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

Here in Dade County, where the Appalachian foothills rise and community bonds run deep, we understand what it means to take care of our own. When a neighbor’s struggling, when someone’s in pain, when the medical system leaves folks with more questions than answers—we don’t just look the other way. That same spirit drove us to create something that brings real cannabis medicine within reach, no medical card required, shipped right to your door in Trenton, Rising Fawn, or anywhere between Lookout Mountain and Cloudland Canyon.

Who Rick Simpson Was (And What He Got Right)

Most folks in Dade County first hear about RSO through word of mouth—someone’s cousin fighting cancer, a veteran at the VFW dealing with chronic pain, a friend who couldn’t sleep. Rick Simpson was a Canadian power engineer, not a doctor, who started making concentrated cannabis oil after conventional medicine failed him. Sound familiar? We’ve all seen that story play out here—folks driving two hours to Chattanooga for specialists, waiting months for appointments, getting bounced between doctors who’d rather prescribe pills than listen.

In 2003, Simpson claimed cannabis oil removed his skin cancer. Here’s what matters: no biopsy ever confirmed it. No independent medical verification exists. But his personal testimony sparked a global movement because it spoke to something people already knew deep down—cannabis has healing potential that our establishment ignores. That movement reached Dade County the same way it reached everywhere else: through desperate people sharing hope.

Why Traditional RSO Isn’t Good Enough Anymore

The old-school RSO protocol Simpson promoted—60 grams in 90 days, escalating to 1 gram daily—was built on crude, single-strain cannabis extracted with naphtha or isopropyl alcohol. Nothing standardized. No lab testing. No consistency from batch to batch. Here in Georgia, where we take pride in craftsmanship and doing things right, that approach feels reckless.

The problems with traditional RSO our Dade County neighbors should know:

• Uncontrolled potency: Simpson’s oil ranged from 60-90% delta-9 THC—600-900mg daily at peak dosing. That’s far beyond anything studied safely in humans and caused real impairment risks for anyone needing to drive our mountain roads or work a job.
• No lab testing: Traditional makers couldn’t verify solvents were fully purged. Inhaling residual naphtha is no joke—we’ve got folks here working industrial jobs with enough chemical exposure already.
• Zero terpenes: The high-heat process destroyed all the aromatic compounds that give cannabis its character and potential therapeutic nuance.
• One-size-fits-all: Simpson offered no options for daytime functional use. Everyone got the same knockout-level oil, whether they needed to stay alert for their shift at the carpet mill or not.

Bentley’s Story: Where OilWell Began

Our company didn’t start in a boardroom. It started with a dog named Bentley and a question that changed everything.

Bentley was Colin Valencia’s best friend—his companion through the hardest years growing up on the Texas-Mexico border in McAllen, where violence and loss were daily realities. When Bentley became paralyzed at age ten, the vet said euthanasia was the only humane choice. The pain medications would destroy his organs. It was hopeless.

Except Colin had learned cannabis from the ground up in his early years, and a rescue worker named Jessica asked him something that stuck: “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and you’ve never heard of CBD?”

For ten years, Colin experimented. He developed specialized formulas for each condition Bentley faced: neurodegeneration (CBG’s neuroprotective properties), dementia (CBC’s role in neurogenesis), glaucoma (THCa’s PPARγ activation), arthritis (multi-pathway anti-inflammation using CBD, CBG, THCa, and beta-caryophyllene). Bentley lived to age twenty—ten years longer than any vet predicted—teaching Colin that single cannabinoids aren’t enough. Real therapeutic potential lives in precise multi-cannabinoid synergy.

When we say our formulas are tested, we mean they were tested on the being Colin loved most in the world. Dogs don’t respond to placebo. That miracle in McAllen became the foundation for everything we offer Dade County today.

Why We Publish Our Complete Formula

Right here, for every neighbor in Dade County to see:

OilWell RSO Sublingual Oil – Complete Formula

That’s 553mg of active cannabinoids per milliliter—more total cannabinoids than any Georgia dispensary product, fully open-source.

