Rick Simpson Oil in Delaware: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis
We know you’re here because you’re looking for honest answers about Rick Simpson Oil in Delaware. Maybe you’re a cancer patient at ChristianaCare searching for options beyond chemotherapy’s side effects. Maybe you’re a veteran in Dover managing PTSD and chronic pain from your service. Maybe you’re in Wilmington, trying to help a parent with dementia sleep through the night, or you’re in Rehoboth Beach dealing with arthritis that makes walking the boardwalk unbearable. Maybe you’re just curious, trying to understand what “RSO” means before you walk into a dispensary in Newark or order online from your home in Bear.
Wherever you are in Delaware — from the Riverfront to the beaches, from the corporate corridors near the Dupont Highway to the quiet neighborhoods of Hockessin — you’ve probably heard the term “RSO.” Maybe a friend mentioned it in a cancer support group at the Helen F. Graham Cancer Center. Maybe you read about it in a Delaware cannabis forum. Maybe your oncologist in Lewes reluctantly acknowledged patients are using it. What you haven’t found is straight talk: what RSO actually is, what it can and cannot do, and whether it’s even legal to get it delivered to your door in the First State.
We’re OilWell Cannabis, and we’ve spent the last five years building the most transparent, evidence-grounded RSO formulas available anywhere. We’re based in Houston, Texas, but we ship nationwide — and yes, that includes every city, town, and zip code in Delaware. More importantly, we publish our complete formulas publicly, run a same-day delivery service in the world’s largest medical complex, and have been featured seven times by ABC13 Houston for our approach to cannabis education. We don’t hide behind proprietary blends. We don’t make cure claims. We give you the same information we’d give our own families — because for us, this started with family.
This guide is for Delaware. It’s written for the person in Delaware County who needs to know if this is legal. It’s for the caregiver in Sussex County trying to dose responsibly. It’s for the patient in Kent County who wants to understand the science before they try anything. And it’s for everyone who’s tired of cannabis content that reads like a sales pitch instead of a medical briefing.
Let’s start with the truth about Rick Simpson.
Who Rick Simpson Was — And Why His Story Still Matters in Delaware
Rick Simpson was born in 1949 in Amherst, Nova Scotia, Canada. He wasn’t a doctor. He wasn’t a scientist. He was a power engineer and maintenance worker — a blue-collar tradesman whose life changed in 1997 when he fell from scaffolding at a hospital in Moncton, New Brunswick. The head injury left him with tinnitus, dizziness, and post-concussion symptoms that prescription medications couldn’t fix. Cannabis gave him relief his doctors wouldn’t acknowledge. When he asked his physician to support cannabis, the doctor refused.
In 2003, Simpson noticed three bumps on his arm. A doctor diagnosed basal cell carcinoma. Simpson applied concentrated cannabis oil, covered the lesions with bandages, and claimed they disappeared in four days. No biopsy confirmed this. No independent medical evaluation documented it. But that experience became the origin story of Rick Simpson Oil.
Here’s what we want every Delaware reader to understand: Simpson’s story is personal testimony, not medical evidence. It’s historically significant because it sparked a global movement, but it is not proof that RSO cures skin cancer or any other cancer. Delaware’s medical community — from Johns Hopkins-affiliated ChristianaCare to the veteran clinics near Dover — operates on evidence-based medicine. We respect that standard, and we apply it to everything we say about our formulas.
Simpson never conducted a clinical trial. He never published peer-reviewed research. He gave his oil away for free in Maccan, Nova Scotia, and later in Europe after RCMP raids forced him to leave Canada. He believed pharmaceutical companies were suppressing a cure. He wasn’t wrong that cannabinoids deserved research, but his certainty exceeded what the science could support then — and still does today.
So why tell his story? Because if you’re in Delaware researching RSO, you’ve probably heard it. You’ve seen Run From The Cure, the 2005 documentary that made RSO global. You’ve read forums where patients share testimonials. You’ve wondered if there’s something to it. Our job isn’t to dismiss those stories. Our job is to give you the scientific context to evaluate them honestly.
Traditional RSO vs. What We Make for Delaware
Traditional Rick Simpson Oil was crude, dangerous, and unpredictable. It was made by soaking cannabis in naphtha (lighter fluid) or isopropyl alcohol in a bucket, filtering it through cheesecloth, and evaporating the solvent in a rice cooker. The result was a thick, black, tar-like oil that smelled like solvent residue and contained 60-90% delta-9 THC — and nothing else reliably. No lab testing. No standardization. No terpenes. Every batch was different.
For Delaware readers, this matters because:
- If you’re buying from an unregulated source in Delaware, this might still be what you’re getting
- The solvent risk is real — naphtha contains benzene and other carcinogens
- The THC dose was 600-900mg per day at peak protocol, far beyond anything studied safely
- No THCa was preserved, meaning no option for non-psychoactive use
We don’t make that. Our RSO is formulated from individual cannabinoid distillates and isolates, blended in organic MCT oil, third-party lab tested for potency, pesticides, heavy metals, residual solvents, and microbes. We publish every milligram. We preserve THCa as a separate ingredient so you control the psychoactivity. We include seven cannabinoids and seven terpenes at specific ratios because the research suggests synergy, even if it’s not yet proven in humans.
