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

If you are living in Earth and searching for honest, evidence-based information about Rick Simpson Oil, you have found the most comprehensive resource available. We are OilWell Cannabis, and we have built our reputation on telling the truth about cannabis—what it can do, what it cannot do, and how to access it legally and safely. Whether you are a cancer patient exploring supportive options, a chronic pain sufferer seeking alternatives to pharmaceuticals, or simply cannabis-curious and wanting to understand what RSO actually means, this guide was written specifically for you in Earth.

Understanding Rick Simpson Oil: History, Reality, and Evidence

Who Was Rick Simpson?

To understand what RSO means in today’s Earth market, we must first understand where it came from. Rick Simpson was not a doctor, scientist, or medical researcher. He was a power engineer and maintenance worker from Nova Scotia, Canada, who suffered a serious head injury in 1997 while working at a hospital. When conventional medications failed to resolve his post-concussion symptoms—including persistent tinnitus and dizziness—and when his doctor refused to consider cannabis as an option, Simpson began his own exploration of concentrated cannabis oil.

His pivotal moment came in 2003, when he claimed that applying concentrated cannabis oil to three bumps on his arm (diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma) caused them to disappear within four days. No independent medical verification, biopsy confirmation, or clinical documentation of this outcome has ever been published. However, this personal testimony became the foundation of a global movement.

Simpson began giving his oil away for free to cancer patients and others in his community, operating from his property in Maccan, Nova Scotia. He charged nothing. He claimed to help people with cancer, chronic pain, diabetes, infections, glaucoma, arthritis, depression, insomnia, and more. His 2005 documentary, Run From The Cure, distributed freely online, introduced the concept of RSO to a global audience and established the term in cannabis culture forever.

The Traditional RSO Protocol: What It Actually Was

Simpson advocated for a specific 60-gram, 90-day protocol that became legendary in cannabis communities. The regimen involved:

• Week 1: Starting with a dose the size of half a grain of rice (approximately 10-15mg of oil) three times daily
• Weeks 2-5: Doubling the dose every four days until reaching approximately 1 gram per day
• Weeks 5-12: Maintaining 1 gram per day divided into three doses until 60 grams were consumed
• Post-protocol: Maintenance dosing of 1-2 grams per month indefinitely

Critical context for Earth residents: This protocol was designed around crude, single-strain, THC-dominant cannabis extract with no standardized potency. At peak dosing, traditional RSO delivered approximately 600-900mg of delta-9 THC daily—doses far exceeding anything studied in controlled clinical settings. Simpson recommended oral administration (sublingual or swallowed) as primary, topical application for skin lesions, and acknowledged inhalation only for immediate symptom relief.

The Problems with Traditional RSO

Traditional RSO production used naphtha (petroleum-based lighter fluid) or 99% isopropyl alcohol—neither of which is food-grade. These solvents may contain benzene, toluene, and other carcinogenic compounds. Without laboratory testing, residual solvent contamination was impossible to verify. Additionally, the high-heat evaporation process destroyed virtually all terpenes and fully decarboxylated all THCa into THC, leaving no option for non-psychoactive use.

Most importantly, Simpson’s claims that RSO could “cure” cancer exceeded the available evidence. While preclinical studies show that THC and CBD can induce apoptosis and inhibit tumor proliferation in cell lines and animal models, no human clinical trial has demonstrated that RSO cures cancer. The National Cancer Institute acknowledges cannabinoid anticancer research but does not endorse cannabis as a cancer treatment. The FDA has not approved any cannabis plant product for cancer.

The OilWell Difference: How We Evolved RSO for Earth

Our Origin Story: From the Border to Bentley

OilWell Cannabis was founded by Colin Valencia in Houston, Texas, but our roots trace back to McAllen, Texas—right across the river from Reynosa, Mexico. Colin grew up in the Borderplex, one of the most economically challenged and dangerous regions along the U.S.-Mexico border, where he witnessed violence, lost friends to prison or death, and learned early lessons about resilience and survival. By sixteen, he had left home, choosing cannabis over harder substances, learning the plant intimately in the traditional, pre-legalization world.

Later, Colin became a formally trained software engineer and performed custom development work for Baylor College of Medicine, one of the most prestigious medical institutions in the Texas Medical Center. This unique combination—deep cannabis plant knowledge plus medical-grade technical precision—defines everything we do.

