Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Delaware County: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis

Living in Delaware County means you understand resilience. Whether you’re dealing with the lingering industrial impacts in Muncie, supporting a loved one at IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital, or navigating the daily challenges of life between Indianapolis and the Ohio border, you know that real solutions don’t come wrapped in shiny marketing—they come from honest information and products built with intent.

That’s why we’re reaching out to you directly here in Delaware County. We’re OilWell Cannabis, a Houston-based company founded not in a boardroom, but in a moment of desperation when a paralyzed dog named Bentley needed help that veterinary medicine couldn’t provide. What started as a mission to save one life became a commitment to making clinical-strength cannabinoid medicine accessible to everyone who needs it—whether you’re in Houston’s Texas Medical Center or here in Delaware County, Indiana.

Who Was Rick Simpson, and What Does RSO Actually Mean?

Rick Simpson was a power engineer from Nova Scotia who watched the medical system fail him firsthand. After a workplace injury in 1997 left him with persistent tinnitus and dizziness that prescription medications only made worse, he discovered cannabis provided relief his doctors refused to acknowledge. When he asked his physician to support cannabis treatment, the answer was no. That refusal—echoed in doctors’ offices across Delaware County every day—set him on a path that would change cannabis history.

The pivotal moment came in 2003, when Simpson claimed three bumps on his arm diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma disappeared after he applied concentrated cannabis oil and covered them with bandages for four days. Important context: No independent medical verification, biopsy confirmation, or clinical follow-up has ever been documented. Simpson’s account is personal testimony, not medical evidence—but it became the catalyst for a global movement.

Simpson began producing oil in Maccan, Nova Scotia, and gave it away for free to cancer patients and others facing conditions like chronic pain, diabetes, glaucoma, arthritis, depression, and insomnia. His 2005 documentary Run From The Cure introduced the world to what we now call Rick Simpson Oil. But traditional RSO had serious problems: it used toxic naphtha or isopropyl alcohol solvents, destroyed all terpenes through high heat, had no lab testing or standardization, and delivered 600-900mg of delta-9 THC daily—doses far exceeding anything studied clinically.

The RCMP raided his property twice, and facing continued legal pressure, Simpson eventually left Canada for Europe. He published Phoenix Tears in 2012 and maintained that pharmaceutical companies were suppressing cannabis cures. While his advocacy opened doors for research, his cure claims exceeded what evidence supports. Encouraging patients to use RSO instead of proven cancer therapies can cause real harm through delayed treatment.

What this means for you in Delaware County: If you’ve encountered RSO through online forums, cancer support groups at the Cancer Services of Delaware County, or word-of-mouth in Muncie’s manufacturing communities, you deserve to know the full story—not the myth.

From Bentley’s Ball to Your Medicine Cabinet: How OilWell Was Born

Our founder Colin Valencia didn’t start in cannabis business—he started in McAllen, Texas, one of the most economically challenged border regions in America. By sixteen, he’d witnessed violence most people never imagine. Friends killed. Friends imprisoned. He chose cannabis over darker paths, but he learned the plant intimately while operating in the pre-legalization underground.

What transformed cannabis from a hustle to a mission was Bentley—a dog who was family. When veterinarians told Colin that Bentley’s paralysis meant euthanasia was the only humane option, that the pain medications would destroy his organs, Colin refused to accept it. A rescue worker named Jessica asked the question that changed everything: “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and you’ve never heard of CBD?”

Colin learned to create CBD golden paste. Bentley got up, walked across the room, and brought him his ball. From paralyzed to playing. Dogs don’t respond to placebo. Bentley lived ten more years, dying naturally at age twenty. During those years, Colin developed specialized formulas for every condition Bentley faced:

• Neurodegeneration → led to understanding CBG’s neuroprotective properties and THCa’s PPARγ agonism
• Dementia → led to CBC’s role in neurogenesis
• Glaucoma → led to THC’s CB1 agonism for intraocular pressure
• Crippling arthritis → led to multi-pathway anti-inflammatory approaches using CBD, CBG, THCa, and beta-caryophyllene

Single cannabinoids weren’t enough. Bentley’s evolving conditions required multi-cannabinoid synergy. That necessity—keeping a loved one alive—created the precision that defines our formulas today.

