Rick Simpson Oil in Fleming County, Kentucky: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis

Fleming County, we see you. We know what you’re up against out there in the Bluegrass — the quiet struggles in places like Flemingsburg and Elizaville, the long drives to medical appointments in Lexington or Cincinnati, the way chronic pain and cancer touch families in every holler and every farm. When you’re facing a health crisis in rural Kentucky, you don’t have the luxury of walking into a fully stocked dispensary or consulting a cannabis specialist down the street. You’re doing your own research at midnight, trying to separate fact from hype, hoping to find something that actually works without getting yourself in trouble with the law.

That’s exactly why we’re here. We’re OilWell Cannabis, a Houston-based company that ships our open-source, lab-tested Rick Simpson Oil directly to your door in Fleming County — legally, safely, and with complete transparency. This isn’t a sales pitch. It’s an education, built on the same principles that drove our founder Colin Valencia to publish every milligram of our formula publicly: you deserve to know what you’re putting in your body, why it might help, and how to use it responsibly.

Who Was Rick Simpson, and Why Does His Story Matter to Kentucky?

Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor. He wasn’t a scientist. He was a power engineer from Nova Scotia — a blue-collar tradesman who got badly hurt on the job in 1997, suffered a head injury that left him with tinnitus and dizziness, and found that the prescriptions his doctors gave him either didn’t work or made things worse. When he asked his physician about cannabis, the doctor refused to discuss it. Sound familiar, Fleming County? Too many Kentuckians have walked out of a clinic with a bottle of opioids and zero conversation about alternatives.

Simpson’s pivotal moment came in 2003, when he developed basal cell carcinoma on his arm. He’d read about a 1974 NIH study at the Medical College of Virginia showing THC could shrink tumors in mice — research that was never replicated in humans, but that planted a seed. He applied concentrated cannabis oil directly to his lesions, covered them with bandages, and claimed they disappeared in four days. No biopsy. No medical verification. Just his personal testimony. That story, shared in the 2005 documentary Run From The Cure, launched a global movement.

Important context: Simpson’s account is historically significant, but it’s not medical evidence. He had no clinical documentation, no peer-reviewed studies, no independent confirmation. He was an advocate, not a researcher. The cannabis oil he made — what we now call “traditional RSO” — was a crude, unstandardized extract he gave away for free to cancer patients, chronic pain sufferers, and others in his community. He claimed it could help with everything from diabetes to glaucoma, but those claims were built on anecdote, not science.

Traditional RSO: What It Actually Was

To understand why modern formulations matter for Fleming County, you need to know what Simpson was actually making:

• Source material: single high-THC indica strains, whatever he could grow or source locally. No standardization — every batch was different.
• Extraction solvent: naphtha (lighter fluid) or 99% isopropyl alcohol. Neither is food-grade. Naphtha contains benzene, toluene, and other carcinogens. Residual solvent purging was impossible to verify without lab equipment.
• Process: soak plant material, filter, evaporate solvent in a rice cooker. The heat fully decarboxylated all THCa into delta-9 THC and destroyed any terpenes.
• Result: a nearly black, tar-like oil that was 60-90% delta-9 THC, with no lab testing, no contaminant screening, and no consistency from batch to batch.

Why this matters in Kentucky: If you’ve heard about RSO through word-of-mouth in Fleming County, you may have encountered someone making their own version using Simpson’s method. That’s a safety risk. Solvent residues, contamination, and unknown potency aren’t hypotheticals — they’re real dangers when you’re working with petroleum-based chemicals in a home kitchen.

Simpson’s 60-Gram Protocol: The Doses That Shocked Oncology

Simpson recommended consuming 60 grams of oil over 90 days. Let’s be clear about what that means:

• Week 1: start with a half-grain-of-rice-sized dose three times daily (about 30-45mg total per day)
• Weeks 2-5: double the dose every four days
• Weeks 5-12: reach 1 gram per day (about 333mg per dose, three times daily)

At peak dosing, assuming 60-90% THC content, that’s 600-900mg of delta-9 THC per day. The FDA-approved synthetic THC drug dronabinol is typically dosed at 2.5-20mg per day. Simpson’s protocol delivers 30-450 times that amount.