Why does this matter in Dade County? Because some folks here can afford $129.99 for our professionally manufactured, lab-tested bottle. Others can’t. But everyone deserves access. If you can source the individual distillates, you can make this exact formula at home using our published ratios. We don’t hide our recipe behind proprietary blends like other companies. That’s not how we were raised.

The Cannabinoid Science Dade County Should Know

Every compound in our formula has real research behind it—not hype, not TikTok claims, but peer-reviewed science.

CBD (4,500mg)

The most proven non-psychoactive cannabinoid. Human trials show significant anti-seizure effects (FDA approved Epidiolex for rare epilepsies). For anxiety, a 2024 meta-analysis of 316 participants found clear anxiolytic signals, though researchers stress more studies are needed [3]. For chronic pain, the evidence is promising but mixed—a 2024 review calls it “heterogeneous” with quality limitations [4]. In our Dade County context, where many folks deal with fibromyalgia, arthritis from years of physical labor, or neuropathy, CBD provides a foundation without impairment.

CBG (3,000mg)

The mother cannabinoid. It’s the precursor to THC and CBD in the plant. Preclinical studies show anti-inflammatory activity, neuroprotective potential in animal models of Huntington’s and Parkinson’s, and antibacterial effects [7][8]. For our veterans dealing with traumatic brain injury or neurodegeneration, CBG’s mechanism—activating PPARγ receptors that protect brain cells—is especially relevant. But we must be honest: human trials are just beginning. A 2024 Washington State study found 20mg CBG significantly reduced anxiety at 20, 45, and 60 minutes post-ingestion in the first human trial, but this is early data [7]. We include it because Bentley’s neurodegeneration taught us it’s essential, not because it’s proven.

Delta-8 THC (6,000mg)

The misunderstood middle ground. Chemically similar to delta-9 but about half the psychoactive potency [9]. For Dade County residents who want relief without being incapacitated, this matters. A 2022 review confirmed delta-8 has real CB1 activity, meaning it will get you high—but less intensely than delta-9 [9]. However, the safety data is incomplete. A 2023 scoping review noted adverse event reports and manufacturing quality concerns [10]. We use it because it provides therapeutic THC effects at a lower intensity, but we never pretend it’s risk-free.

THCa (1,500mg)

The game-changer for Georgia legality. THCa is non-psychoactive in its raw form. It’s only when heated that it converts to delta-9 THC through decarboxylation. This is the key to our product’s legal status and your control.

The chemistry: Heat our oil at 260°F for 45-60 minutes, and 1,500mg THCa becomes approximately 1,315mg delta-9 THC. Combined with the existing 90mg delta-9, you get about 1,405mg total delta-9—potency comparable to illegal cannabis, but created legally in your own kitchen.

For Dade County residents who work at the quarry, drive trucks, or operate machinery, this means you can use the raw oil during the day for anti-inflammatory benefits (THCa inhibits COX-2 enzymes like ibuprofen does [12]) and activate it at night for sleep. The choice is yours—just like Rick Simpson believed it should be.

Delta-9 THC (90mg)

The main event, used sparingly. Our entire bottle contains only 90mg delta-9 THC—less than what Simpson recommended people take in a single day (600-900mg). Yet it’s enough to provide entourage benefits. Human trials confirm delta-9 THC helps chemotherapy nausea, HIV-related appetite loss, and certain pain conditions [1][13]. But it also carries risks: high doses trigger anxiety, panic, tachycardia, and can worsen mental health over time [15]. In Dade County, where we’ve lost neighbors to the opioid crisis, we refuse to play games with potency. We give you enough to work synergistically, but not enough to cause harm when used responsibly.

CBN (750mg)

The sleep question mark. Everyone says CBN helps sleep, but the evidence is surprisingly thin. A 2021 review screened 99 human studies and found no clinical trials using validated sleep measures that could justify strong claims [16]. A 2024 update confirmed the literature remains “methodologically weak” [17]. We include 750mg because at 2mL dose you get 50mg CBN—the amount used in recent studies showing some benefit—but we won’t oversell it. If it helps you sleep, wonderful. If not, the other cannabinoids still provide value.