Colin also knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He broke free from Xanax addiction cold turkey using the same cannabinoid knowledge. Our Peace Gummies were born from midnight experiments during benzo withdrawal. He personally uses the vape form for insomnia and severe PTSD. This isn’t theoretical—he lived what you may be living right now in Delaware County.

The Science Behind Every Drop: What You’re Actually Getting

Our RSO isn’t traditional RSO. We’ve solved the problems Simpson’s method couldn’t. Here’s how our formula compares:

Why This Matters in Delaware County

If you’re dealing with chronic pain from factory work in Muncie, supporting a family member through chemo at Ball Memorial, or managing PTSD after military service at the Delaware County VA Clinic, you need products that work consistently and safely. Traditional RSO’s wildly variable potency and toxic solvents pose real risks. Our formula gives you pharmaceutical precision with the full entourage effect.

The Seven Cannabinoids: What Science Actually Says

We don’t hide behind vague “full-spectrum” language. Here’s exactly what’s in every bottle and what peer-reviewed research says:

CBD (4,500mg)

• Strongest human evidence in our formula—especially for seizure disorders
• 2024 meta-analysis of 316 participants showed significant anxiolytic effects, though authors stress more trials needed
• Pain research is promising but heterogeneous; quality and consistency still limiting confidence
• 2023 review found liver enzyme elevation signal—especially important for concentrated oral products
• For Delaware County: If you’re exploring alternatives to opioids for chronic pain after workplace injuries common in our manufacturing sector, CBD has the most developed safety profile

CBG (3,000mg)

• 2024 review described as “multifunctional” with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective properties—but mostly from non-cannabis literature
• 2021 review found alpha-2 adrenoceptor and 5-HT1A interactions—mechanistically interesting but not clinically established
• Commercial sales have moved ahead of data—claims often exceed science
• For Delaware County: We’re including it because Bentley’s neurodegeneration taught us its importance, but we’re honest about the evidence gaps

Delta-8 THC (6,000mg)

• 2022 review: similar pharmacokinetics to delta-9, but less potent due to weaker CB1 affinity
• 2023 scoping review: evidence dominated by animal studies and public health concerns; adverse consequences reported
• Manufacturing quality concerns: synthesis byproducts common
• For Delaware County: Real therapeutic potential but requires the same respect as delta-9—this is not a “lite” cannabinoid

THCa (1,500mg)

• Non-psychoactive precursor preserved intentionally
• In vitro and rodent studies suggest anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, antineoplastic potential—but not human-established
• Critical: Converts to ~1,315mg delta-9 THC when heated at 260°F for 45-60 minutes
• For Delaware County: This is your legal pathway to high-potency medicine. Raw for daytime function, decarbed for full therapeutic strength—your choice, your control

Delta-9 THC (90mg)

• Strongest human evidence among psychoactive cannabinoids
• NCCIH supports use for chemo nausea, HIV/AIDS appetite, some MS/pain outcomes
• 2025 review of high-concentration THC: unfavorable associations with psychosis, schizophrenia, cannabis use disorder
• For Delaware County: We’ve reduced this dramatically from Simpson’s protocol (600-900mg daily) to minimize psychiatric risk while maintaining therapeutic benefit

CBN (750mg)

• Marketed heavily for sleep, but 2021 narrative review found NO clinical trials using validated sleep questionnaires or polysomnography
• 2024 updated sleep review: research still doesn’t match real-world use scale
• For Delaware County: We’re transparent—this is included based on emerging interest, not proven efficacy. At 750mg per bottle (25mg/mL), it’s at levels studied in recent literature

CBC (750mg)

• 2024 review: distinct pharmacodynamics, antinociceptive, antibacterial, anti-seizure potential—but overwhelmingly preclinical
• Over-the-counter products already sold despite little efficacy/safety evidence
• For Delaware County: Part of our multi-cannabinoid strategy born from Bentley’s complex needs, but we won’t overstate what science doesn’t yet support

The Seven Terpenes: More Than Aroma

Our live terpene profile at 5% isn’t just for smell—it’s for potential synergy:

