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

If you’re reading this from Oberlin, Norcatur, Jennings, or anywhere else across the rolling farmland of Decatur County, you already know something most people don’t: when you’re two hours from the nearest specialist and the local pharmacy’s idea of pain management is another opioid prescription, you learn to look beyond the conventional. You learn to ask hard questions. You learn that hope isn’t snake oil — it’s what you hold onto when the medical system runs out of answers.

We get it. We started OilWell Cannabis in Houston because we were tired of watching people suffer when the research said there were better options. But we didn’t start in a boardroom. We started in a backyard in McAllen, Texas, trying to save a paralyzed dog named Bentley. That was ten years ago. Today, we’ve shipped our RSO formulas to cancer patients in Germany, veterans with PTSD in Australia, and chronic pain sufferers in 47 states. Now we’re reaching out to Decatur County because we know there are people here — farmers with arthritis from decades of equipment work, caregivers watching loved ones waste from chemo, veterans who can’t sleep through the night — who need what we make. And they need it explained in a way that respects their intelligence, their skepticism, and their reality.

If you take nothing else from this guide, take this: We publish our complete formulas publicly — every milligram, every percentage, every cannabinoid. If you can’t afford $129.99 for our sublingual oil, you can source the ingredients yourself and make it. That’s not marketing. That’s our promise. We learned that from Rick Simpson himself, who gave his oil away for free. We’re here to evolve that promise into something safe, standardized, and legal enough to ship right to your door in Oberlin.

Who Rick Simpson Was — And Why His Story Still Matters in Kansas

Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor. He was a power engineer from Nova Scotia who got hurt on a job in 1997, took a fall from scaffolding, and ended up with a head injury that left him with ringing ears and dizziness that never quit. The doctors gave him pills that didn’t work and made him feel worse. When he asked about cannabis, his physician shut him down. Sound familiar? We hear that story from patients in rural Kansas all the time — the specialist in Hays or Denver who won’t even discuss options outside their prescription pad.

In 2003, Simpson found three bumps on his arm. His doctor said it was basal cell carcinoma. Simpson didn’t go for radiation. He put cannabis oil on the lesions, covered them with bandages, and waited. By his account, the bumps disappeared in four days. No biopsy, no independent verification, no clinical documentation. But that story — that personal testimony — launched a global movement.

Simpson started making oil in Maccan, Nova Scotia, using naphtha or isopropyl alcohol as solvent, running it through a rice cooker, and putting the finished tar-like oil into syringes. He gave it away for free to cancer patients, chronic pain sufferers, people with diabetes, infections, glaucoma, arthritis, depression, insomnia — the same conditions we hear about from folks in Decatur County every week. In 2005, he released Run From The Cure, a documentary that spread his story worldwide. The RCMP raided him twice. He was charged with cultivation, possession, trafficking. Eventually he left Canada for Europe, living in Croatia and the Netherlands, still making oil, still giving it away.

Here’s what Simpson got right: He put cannabinoids on the map as serious medicine when nobody else would. He taught people they could make their own medicine. He never patented anything. He never charged a dying patient.

Here’s what he couldn’t do: He couldn’t standardize his product. Every batch was different. He couldn’t test for contaminants. Naphtha leaves residues. He couldn’t control dosing — his “grain of rice” method was the best he could do with crude oil. And he couldn’t ship it legally anywhere — it was Schedule I, and getting caught meant prison.

For Decatur County residents, the most important part of Simpson’s legacy is this: He proved that desperate people will find a way to get this medicine, even when the law says no. When the nearest legal dispensary is 300 miles away in Denver, when Kansas still hasn’t passed a medical program, when you can’t afford to drive to Missouri for a card — you understand why Simpson’s DIY ethos resonated. But you also understand why we had to build something better.

The Traditional RSO Protocol — And Why We Don’t Recommend It for Kansas Patients

Simpson’s famous protocol was simple on paper: 60 grams of oil in 90 days. Start with a dose half the size of a grain of rice, three times a day. Double it every four days. By week five, you’re taking a full gram daily — 600 to 900 milligrams of delta-9 THC, every single day.

If you’re in Decatur County, here’s why that matters: That protocol was designed around crude, unstandardized oil. The THC content varied wildly. The solvent residues could be toxic. And 900 mg of THC per day? That’s not medicine — that’s a guaranteed trip to the emergency room for anyone who isn’t already a heavy cannabis user. In a rural setting where the nearest hospital is Oberlin Hospital with limited capacity, that’s not a risk worth taking.

We know people in Kansas who’ve tried the Simpson protocol. Some ordered black-market oil from who-knows-where. Some tried making it themselves with Everclear in their garage. One farmer near Jennings nearly burned his barn down trying to evaporate solvent over a propane burner. Another got a product that tested at 45% THC — half what Simpson’s protocol assumes — and wondered why it “wasn’t working.”