CBC (750mg)

The underdog cannabinoid. A 2024 review found CBC has distinct pharmacology—antinociceptive, antibacterial, and possible anti-seizure effects in animals [18]. It’s especially interesting for neurogenesis (creating new brain cells), which matters for TBI recovery and dementia prevention [19]. But human trials are essentially non-existent. We include it because Bentley’s dementia taught us its importance, not because we can make medical claims.

Terpenes: The Mountain Air Connection

Living in Dade County, you know what fresh mountain air smells like—pine, citrus, earthy richness. Those are terpenes. Traditional RSO destroyed them all. We preserve and enhance them at 5% concentration.

Limonene (citrus-bright): The smell of fresh Georgia oranges. Preclinical studies show anti-inflammatory and mood-lifting potential [21]. But watch for oxidation—it can cause skin allergies [22].

Myrcene (herbal depth): Found in mangoes and hops. Animal studies suggest pain and anxiety benefits, but human proof is lacking [23]. It’s often blamed for “couch-lock,” but that claim is stronger than the evidence supports.

Caryophyllene (pepper/spice): This one’s special—it’s a direct CB2 receptor agonist, the same system CBD influences [24]. For inflammation, this matters. It’s why our formula works for arthritis on multiple pathways.

Pinene (forest-fresh): The scent of our pine-covered mountains. Early research suggests memory and attention benefits, but human trials are weak [25].

Linalool (lavender-floral): The calming scent. Studies show antidepressant potential in animals, but human data is preliminary [26]. Also an allergen when oxidized [22].

Humulene (earthy, woody): Anti-inflammatory in animal models, possibly appetite-suppressing [27]. Relevant for our neighbors managing weight alongside pain.

Terpinolene (complex, fruity): The least studied of our seven, but promising antibacterial and antioxidant signals in early research [28].

The “entourage effect”—the idea that these compounds work better together—is plausible but not proven in humans [20][29]. We include terpenes because Bentley’s response showed they matter, not because we can make definitive claims.

Two Ways to Use It: Choosing What’s Right for Dade County Life

We offer the same formula in two formats because one size never fits all in our community.

RSO Sublingual Oil ($129.99)

• 30mL bottle with 16,590mg total cannabinoids
• Onset: 15-45 minutes (place under tongue)
• Duration: 4-6 hours
• Best for: Sustained relief throughout the day, precise dosing, maximum bioavailability
• Dade County use cases:
  • Take 0.5mL before church on Sunday for arthritis pain that won’t interfere with focus
  • Use 1mL at night (decarbed for sleep, raw for inflammation)
  • Keep in your truck for breakthrough pain after a long day on the job

RSO Vape Cartridge ($49.99)

• 1g cartridge with 900mg+ cannabinoids
• Onset: 1-2 minutes (fastest relief available)
• Duration: 2-4 hours
• Best for: Acute situations, portability, discretion
• Dade County use cases:
  • PTSD flashback at the grocery store in Trenton—two puffs for immediate calm
  • Sudden nausea during chemo treatment at Tanner Medical Center—vape in the parking lot before driving home
  • Panic attack while hiking Cloudland Canyon—instant relief without waiting

Both use the same seven-terpene profile—the difference is speed and duration, not quality.

How Dade County Residents Should Dose

Start low, go slow. That’s the mantra for our mountain communities where everyone’s physiology is different.

For chronic pain (fibromyalgia, arthritis, old injuries):

• Daytime: 0.3-0.5mL raw oil sublingual for anti-inflammatory action without impairment
• Nighttime: 0.5-1.0mL decarbed oil before bed for full-body relief plus sleep support
• Breakthrough: 2-3 vape puffs as needed

For chemotherapy side effects:

• Before treatment: 1mL sublingual 1 hour prior to reduce nausea
• During acute nausea: Vape for immediate relief
• After treatment: 0.5mL every 6 hours as needed
• Sleep: 2mL at night delivers 50mg CBN (the dosage level studied in recent research)

For sleep disorders:

• Before bed: 1-2mL sublingual (25-50mg CBN)
• If you wake at 3am: A few vape puffs to fall back asleep

For anxiety/PTSD:

• Daytime: 0.3mL raw oil for functional calm
• Nighttime: 1mL for full-spectrum support

Important: Everyone’s different. Your weight, metabolism, what you had for breakfast at The Farmer’s Market Cafe—all affect response. Wait 2-3 hours before increasing dose.

