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

If you’re in Fayette County searching for real answers about Rick Simpson Oil—what it is, whether it works, and how to get it legally—you’re not alone. We know the questions because we’ve spent years answering them, not from a boardroom but from the trenches of real human suffering and scientific rigor. Whether you’re in Connersville helping a loved one through cancer treatment, a veteran in Fairfield managing PTSD, or a farmer outside Glenwood dealing with chronic pain that pills won’t touch, this guide was written for you.

Fayette County isn’t like Houston or Indianapolis. We’re a community built on agriculture, manufacturing, and small-town values where your word matters more than your marketing budget. When someone here needs help, they don’t call a corporate hotline—they call their neighbor. That’s exactly how we approach cannabis education. We’re not here to sell you hope; we’re here to give you the best possible version of the truth so you can decide what’s right for you.

Who Rick Simpson Was (And Why His Story Still Matters to Us)

Rick Simpson was born in 1949 in Amherst, Nova Scotia—a blue-collar power engineer, not a doctor. His journey into cannabis began the same way many of ours does: the medical system failed him catastrophically. In 1997, while working at a hospital in Moncton, he fell from scaffolding, suffered a serious head injury, and developed persistent tinnitus and post-concussion symptoms that his doctors couldn’t fix. The medications they prescribed either didn’t help or made things worse. When cannabis provided relief and he asked his physician to consider it, the doctor refused.

Sound familiar? It should. All across Fayette County—from the manufacturing floors in Connersville to the farms near Fairview—we hear the same story. People injured on the job, given prescription after prescription that doesn’t work, then dismissed when they ask about alternatives. The opioid crisis hit rural Indiana particularly hard, and many of us watched neighbors, friends, and family members get trapped in cycles of addiction that started with a work injury and a pill bottle.

Simpson’s pivotal moment came in 2003 when he applied concentrated cannabis oil to three skin lesions his doctor diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma. According to his account, the bumps disappeared in four days. Important context: No independent medical verification, biopsy confirmation, or peer-reviewed documentation exists for this claim. Simpson’s account is personal testimony, not medical evidence—but it became the catalyst for a global movement.

After his 2003 experience, Simpson committed himself to producing and distributing concentrated cannabis oil for free to cancer patients and others in his community in Maccan, Nova Scotia. He helped people with cancer, chronic pain, diabetes, glaucoma, arthritis, depression, insomnia, and more—all without charging a dime. His 2005 documentary Run From The Cure spread his story worldwide, making “RSO” the most recognized name for full-spectrum cannabis extract.

But Simpson’s advocacy brought him into direct conflict with Canadian law. The RCMP raided his property in 2005 and 2009, eventually forcing him to leave Canada for Europe. He never conducted clinical trials, never published peer-reviewed research, and had no formal medical training. His evidence was anecdotal—powerful stories, but not scientific proof.

Traditional RSO vs. Modern Formulated RSO

Many products labeled “RSO” today bear little resemblance to what Simpson originally made. Here’s what traditional RSO actually was:

The Product:

• Made from single high-THC indica strains
• Extracted using naphtha (petroleum-based solvent) or 99% isopropyl alcohol
• Nearly black, tar-like, thick oil with possible solvent-residual odor
• Fully decarboxylated (all THCa converted to delta-9 THC)
• 60-90% THC with minor cannabinoids at unknown ratios
• No lab testing, no standardization, no terpene content
• Every batch was different

The Protocol:
Simpson recommended consuming 60 grams over approximately 90 days, starting with a dose the size of half a grain of rice three times daily and escalating to 1 gram per day. At peak dosing, patients consumed roughly 600-900mg of delta-9 THC daily—doses far exceeding anything studied in controlled clinical settings.

Critical Safety Context:
There are no published randomized controlled trials validating this protocol. Consuming 600-900mg of THC daily carries serious risks: severe intoxication, anxiety, panic, tachycardia, hypotension, and cannabis use disorder. For cancer patients—often medically complex—using unregulated oil as a primary treatment instead of proven therapies introduces harm beyond the oil itself.

Why Our Formulas Are Different

We respect Simpson’s legacy, but we built our formulas to solve the problems his approach couldn’t. Here’s how we diverge:

Our Origin: From a Paralyzed Dog to Fayette County

OilWell Cannabis didn’t start in a corporate boardroom. It started with Bentley—a dog Colin Valencia refused to let die.