The protocol also ignored what we now know about cannabinoid synergy. Simpson used one strain. We use seven cannabinoids. He destroyed all terpenes with heat. We preserve live terpenes at 5%. He gave you no choice about psychoactivity. We give you three: raw, decarbed, or vape.

OilWell Cannabis: Built From the Ground Up

From the Border to the Heartland

Colin Valencia grew up in McAllen, Texas, right across the river from Reynosa, Mexico — one of the most dangerous border regions in North America. By sixteen, he’d seen friends killed and imprisoned. He’d learned to hustle, to survive, to read people. He left home at sixteen and never looked back.

That background matters for Decatur County because you know what it means to live in a hard place. You know what it means when the system doesn’t work for you. You know what it means to find your own solutions. Colin didn’t come from privilege. He came from the same hard reality that teaches you to be self-reliant.

He could have gone darker. He didn’t. He stuck with cannabis — not because it was easy, but because he saw it help people when nothing else would. He learned the plant inside and out. Later, he became a software engineer and did custom development for Baylor College of Medicine. That’s the combination that makes OilWell different: deep plant knowledge plus medical-grade technical precision.

Bentley: The Dog Who Started Everything

In 2013, Colin’s dog Bentley got sick. The vet said he was paralyzed, in pain, and should be euthanized. The pain meds would destroy his organs. It was the same story so many Kansas families hear when their animal — their working partner, their family member — gets old and sick.

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

That question changed everything. Colin made Bentley a CBD golden paste — turmeric, coconut oil, black pepper, CBD oil. He published the recipe online so anyone could make it. Dogs don’t respond to placebo. Bentley got up. He walked. He brought Colin his ball. He lived ten more years, dying naturally at age twenty.

During those ten years, Colin developed formulas for every condition Bentley faced: neurodegeneration (CBG for brain protection), dementia (CBC for neurogenesis), glaucoma (THC for eye pressure), arthritis (multi-pathway inflammation control). Single cannabinoids weren’t enough. Bentley’s life depended on precision, on synergy, on getting the ratios exactly right.

If you’re in Decatur County with a working dog — a cattle dog, a hunting dog, a border collie — you know how much that animal means. You know what you’d do to keep them working, to keep them comfortable. Bentley taught Colin that cannabinoid medicine isn’t about getting high. It’s about function. It’s about quality of life.

Colin’s Own Battle: PTSD and Benzo Addiction

Colin also knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He struggled with PTSD and Xanax addiction. When he decided to quit, he did it cold turkey — one of the most dangerous ways to come off benzos — using the same cannabinoid knowledge that kept Bentley alive. He created Peace Gummies during midnight experiments while fighting through withdrawal. He still uses the vape form for insomnia and severe PTSD.

This isn’t theory. This is survival. This is what we mean when we say our products are “evidence-informed.” Colin lived the evidence. He tested it on himself because he had to. He wouldn’t sell anything he wouldn’t take himself.

ABC13: Houston’s #1 News Source, Seven Times

Between 2019 and 2023, ABC13 Houston featured Colin and OilWell in seven separate news segments. Not one of those features was paid. They were editorial decisions by journalists who needed an expert they could trust. When Delta-8 became legal overnight, they called Colin. When the state banned it months later, they called Colin again. When President Biden pardoned federal cannabis convictions, they came to OilWell because Colin has a personal conviction history — he’s lived the criminal justice system’s failures.

Five different reporters, four years, every major cannabis story in Texas. That’s not PR. That’s credibility you can’t buy.

For Decatur County residents, this matters because you’re skeptical. You should be. You’ve seen snake oil salesmen at the state fair. You’ve heard promises that never panned out. But when a major-market TV station returns to the same source seven times, that’s verification. That’s someone who tells the truth even when it’s uncomfortable — like when Colin looked at the camera and said, “Maybe you want to get high,” while explaining why people buy Delta-8.

The OilWell RSO Philosophy: Four Pillars for Kansas

1. Accessibility Over Gatekeeping

In Kansas, you can’t walk into a dispensary. You can’t get a medical card. There is no medical marijuana program. That leaves you with three bad options: drive to Colorado (6+ hours), order from who-knows-where online, or break the law.

We built a fourth option: Farm Bill-compliant RSO that ships directly to your door in Decatur County.

You don’t need a doctor’s permission. You don’t need to prove you have cancer or PTSD. You just need to be 21. We ship to Oberlin, to Jennings, to Norcatur, to every corner of the county. The product arrives in discreet packaging. The COA is included. It’s legal hemp under federal law and Kansas statute.

