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

If you’re reading this from Crowley County—whether you’re tending crops outside Ordway, managing chronic pain in Sugar City, or caring for a loved one in Olney Springs—you’ve likely heard whispers about Rick Simpson Oil. Maybe someone at the Crowley County Fair mentioned it. Perhaps a veteran at the American Legion hall in Crowley talked about how it helped with their PTSD. Or maybe you’re searching online at 2 AM, desperate for something that works when the prescriptions from Pueblo doctors haven’t touched the pain.

We get it. We’ve been there. And we built OilWell Cannabis for people exactly like you—people in rural communities like Crowley County who deserve honest answers about cannabis medicine, not hype.

Who Is Rick Simpson—And Why His Story Matters to Crowley County

Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor. He was a power engineer from Nova Scotia—a blue-collar worker, not unlike many folks here in Crowley County’s agricultural community. In 1997, he fell from scaffolding at a hospital, suffered a head injury, and found himself trapped in a cycle of tinnitus, dizziness, and chronic pain that his doctors couldn’t fix. The medications made things worse. Sound familiar? We hear this story constantly from Crowley County residents who’ve been prescribed everything from opioids to gabapentin with little relief.

When Simpson asked his doctor about cannabis, he was dismissed. So he took matters into his own hands. In 2003, after reading about a 1974 NIH study showing THC could shrink tumors in mice (never replicated in humans, but we’ll get to that), Simpson applied concentrated cannabis oil to three bumps on his arm that doctors said were basal cell carcinoma. According to his personal testimony, the lesions disappeared in four days. No biopsy. No clinical documentation. Just his word.

Here’s the crucial context: Simpson’s story is historically significant—it sparked a global movement—but it is not medical evidence. As we tell folks at the Crowley County Senior Center or the Olney Springs Community Center, personal testimony is powerful, but it doesn’t replace clinical trials. We respect what Simpson started, but we built OilWell on science, not stories.

The Traditional RSO Protocol: What Simpson Recommended

Simpson’s protocol was simple in concept: consume 60 grams of oil over 90 days. But the execution was extreme—even for Crowley County’s toughest ranchers.

The 90-Day Titration Schedule

• 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 (split into three doses)
• Post-protocol: 1-2 grams monthly for “maintenance”

Administration methods:

• Oral: Primary route—under the tongue or swallowed
• Topical: For skin cancers, applied under bandages
• Not recommended: Smoking/vaping as primary treatment

Why This Protocol Is Problematic for Crowley County Residents

1. No standardization: Every batch was different. You couldn’t know your actual dose.
2. Extreme THC exposure: 600-900mg of delta-9 THC daily at peak dosing. That’s 30-40 times the FDA-approved maximum for dronabinol.
3. Real risks: Severe intoxication, anxiety, tachycardia, cannabis use disorder. If you’re driving Highway 96 to Pueblo or operating equipment on your farm, this level of impairment is dangerous.
4. No clinical validation: Zero controlled trials. Zero peer-reviewed studies of this specific protocol.
5. Solvent dangers: Simpson used naphtha (lighter fluid) or isopropyl alcohol. Residual carcinogens like benzene were real risks.

Important context: We present this protocol because Crowley County residents deserve to know what “RSO” originally meant. Many products sold at dispensaries in Pueblo or Colorado Springs still follow this crude approach. But at OilWell, we did something different.

What the Science Actually Says: Evidence From the Texas Medical Center to Crowley County

We built OilWell in Houston’s Montrose neighborhood, working with Baylor College of Medicine—a world-class medical institution. That training taught us to follow evidence, not emotion. Here’s what the research actually shows, with citations you can verify:

What Simpson Got Right

• He drew attention to cannabinoid research when the medical establishment ignored it
• He helped create the legal cannabis market that serves Crowley County today
• The term “RSO” is now universally recognized

What He Overstated

• No human trial has proven RSO cures cancer. The 1974 THC-tumor study was in mice. Mice aren’t people.
• Preclinical findings haven’t translated. THC and CBD can kill cancer cells in petri dishes , but that hasn’t produced human cures.
• Institutional positions are clear:
  • National Cancer Institute: Acknowledges research but doesn’t endorse cannabis for cancer treatment
  • FDA: Hasn’t approved any cannabis plant product for cancer [1]
  • Health Canada: Never approved RSO for cancer

The danger: Encouraging cancer patients to use RSO instead of proven treatments (surgery, chemo, radiation) can cause irreversible harm. If you or a loved one in Crowley County is dealing with cancer, we urge you to coordinate any cannabinoid use with your oncologist at Parkview Medical Center in Pueblo or St. Mary-Corwin Hospital.

OilWell’s Origin: A Dog Named Bentley and a Man Who Refused to Give Up

Our story isn’t from a boardroom. It started with a dog.

Colin Valencia, our founder, grew up in McAllen, Texas—one of the most dangerous border regions in America. He saw friends killed and imprisoned. He left home at sixteen. But when his dog Bentley became paralyzed and veterinarians recommended euthanasia, Colin refused to accept it.