No controlled trial has validated this protocol. There is no safety data for that level of THC exposure. The risks — severe intoxication, anxiety, tachycardia, cannabis use disorder, mental health impacts — are very real. Cancer patients in Fleming County deserve to know that no one has ever proved this protocol works, and the doses are far beyond anything studied in legitimate clinical settings.

The OilWell Story: From a Paralyzed Dog to Precision Medicine

Our company didn’t start in a boardroom. It started with Bentley.

Bentley was Colin Valencia’s dog — more than a pet, he was family. In 2012, Bentley was paralyzed in his hind legs. Vets said euthanasia was the only humane option; pain meds would destroy his organs. Colin had moved cannabis before, but he’d only known it as something to get high. Then a rescue worker named Jessica asked: “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and you’ve never heard of CBD?”

That question changed everything.

Colin made a CBD golden paste for Bentley. The recipe — which we still publish for free — combined turmeric, coconut oil, black pepper, and CBD. Bentley got up. He walked. He brought Colin his ball to play. Dogs don’t respond to placebo. This was real.

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

• Neurodegeneration → CBG for neuroprotection, THCa for PPARγ agonism
• Dementia → CBC for neurogenesis
• Glaucoma → THC for CB1-mediated intraocular pressure reduction
• Arthritis → multi-pathway anti-inflammatory approach using CBD, CBG, THCa, and beta-caryophyllene

Single cannabinoids weren’t enough. Bentley’s conditions required synergy — the entourage effect that research suggests but hasn’t fully proven in humans [20][29]. That decade of formulation work, born from love and necessity, became the foundation of OilWell’s RSO formula.

From Border Violence to Baylor Precision

Colin grew up in McAllen, Texas, right across from Reynosa, Mexico — one of the most economically challenged and dangerous border regions. He saw friends killed and imprisoned. He left home at sixteen. He chose cannabis over darker paths, learning the plant intimately while operating in the shadows before legalization.

Later, he became a formally trained software engineer and did custom development for Baylor College of Medicine. That combination — deep plant knowledge plus medical-grade technical precision — defines our approach. We don’t just make products; we build them with the same rigor that goes into medical software.

Colin’s Personal Battle: PTSD, Benzo Addiction, and Peace

Colin knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He struggled with PTSD and Xanax addiction. When he quit cold turkey — a notoriously dangerous feat — he used the same cannabinoid knowledge he’d developed for Bentley. The Peace Gummies formula was created during midnight experiments while fighting through benzo withdrawal. Colin still uses the vape form to manage his insomnia and severe PTSD.

This isn’t theoretical. We don’t just sell products — we survive on them. That’s why we won’t sell you snake oil. We know what desperation feels like, and we know what real relief feels like. We want you to have the best possible version so you can give it a fair shot and decide if it’s right for you.

Our RSO Formula: The Seven-Cannabinoid Synergy

Traditional RSO was just THC. Our formula is deliberate, evidence-informed, and open-source. Every milligram is published. If you can’t afford it, you can source the ingredients and make your own. That’s the promise we made when we started this company.

RSO Sublingual Oil: 16,590mg of Total Cannabinoids

Price: $129.99 | 30mL bottle (553mg per mL)

Live Terpenes (5%): Limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene, linalool, humulene, terpinolene. Each has preclinical bioactivity, but human evidence is limited [20]-[28]. They make the oil smell and taste better, and they might contribute to the entourage effect — but we’re honest that the science isn’t settled yet.

Base: Organic MCT oil. No solvents. No tar. No residual naphtha.