2. Patient-Controlled Potency

Traditional RSO is always psychoactive. You take it, you’re impaired. That doesn’t work if you’re running a combine during harvest, driving a school bus route, or need to stay sharp for your grandkids.

Our sublingual oil gives you three choices:

• Raw (no heat): All 1,500mg of THCa stays non-psychoactive. You get anti-inflammatory benefits, neuroprotection, zero high. Perfect for daytime use when you need to work.

• Fully activated (home decarb): Heat at 260°F for 45 minutes. The THCa converts to ~1,315mg of delta-9 THC. Combined with the existing 90mg, you get ~1,405mg delta-9 THC total. That’s full-potency, traditional RSO strength — legally, because you activated it after purchase.

• Vape (instant): The cartridge vaporizes at 400-450°F, converting THCa to THC with each puff. Onset in 1-2 minutes for breakthrough pain, panic, or nausea.

You decide. Not us. Not the government. You. That’s what patient control means.

3. Open-Source Formulas

We publish our complete formulas. Not “proprietary blends.” Not “secret recipes.” Every milligram. Every percentage.

Why? Because Rick Simpson gave his oil away for free. Because Bentley’s golden paste recipe is free online. Because if you can’t afford $129.99, you deserve to know what you’re missing.

If you’re in Decatur County on a fixed income — Social Security, disability, farming pension — that matters. You can source distillates yourself. You can make the oil in your kitchen. It won’t be as precise, as clean, or as tested as ours, but you’ll have the knowledge. That’s power.

4. Evidence-Informed, Not Evidence-Overstated

We’re not going to tell you RSO cures cancer. We’re not going to tell you CBN is a proven sleep aid. We’re going to show you the research — all 29 peer-reviewed citations in the GENERAL KNOWLEDGE section — and let you decide.

What the evidence actually says:

• CBD: Strongest evidence for rare epilepsies, promising for anxiety and pain, but human trials are still limited.
• Delta-9 THC: Best evidence for chemo nausea, HIV appetite loss, some MS symptoms. Real risks at high doses.
• Delta-8 THC: Similar to delta-9 but less potent, less studied, more manufacturing concerns.
• THCa: Non-psychoactive precursor, converts to THC with heat. Anti-inflammatory potential but limited human data.
• CBG, CBN, CBC: Mechanistically interesting, clinically immature.
• Terpenes: Plausible bioactivity, but human proof is limited. Caryophyllene directly activates CB2 receptors, which is unique.

For a Kansas audience, this is critical. You don’t trust hype. You trust data. You want to see the study. We’ll show it to you.

Farm Bill Compliance: Why This Is Legal to Ship to Oberlin

The 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp and hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight. Our sublingual oil contains 90mg of delta-9 THC in a 30mL bottle — 3mg/mL. That’s well under 0.3%.

THCa is the key. It’s not delta-9 THC. It’s the acidic precursor. It’s non-psychoactive. It’s Farm Bill compliant at sale. When you heat it at home, it converts. That’s your decision, in your kitchen, on your property. That’s private, and it’s legal.

For Kansas specifically: The state has no hemp-derived product restrictions beyond federal law. Our products are legal to purchase, possess, and use in Decatur County. We ship with full COAs, receipts, and legal documentation. If customs in Kansas has questions, we provide the paperwork.

Important: If you choose to decarboxylate the THCa into delta-9 THC, you are responsible for understanding local laws regarding possession of activated THC products. The product is legal when it arrives. What you do with it is your responsibility.

The Complete RSO Sublingual Oil Formula

We don’t hide anything. Here’s exactly what’s in the bottle:

• Live Terpenes: 5% (limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene, linalool, humulene, terpinolene)
• Carrier: Organic MCT oil
• Bottle: 30mL with graduated dropper (0.1mL increments)
• Concentration: 553mg/mL
• Price: $129.99

What this means for Decatur County:

• CBD (4,500mg): For anxiety, inflammation, seizure risk. If you have a child with epilepsy and can’t get Epidiolex, this is the same molecule.
• CBG (3,000mg): For neurodegeneration, eye pressure, gut inflammation. Your father with glaucoma? This works on the same receptors as his drops.
• Delta-8 THC (6,000mg): For nausea, appetite, pain. Less psychoactive than delta-9, but still effective. Good for chemo patients who need to eat.
• THCa (1,500mg): The magic ingredient. Use it raw for daytime anti-inflammatory without impairment. Decarb it for full THC potency.
• Delta-9 THC (90mg): Minimal amount, keeps product Farm Bill compliant. After decarb, this becomes ~1,405mg total THC.
• CBN (750mg): Marketed for sleep. Human evidence is weak, but anecdotally effective at 25-50mg doses. Two mL gives you 50mg.
• CBC (750mg): For neurogenesis, skin health, gut motility. Emerging research, promising.

