinoids. $60-80 per half-gram syringe.
OilWell RSO shipped to your Covington County door: 16,590mg across 7 cannabinoids. Lab-tested. Legal. Patient-controlled potency. $129.99 for 30mL (40-60 doses). Delivered in 2-3 business days.
Condition-Specific Guidance for Covington County Health Challenges
Cancer Support (during chemo at Southeast Cancer Center)
- Pre-treatment: 0.5-1mL sublingual (decarbed) 1 hour before
- Breakthrough nausea: 2-3 vape puffs
- Post-treatment: 0.5mL every 6 hours
- Sleep: 1-2mL before bed (25-50mg CBN)
- Never replace proven treatment. RSO complements oncology; it doesn’t substitute.
Chronic Pain (from years of timber work, construction, military service)
- Daytime: 0.3-0.5mL raw sublingual (functional, non-impairing)
- Evening: 0.5-1mL decarbed sublingual + vape as needed
- Evidence: CBD analgesic potential [4], delta-9 THC pain evidence [13], caryophyllene CB2 activation [24]
PTSD & Anxiety (too common among Covington County veterans)
- Daytime anxiety: 0.3mL raw sublingual (CBD + CBG)
- Night flashbacks: Vape for immediate relief
- Sleep maintenance: 1mL sublingual (CBN-inclusive)
- Colin’s story: He quit Xanax cold turkey using this formula during benzo withdrawal.
Sleep Disorders (common in rural areas with shift work)
- 1-2mL sublingual 30 minutes before bed
- Start with 1mL (25mg CBN), increase if needed
- Evidence reality: CBN sleep data is weak [16][17], but our customers report benefits. We won’t oversell it.
Start low, go slow. Covington County folks are practical. Begin with 0.25mL and assess over 2-3 hours. Your body is unique.
OilWell’s ABC13 Media Record: Credibility You Can Verify
Between 2019-2023, ABC13 Houston featured Colin Valencia in seven major segments. This isn’t paid advertising—it’s earned media from America’s fourth-largest market. For Covington County residents skeptical of online cannabis companies, this third-party validation matters.
2019: “CBD businesses booming” — Colin’s foundational quote: “I’m not trying to sell people snake oil… there’s enough research out there that people just need to know and try and have the best possible version.”
2021: Delta-8 investigation — Steve Campion’s iconic exchange: “Why would someone want to smoke that?” Colin: “I don’t give a sh** if it’s wrong to say you’ll get high off it. Maybe you want to get high.” That honesty on mainstream TV is unmatched.
2021: COVID vaccine giveaway — OilWell donated $35,000 in product (1,000 caviar pre-rolls) to encourage vaccination, coordinated with City of Houston. No political agenda. Just community health.
2021: Delta-8 ban — When Texas reclassified delta-8 as Schedule I overnight, Colin proactively removed all products and warned other operators they were unknowingly shipping narcotics. He absorbed the revenue loss to act ethically.
2022: Biden pardon — Revealed Colin’s personal marijuana conviction history. “I would love to see people not get hurt for this anymore.” This isn’t corporate speak; it’s lived experience.
2023: “Renaissance” — Colin growing hemp on camera, explaining that Texas’s restrictive medical program (10,000 patients vs. Florida’s 700,000) creates demand for legal hemp alternatives.
These features prove OilWell isn’t a fly-by-night operation. We’re a media-vetted company operating transparently in the public eye for over four years.

Why This Matters Right Now in Covington County
Alabama’s medical cannabis program, signed into law in 2021, remains one of the nation’s most restrictive. As of 2024, fewer than 10,000 Alabamians have active medical cards. For the 37,000 residents of Covington County, access is effectively nonexistent unless you have one of a handful of qualifying conditions and can afford the doctor visits and card fees.
Meanwhile, chronic pain affects an estimated 1 in 5 Alabamians—likely higher in rural Covington County where physical labor remains central to life. Cancer touches nearly every family. PTSD rates among veterans in our area, near Fort Rucker, are well above national averages.
You deserve options that are:
- Legal under federal law
- Tested for safety and potency
- Honest about what the science actually shows
- Accessible without jumping through medical bureaucracy
- Affordable with an open-source alternative
- Supported by real media credibility, not just website claims
That’s what OilWell RSO represents for Covington County.