The OilWell Story: From a Paralyzed Dog to Delaware Patients
Our company didn’t start in a boardroom. It started with Bentley.
Bentley was Colin Valencia’s dog — family, not property. When Bentley became paralyzed and vets recommended euthanasia, Colin refused. 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 grew up in McAllen, Texas, right across from Reynosa, Mexico — one of the most dangerous border regions in North America. He’d seen friends killed, imprisoned, lost to violence. He’d left home at sixteen. He’d worked in cannabis underground before legalization, then transitioned to legitimate business. He’d done custom software development for Baylor College of Medicine. He knew the plant, and he knew precision.
He made Bentley CBD golden paste. Bentley got up. He walked. He lived ten more years, dying naturally at age twenty. During those years, Colin developed formulas for neurodegeneration (CBG neuroprotection), dementia (CBC neurogenesis), glaucoma (THC CB1 agonism), and arthritis (multi-pathway anti-inflammation). He learned that single cannabinoids weren’t enough — Bentley’s aging body needed CBD, CBG, THCa, and beta-caryophyllene working through different receptor systems simultaneously.
Delaware readers, this is why our formula has seven cannabinoids: because a real patient needed them, not because a marketing team thought it sounded impressive.
Colin also knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He quit Xanax cold turkey using cannabinoids. He created Peace Gummies during midnight experiments while fighting benzo withdrawal. He uses the vape form for his PTSD and insomnia. This isn’t theoretical. It’s lived experience — the same experience many Delaware veterans, trauma survivors, and chronic pain patients know intimately.
What Makes Our RSO Legal in Delaware
Delaware legalized recreational cannabis in 2023, but retail sales haven’t started yet. Medical cannabis has been legal since 2011, but the program is limited. So how can we ship RSO to Delaware legally?
The answer is the 2018 Farm Bill. Our sublingual oil contains only 90mg of delta-9 THC in the entire 30mL bottle — 3mg per mL, well under the 0.3% federal limit. All cannabinoids are hemp-derived. The product is Farm Bill compliant at the point of sale, which makes it legal to ship to Delaware and most other states.
The THCa legal framework is what makes this revolutionary for Delaware residents. Our formula includes 1,500mg of THCa — the acidic, non-psychoactive precursor to THC. THCa is not delta-9 THC. It’s legal. But when you heat it at 260°F for 45-60 minutes, it converts to approximately 1,315mg of delta-9 THC. Combined with the 90mg already present, you get about 1,405mg of total delta-9 THC — making the product as potent as traditional illegal RSO, but 100% legally obtained.
You control the activation:
- Raw (no heat): 1,500mg THCa stays non-psychoactive. Use it daytime for anti-inflammatory benefits without impairment. Perfect for Delaware professionals, parents, or anyone who needs to drive, work, or stay clear-headed.
- Decarboxylated (home heat): Activate the THCa into THC for full psychoactive potency. Use it nighttime for sleep, severe pain, or when you want the traditional RSO experience.
- Vape (instant heat): Our vape cartridge auto-decarbs at 400-450°F. Every puff delivers freshly activated cannabinoids with 1-2 minute onset.
This is the most significant legal cannabis access innovation in history. You can legally buy, possess, and transport a product in Delaware that becomes as potent as you need it to be — entirely under your control.

The Evidence: What We Know vs. What We Don’t
We’re not here to hype. We’re here to educate Delaware residents with the same standards we’d use for Houston’s Texas Medical Center. Here’s the honest evidence breakdown:
CBD: Strongest evidence in this formula. Works for rare epilepsies (Epidiolex is FDA-approved). Modest evidence for chronic pain, anxiety, and sleep. Safety concerns include liver enzyme elevation and drug interactions — important if you’re on medications at ChristianaCare or Bayhealth.
CBG: Promising but early. Preclinical studies suggest neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial effects. Human evidence is sparse. We include it because Bentley’s neurodegeneration required it, not because it’s proven.
Delta-8 THC: Psychoactive, real pharmacologic activity, but less potent than delta-9. Human safety data is incomplete. We include it at 6,000mg because it provides therapeutic effects with a different side-effect profile than delta-9.
Delta-9 THC: Strongest psychoactive cannabinoid evidence. Works for chemo nausea, appetite, some pain. Risks include impairment, anxiety, psychosis at high doses, and cannabis use disorder. Our total delta-9 exposure after decarb is high — respect the dose.
THCa: Non-psychoactive raw. Anti-inflammatory via COX-2 inhibition. Neuroprotective via PPARγ. Converts to delta-9 when heated. Delaware residents control this conversion.
CBN: Marketed for sleep, but clinical evidence is weak. No strong trials validate sleep claims. We include it at 750mg because emerging research suggests potential, but we won’t overstate it.