Dosing: Graduated dropper in 0.1mL increments. Onset 15-45 minutes, duration 4-6 hours, bioavailability 13-19%.

RSO Vape Cartridge: Rapid Relief for Acute Moments

Price: $49.99 | 1-gram cartridge (900mg+ total cannabinoids)

Why vape? When you’re hit with breakthrough pain in Flemingsburg, or a panic attack in Wallingford, or nausea that won’t quit, you need relief in 1-2 minutes, not 45. The vape delivers. It auto-decarboxylates THCa at 400-450°F, so every puff is fully activated. Onset in 1-2 minutes, duration 2-4 hours, bioavailability 10-35% depending on your inhalation technique.

The Decarboxylation Choice: You Control the Psychoactivity

Traditional RSO gave you no choice: it was always psychoactive. Our formula puts that control in your hands — a direct echo of Simpson’s belief that patients should control their medicine, implemented through chemistry, not rhetoric.

Option 1: Raw (Non-Psychoactive)
Take the sublingual oil as-is. The 1,500mg THCa stays acidic. You get anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective benefits with zero impairment. Perfect for daytime use in Fleming County — you can work, drive, parent, function normally.

Option 2: Fully Activated (Home Decarb)
Heat the oil at 260°F (125°C) for 45-60 minutes in an oven-safe glass container. This converts 1,500mg THCa → ~1,315mg delta-9 THC. Combined with the existing 90mg delta-9 THC, you get ~1,405mg total delta-9 THC. That’s full-potency psychoactive RSO, legally created in your own kitchen. You can decarb a small portion and leave the rest raw — the choice is yours.

Option 3: Vape (Instant Activation)
Every puff decarboxylates THCa on contact. Fastest relief, highest bioavailability, perfect for breakthrough symptoms.

The Chemistry: 1mg THCa = 0.877mg delta-9 THC after decarboxylation. We publish the math because you deserve to know exactly what you’re getting.

Farm Bill Compliance: Legal in Kentucky, Shipped to Your Door

Here’s what matters for Fleming County: our product is legal under Kentucky law and ships directly to your address.

Kentucky has a medical cannabis program, but it’s one of the most restrictive in the nation. You qualify only if you have cancer, chronic pain, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, or a few other conditions. You need a doctor’s certification. You must purchase from a state-licensed dispensary — and there likely won’t be one within an hour’s drive of Fleming County. Even when dispensaries open, they’ll sell only THC-only products from state-licensed growers, priced high and tested minimally.

Our RSO is different. It contains less than 0.3% delta-9 THC at the point of sale — 90mg total in a 30mL bottle. It’s hemp-derived, Farm Bill compliant at the federal level, and legal to possess and use in Kentucky. You do not need a medical card. You just need to be 21 or older.

We ship via USPS Priority Mail (2-3 business days), FedEx, or UPS Ground (3-5 business days). Discreet packaging, no cannabis branding visible. Tracking provided. Temperature-stable packaging for Kentucky summers. Signature-required option available.

International shipping? Yes. We’ve delivered to multiple continents. If you’re a Fleming County resident living abroad or have family overseas who need access, we provide full documentation, COAs, and customs paperwork. The customer accepts legal responsibility, but we make the process as transparent as possible.

Open-Source Formulas: Because Accessibility Means More Than Profit

Rick Simpson gave his oil away for free. We can’t do that — we’re a business with lab testing, organic MCT oil, and third-party validation — but we can give you the next best thing: the complete recipe.

If $129.99 isn’t in your budget right now, you can source the individual cannabinoid distillates and isolates from reputable suppliers and make your own version. Every milligram is published above. We don’t hide behind proprietary blends. This is our “Bentley promise” — the same principle that led Colin to publish the CBD golden paste recipe that saved his dog. That recipe is still free on our website, and it’s helped pet owners in Fleming County and beyond.

