Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Des Moines County, Iowa: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis
If you’re reading this from Burlington, Mediapolis, West Burlington, or anywhere across Des Moines County, you’re likely here because you’ve heard about Rick Simpson Oil and you’re looking for honest answers. Maybe you’re a cancer patient at Great River Health System considering options beyond conventional treatment. Maybe you’re a veteran in Danville struggling with PTSD and chronic pain after the pills stopped working. Maybe you’re a farmer outside Middletown who knows hemp as a crop and wonders about its therapeutic potential. Or maybe you’re just someone dealing with the daily reality of life along the Mississippi—aches that come from hard work, anxiety that creeps in during quiet moments, sleep that never seems deep enough.
We get it. Des Moines County is a place where people work hard, value straight talk, and don’t have time for hype. You deserve real information, not snake oil. That’s why we’re here—not to sell you hope, but to give you the best possible version of the truth so you can decide what’s right for you.
Who is Rick Simpson? Understanding the Origins of RSO
Rick Simpson was never a doctor, scientist, or medical researcher. He was a power engineer from Nova Scotia—a blue-collar tradesman who, like many folks in Des Moines County, believed in solving problems with his own hands when the system failed him. In 1997, Simpson suffered a serious head injury from a scaffolding fall at a hospital in Moncton. The conventional medications his doctors prescribed either didn’t help or made his tinnitus and post-concussion symptoms worse. When cannabis provided relief but his physician refused to consider it, Simpson took matters into his own hands .
What Simpson discovered—or more accurately, what he created—was a crude extraction method that produced a thick, nearly black cannabis oil. In 2003, he claimed that applying this oil to basal cell carcinoma lesions on his arm caused them to disappear in four days. No biopsy confirmed this. No oncologist documented it. But his personal testimony became the origin story of what we now call Rick Simpson Oil .
The Traditional RSO Protocol: What Simpson Recommended
Simpson’s 60-gram, 90-day protocol was designed for cancer patients, but he eventually recommended it for everything from diabetes to glaucoma. Here’s exactly what he prescribed:
Week 1: Start with a dose the size of half a grain of rice—about 10-15mg of oil—three times daily. That’s roughly 30-45mg per day total.
Weeks 2-5: Double the dose every four days until you reach approximately 1 gram (1,000mg) per day, divided into three doses.
Weeks 5-12: Maintain 1 gram per day until all 60 grams are consumed.
Simpson assumed patients would develop tolerance to the psychoactive effects within 3-4 weeks. He recommended nighttime dosing initially and warned against driving during the titration period .
Important Context: What Simpson Got Right—and What He Overstated
Before we go further, let’s be crystal clear about something that matters deeply to us here in Des Moines County: Rick Simpson’s claims are personal testimony, not medical evidence. He never conducted a clinical trial. He never published in a peer-reviewed journal. His evidence was anecdotal—powerful stories, but not science.
What the preclinical literature actually shows: In lab dishes and animal studies, THC and CBD can induce cancer cell death and slow tumor growth . That’s scientifically interesting. But those findings have never translated into proven human cancer cures. The National Cancer Institute acknowledges the research but does not endorse cannabis as a cancer treatment . The FDA has not approved any cannabis plant product for cancer [1].
What Simpson got right: He drew attention to cannabinoids when the world was ignoring them. He helped create the conditions for the legal cannabis industry that exists today. His advocacy opened doors for research that benefits people across Iowa and beyond.
What he overstated: Cancer is not a single disease. What works in a mouse model doesn’t necessarily work in a human. Encouraging patients to use RSO instead of proven therapies like surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy carries real harm potential. In Des Moines County, where Great River Health System provides world-class cancer care, we believe RSO should complement medical treatment—not replace it.
How Traditional RSO Was Made: The Problems We’re Solving
Traditional RSO production had serious issues that matter for anyone in Des Moines County considering making their own:
Source material: Single-strain, uncontrolled cannabis with no standardization.
Solvent extraction: Naphtha (lighter fluid) or 99% isopropyl alcohol—neither food-grade. Naphtha may contain benzene and other carcinogens. Incomplete solvent purging leaves toxic residues.