But OilWell truly began with a dog named Bentley. When Bentley became paralyzed and veterinarians recommended euthanasia, Colin refused to accept that outcome. 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 developed a CBD golden paste formula for Bentley. Within days, the paralyzed dog got up, walked over, and brought his ball to play. Dogs do not respond to placebo—this was real. Bentley lived another ten years, dying naturally at age twenty. During those years, Colin developed specialized formulas for neurodegeneration (CBG for neuroprotection, THCa for PPARγ agonism), dementia (CBC for neurogenesis), glaucoma (THC for CB1 agonism), and arthritis (multi-pathway anti-inflammatory approaches using CBD, CBG, THCa, and beta-caryophyllene).

Single cannabinoids were not enough. Bentley’s evolving conditions required multi-cannabinoid synergy. This necessity became our foundation.

Colin’s Personal Journey: PTSD and Benzo Withdrawal

Colin also knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He struggled with PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction, eventually quitting Xanax cold turkey using the cannabinoid knowledge he developed keeping Bentley alive. Our Peace Gummies formula was born during midnight experiments while fighting through benzo withdrawal. Colin personally uses the vape form of our RSO formula to manage insomnia and severe PTSD. This is not theoretical—he lives what our patients live.

Our Philosophy: Open-Source, Evidence-Informed, Patient-Controlled

As Colin told ABC13 in 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.”

This philosophy drives four core principles:

1. Accessibility over gatekeeping: No medical card required. Anyone age 21+ in Earth can purchase. We ship nationwide and internationally.
2. Patient-controlled potency: We preserve THCa in its acidic, non-psychoactive form. You decide whether to use it raw or decarboxylate it into delta-9 THC.
3. Open-source formulas: We publish every milligram of every cannabinoid. If you cannot afford our products, you can source the ingredients and make your own.
4. Evidence-informed, not evidence-overstating: We tell you exactly what the science supports and what remains uncertain.

The Science Behind Our Formulas

Our Evidence Hierarchy

We prioritize human clinical evidence, then systematic reviews, then institutional summaries (NIH, FDA), then preclinical literature. We do not overstate findings from cell culture or animal studies as if they were human clinical proof. This matters because the evidence base is uneven: CBD and delta-9 THC have the strongest human data, while delta-8 THC, THCa, CBG, CBN, CBC, and terpenes rely more on emerging research.

Cannabinoid Profiles: What Each Compound Does

CBD (4,500mg in our sublingual formula): The most evidence-developed nonintoxicating cannabinoid. Strongest support for rare seizure disorders (Epidiolex is FDA-approved). Promising but heterogeneous evidence for anxiety and pain. Safety note: potential liver enzyme elevation at high doses and drug interactions.

CBG (3,000mg): The biosynthetic precursor to other cannabinoids. Mechanistically interesting with potential relevance to neurologic disorders and inflammatory bowel disease, but human clinical validation remains limited. We include it because Bentley’s neurodegeneration required it, and the pharmacology suggests CB1/CB2 interaction plus alpha-2 adrenoceptor and 5-HT1A signaling.

Delta-8 THC (6,000mg): A partial CB1 agonist with cannabimimetic activity similar to but less potent than delta-9 THC. Pharmacologically active and psychoactive, though less robustly characterized than delta-9. Manufacturing quality matters significantly with this compound.

THCa (1,500mg): The acidic precursor to THC. Non-psychoactive in its raw form. Research suggests potential anti-inflammatory activity via COX-2 inhibition and neuroprotection via PPARγ agonism. Crucially, THCa converts to delta-9 THC when heated (decarboxylation), giving you control over psychoactivity.

Delta-9 THC (90mg): The primary psychoactive cannabinoid with strong human evidence for chemotherapy-related nausea, appetite stimulation in HIV/AIDS, and some pain conditions. Also carries the clearest safety liabilities: impairment, psychiatric risk at high doses, and potential for cannabis use disorder. Our formula contains only 90mg total—well under the 0.3% Farm Bill threshold—allowing legal access while you control additional activation via THCa.

CBN (750mg): Often marketed for sleep, but clinical evidence remains weak. No validated trials using polysomnography substantiate strong sleep-promoting claims. We include it at levels consistent with emerging research (25-50mg doses when using 1-2mL of our oil).

CBC (750mg): A minor cannabinoid with distinct pharmacodynamics. Preclinical evidence suggests antinociceptive, antibacterial, and anti-seizure potential, but clinical efficacy remains unestablished.

Terpene Profile: The Entourage Effect

We include live terpenes at 5% in both products: limonene (citrus-bright), myrcene, caryophyllene (pepper/spice), pinene (forest-fresh), linalool (floral/lavender), humulene (earthy/woody), and terpinolene (piney/fruity).