Total value: 16,590mg of cannabinoids for $129.99. That’s $0.0078 per milligram. For comparison, a dispensary in Denver charges $0.05-0.10 per mg. You’re getting pharmaceutical-grade precision at a fraction of the cost.

The RSO Vape Cartridge Formula

For breakthrough pain, panic attacks, or acute nausea — when you need relief in 90 seconds, not 90 minutes.

• Live Terpenes: 5%+
• Size: 1 Gram cartridge
• Compatibility: 510-thread universal battery
• Price: $49.99

When to use this in Decatur County:

• Harvest season: You’re combining wheat, your back seizes up, you can’t stop the machine. Three puffs, two minutes, you can finish the field.
• Chemo day: You’re driving to Hays for treatment, nausea hits on US-36. Pull over, vape, keep going.
• PTSD flashback: You’re at the VFW in Oberlin, a trigger hits. Discreet vape, re-center, stay at the event.

The vape auto-decarbs THCa. Every puff is instantly activated. No waiting. No planning. Just relief.

Terpene Profile: The Flavor and Function

Both formulas contain the same seven live terpenes at 5%:

• Limonene: Citrus-bright, mood-lifting, anti-anxiety.
• Myrcene: Earthy, relaxing, enhances THC uptake.
• Caryophyllene: Pepper/spice, directly activates CB2 receptors for inflammation.
• Pinene: Forest-fresh, mental clarity, bronchodilator.
• Linalool: Floral, lavender, calming, anti-convulsant.
• Humulene: Woody, earthy, anti-inflammatory, appetite suppressant.
• Terpinolene: Piney/fruity, uplifting, antioxidant.

For Kansas: These aren’t just fancy smells. Caryophyllene is the same compound in black pepper that makes you sneeze — it’s a direct CB2 agonist, same receptor system as your endocannabinoids. Pinene is what makes pine forests smell fresh — it’s a bronchodilator, opens your airways. If you have COPD from decades of dust and smoke, that matters.

How to Use RSO in Decatur County: Condition-Specific Guidance

These are not prescriptions. This is educational context based on published research. Talk to your doctor. These products are not FDA-approved to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Chemotherapy Support

If you’re driving to Hays Medical Center or all the way to Denver for chemo, you need something for nausea that works better than Zofran.

• Pre-treatment: 0.5mL sublingual (277mg cannabinoids) one hour before infusion. Delta-8 THC [9] and delta-9 THC [13] have documented antiemetic effects.
• Breakthrough nausea: 2-3 vape puffs. Onset in 90 seconds. Get through the wave without pulling over.
• Post-treatment: 0.5mL every 6 hours as needed. CBD helps with anxiety [3], CBN helps with sleep [16][17].
• Sleep: Night of treatment, take 1-2mL before bed. At 2mL, you’re getting 50mg CBN — the dosage studied in 2024 sleep literature.

Chronic Pain (Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Neuropathy)

Farming is hard on the body. Decades on a tractor, lifting feed sacks, repairing fences — it adds up. Opioids make you constipated and foggy. NSAIDs kill your kidneys.

• Daytime functional relief: 0.3mL raw sublingual (166mg cannabinoids). No impairment. THCa inhibits COX-2 [12], same pathway as ibuprofen. Caryophyllene activates CB2 [24], peripheral anti-inflammatory.
• Nighttime: 0.5-1mL decarbed sublingual. The delta-8 and converted delta-9 hit pain receptors directly [13]. CBN helps you stay asleep [16].
• Breakthrough: Vape as needed. Fast onset for when the pain spikes unexpectedly.

Sleep Disorders

Rural Kansas is quiet, but loneliness and anxiety keep a lot of folks awake. Veterans, widows, caretakers.

• Before bed: 1-2mL sublingual. Start with 1mL (25mg CBN). If that doesn’t work, go to 2mL (50mg CBN). The 2024 review [17] suggests cannabis can help sleep onset, but tolerance builds. Use lowest effective dose.
• Vape alternative: If you wake at 2 AM and can’t get back to sleep, 1-2 puffs. Won’t leave you groggy in the morning like a pill.

Anxiety and PTSD

Veterans in Decatur County served in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan. PTSD is real. Benzo addiction is real.

• Daytime: 0.3mL raw sublingual. CBD [3] and CBG [7][8] have anxiolytic mechanisms without sedation. Safe to drive.
• Acute panic: Vape. The pinene helps with mental clarity [25], the linalool calms [26].
• Night: 1mL decarbed. Full entourage effect for nightmares and hypervigilance.