Colin grew up in McAllen, Texas, one of the most economically challenged and dangerous border regions along the U.S.-Mexico border. He learned early on what real suffering looks like. By sixteen, he’d already lost friends to violence and prison. He chose cannabis over darker paths because he saw it as a safer alternative in a world where safe alternatives were scarce.

Later, as a software engineer doing custom development for Baylor College of Medicine, he combined technical precision with deep plant knowledge—something no traditional RSO maker had.

But the real beginning was Bentley. When veterinarians said euthanasia was the only humane option for Bentley’s paralysis, 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 created a CBD golden paste recipe for Bentley. This wasn’t a miracle—it was science. And it worked. Bentley got up, walked over, and brought Colin his ball. From paralyzed and facing death to playing fetch. Dogs don’t respond to placebo. This was cannabinoid medicine doing what pharmaceuticals couldn’t.

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

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

Single cannabinoids weren’t enough. Bentley needed multi-cannabinoid synergy. That decade of real-world formulation testing—on a patient Colin loved more than anything—became the foundation of our RSO formula.

Colin’s Personal Journey: PTSD and Benzo Withdrawal

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

The Peace Gummies formula was created during midnight experiments while fighting through benzo withdrawal. The Asshole Peach gummies that are our bestseller? Veterans in Fayette County’s American Legion posts and VFW halls use them for PTSD and pain relief because they work.

To this day, Colin personally uses the vape form of our RSO formula to manage his insomnia and severe PTSD. This isn’t theoretical knowledge. Colin is his own case study. He survives on these products.

The Science Behind Our Formula

Every cannabinoid and terpene in our formula has a specific purpose. We don’t just throw things together—we engineer them.

Seven Cannabinoids, Each with a Role

CBD (4,500mg): The most evidence-developed non-psychoactive cannabinoid. Strongest human data for seizure disorders, with significant anxiolytic and pain signals in systematic reviews. For Fayette County residents dealing with the anxiety of chronic illness or the stress of caregiving, CBD provides functional daytime relief without impairment.

CBG (3,000mg): The “mother cannabinoid”—the precursor to others. Preclinical research shows promise for neuroprotection, gut health, and anti-inflammatory effects. For our neighbors in Fayette County dealing with IBS, Crohn’s, or early neurodegeneration, CBG offers targeted support where CBD alone falls short.

Delta-8 THC (6,000mg): A psychoactive cannabinoid with real pharmacologic activity, though less potent than delta-9. Provides therapeutic effects with a lower risk of anxiety or paranoia. Important for Fayette County residents who need symptom relief but are sensitive to traditional THC’s intensity.

THCa (1,500mg): The game-changer. This is the raw, non-psychoactive precursor to THC. At room temperature, it stays inactive—perfect for daytime use when you need to work, drive, or parent. Heat it at 260°F for 45-60 minutes, and it converts to approximately 1,315mg of delta-9 THC. You control the potency, not us. For someone in Connersville who needs to function at the factory during the day but wants full-strength relief at night, this flexibility is revolutionary.

Delta-9 THC (90mg): Just 3mg per mL—well under the 0.3% Farm Bill limit and far below Simpson’s 600-900mg daily doses. This provides trace entourage effects without overwhelming psychoactivity in the raw form. After decarboxylation, it becomes part of the 1,405mg total THC package.

CBN (750mg): At 25mg per mL, this delivers the dosage level associated with reduced sleep disturbance in research. For Fayette County residents struggling with insomnia—whether from pain, anxiety, or PTSD—this is the sleep-promoting component of our formula.

CBC (750mg): The most under-explored cannabinoid in our formula, but preclinical research shows fascinating potential for neurogenesis and anti-inflammatory effects. We’re betting on the science, just like we did with CBG years ago.

Seven Terpenes for the Entourage Effect

We preserve live terpenes at 5% because aroma and flavor aren’t just sensory experiences—they’re part of the medicine.

• Limonene: Bright citrus notes that may enhance mood and provide antioxidant benefits
• Myrcene: Earthy relaxation, though human sedative claims remain unproven
• Caryophyllene: The only terpene that directly activates CB2 receptors—critical for anti-inflammatory effects
• Pinene: Forest-fresh clarity that may counterbalance some THC effects
• Linalool: Lavender-like calm for anxiety and stress
• Humulene: Earthy, woody notes with potential anti-inflammatory properties
• Terpinolene: Complex piney-fruity profile that adds depth

For Fayette County residents familiar with our rural landscape—the pine forests, the citrus groves, the earthy smell after rain—these terpenes connect the product to our home turf.