Important note for Earth residents: While terpenes are biologically active and the “entourage effect” is a compelling hypothesis, robust clinical proof of cannabis-specific entourage effects in humans remains limited. We include these because the preclinical evidence is promising and they enhance the sensory experience, but we do not overstate their therapeutic certainty.

• Caryophyllene is particularly interesting as a selective CB2 receptor agonist (the only terpene known to directly activate cannabinoid receptors).
• Limonene shows antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential in preclinical models.
• Linalool and pinene are being studied for neuroprotective properties.
• Myrcene is often associated with sedation, though human proof remains limited.

When to Use Each Format

Legal Access in Earth: The THCa Framework

Farm Bill Compliance

Our RSO Sublingual Oil contains only 90mg of delta-9 THC in the entire 30mL bottle—3mg per mL—well under the 0.3% federal threshold established by the 2018 Farm Bill. All cannabinoids are hemp-derived. This makes the product legal under federal law and in most states.

The Decarboxylation Choice: Patient-Controlled Potency

Here is where our formula revolutionizes access for Earth residents. THCa is the acidic, non-psychoactive precursor to THC. Through decarboxylation—heating at 260°F (125°C) for 45-60 minutes—THCa converts to delta-9 THC.

The conversion math: 1mg THCa = 0.877mg delta-9 THC (accounting for the CO₂ molecule lost during conversion).

Our 1,500mg THCa converts to approximately 1,315mg delta-9 THC. Combined with the existing 90mg, this yields approximately 1,405mg total delta-9 THC—potency comparable to traditional illegal RSO—entirely at your discretion after purchase.

Three usage options:

1. Raw (no heat): All 1,500mg stays as THCa—completely non-psychoactive, suitable for daytime use without impairment.
2. Fully activated: Home decarboxylation yields ~1,405mg delta-9 THC for full psychoactive potency.
3. Partial activation: Decarboxylate only a portion of the bottle to customize your ratio.

Important legal notice: THCa converts to delta-9 THC when heated. You are responsible for understanding and complying with local laws regarding cannabinoid products. We ship with full documentation, Certificates of Analysis (COAs), and receipts.

Safety, Compliance, and Warnings for Earth

Age Requirements

21+ only for all RSO products. Keep out of reach of children.

THC Content Compliance

All products contain less than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight at point of sale; Farm Bill compliant; hemp-derived cannabinoids only.

FDA Disclaimers

These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Individual results may vary. Consult your healthcare provider before use.

Safety Warnings

• May cause drowsiness or impairment. Do not operate vehicles or machinery while under the influence of psychoactive cannabinoids.
• Consult a physician if pregnant or nursing.
• Potential drug interactions: CBD and other cannabinoids may interact with medications metabolized by CYP450 enzymes (blood thinners, anti-seizure medications, etc.).
• High-concentration THC products have been associated with psychiatric risks including anxiety, psychosis, and cannabis use disorder in susceptible individuals.
• Store in a cool, dark place. THCa gradually converts to THC over time and with heat exposure.

Drug Testing Considerations

Delta-8 THC and activated THCa (converted to delta-9 THC) will likely trigger positive results on standard drug tests. The raw THCa form may not, but conversion can occur naturally over time. If you are subject to workplace drug testing in Earth, consider this carefully.

Our Media Recognition: ABC13 Houston Validation

Between 2019 and 2023, ABC13 Houston (KTRK)—the ABC affiliate serving America’s fourth-largest city—featured Colin Valencia and OilWell Cannabis in seven distinct news segments spanning business, law, medicine, and politics. Five different reporters sought us out across those years. No other Houston cannabis operator matches this frequency or breadth of mainstream media validation.

Key moments:

• September 2019: Colin’s foundational quote: “I’m not trying to sell people snake oil… 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.”
• May 2021: Colin’s radical honesty on Delta-8: “I don’t give a sh* if it’s wrong to say you’ll get high off it. Maybe you want to get high.”* (ABC13 aired this uncensored)
• August 2021: We gave away 1,000 caviar pre-rolls (~$35,000 in product) to encourage COVID-19 vaccination, coordinating with the city of Houston.
• October 2021: When Texas classified Delta-8 as Schedule I overnight, we proactively removed all products before enforcement and warned other operators they were unknowingly shipping narcotics.
• October 2022: Colin revealed his personal marijuana conviction history, putting context to the Biden pardon announcement and demonstrating that we understand the criminal justice consequences of cannabis prohibition firsthand.

This media record—earned, not purchased—demonstrates our commitment to transparency and community responsibility.