Heat process: Rice cooker evaporation destroyed all terpenes and fully decarboxylated THCa into THC—no choice about psychoactivity.
Result: A tar-like, nearly black oil that varied wildly from batch to batch. No lab testing. No quality control. No safety verification .
In a place like Des Moines County, where we value quality and safety in everything from our farm equipment to our healthcare, this approach simply doesn’t meet modern standards.
The OilWell Difference: Built From Real Adversity
Our company wasn’t started in a boardroom. It was started in McAllen, Texas—one of the most dangerous border regions in America—by Colin Valencia, a software engineer who did custom development for Baylor College of Medicine. Colin grew up seeing friends killed or imprisoned. He left home at sixteen. He chose cannabis over darker paths not because it was easy, but because it was the right thing to do [2].
But the real origin story—the one that defines everything we do—starts with a dog named Bentley.
Bentley’s Story: The Miracle That Created Our Mission
Bentley was more than a pet. He was family. When veterinarians told Colin that Bentley was paralyzed and euthanasia was the only humane option, Colin refused to accept it. The pain medications would destroy Bentley’s organs. The choice was suffering or death.
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 had never explored cannabis beyond getting high. That question exposed a blind spot that became a mission. He created a CBD golden paste for Bentley. From paralyzed and facing euthanasia, Bentley got up and brought Colin his ball to play. This wasn’t placebo—dogs don’t respond to placebo. This was real [2].
Bentley lived another ten years, passing naturally at age twenty. During those years, Colin developed specialized formulas for every condition Bentley faced:
- Neurodegeneration → CBG for neuroprotection
- Dementia → CBC for neurogenesis
- Glaucoma → THCa for eye pressure
- Arthritis → Multi-pathway anti-inflammation with CBD, CBG, THCa, and beta-caryophyllene
Single cannabinoids weren’t enough. Bentley’s life depended on multi-cannabinoid synergy and pharmaceutical precision. That decade of real-world formulation testing—on a patient Colin loved more than anything—became the foundation of the RSO formula we’re sharing with Des Moines County today.
Our Personal Stakes: PTSD, Benzos, and Finding a Way Out
Colin also knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He struggled with severe PTSD and Xanax addiction. When he decided to quit benzodiazepines—one of the most dangerous drugs to stop cold turkey—he used the same cannabinoid knowledge that kept Bentley alive.
The Peace Gummies formula that became an OilWell product was created during midnight experiments while fighting through benzo withdrawal. Colin personally uses the vape form to manage his insomnia and severe PTSD. This isn’t theoretical. He lived what you’re living: desperation when pills fail, discovery that cannabinoids work when pharmaceuticals don’t [2].
Seven ABC13 Features: Recognition That Can’t Be Bought
Between 2019 and 2023, ABC13 Houston featured Colin and OilWell in seven distinct news segments. Five different reporters sought us out when they needed to explain cannabis to Houston. That kind of sustained, independent media recognition doesn’t come from press releases—it comes from being the most credible voice in the room [3].
September 2019: Our first feature. Colin said, “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.” That quote became our north star [4].
March 2021: On decriminalization, Colin explained: “People think that everyone just wants to get high…but people are looking for things to help them with real pain. Pain comes in a lot of different forms.” [5]
May 2021: When asked why someone would want Delta-8, Colin’s honest answer—“Maybe you want to get high”—became one of his most iconic moments. The network aired it uncensored because the truth matters more than polish [6].
August 2021: We gave away 1,000 caviar pre-rolls (worth $35,000) to encourage COVID vaccination. We coordinated with the City of Houston because community health is more important than profit [7].
October 2021: When Texas reclassified Delta-8 as Schedule I overnight, Colin proactively removed all products before enforcement began and warned other operators who were unknowingly shipping narcotics. Ethical leadership means absorbing losses to protect others [8].
October 2022: The Biden marijuana pardon feature revealed Colin’s personal conviction history. “I would love to see people not get hurt for this anymore,” he said. Every feature before and after carries more weight when you understand he’s lived the consequences [9].
