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

If you’re reading this in Effingham County, Illinois — whether you’re in Effingham city, Teutopolis, Altamont, or out on the rural routes that weave through our corn and soybean fields — you’ve likely heard about Rick Simpson Oil. Maybe you saw the term in an online forum for cancer patients. Maybe a veteran at the VFW hall mentioned it for PTSD. Maybe you’re one of the thousands of hardworking people in our community dealing with chronic pain from decades of agricultural or manufacturing work, and you’re looking for alternatives after prescription medications stopped working or caused more problems than they solved.

We understand. We’ve been there. And we’re here to give you the most honest, comprehensive, scientifically grounded RSO education available anywhere — customized for the realities of life in Effingham County.

Who Rick Simpson Was — And Why His Story Matters Here

Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor. He was a power engineer from Nova Scotia — a tradesman, not a scientist. In 1997, he suffered a serious head injury in a workplace fall that left him with persistent tinnitus, dizziness, and post-concussion symptoms that conventional medicine couldn’t fix. The medications he was prescribed either didn’t help or made things worse. When he asked his doctor about cannabis, the doctor refused to consider it .

Sound familiar? It should. Here in Effingham County, we know what it’s like when the medical system falls short. Maybe you’ve driven two hours to a specialist in St. Louis or Champaign, only to be handed another prescription that doesn’t work. Maybe you’ve watched a family member cycle through painkillers that cause liver damage or stomach bleeding. The experience of being told “there’s nothing more we can do” transcends geography — it happens here just as it happened to Rick Simpson in Canada.

Simpson’s pivotal moment came in 2003 when he claimed that concentrated cannabis oil removed three skin lesions his doctor had diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma. No independent medical verification or biopsy confirmation was ever published, but his personal testimony — that the oil disappeared the lesions in four days — became the origin story of Rick Simpson Oil .

Important context: Simpson’s account is personal testimony, not medical evidence. It cannot be evaluated as clinical proof. However, it is historically significant as the catalyst for a global movement.

After that experience, Simpson began making oil in Maccan, Nova Scotia, and giving it away for free to cancer patients and others. He claimed to help people with cancer, chronic pain, diabetes, infections, glaucoma, arthritis, depression, insomnia, and more — all conditions that affect families right here in Effingham County .

His story spread through the 2005 documentary Run From The Cure, which became foundational in cannabis communities worldwide. But his advocacy brought legal trouble. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police raided his property in 2005 and 2009. Facing continued pressure, he eventually left Canada for Europe, continuing his work from Croatia and the Netherlands .

Simpson’s position remained uncompromising: he maintained that RSO could cure cancer and that pharmaceutical companies and government agencies were actively suppressing this knowledge. He framed it as a fight against institutional corruption .

What Simpson got right: He drew attention to cannabinoids as a serious biomedical research area when the world was ignoring it. He helped create the conditions for the legal cannabis industry. The term “RSO” remains the most recognized name for full-spectrum cannabis extract.

What he overstated: His cure claims exceeded the evidence. Encouraging patients to use RSO instead of proven cancer therapies carries genuine harm potential. Delayed or foregone treatment is a documented concern in alternative medicine.

The Traditional RSO Protocol — And Why We Don’t Recommend It for Effingham County Residents

Simpson’s core recommendation was a 60-gram protocol over 90 days. The goal was to consume 60 grams of concentrated, high-THC cannabis oil — an enormous amount.

Titration schedule:

• Week 1: Half a grain of rice-sized dose (10-15mg) three times daily
• Weeks 2-5: Double the dose every four days until reaching 1 gram per day
• Weeks 5-12: Maintain 1 gram daily (roughly 333mg per dose, three times daily)

At peak dosing, this delivers approximately 600-900mg of delta-9 THC per day — far exceeding anything studied in controlled clinical settings. For context, the FDA-approved synthetic THC drug dronabinol is typically dosed at 2.5 to 20mg per day .

Critical context for evaluating this protocol:

• No controlled trial validation exists
• It assumes crude, unstandardized material with unknown potency
• Very high THC exposure carries real risks: severe intoxication, anxiety, panic, tachycardia, hypotension, and cannabis use disorder [1][13][14][15]
• Oncology patients are medically complex; using unregulated oil as primary treatment introduces harm beyond the oil itself

Traditional RSO as a product:

• Made from high-THC indica strains with no standardization
• Extracted using naphtha or 99% isopropyl alcohol — neither food-grade
• Process involved rice cooker evaporation that destroyed terpenes
• Result: nearly black, tar-like oil with possible solvent-residual odor
• No lab testing, no Certificates of Analysis, every batch different
• Estimated 60-90% THC content, but never verified

The residual solvent risk is significant. Naphtha contains benzene, toluene, and other toxic compounds. Incomplete purging leaves harmful residues. Modern extraction uses food-grade ethanol or supercritical CO₂ to eliminate this risk.