CBC: Preclinical anti-inflammatory, possible neurogenesis. Human evidence minimal. Another minor cannabinoid we’re watching closely.
Terpenes: Limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene, linalool, humulene, terpinolene. Preclinical activity is plausible. Human entourage effects are not proven. They make the product smell and taste better, and they might contribute therapeutically.
Bottom line for Delaware: No cannabinoid or terpene in this formula has been proven to cure cancer in humans. No cannabis product has. The preclinical literature is interesting but not definitive. If you’re facing cancer, use this as a complementary option alongside oncology care, not a replacement.
How Delaware Residents Use Our RSO
For chemotherapy-related nausea (ChristianaCare, Bayhealth, TidalHealth patients):
- Pre-chemo: 0.5-1.0mL sublingual 1 hour before treatment
- Breakthrough nausea: 2-3 vape puffs (1-2 minute relief)
- Post-chemo: 0.5mL every 6 hours as needed
- Sleep: 1-2mL before bed (delivers 25-50mg CBN)
For chronic pain (fibromyalgia, arthritis, neuropathy common in Delaware’s aging population):
- Daytime: 0.3-0.5mL raw sublingual (no impairment)
- Nighttime: 0.5-1.0mL decarbed sublingual
- Breakthrough: Vape as needed
For sleep disorders (common in Delaware’s shift workers and retirees):
- 1-2mL sublingual before bed delivers clinical CBN doses
For anxiety and PTSD (especially Delaware veterans):
- Daytime functional: 0.3mL raw sublingual
- Nighttime: 1.0mL full profile
Titration: Start with 0.25-0.5mL. Wait 2-3 hours. Increase gradually. Your Delaware metabolism, weight, and tolerance matter.
Delivery to Delaware: How It Works
We ship to every Delaware address via USPS Priority Mail (2-3 business days), FedEx, or UPS Ground (3-5 days). All packages are discreet — no cannabis branding visible. Tracking is provided. Temperature-stable packaging ensures product integrity during Delaware summers.
International shipping note: Delaware residents ordering from outside the U.S. (e.g., Delaware citizens living abroad) can receive shipments with full COA documentation, but you accept customs and legal responsibility.
Important for Delaware: While Delaware legalized recreational cannabis possession in 2023, retail sales are not yet operational. Our Farm Bill-compliant product fills that gap legally. You can possess it, use it, and transport it within Delaware without a medical card.
Why Delaware Trusts Our Media Record
ABC13 Houston — the #1 news source in America’s fourth-largest city — featured us seven times from 2019-2023. Five different reporters came to us because we tell the truth.
September 2019: “I’m not trying to sell people snake oil. I’m not trying to sell people hope, but there’s enough research out there that people just need to know and try and have the best possible version to base their opinions off of to give it a fair shot as to whether it’s right or wrong for them.”
May 2021: When asked why someone would smoke Delta-8, Colin said: “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 why they kept coming back.
August 2021: We gave away $35,000 in product to encourage COVID vaccination in Houston’s hardest-hit communities. No political agenda — just public health.
October 2021: When Texas banned Delta-8 overnight, we proactively removed all products and warned other operators they were now shipping Schedule I narcotics. We absorbed the loss to protect the industry.
October 2022: Colin revealed his personal marijuana conviction history when Biden announced federal pardons. “I would love to see people not get hurt for this anymore.” Delaware residents with conviction records know this struggle.
April 2023: “Right now is actually a pretty — like Renaissance — pretty important time that should be enjoyed now.” The industry is evolving, and we’re helping lead it.
This isn’t paid promotion. It’s earned credibility. When Delaware readers see our ABC13 coverage, they know we’re not hiding behind a website. We’ve been vetted by journalists for four years.

Buyer responsibility: Verify Delaware laws before ordering. We provide full documentation, but you accept legal responsibility for possession and use. Void where prohibited.
The Open-Source Promise for Delaware
We publish our formulas because Rick Simpson gave his oil away for free. Because Bentley’s life depended on accessible medicine. Because Colin knows what it’s like to be shut out by cost and stigma.

Delaware deserves that level of transparency.
Final Word for Delaware
Delaware is small, but its people face the same big health challenges as anywhere else: cancer, chronic pain, PTSD, insomnia, anxiety. The difference is Delaware’s medical cannabis program is limited, and recreational sales are still pending. That leaves patients in limbo.
Our RSO fills that gap legally, safely, and transparently. We ship to every Delaware address. We publish our formulas. We tell you what the science actually says. We’ve been vetted by mainstream media. We’ve lived the consequences of prohibition. And we’ve built a product that puts control in your hands.
Whether you’re in Wilmington, Dover, Newark, Middletown, Smyrna, Milford, Georgetown, or any of Delaware’s unincorporated communities — you have access to the same clinical-strength RSO that Houston’s Texas Medical Center patients use.
Start low. Go slow. Consult your doctor. And know that every dollar you spend with us supports a company that gives away formulas, warns competitors about legal dangers, and believes cannabis education should be free.
