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

Fayette County, we know what it means to make do with what you’ve got. When the closest specialist is an hour away in Tuscaloosa or Birmingham, when the pharmacy’s out of your pain medication again, when you’re watching someone you love go through chemo and nothing the doctors prescribe touches the nausea—we’ve been there. We’ve all sat in those threadbare waiting rooms at Fayette County Medical Center, hoping for answers that never seem to come.

That’s why we’re reaching out to you directly. We’re OilWell Cannabis, a Houston-based company that’s been crafting cannabinoid medicine since 2019, and we’ve made it our mission to get real, lab-tested, research-backed RSO into the hands of people who need it most—no matter where they live. Even here, in the heart of rural Alabama, where the cannabis conversation has been whispered in back rooms for too long.

What Is Rick Simpson Oil, Really?

Most folks in Fayette County first hear about RSO through word of mouth—maybe at a church potluck, maybe from a neighbor whose cousin used it. The story they hear is usually about Rick Simpson himself, a Canadian power engineer who claimed cannabis oil cured his skin cancer back in 2003. It’s a powerful story, and we respect it. But here’s what most people don’t tell you: Rick Simpson was not a doctor. He never ran a clinical trial. He never published his results in a medical journal. What he did was hand out homemade oil to people in his community, free of charge, and listen to their stories.

The traditional RSO he made was crude—nearly black, tar-like, extracted with petroleum-based solvents like naphtha. It had no lab testing, no standardization, and no way to know what was actually in each batch. Yet it sparked a global movement because it gave people hope when conventional medicine had failed them. We see that same hope in Fayette County every day—people driving all the way to the VA in Birmingham for pain management, folks skipping doses because they can’t afford the copay, families searching online at 2 AM for anything that might help.

Our formulas take Rick Simpson’s spirit of accessibility and apply modern science to it. We’re not here to sell snake oil or false hope. We’re here to give you the best possible version of this medicine so you can make an informed decision for yourself and your family.

How Traditional RSO Stacks Up Against What We Make

We don’t hide from the comparison. In fact, we think you deserve to see exactly how what we offer differs from what Rick Simpson made in his kitchen.

The numbers tell the story. Rick Simpson’s protocol called for up to 1 gram of oil per day—600-900mg of delta-9 THC. That’s more THC than most people in Fayette County would know what to do with, and it comes with real risks: severe anxiety, paranoia, heart racing, and potential for addiction. Our sublingual oil delivers 16,590mg total cannabinoids across seven compounds, but only 90mg of delta-9 THC in the whole bottle. You get the therapeutic potential without the overwhelming high—unless you choose to activate it.

The Story That Built Our Company

Our founder, Colin Valencia, didn’t start OilWell in a boardroom. He started it in a vet’s office in McAllen, Texas, holding a dog named Bentley who was paralyzed and facing euthanasia. The vet said pain meds would destroy Bentley’s organs and that putting him down was the only humane option. Colin couldn’t accept that—he’d already lost too many friends to violence on the border, watched too many people fall into prison or worse. He wasn’t about to lose his dog to a pharmaceutical dead end.

A rescue worker asked him: “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and you’ve never heard of CBD?” That question changed everything. Colin learned to make CBD golden paste—turmeric, coconut oil, black pepper, and CBD. Bentley got up. Walked over. Brought his ball to play. From paralyzed to playing fetch. Dogs don’t respond to placebo. That was real.

Bentley lived ten more years, to age twenty. During that decade, Colin developed formulas for every condition Bentley faced: neurodegeneration (CBG), dementia (CBC), glaucoma (THC), arthritis (multi-cannabinoid anti-inflammatory). Single cannabinoids weren’t enough—Bentley needed synergy. That multi-cannabinoid precision became the foundation of our RSO formula.

Colin also knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He struggled with PTSD and Xanax addiction—common stories here in Fayette County, where too many veterans come home with invisible wounds and bottles of pills. He quit Xanax cold turkey using the same cannabinoid knowledge that saved Bentley. The Peace Gummies formula we sell came from midnight experiments during benzo withdrawal. Colin still uses the vape form for his own PTSD and insomnia. This isn’t theoretical knowledge from a lab. It’s lived experience.

What Makes Our RSO Different for Fayette County

1. You Control the Potency

Our sublingual oil contains 1,500mg of THCa—the acidic, non-psychoactive form of THC. Use it raw, and you get anti-inflammatory benefits without any high. Heat it at 260°F for 45-60 minutes, and that THCa converts to about 1,315mg of delta-9 THC. Combined with the existing 90mg, you’re looking at roughly 1,405mg of psychoactive THC in the whole bottle—comparable to traditional RSO, but you decide when and if to activate it.

For someone in Fayette County who works at the sawmill, drives a truck, or operates farm equipment, this is crucial. You can take your daytime dose raw—completely functional—then decarb a separate portion for nighttime relief. The product adapts to your life, not the other way around.

2. No Medical Card Needed

Alabama’s medical cannabis program is still finding its feet. Fayette County doesn’t have a single dispensary yet. Even when they open, you’ll need a qualifying condition, doctor’s approval, and state registration. Our RSO? Anyone 21 or older can order it. We ship directly to your door in Fayette County, no questions asked beyond age verification.