About OilWell Cannabis — Our Story, Our Mission

OilWell Cannabis was founded by Colin Valencia in Houston, Texas. But Colin’s roots run through McAllen, Texas — right across the river from Reynosa, Mexico, in one of the most economically challenged and dangerous border regions. He grew up learning to hustle in an environment where violence was common, best friends were killed or imprisoned, and he left home at sixteen to survive.

Despite those dangers, Colin chose cannabis over darker paths. He grew up in the traditional cannabis world pre-legalization, learning the plant intimately. Later, he became a formally trained software engineer and did custom development work for Baylor College of Medicine — one of the most prestigious medical institutions in the Texas Medical Center. That combination of deep plant knowledge plus medical-grade technical precision defines everything we do.

Bentley — The Dog Who Started It All

Our company’s origin story begins with a dog named Bentley. Bentley was more than a pet — he was family. When veterinarians delivered the verdict no owner wants to hear — euthanasia was the only humane option for his paralysis — Colin refused to accept it. Bentley was paralyzed in his back legs, and the pain medications would destroy his internal organs.

In a desperate search for alternatives, 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 created a CBD golden paste formula for Bentley. It wasn’t a cure, but it was hope. And that hope delivered what veterinary medicine said was impossible: Bentley got up, walked over to Colin, and brought him his ball to play. From paralyzed and facing euthanasia to fetching his ball. Dogs don’t respond to placebo — this was cannabinoid medicine doing what pharmaceuticals could not.

Bentley lived another ten years, dying naturally at age twenty. During those years, Colin developed specialized formulas for every age-related condition Bentley faced:

• Neurodegeneration → CBG’s neuroprotective properties and THCa’s PPARγ agonism for brain cell protection
• Dementia → CBC’s role in neurogenesis
• Glaucoma → THC’s CB1 agonism for intraocular pressure reduction
• Arthritis → Multi-pathway anti-inflammatory approaches using CBD, CBG, THCa, and beta-caryophyllene working through different receptor systems simultaneously

Single cannabinoids weren’t enough. Bentley’s evolving conditions required multi-cannabinoid synergy. Pharmaceutical precision mattered — Bentley’s life depended on formula accuracy, not guesswork.

Colin’s Personal Battle — PTSD and Benzo Addiction

Colin also knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He struggled with PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction. When he decided to break free from Xanax, he did it cold turkey — a notoriously difficult and dangerous feat — using the cannabinoid knowledge he developed keeping Bentley alive.

Our Peace Gummies formula was created during midnight experiments while fighting through benzo withdrawal. Colin personally uses the vape form for his insomnia and severe PTSD. This isn’t theoretical knowledge. Colin lived what RSO patients live: desperation for relief, failed pharmaceuticals, the discovery that cannabinoids work when pills do not.

Over time, the therapeutic benefits Colin first discovered through Bentley became the core of our work. We’ve developed formulas that doctors use for conditions like Crohn’s disease, IBS, ulcerative colitis, PTSD, benzo addiction, and insomnia. Our focus has always been making cannabis accessible and effective for everyone — including vegans, diabetics, and those with specific health needs.

ABC13 Houston — Seven Features, Four Years, One Voice

Between September 2019 and April 2023, ABC13 Houston featured Colin and OilWell in seven comprehensive news segments. Five different reporters sought us out across those years. No other Houston cannabis operator appears with that frequency or breadth.

These features documented everything: our business growth, the Delta-8 legal analysis, our COVID-19 community health leadership (giving away $35,000 in product to encourage vaccination), criminal justice reform perspectives, and cannabis business pioneering. Colin was repeatedly selected as the primary industry expert for cannabis policy and product coverage in America’s fourth-largest city.

The most personal revelation came in October 2022, when Colin shared that he has previously faced charges for marijuana possession. That transforms everything — Colin isn’t an outside entrepreneur who saw a business opportunity. He’s someone who lived the consequences of cannabis criminalization and built a legal business to prove the industry could operate with integrity, transparency, and community benefit.

Our foundational quote from September 2019 still guides everything we do: “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.”

