Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Gibraltar: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis
Why Gibraltar Needs Honest RSO Education
Gibraltar is a place of resilience—where history, culture, and modern life intersect. But for those battling chronic pain, cancer, insomnia, or anxiety, the search for relief can feel isolating. Many in Gibraltar have heard of Rick Simpson Oil (RSO), the legendary cannabis extract that sparked a global movement. Yet, despite its fame, misinformation about RSO is everywhere.
That’s why we created this guide.
At OilWell Cannabis, we don’t just sell RSO—we educate, innovate, and empower. Our founder, Colin Valencia, built this company from hardship, not privilege. From saving his paralyzed dog with CBD to overcoming his own PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction with cannabinoids, OilWell’s story is rooted in real struggle and real solutions.
Now, we’re bringing that same transparency, science, and compassion to Gibraltar.
This guide will:
✅ Explain what RSO really is (and what it isn’t)
✅ Compare traditional RSO vs. modern formulations (like OilWell’s)
✅ Break down the science behind each cannabinoid in our formula
✅ Show you how to use RSO safely and effectively in Gibraltar
✅ Answer legal, dosing, and accessibility questions for Gibraltar residents
By the end, you’ll know exactly how RSO could fit into your wellness routine—or whether it’s right for you at all.
Part 1: The Truth About Rick Simpson Oil (RSO)
Who Was Rick Simpson?
Rick Simpson was a Canadian power engineer who, in 2003, claimed that concentrated cannabis oil removed his skin cancer after conventional medicine failed him. His story, documented in the film Run From The Cure, inspired thousands to try RSO for cancer, chronic pain, and other conditions.
But here’s the crucial context:
- Simpson had no medical training. His evidence was personal testimony, not clinical trials.
- His oil was crude and untested. Made with naphtha (a toxic solvent) and no lab verification.
- His claims were never proven in humans. Preclinical studies show cannabinoids can slow tumor growth in mice, but no human trial has confirmed RSO cures cancer.
Simpson’s legacy isn’t about medical proof—it’s about challenging a broken system and proving that cannabis deserves serious study.
The Problem with Traditional RSO
Simpson’s original oil had major limitations:
| Issue | Traditional RSO | Modern RSO (OilWell’s Approach) |
|---|---|---|
| Solvents | Naphtha (toxic) or isopropyl alcohol | Solvent-free, food-grade MCT oil |
| Cannabinoids | THC-only (60-90% THC) | 7 cannabinoids (CBD, CBG, THCa, etc.) |
| Terpenes | Destroyed by heat | 5% live terpenes (limonene, caryophyllene, etc.) |
| Testing | No lab verification | Third-party tested (COAs available) |
| Dosing | 600-900mg THC/day (risky) | 553mg/mL (precise, controlled) |
| Psychoactivity | Always psychoactive | Patient-controlled (raw THCa = non-psychoactive) |
Bottom line: Traditional RSO was a DIY experiment—not a standardized medicine. Modern RSO fixes these flaws while keeping Simpson’s spirit of accessibility.
Part 2: OilWell’s RSO—Why It’s Different
1. Multi-Cannabinoid Synergy (Not Just THC)
Simpson’s oil was THC-heavy, but science shows that cannabinoids work better together. Our formula includes:
| Cannabinoid | Amount (30mL bottle) | Key Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| CBD | 4,500mg | Reduces anxiety, inflammation, seizures [1][2][3] |
| CBG | 3,000mg | Neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory [7][8] |
| Delta-8 THC | 6,000mg | Less psychoactive than delta-9, may help nausea [9][10] |
| THCa | 1,500mg | Non-psychoactive raw; anti-inflammatory [12] |
| Delta-9 THC | 90mg | Pain relief, appetite stimulation [13][14] |
| CBN | 750mg | May aid sleep (though evidence is limited) [16][17] |
| CBC | 750mg | Anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective [18][19] |
Total cannabinoids per bottle: 16,590mg (553mg/mL)
2. Terpenes for the Entourage Effect
Terpenes are aromatic compounds that enhance cannabinoid effects. Traditional RSO destroyed them, but we include 5% live terpenes with:
| Terpene | Flavor/Effect | Potential Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Limonene | Citrus, uplifting | Mood support, anti-anxiety [21] |
| Myrcene | Earthy, relaxing | Sedation (though human evidence is weak) [23] |
| Caryophyllene | Peppery, spicy | Anti-inflammatory (CB2 agonist) [24] |
| Pinene | Piney, fresh | May improve focus [25] |
| Linalool | Floral, calming | Stress relief [26] |
| Humulene | Earthy, woody | Anti-inflammatory [27] |
| Terpinolene | Fruity, herbal | Antioxidant [28] |
3. Patient-Controlled Potency (THCa Innovation)
Traditional RSO was always psychoactive—but OilWell’s formula lets you decide:
- Raw (non-psychoactive): THCa stays inactive (great for daytime use).
