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

For folks in Gove County dealing with cancer, chronic pain that won’t quit, PTSD that keeps you up at night, or the nightmare of trying to taper off prescription meds—this is the straight talk you’ve been looking for. We’re OilWell Cannabis, based in Houston, Texas, and we’ve spent years building something that actually works: a modern, legal, fully transparent RSO formula that puts control back in your hands. No medical card required. No guesswork. Just research-backed cannabinoids, lab-tested precision, and the same open-source philosophy that made Rick Simpson a legend.

If you’re reading this in Quinter, Grainfield, Park, or out on a farm north of the Smoky Hill River, you already know what it means to be self-reliant. You fix what breaks. You don’t wait for permission. And when the medical system falls short—when the nearest pain clinic is a three-hour drive to Hays or Denver—you find solutions that work for you. That’s exactly what this guide is about.

What Rick Simpson Oil Actually Is (And Why It Matters in Gove County)

Who Was Rick Simpson?

Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor. He wasn’t a scientist. He was a power engineer from Nova Scotia—a tradesman who got hurt on the job in 1997, suffered brutal post-concussion symptoms, and watched the medical system throw pills at him that didn’t help. Sound familiar? Out here in Gove County, we’ve all seen friends and family get caught in that same cycle after a farm injury or a car wreck on Highway 40.

When his doctor refused to even discuss cannabis, Simpson took matters into his own hands. In 2003, he claimed that applying concentrated cannabis oil to three skin lesions made them disappear in four days. Here’s the critical part: no biopsy, no independent verification, no clinical trial. It was personal testimony—historically significant as the spark for a global movement, but not medical evidence. That distinction matters, especially when you’re making decisions about cancer treatment.

Why the RSO Story Resonates in Rural Kansas

Simpson’s journey from desperation to advocacy mirrors what’s happening in communities like Gove County right now. When the only oncologist is three counties away, when you’re facing a terminal diagnosis and hearing “there’s nothing more we can do,” you start looking for alternatives. Simpson gave his oil away for free to cancer patients, chronic pain sufferers, people with diabetes, arthritis, depression—exactly the conditions that plague rural Kansas. He didn’t charge a dime. He just wanted people to have access.

That’s the spirit we built OilWell on. But we also know that Gove County folks are smart enough to ask: What’s actually in this stuff? Is it safe? Does it work? So we’re going to give you what Simpson couldn’t: hard numbers, lab tests, and honest science.

The Traditional RSO Protocol (And Why It Needs an Update)

Simpson’s 60-Gram, 90-Day Regimen

Simpson’s protocol was specific: start with a dose the size of half a grain of rice, three times a day. Double it every four days. Work up to 1 gram of oil daily—split into three doses—until you’ve consumed 60 grams. That’s roughly 600-900 mg of delta-9 THC per day at peak dosing.

Important context for Gove County readers:

• No clinical trials ever validated this protocol
• The oil was crude, unstandardized, and varied wildly between batches
• At 600-900 mg of THC daily, you’re looking at severe impairment, potential for anxiety/panic, tachycardia, and cannabis use disorder
• For cancer patients in Gove County who might be driving to Greeley County Hospital or managing livestock, that level of psychoactivity is dangerous

The Problem with Traditional RSO

Traditional RSO had serious flaws:

• Solvent risk: Naptha or 99% isopropyl alcohol extraction—neither food-grade. Naptha can contain benzene and toluene. Residual solvents are nearly impossible to purge without lab equipment.
• No terpenes: The high-heat process destroyed the plant’s aromatic compounds, which emerging research shows may contribute to therapeutic effects.
• No standardization: Every batch was different. No lab tests, no cannabinoid percentages, no way to know what you were getting.
• THC dominance: 60-90% delta-9 THC, with minor cannabinoids present only at whatever ratios the plant happened to have.

Out here where quality control matters—whether you’re buying seed or supplements—that kind of variability is unacceptable.

How OilWell’s RSO Is Different (And Why That Matters for Kansas)

We built our formula to fix what Simpson got wrong while honoring what he got right. Here’s the side-by-side comparison:

Why We Use Multiple Cannabinoids

When Bentley—Colin’s dog who started this whole journey—developed neurodegeneration, dementia, glaucoma, and arthritis, CBD alone couldn’t touch it all. We needed CBG for neuroprotection, THCa for inflammation, CBC for neurogenesis, and a symphony of other compounds working together. That’s the reality for Gove County patients too: chronic pain rarely travels alone. It brings insomnia, anxiety, depression. A single cannabinoid can’t address that complexity.