Georgia Law: What Dade County Needs to Know

Let’s be crystal clear about legality because nobody here wants legal trouble.

Our RSO is 100% Farm Bill compliant. Under the 2018 Agricultural Improvement Act and Georgia House Bill 213, hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC are legal. Our entire 30mL bottle contains only 90mg delta-9 THC—that’s 3mg per mL, well under the limit.

You do NOT need a Georgia medical marijuana card. Our product isn’t part of the state’s restrictive Low THC Oil Registry program. Anyone 21+ can legally purchase and possess it in Dade County.

The THCa distinction matters. THCa is non-psychoactive. When you buy our product, it’s legally hemp. If you choose to heat it at home (260°F for 45-60 minutes), you convert THCa to delta-9 THC—creating a product with approximately 1,405mg total delta-9 THC, comparable to traditional marijuana. This conversion is legal under federal law because it occurs after purchase in your private residence.

Drug testing warning: If you’re subject to workplace testing (many of our neighbors work at Shaw Industries or other manufacturing), raw THCa may not trigger a positive, but decarbed oil will absolutely cause you to fail a test for THC. Be smart. If your job depends on it, stick with raw oil or discuss with HR.

Shipping to Dade County: We ship via USPS Priority Mail (2-3 days) or FedEx/UPS Ground (3-5 days). All packages are discreet—no cannabis branding. Tracking provided. We cannot ship to P.O. boxes, so use your Trenton or Rising Fawn street address.

International note: If you’re a Dade County resident with family in Mexico or overseas, we can ship internationally to countries where hemp products are legal. Customer accepts all customs risk.

Why We Give Away Our Formula

This might be the most important part for Dade County. We publish our complete formula because we remember where we came from. In McAllen, people died because they couldn’t access medicine. In Dade County, we know families who’ve gone bankrupt trying to afford cancer treatment.

If $129.99 for our sublingual oil or $49.99 for our vape cartridge isn’t in your budget, you can source individual cannabinoid distillates and make it yourself. The recipe is right here in this document. That’s our promise: we’ll sell you the best product we can make, but we’ll never gatekeep the knowledge.

Rick Simpson gave his oil away for free. We can’t do that at scale, but we can give away the knowledge. For a DIY-minded Dade County resident, that makes all the difference.

Our Media Record: Why Dade County Can Trust Us

Since 2019, ABC13 Houston—one of America’s top news stations—has featured us seven times. Not as paid advertising. As expert sources they sought out for unbiased reporting.

They came to us when Delta-8 became controversial. They featured our $35,000 product giveaway to encourage COVID vaccinations (coordinated with the city of Houston). They quoted us when President Biden announced marijuana pardons, in which Colin shared his own cannabis conviction history—putting a human face on policy.

What that means for Dade County: Major media doesn’t repeatedly feature companies that sell snake oil. They feature companies that tell the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable. When we say “I’m not trying to sell people snake oil,” we’ve been saying it on camera since 2019—and backing it up.

Our Community Commitment

OilWell isn’t based in Dade County. We’re in Houston. But our values align perfectly with what we know about Dade County life:

• We believe in self-reliance. That’s why we teach you to make it yourself.
• We believe in honesty. That’s why we tell you exactly what’s in every bottle.
• We believe in helping neighbors. That’s why we answer every email and take every phone call (832-416-2816).
• We believe in second chances. Colin’s own conviction history taught him that.

We also know Dade County has one of the highest veteran populations in Georgia. Our Asshole Peach product—favored by veterans for PTSD relief—was developed from Colin’s personal battle with PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction. The Peace Gummies that helped him quit Xanax cold turkey are available for anyone fighting that same fight.