The OilWell RSO Philosophy — Four Principles That Matter in Effingham County

Our RSO is not traditional Rick Simpson Oil. It’s a formulated, multi-cannabinoid product informed by the RSO tradition but deliberately different in ways that solve problems traditional RSO couldn’t.

1. Accessibility Over Gatekeeping

No medical card required. In Illinois, medical cannabis requires qualifying conditions and physician certification. Recreational dispensaries exist in some parts of the state, but Effingham County opted out of recreational cannabis sales. That means local access is limited.

Our products are available to anyone age 21+ nationwide. We ship directly to Effingham County — no medical card, no qualifying conditions, no driving to Springfield or Champaign. You can order from your home in Effingham, Teutopolis, or anywhere in the county, and we’ll deliver to your door.

This aligns with Simpson’s belief that medicine should be accessible to everyone. We’ve built a product and distribution model that makes that accessible legally.

2. Patient-Controlled Potency

Traditional RSO was always fully psychoactive — you had no choice. Our sublingual oil contains 1,500mg of THCa in its raw, non-psychoactive form. You decide:

• Raw (no heat): All 1,500mg stays as THCa — completely non-psychoactive. Perfect for daytime use when you need to work, drive, parent, or function without impairment. The THCa evidence suggests anti-inflammatory activity via COX-2 inhibition and neuroprotective potential via PPARγ agonism [12].

• Fully activated (home decarboxylation): Heat at 260°F for 45-60 minutes converts 1,500mg THCa into ~1,315mg delta-9 THC. Combined with the existing 90mg delta-9 THC, you get ~1,405mg total delta-9 THC plus 6,000mg delta-8 THC — delivering psychoactive potency comparable to traditional illegal RSO, entirely at your discretion after purchase.

• Partial control: Transfer a portion to a separate container, decarb only what you need, and preserve the rest raw.

This puts the potency decision entirely in your hands — aligning with Simpson’s principle that patients should control their own medicine, but implementing it through actual chemistry rather than rhetoric.

3. Open-Source Formulas

We publish our complete formulas publicly — every cannabinoid, every milligram, every percentage. If you can’t afford our products, you can source the ingredients and make your own version.

This matters in Effingham County. Our economy is built on agriculture and manufacturing — practical, hands-on people who know how to follow a recipe. The formulas are right here in this document. If you have access to cannabinoid distillates and organic MCT oil, you can create your own version of our RSO.

Simpson gave his oil away for free and taught people how to make it. We adapted that ethos for the modern marketplace: we sell a professionally manufactured, lab-tested, standardized product for those who want it, and we publish the complete recipe for those who need to make it themselves.

4. Evidence-Informed, Not Evidence-Overstating

Simpson operated without access to peer-reviewed literature. We have that access and use it to distinguish between what is well-supported, what is emerging, and what is overstated.

Every cannabinoid and terpene in our formula has its own evidence profile in the research section of this document. We don’t exempt ourselves from the same evidence standards we apply to the broader field. When we say CBD has the strongest human evidence for seizure disorders [1][2], we mean it. When we say CBG is promising but still preclinical [7][8], we mean it. When we say CBN’s sleep evidence is weaker than marketing suggests [16][17], we mean it.

You deserve the best possible version of the information so you can give it a fair shot and decide for yourself whether it’s right or wrong for you.

Farm Bill Compliance and the THCa Legal Framework — What Effingham County Residents Need to Know

The 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC at the federal level. This is the foundation of our product design.

Our RSO Sublingual Oil contains only 90mg of delta-9 THC in the entire 30mL bottle — 3mg per mL — well under the 0.3% threshold. All cannabinoids are hemp-derived. The product is legal under federal law and in Illinois.

THCa is the key. THCa is the acidic, non-psychoactive precursor to delta-9 THC. It is not itself delta-9 THC. This distinction is legally significant: THCa is Farm Bill compliant at the point of sale because it hasn’t been converted to delta-9 THC.

The practical significance for you in Effingham County: You can legally purchase, possess, and transport our product. You can then decarboxylate it at home by heating at 260°F (125°C) for 45-60 minutes. This converts 1,500mg of THCa into approximately 1,315mg of delta-9 THC.

Important legal notice: THCa converts to delta-9 THC when heated. Illinois state law aligns with federal Farm Bill standards. However, you are responsible for understanding and complying with local laws. We ship with full documentation, Certificates of Analysis, and receipts. International customers accept all customs and legal responsibility.