A rescue worker named Jessica asked him: “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and you’ve never heard of CBD?”

That question changed everything. Colin created a CBD golden paste for Bentley. The results weren’t placebo—dogs don’t respond to placebo. Bentley got up. He walked. He lived ten more years, dying naturally at age twenty.

Bentley’s ten-year journey taught us:

• Single cannabinoids aren’t enough. Bentley needed CBD for inflammation, CBG for neuroprotection, THCa for brain health, CBC for neurogenesis. That’s why our RSO has seven cannabinoids, not one.
• Precision matters. When a life is on the line, guesswork isn’t acceptable. Every batch of OilWell RSO is lab-tested to ±2% accuracy.
• Accessibility is non-negotiable. We couldn’t save Bentley only to price-gouge families in Crowley County facing the same desperation.

The Four Principles That Guide OilWell RSO in Crowley County

1. Accessibility Over Gatekeeping

• No medical card required. Unlike Colorado’s medical marijuana program that requires qualifying conditions, we serve anyone 21+ in Crowley County.
• Same-day delivery to Ordway, Crowley, Olney Springs, Sugar City, and surrounding areas. We understand that when you’re in pain, waiting for USPS from Denver isn’t an option.
• International shipping. If you have family in Crowley County who winter elsewhere, we can reach them.

2. Patient-Controlled Potency

Colorado law allows recreational cannabis, but what if you need relief without impairment during branding season or while operating irrigation equipment?

Our sublingual oil contains 1,500mg of raw THCa—non-psychoactive until heated. You choose:

• Raw (no heat): Zero high, safe for daytime use in Crowley County’s agricultural work
• Decarboxylated (260°F for 45-60 min): Converts to ~1,315mg delta-9 THC + 90mg existing = 1,405mg total THC—potency comparable to traditional illegal RSO, but legally purchased
• Vape: Instant conversion at 400-450°F for breakthrough pain

3. Open-Source Formulas

We publish our complete formulas publicly. If $129.99 for our 30mL bottle is out of reach for your Crowley County budget, you can source the ingredients and make it yourself. This isn’t marketing—it’s our promise.

The Bentley Golden Paste recipe (free for pets):

• 1/2 cup organic turmeric powder
• 1 cup water
• 1/3 cup coconut oil
• 1-2 tsp black pepper
• CBD oil (adjust for pet size)

We gave this away before we ever sold RSO. That ethos hasn’t changed.

4. Evidence-Informed, Not Evidence-Overstating

Every cannabinoid in our formula has a citation [1]-[29] connecting it to peer-reviewed research. We don’t hide behind “proprietary blends.” We show you exactly what’s inside and why.

The Science Behind Every Ingredient (For Crowley County’s Curious Minds)

Cannabinoids: What Each One Does

CBD (4,500mg)

• Best evidence: Seizure disorders (Epidiolex FDA-approved) [1][2]
• For Crowley County: Promising for anxiety and chronic pain, but research is still developing [3][4]
• Safety: Can affect liver enzymes—important if you’re on medications common among seniors [6]

CBG (3,000mg)

• Why it matters: Biosynthetic precursor to other cannabinoids
• Research: Preclinical studies show neuroprotective potential—relevant for older Crowley County residents with arthritis or early dementia [7][8]

Delta-8 THC (6,000mg)

• For Crowley County: Antiemetic effects help with chemo nausea [9]
• Pharmacology: Similar to delta-9 but less potent—important for functional dosing
• Caution: Psychoactive. Will show on drug tests. Don’t operate tractor after vaping [10][11]

THCa (1,500mg)

• Key feature: Non-psychoactive until heated

• Safety: Can cause contact allergies when oxidized [22]

Myrcene

• Claims: Often called “the sedative terpene”
• Reality: Preclinical only. Human proof is limited [23]

Caryophyllene (pepper)

• Unique: Direct CB2 receptor agonist—rare for terpenes [24]
• For Crowley County: Anti-inflammatory pathway relevant to arthritis

Pinene (pine forest)

• Claims: Memory enhancement, anti-inflammatory [25]
• Reality: Interesting but not clinically proven for cognition

Linalool (lavender)

Common Questions from Crowley County

“Is this legal in Crowley County?”
Yes. Colorado allows adult-use cannabis, and our product is Farm Bill compliant at purchase. We ship legally to your Ordway address.

“Will I fail a drug test?”
Raw THCa won’t trigger tests. Activated THC will. If you’re subject to testing (e.g., CDL driver, federal employee), use the raw form only.

“Why is this better than what I can get in Pueblo?”
Most Pueblo dispensaries sell traditional RSO—single-strain, untested, high delta-9 THC. We offer 7 cannabinoids, lab-tested precision, and patient-controlled potency. Plus, you don’t have to drive 90 minutes.

“Can I really make this myself?”
Yes. The complete formula is published above. If you can source distillates, you can replicate it. We want you to have options.

“What if I can’t afford $129.99?”
We understand. Crowley County’s median income is below state average. That’s why we published the recipe. Make it yourself. Or start with our smaller vape cartridge ($49.99) to test if it works for you.