- Decarboxylated (psychoactive): Heat converts THCa to THC (for nighttime or high-potency needs).
- Vape (instant decarb): Auto-converts THCa to THC with each puff.
Conversion math:
1,500mg THCa → ~1,315mg delta-9 THC (when heated)
- 90mg existing delta-9 THC = ~1,405mg total THC (comparable to traditional RSO, but legally compliant).
4. Solvent-Free & Lab-Tested
- No naphtha, no isopropyl alcohol—just organic MCT oil for safety.
- Third-party lab tested for potency, pesticides, heavy metals, and solvents.
- COAs available on request (transparency matters).
Part 3: How to Use RSO in Gibraltar
1. Choosing the Right Format
OilWell offers two RSO products, each for different needs:
| Product | Best For | Onset | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| RSO Sublingual Oil | Long-lasting relief (pain, sleep, anxiety) | 15-45 min | 4-6 hours |
| RSO Vape Cartridge | Fast relief (breakthrough pain, nausea) | 1-2 min | 2-4 hours |
Pro tip: The sublingual oil is ideal for daily use, while the vape is best for acute symptoms.
2. Dosing Guidelines (Start Low, Go Slow)
| Condition | Starting Dose | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Chronic Pain | 0.25-0.5mL (raw) | Increase gradually; combine with CBG for inflammation |
| Sleep | 1.0-2.0mL (decarbed) | Contains 25-50mg CBN (may help sleep) [16][17] |
| Anxiety | 0.3-0.5mL (raw) | CBD + CBG for daytime relief |
| Chemo Nausea | 0.5-1.0mL (decarbed) | Delta-8 THC may help [9] |
| General Wellness | 0.25mL (raw) | Adjust based on tolerance |
Important: These are general guidelines, not medical advice. Always consult a healthcare provider before using RSO, especially if you’re on medications.
3. How to Decarboxylate THCa at Home
To activate THCa into THC:
- Preheat oven to 260°F (125°C).
- Place oil in an oven-safe glass container.
- Heat for 45-60 minutes.
- Let cool before use.
Warning: Decarboxylation makes the oil psychoactive. Do not operate machinery or drive after use.
Part 4: Is RSO Legal in Gibraltar?
Gibraltar’s Cannabis Laws
Gibraltar has strict drug laws, but hemp-derived products (with <0.2% THC) are legal under EU regulations. OilWell’s RSO contains only 90mg delta-9 THC (0.3%), making it Farm Bill-compliant and shippable to Gibraltar.
Key points:
✅ Legal to purchase (hemp-derived, <0.2% THC).
✅ Legal to possess (no prescription needed).
⚠️ Decarboxylation is your responsibility (converting THCa to THC may change legal status).
❌ Not legal for minors (must be 18+).
Shipping to Gibraltar
- Discreet packaging (no cannabis branding).
- Full documentation (COAs, receipts).
- Customs may inspect (customer assumes all legal risk).
For the latest updates, check Gibraltar’s Customs & Excise Department or consult a legal expert.

✔ Chemo nausea (delta-8 THC)
✔ Inflammation (CBC, caryophyllene)