3. Open-Source Formulas

Rick Simpson gave his oil away for free and taught people to make it. We’re doing the same thing for the modern era. Below, you’ll find our complete formula. If $129.99 is out of reach right now—and we know times are tight in rural Alabama—you can source the ingredients yourself and make it at home. We want you to have access, whether you buy from us or not.

4. Lab-Tested Safety

Every batch is tested for potency, pesticides, heavy metals, residual solvents, and microbes. We publish the Certificates of Analysis. You know exactly what you’re putting in your body—no guesswork, no contamination, no surprises. For Fayette County families dealing with compromised immune systems from chemo or chronic illness, that matters.

Legal Status in Fayette County, Alabama

We know the first question most folks in Fayette County ask: “Is this legal?” The answer is yes—federally and in Alabama.

The 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp and hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight. Our sublingual oil contains 90mg delta-9 THC in a 30mL bottle—that’s 0.3% exactly, making it Farm Bill compliant.

Alabama State Law (SB 225, signed 2019) aligns with the Farm Bill. Hemp-derived cannabinoids with <0.3% delta-9 THC are legal to possess, use, and purchase. No medical card required. No qualifying conditions. If you’re 21 or older in Fayette County, you can legally order our RSO.

The THCa Distinction: At purchase, our product is non-psychoactive and fully legal. If you choose to heat it and convert THCa to delta-9 THC, you’re doing that in the privacy of your own home—where Alabama law doesn’t reach. You’re not breaking any laws by purchasing or possessing our product.

Drug Testing Warning: If you use the activated (decarboxylated) form or the vape, you will test positive for THC on standard drug screens. The raw form (THCa) generally will not show up, but we can’t guarantee that. If your employer in Fayette County tests randomly, stick with the raw sublingual oil during work periods.

Dosing Guidance for Fayette County Conditions

We can’t give medical advice, but we can share how people in similar situations have used our products, based on the research.

For Chemo Support (Cancer Treatment in Tuscaloosa or Birmingham):

• Pre-chemo: 0.5-1mL raw sublingual 1 hour before treatment
• Breakthrough nausea: 2-3 vape puffs
• Post-chemo: 0.5mL raw every 6 hours as needed
• Sleep: 1-2mL sublingual before bed (delivers 25-50mg CBN)

If you’re making the long drive to UAB or DCH for chemo, the vape can be a lifesaver in the car when nausea hits suddenly.

For Chronic Pain (Years of Mill Work, Farming, Construction):

• Daytime: 0.3-0.5mL raw sublingual (functional, no high)
• Nighttime: 0.5-1mL activated sublingual (full relief + sleep support)
• Breakthrough: Vape as needed

The caryophyllene in our terpene profile activates CB2 receptors directly, providing anti-inflammatory effects that work alongside the cannabinoids—important for joint pain from years of physical labor.

For Sleep (Insomnia, PTSD, Racing Thoughts):

• 1-2mL sublingual before bed
• At 2mL, you get 50mg CBN—the dosage studied in 2024 sleep research
• The linalool and myrcene terpenes add calming effects

For Anxiety (PTSD, Panic, Stress):

• Daytime: 0.3mL raw sublingual
• Acute panic: 2-3 vape puffs for immediate grounding
• Night anxiety: 1mL sublingual (full profile with CBN)

General Rule: Start low, go slow. Begin with 0.25mL and wait 2-3 hours before increasing. Everyone’s different—your weight, metabolism, and tolerance all matter.

Why Fayette County Should Trust Our Evidence

We don’t expect you to take our word for it. The scientific literature backs up every compound in our formula:

• CBD: Strongest evidence for rare epilepsies, with emerging support for anxiety and pain [1]-[6]
• Delta-8 THC: Similar to delta-9 but less potent, with documented anti-nausea effects [9]-[11]
• CBG: Shows promise for neuroprotection and inflammation, though human studies are still developing [7][8]
• CBN: Often marketed for sleep, but clinical evidence remains weak—our 750mg dose is based on what research exists [16][17]
• CBC: Emerging research on neurogenesis and anti-inflammation, still preclinical [18][19]
• THCa: Non-psychoactive anti-inflammatory via COX-2 inhibition, neuroprotective via PPARγ [12]
• Terpenes: Beta-caryophyllene is a CB2 agonist (direct anti-inflammatory); limonene and linalool may help with anxiety via entourage effects [20]-[29]

We’ve read the science so you don’t have to—but we provide the citations so you can verify everything yourself. That’s the difference between selling a product and educating a community.

Our Media Record: Why It Matters for Fayette County

You might wonder why a Houston company’s media mentions should matter to someone in Fayette, Alabama. Here’s why: ABC13 Houston is a major-market news affiliate that doesn’t give airtime to fly-by-night operations. They’ve featured Colin Valencia seven times between 2019 and 2023 because he’s proven himself as an honest, knowledgeable source in an industry full of hype.

When you’re considering putting something in your body—or your loved one’s body—you want to know it comes from someone who says on camera: “I’m not trying to sell people snake oil. I’m not trying to sell people hope.” That kind of radical honesty is rare. It’s why ABC13 kept coming back, and it’s why you can trust what we’re telling you now.

Colin’s personal story—growing up in border violence, losing friends to prison, struggling with PTSD and benzo addiction, building a legal business after a cannabis conviction—resonates with rural communities like Fayette County that have seen the worst of the drug war and the opioid crisis. He didn’t come from privilege. He came from the same kind of hard places that exist in every rural county in America.