April 2023: On 4/20, Colin described the current moment as a “Renaissance”—a time of creative innovation that should be enjoyed now. From CBD to Delta-8 to THCa, OilWell has been at the frontier [10].
The 2018 Farm Bill: Why Our Products Are Legal in Iowa
The 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight. This is the foundation of everything we ship to Des Moines County.
Our RSO Sublingual Oil contains only 90mg of delta-9 THC in the entire 30mL bottle—3mg per mL—well under the federal threshold. All cannabinoids are hemp-derived. The product is legal under federal law and in Iowa [11].
The THCa Innovation: Patient-Controlled Potency
Here’s where things get revolutionary for Des Moines County residents. Traditional RSO was always psychoactive because heat converted all THCa to THC. We do something different.
Our sublingual formula includes 1,500mg of THCa in its raw, non-psychoactive form. This gives you three distinct options:
Option 1: Raw (No Heat)
All 1,500mg stays as THCa—completely non-psychoactive. You get anti-inflammatory benefits via COX-2 inhibition and neuroprotection via PPARγ agonism without any impairment. Perfect for daytime use in Burlington, West Burlington, or anywhere in Des Moines County where you need to work, drive, or parent [12].
Option 2: Fully Activated (Home Decarboxylation)
Heat the oil at 260°F for 45-60 minutes. This converts 1,500mg THCa into approximately 1,315mg delta-9 THC. Combined with the existing 90mg, you get ~1,405mg total delta-9 THC—potency comparable to traditional illegal RSO. You control the activation. You control the experience [11].
Option 3: Vape (Instant Decarboxylation)
Our 1g vape cartridge vaporizes at 400-450°F, instantly converting THCa to THC with each puff. Fastest relief available—1-2 minute onset for breakthrough pain, nausea, or panic attacks [2].
This is the most significant legal cannabis access innovation in history. The same product functions as non-psychoactive medicine OR full-potency psychoactive therapy—your choice, your control.
Our Complete RSO Sublingual Oil Formula: Transparency You Won’t Find Anywhere Else

Our Seven-Terpene Profile: The Sensory Experience
The same terpene blend in both products:
- Limonene (citrus-bright) – mood elevation, stress relief [21]
- Myrcene – relaxation, earthy depth [23]
- Caryophyllene (β-caryophyllene) – pepper/spice, CB2 receptor activation for inflammation [24]
- Pinene – forest-fresh, potential clarity and focus [25]
- Linalool – floral/lavender, calming [26]
- Humulene – earthy/woody, anti-inflammatory potential [27]
- Terpinolene – piney/fruity, complex aromatics [28]
For Des Moines County residents familiar with Iowa’s forests, fields, and gardens, these aromas connect the product to the land you know. The entourage effect suggests these terpenes may enhance cannabinoid activity, though human clinical proof remains limited [20][29].
The Science Behind Each Compound: What Des Moines County Needs to Know
We don’t hide behind vague claims. Here’s what the research actually says:
CBD (4,500mg)
- Strongest evidence: Rare epilepsies (FDA-approved Epidiolex) [1][2]
- Anxiety: 2024 meta-analysis shows significant anxiolytic signal, but sample sizes remain limited [3]
- Pain: Promising but heterogeneous studies [4]
- Sleep: Weak evidence, many studies use subjective measures [5]
- Safety: Liver enzyme elevation possible, especially with high doses or polypharmacy [6]
For Des Moines County residents dealing with epilepsy, anxiety, or chronic pain, CBD offers the most developed non-psychoactive option—but expectations should stay realistic.