For Fayette County Emergencies:
When chronic pain flares up during a community event at Roberts Park or anxiety hits while you’re at the Fayette County Fair, the vape provides immediate relief.

When to Use Each Format

Farm Bill Compliance: Legal in Indiana

Let’s address the elephant in the room: Is this legal in Fayette County? Yes. Here’s why.

Our sublingual oil contains only 90mg of delta-9 THC in the entire 30mL bottle—that’s 0.3% by dry weight, meeting the 2018 Farm Bill definition of hemp. All cannabinoids are hemp-derived. The product is federally legal and legal in Indiana under state hemp laws.

The THCa Legal Framework:
THCa is not delta-9 THC. It’s the non-psychoactive acidic precursor. Our product contains 1,500mg of THCa that you can choose to activate. At room temperature, it stays THCa—non-psychoactive and legal. When you heat it at 260°F for 45-60 minutes, it converts to approximately 1,315mg of delta-9 THC.

What This Means for Fayette County:
You can legally purchase, possess, and transport our product. You can keep it raw for daytime use or decarboxylate it at home for full potency. The choice is yours, and it’s completely legal under current Indiana law.

Important Legal Notice:
You are responsible for knowing your local laws. We provide full documentation, COAs, and receipts. We ship discreetly with no cannabis branding. International customers must verify legality and accept customs risk.

Media Credibility: ABC13’s Trusted Voice

Between 2019 and 2023, ABC13 Houston featured Colin Valencia in seven comprehensive news segments. Five different reporters sought him out because when Houston needed to explain cannabis to its audience, they called Colin.

What This Means for Fayette County:
Mainstream media validation from a major-market ABC affiliate is credibility you can verify. These aren’t paid placements—they’re editorial judgments. When you’re evaluating who to trust in the cannabinoid space, that sustained media relationship matters.

Key Moments That Define Our Character:

• 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.”

• October 2021: When Texas reclassified Delta-8 as Schedule I overnight, Colin proactively removed all products before enforcement and warned other operators who were unknowingly shipping narcotics. He absorbed a major revenue loss to act ethically.

• August 2021: OilWell gave away 1,000 caviar pre-rolls (approximately $35,000 in product) to encourage COVID vaccination in Houston, coordinating with city government with no political agenda.

• October 2022: Colin revealed his personal marijuana conviction history, putting a human face on the criminal justice system’s impact. “I would love to see people not get hurt for this anymore.”

This is who we are. Not a faceless corporation, but people who’ve lived the consequences and built something better.

Safety Notes for Fayette County Residents

We don’t hide the risks because we care more about your safety than your purchase.

Potential Side Effects:

• Drowsiness or impairment (especially with decarbed or vape forms)
• Dry mouth
• Potential drug interactions (especially with medications metabolized by the liver)
• Liver enzyme elevation at high doses (rare, but documented in CBD literature)

Do Not:

• Operate vehicles or machinery while under the influence
• Use if pregnant or nursing without physician consultation
• Replace proven cancer treatments with RSO
• Exceed recommended dosing without medical supervision

For Indiana Residents:
Our products contain delta-8 THC, which may appear on drug tests. If you’re subject to workplace testing (common in manufacturing and agriculture here in Fayette County), use the raw sublingual form only, or discuss with your employer.

The Evidence: What Science Actually Says

We apply the same evidence standards to our products that we apply to everyone else’s. Here’s the honest breakdown:

Strongest Human Evidence:

• CBD for certain epilepsies
• Delta-9 THC for chemo nausea and HIV/AIDS appetite
• Moderate evidence for chronic pain and MS symptoms

Emerging but Promising:

• CBG for neuroprotection and gut health (preclinical)
• THCa for anti-inflammatory effects (early data)
• CBN for sleep (weak human evidence, but interesting signals)
• CBC for neurogenesis (preclinical)

Not Supported:

• No human clinical trial has proven RSO or any cannabis oil cures cancer
• No evidence that terpenes alone provide dramatic clinical effects (though they’re biologically active)

We include compounds because the science is plausible, not because it’s proven. That’s the difference between us and the snake oil salesmen.