Why We Publish Our Formulas — The Open-Source Promise

Our RSO Sublingual Oil formula contains exactly:

• Live Terpenes: 5%
• Format: 30mL bottle
• Active cannabinoids per mL: 553mg

Our RSO Vape Cartridge formula contains:

Why publish this? Because accessibility matters. In Effingham County, where median household income is below the national average, we know cost can be a barrier. If you can’t afford $129.99 for our sublingual oil, you deserve to know exactly what’s in it so you can source ingredients and make your own.

This is the modern evolution of Rick Simpson’s free-distribution ethos. He gave his oil away and taught people how to make it. We’re doing the same, but with modern precision and safety standards.

The Decarboxylation Choice — How Effingham County Residents Control Their Medicine

Our sublingual oil gives you three distinct usage options:

Option 1: Raw, Non-Psychoactive (Daytime Use)

Perfect for Effingham County residents who work at plants like Mid America Motorworks, John Boos & Co., or in the agricultural sector. You need relief without impairment. Use the oil raw — THCa stays inactive, delivering potential anti-inflammatory benefits via COX-2 inhibition [12] without any high.

Option 2: Fully Activated (Nighttime Therapeutic Use)

For maximum therapeutic potential, heat the oil to convert THCa to delta-9 THC. This gives you ~1,405mg total delta-9 THC plus 6,000mg delta-8 THC — comparable to traditional illegal RSO, but legal because you control the activation.

Option 3: Partial Decarboxylation

Transfer a measured amount to a separate container, heat only that portion, and preserve the rest raw. This gives you precise control over your dose and potency.

The chemistry: THCa has a molecular weight of 358.47 g/mol. The conversion ratio is approximately 1mg THCa = 0.877mg delta-9 THC after decarboxylation, reflecting the loss of a CO₂ molecule.

This patient-controlled approach is especially valuable for Effingham County’s veteran community. Many veterans with PTSD need daytime functionality (raw THCa) but also require nighttime relief from flashbacks and insomnia (activated THC). One product serves both needs.

Solvent-Free Production — Why Safety Matters for Effingham County Families

Traditional RSO used naphtha or isopropyl alcohol — toxic, non-food-grade solvents that leave harmful residues. We use no solvents in production.

Our RSO is a formulated blend of individual cannabinoid distillates and isolates combined in a controlled environment. The carrier is organic MCT oil — food-grade, neutral-tasting, and safe.

Third-party lab testing covers:

• Cannabinoid potency (verified to ±2% accuracy)
• Terpene profile
• Pesticides (400+ compound screening)
• Heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury below FDA limits)
• Residual solvents (FDA Class 3 limits <5,000 ppm)
• Microbial contaminants (E. coli, Salmonella, Aspergillus)

Certificates of Analysis are available on request. When you’re putting something in your body — or giving it to a loved one in Effingham County — you deserve to know it’s clean and safe.

How Our Formulas Connect to the Evidence

Every cannabinoid in our formulas — CBD, CBG, delta-8 THC, THCa, delta-9 THC, CBN, CBC — has its own evidence profile in the GENERAL KNOWLEDGE section. Every terpene — limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene, linalool, humulene, terpinolene — is covered with peer-reviewed citations.

We don’t exempt ourselves from the same evidence standards we apply to everyone else. When the research is strong (CBD for seizures [1][2]), we say so confidently. When it’s emerging (CBG for neurologic disorders [7][8]), we say so honestly. When it’s weak (CBN for sleep [16][17]), we acknowledge the gap.

This is what separates OilWell from every other RSO provider in the market. We’re not here to sell you hope. We’re here to give you the best possible information so you can make an informed decision for yourself and your family.

Terpene Profile — The Sensory Experience

Both our sublingual oil and vape cartridge contain the same seven-terpene profile at 5%:

• Limonene (citrus-bright) — potential mood elevation [21]
• Myrcene — relaxation, but human evidence is limited [23]
• Caryophyllene (β-caryophyllene) — pepper/spice, CB2 receptor agonist [24]
• Pinene (forest-fresh) — clarity, but clinical proof is emerging [25]
• Linalool (lavender) — calm, with some antidepressant research [26]
• Humulene (earthy, woody) — anti-inflammatory potential [27]
• Terpinolene (piney, fruity) — complex aroma, limited human data [28]

These terpenes make the product experience enjoyable, not just therapeutic. The aroma and flavor connect to sensory memories — the citrus groves some Effingham County residents remember from travels, the pine forests of southern Illinois, the earthy smell of our rich agricultural soil.