CBG (3,000mg)
- Evidence: Mostly preclinical; human data sparse [7][8]
- Potential: Neuroprotection, inflammatory bowel disease, antibacterial activity
- Reality check: Over-the-counter CBG products are sold while evidence remains thin [7]
Delta-8 THC (6,000mg)
- Evidence: Psychoactive, less potent than delta-9, but safety data incomplete [9][10][11]
- Important: Hemp-derived delta-8 is pharmacologically active, not “diet weed” [9]
- Iowa context: While Farm Bill compliant, Iowa employers may still test for THC metabolites
THCa (1,500mg)
- Key for Des Moines County: Non-psychoactive until heated [12]
- Benefits: Anti-inflammatory via COX-2 inhibition, neuroprotective via PPARγ [12]
- Conversion: 1mg THCa = 0.877mg delta-9 THC when decarboxylated [11]
This is the ingredient that gives you control. Use it raw during the day in Burlington, activate it at night in West Burlington—your choice.
Delta-9 THC (90mg)
- Institutional support: Chemo nausea, HIV/AIDS appetite, some pain/MS symptoms [1]
- High-dose risks: Psychosis, anxiety, cannabis use disorder [15]
- Iowa law: Our product contains only 90mg total—well under 0.3% Farm Bill limit [11]
CBN (750mg)
- Marketing vs. reality: Marketed for sleep, but 2021 review found zero clinical trials with validated sleep measures [16]
- 2024 update: Still lacks robust human trials [17]
- Our dose: 25mg/mL—above the 20mg threshold some studies suggest, but evidence remains weak [16]
CBC (750mg)
- Evidence: Preclinical only—anti-inflammatory, neurogenic, antibacterial [18][19]
- Commercial reality: Sold over-the-counter despite little clinical data [18]
Terpenes: What Works and What’s Hype
- Strongest candidate: Caryophyllene (CB2 agonist) [24]
- Interesting but early: All others [20]-[28]
- Safety note: Limonene and linalool can cause contact allergies when oxidized [22]
- Entourage effect: Plausible but not clinically proven [20][29]
Common Overstatements We Refuse to Make
We’d rather lose a sale than mislead someone in Des Moines County:
| Overstatement | What We Actually Say |
|---|---|
| “CBN is a proven sleep aid” | “CBN evidence for sleep is weak; our 25mg/mL dose is above studied thresholds but not validated” [16][17] |
| “Myrcene makes you sleepy” | “Myrcene has preclinical relaxation signals but no strong human proof” [23] |
| “Terpenes have proven entourage effects” | “Entourage effect is plausible but lacks robust human confirmation” [20][29] |
| “THCa is always non-psychoactive” | “THCa is non-psychoactive raw but converts to THC when heated” [12] |
| “Delta-8 is completely safe” | “Delta-8 is psychoactive with incomplete safety data; use cautiously” [9]-[11] |

FAQs for Des Moines County Residents
Is this legal in Iowa?
Yes. Our products contain less than 0.3% delta-9 THC and are hemp-derived under the 2018 Farm Bill. We ship to Iowa regularly [11].
Will I fail a drug test?
If you use the raw (non-decarboxylated) sublingual oil, THCa should not trigger standard THC tests. However, if you heat/activate the product or use the vape, you will metabolize THC and likely test positive. Iowa employers maintain the right to test. Be honest with your employer about medical use [11].
How does this compare to Iowa’s medical cannabis program?
Iowa’s program requires a medical card, restricts conditions, and offers only THC-only products. Our formula is multi-cannabinoid, requires no card, ships to your door, and gives you potency control. For Des Moines County residents without qualifying conditions or who want more than just THC, we’re an accessible alternative.
Can I really make my own using your formula?
Absolutely. The tables above are your recipe. Source hemp-derived cannabinoid distillates (available online), mix with organic MCT oil and live terpenes, and follow our ratios. This is our open-source promise to Des Moines County.
What if I’m on other medications?
CBD can interact with liver enzymes and some medications (e.g., blood thinners, anti-seizure drugs). Consult your Des Moines County healthcare provider before use [1][6].
Is this safe for pregnant or nursing women?
No. NIH warns against cannabis use during pregnancy due to fetal brain development risks [1]. Not recommended.
How should I store it in Iowa’s climate?
Keep in a cool, dark place. Iowa summers can get hot; prolonged heat may gradually convert THCa to THC. Refrigeration extends shelf life.