The Bentley Golden Paste Recipe (Still Free)

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup organic turmeric powder
• 1 cup water
• 1/3 cup unrefined organic coconut oil
• 1-2 tsp freshly ground black pepper (critical for absorption)
• CBD oil (dose by pet weight; consult your vet)

Instructions: Mix turmeric and water over low heat until paste forms (7-10 minutes). Add coconut oil and pepper. Cool, store in fridge for up to 2 weeks. Mix with food, start low, monitor your pet.

This is the foundation of everything we do. We started by saving a dog. Now we’re trying to help people in Fleming County save themselves.

Condition-Specific Guidance for Fleming County

We know the health landscape in rural Kentucky. Opioid addiction has devastated families. Cancer diagnoses often come with long drives to UK Markey Cancer Center or St. Elizabeth in Edgewood. Veterans with PTSD struggle to find specialized care. Chronic pain patients cycle through ineffective prescriptions. Here’s how our RSO might fit — with full honesty about what the evidence actually says.

Chemotherapy-Related Nausea & Appetite
If you’re making the trek from Fleming County to Markey for chemo, nausea can hit hard. Our sublingual oil delivers delta-8 THC (6,000mg) and delta-9 THC (90mg), both with antiemetic evidence [9][13]. Take 0.5-1.0mL sublingually 1 hour before treatment. For breakthrough nausea, 2-3 vape puffs work in 1-2 minutes. Post-chemo, 0.5mL every 6 hours as needed. At bedtime, 1-2mL delivers 25-50mg CBN for sleep — though we acknowledge the sleep evidence for CBN is weak [16][17].

Chronic Pain (Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Neuropathy)
Daytime: 0.3-0.5mL raw sublingual. You get CBD (4,500mg), CBG (3,000mg), and THCa (1,500mg) without impairment. CBD has modest pain evidence [4]; CBG has preclinical anti-inflammatory signals [7]; THCa inhibits COX-2 [12]; beta-caryophyllene activates CB2 receptors [24]. Nighttime: 0.5-1.0mL decarbed sublingual — full cannabinoid activation plus CBN. Breakthrough pain: vape as needed.

Sleep Support
Before bed: 1-2mL sublingual. At 2mL, you get 50mg CBN — the dose investigated in 2024 sleep literature [16]. But we won’t lie: the evidence is thin. Many people report benefits, but the science hasn’t caught up. Try it, see if it works for you, but don’t expect a miracle.

Anxiety & Stress
Daytime functional relief: 0.3mL raw sublingual. CBD has anxiolytic signals in systematic reviews [3]; CBG has pharmacology that might help [7]; limonene may buffer THC-induced anxiety [20]. For daytime use in Fleming County — driving to work in Morehead, managing a farm, running errands — raw THCa means zero impairment.

General Titration Rule: Start low, go slow. Begin 0.25-0.5mL, wait 2-3 hours, assess. Your body weight, metabolism, medications, and tolerance all matter. We can’t give medical advice — consult your healthcare provider, especially if you’re on blood thinners, antidepressants, or other meds that interact with cannabinoids.

Safety: What Kentucky Needs to Know

We don’t bury the risks. Here they are, plain as day:

• Impairment: Delta-8 THC and decarboxylated delta-9 THC will impair you. Don’t drive, operate machinery, or make important decisions while psychoactive. Kentucky DUI laws don’t care if it’s hemp-derived.
• Drug Testing: If you’re subject to workplace testing (many Fleming County employers still test), delta-8 THC and activated delta-9 THC will trigger positive results. Use the raw sublingual option only if you need to stay clean.
• Mental Health: High-concentration THC products are associated with increased psychosis, anxiety, and cannabis use disorder risk [15]. If you have a personal or family history of psychosis, talk to a psychiatrist first.
• Liver: CBD can elevate liver enzymes, especially at high doses or with other medications [6]. If you have liver disease or drink heavily, get labs checked.
• Pregnancy: Don’t use if pregnant or nursing. Cannabinoids cross the placenta and enter breast milk.
• Children: Keep out of reach. Our products are for adults 21+ only.
• Storage: THCa slowly converts to THC over time, even at room temperature. Store in a cool, dark place to preserve the raw form. If you want it activated, heat it intentionally.