• Limonene – Citrus-bright aroma; 2021 review described multifunctional activities but warned about oxidation products as allergens
• Myrcene – Earthy notes; anxiolytic and analgesic properties in preclinical studies but limited human proof
• Caryophyllene – Pepper/spice; selective CB2 agonist (unique among terpenes), strong anti-inflammatory preclinical evidence
• Pinene – Forest-fresh; memory and cognition hypotheses remain exploratory, not clinically proven
• Linalool – Lavender-floral; stress and mood applications plausible but human trials lacking
• Humulene – Woody/earthy; 2024 scoping review found cannabimimetic properties via CB1 and adenosine pathways—fascinating but early
• Terpinolene – Piney/fruity; least clinically characterized of our terpenes, mostly in vitro/animal data

For Delaware County residents: If you’re familiar with essential oils, aromatherapy, or the pine forests around Mounds State Park, these terpenes connect to scents you know. But we won’t claim they cure anything—the science is still emerging.

When to Choose Which Format

Legal Status in Delaware County: What You Need to Know

Let’s be direct about Indiana law, because transparency is our foundation.

Federal Framework (2018 Farm Bill):

• Hemp-derived products containing <0.3% delta-9 THC are legal
• Our sublingual oil contains only 90mg delta-9 THC in the entire 30mL bottle—well under the threshold
• All cannabinoids are hemp-derived, making our products Farm Bill compliant

Indiana State Law:

• Indiana has not legalized medical marijuana (no TCUP program like Texas)
• Delta-8 THC exists in a legal gray area—currently permitted under hemp laws but subject to change
• Our product is legal to purchase, possess, and use in Delaware County because it meets federal hemp standards
• We ship to Indiana addresses daily with full COAs and documentation

The THCa Distinction (Your Legal Advantage):
At purchase, our product contains only 90mg delta-9 THC. The 1,500mg THCa is non-psychoactive and legal. If you choose to decarboxylate at home, you’re converting it to ~1,315mg delta-9 THC—bringing total to ~1,405mg. This conversion happens post-purchase, at your discretion, in your private residence. This patient-controlled activation is the most significant legal cannabis access innovation in history, backed by chemistry, not loopholes.

Your Responsibility:

• Must be 21+ to purchase
• Do not operate vehicles or machinery while using psychoactive cannabinoids
• Consult healthcare provider before use, especially if taking medications (CBD has documented drug interactions)
• Buyer accepts all customs/legal responsibility for international orders
• Product not evaluated by FDA; not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease

• Colin personally uses the vape form for his PTSD—it’s not theoretical

Titration Principle (Start Low, Go Slow):
Begin with 0.25-0.5mL sublingual. Assess effects over 2-3 hours before increasing. Your response depends on weight, metabolism, tolerance, and medications. If you’re on blood thinners, anti-seizure meds, or other prescriptions common among Delaware County’s aging population, CBD interactions are possible—consult your doctor.

Why ABC13 Houston’s Recognition Matters to You in Delaware County

You might wonder why media coverage from Houston matters for someone in Albany or Gaston. Here’s why: ABC13 KTRK is the ABC affiliate in America’s fourth-largest city. Their editorial team repeatedly selected Colin as Houston’s primary cannabis industry expert across seven features from 2019-2023. That level of mainstream media validation is rare in cannabis—most companies can’t get a single network feature, let alone seven.

What ABC13 Documented:

• September 2019: CBD business boom; Colin’s foundational quote about not selling snake oil
• March 2021: Colin helping other entrepreneurs; “pain comes in a lot of different forms”
• May 2021: Delta-8 investigation; Colin’s honest “maybe you want to get high” exchange
• August 2021: $35,000 in product donated to encourage COVID vaccination
• October 2021: Colin proactively removing Delta-8 before enforcement, warning other operators
• October 2022: Personal revelation—Colin has a marijuana conviction history
• April 2023: “Renaissance” framing; hemp cultivation on camera

The Through-Line: These features show consistency, community action, personal stakes, and earned credibility. When you’re in Delaware County deciding who to trust with your health, this media record—verifiable on ABC13’s website—demonstrates that OilWell isn’t a fly-by-night internet brand. We’re a real company with real media accountability.