Our Media Record: Seven ABC13 Features, Zero Purchased Publicity

From 2019 to 2023, ABC13 Houston featured Colin and OilWell in seven segments. Not because we paid for PR — you can’t buy editorial coverage from a major network affiliate. Because we earned it by being honest, knowledgeable, and community-focused.

September 2019: We explained the CBD boom and introduced our philosophy: “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.” That quote still guides us.

March 2021: We helped launch another entrepreneur’s mobile cannabis business and discussed federal decriminalization. Colin’s line: “Pain comes in a lot of different forms” resonated with viewers dealing with physical and emotional trauma.

May 2021: Steve Campion asked why someone would smoke Delta-8. Colin’s answer — “Maybe you want to get high” — became iconic for its uncensored honesty. The network aired it. Balanced against medical caution from UTHealth and regulatory advocacy from Texans for Responsible Marijuana Policy, it showed we don’t hide from reality.

August 2021: We gave away $35,000 in product — 1,000 caviar pre-rolls — to encourage COVID vaccination in Houston. We coordinated with the city. No politics, just public health.

October 2021: When Texas DSHS classified Delta-8 as Schedule I overnight, we proactively removed all product and warned other operators they were unknowingly shipping narcotics. We absorbed the revenue loss to act ethically.

October 2022: When Biden announced marijuana pardons, ABC13 came to us because Colin has a personal marijuana conviction history. He spoke about housing challenges, banking discrimination, and his wish that people “not get hurt for this anymore.” That personal stake makes every feature more authentic.

April 2023: On 4/20, Colin framed the current moment as a “Renaissance” that should be enjoyed. He explained that Texas has 10,000 active medical cannabis patients while Florida (2/3 the population) has 700,000, showing the untapped demand in states like Kentucky.

Five different reporters sought us out over four years because we tell the truth, even when it’s complicated. That credibility matters when you’re ordering from Fleming County and need to trust that the product matches the label.

Why We Publish Everything: The Bentley Promise

When Colin published the CBD golden paste recipe that saved Bentley, he made a promise: knowledge should be free, even if products aren’t. We’ve kept that promise.

Our complete RSO formulas are public. Every cannabinoid amount, every percentage, every terpene. If you can source distillates and isolates, you can replicate our work. We want you to have options. If $129.99 fits your budget, you get a professionally manufactured, lab-tested, standardized product with support from our team. If it doesn’t, you still get the knowledge to make an informed decision.

That’s the difference between a company and a mission. We’re not here to corner a market. We’re here to fulfill the vision that Rick Simpson started — medicine accessible to everyone — but doing it legally, safely, and transparently.

Final Word to Fleming County

We know Kentucky’s cannabis laws are restrictive. We know your healthcare options are limited. We know that when you’re dealing with cancer, chronic pain, PTSD, or watching a loved one suffer, you’ll search for anything that might help. We’ve been there.

Our RSO formula is not traditional RSO. It’s better: multi-cannabinoid, terpene-enhanced, patient-controlled, lab-tested, and legal. It ships to Fleming County. It doesn’t require a medical card. It puts you in control of whether you get high or stay clear-headed.

The evidence is what it is. CBD and delta-9 THC have the strongest human data. Delta-8 is psychoactive and interesting but less studied. THCa changes with heat. CBG, CBN, and CBC are promising but immature. Terpenes are plausible but not proven. We won’t tell you this cures cancer — because it doesn’t. We won’t tell you it’s risk-free — because it’s not.

What we will tell you is this: You deserve honest information, quality ingredients, and the freedom to choose. That’s what OilWell Cannabis offers Fleming County, Kentucky.