Our formula distributes the therapeutic load:

• CBD (4,500 mg): Strongest human evidence for seizures, anxiety, pain [1]-[4]
• CBG (3,000 mg): Promising for neurologic disorders, IBD—review-level evidence [7][8]
• Delta-8 THC (6,000 mg): Antiemetic, less potent than delta-9—real pharmacologic activity [9]
• THCa (1,500 mg): Non-psychoactive anti-inflammatory via COX-2 inhibition [12]
• Delta-9 THC (90 mg): Just enough for entourage effect, not enough to impair
• CBN (750 mg): Sleep support—plausible but still developing evidence [16][17]
• CBC (750 mg): Neurogenesis, anti-inflammatory—preclinical but promising [18][19]

The Decarboxylation Choice: Your Power in Gove County

Here’s the game-changer: We sell THCa in its raw, non-psychoactive form. You decide whether to activate it.

Option 1: Raw (No Heat)

• All 1,500 mg stays as THCa
• Zero impairment—work your fields, drive to Quinter for supplies, parent your kids
• Delivers anti-inflammatory benefits via COX-2 pathway

Option 2: Activate at Home

• Heat oil at 260°F for 45-60 minutes
• Converts 1,500 mg THCa → ~1,315 mg delta-9 THC
• Total THC becomes ~1,405 mg (plus 6,000 mg delta-8)
• Now you have full-potency psychoactive RSO, legally, because you did the activation

This matters in Gove County where you might need daytime pain relief that doesn’t interfere with operating equipment, but nighttime relief that helps you sleep through the pain. One product serves both needs.

Safety First: What Gove County Needs to Know

Farm Bill Compliance in Kansas

The 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp products with less than 0.3% delta-9 THC. Our sublingual oil contains 90 mg total delta-9 THC in a 30 mL bottle—well under the federal limit. It’s hemp-derived. It’s legal to purchase, possess, and ship to Gove County.

Important: Kansas law mirrors federal Farm Bill language. You’re covered. We provide full COAs with every order—documentation you can show law enforcement if needed.

No Solvents, No Surprises

We don’t extract with naptha or butane. We blend purified cannabinoid distillates in organic MCT oil. Every batch tests for:

• Potency (±2% accuracy)
• Heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury)
• 400+ pesticides
• Residual solvents (FDA Class 3 limits)
• Microbial contaminants (E. coli, Salmonella, Aspergillus)

You can’t get that assurance from someone making RSO in their garage in Grinnell. We publish the COAs. You verify for yourself.

Drug Testing Reality Check

If you’re subject to workplace drug testing—whether at the hospital in Oakley, the school district, or operating farm equipment—THCa in its raw form will NOT cause a positive test. However, delta-8 THC and activated delta-9 THC WILL trigger positive results.

We’re honest about this. If your job depends on passing tests, use the raw form or discuss with your employer. No sugar-coating. That’s the OilWell way.

• Keep vape cartridge for breakthrough nausea in the parking lot
• Nighttime: 1-2 mL sublingual delivers 25-50 mg CBN for sleep

For chronic pain from decades of farm work:

• Daytime: 0.3-0.5 mL raw sublingual (no high, drives equipment safely)
• Nighttime: 0.5-1.0 mL decarbed sublingual + CBN for rest
• Breakthrough: Vape as needed

For anxiety and PTSD (especially veterans):

• Start with 0.25 mL raw sublingual twice daily
• Gradually increase over 2-3 weeks
• Vape for acute panic attacks

For sleep issues (common in rural Kansas):

• 1-2 mL sublingual before bed delivers clinical-level CBN
• Consistency matters—take same time nightly

General rule: Start low, go slow. Every body is different. What works for your neighbor in Park may not work for you.

Our Story: From a Paralyzed Dog to Gove County

Bentley’s Miracle

Bentley was Colin’s dog—more family than pet. When veterinarians said euthanasia was the only humane option for his paralysis, Colin refused. A rescue worker named Jessica asked the question that changed everything: “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and you’ve never heard of CBD?”

Colin created a CBD golden paste. Bentley got up. Walked. Brought his ball to play. Dogs don’t respond to placebo. That was real. Bentley lived ten more years, dying naturally at age 20. During those years, Colin developed formulas for every condition Bentley faced—neurodegeneration, dementia, glaucoma, arthritis. That decade of real-world R&D is what you’re getting in every bottle.

From McAllen to Montrose to Gove County

Colin grew up in McAllen, Texas—one of the most dangerous border regions in America. He’s seen friends killed, imprisoned, lost to violence. He left home at sixteen. He became a software engineer, worked for Baylor College of Medicine, and built OilWell from the ground up—not in a boardroom, but in a Houston dispensary where real people needed real help.

He also knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. PTSD and Xanax addiction. He quit benzos cold turkey using the same cannabinoid knowledge that saved Bentley. The Peace Gummies formula? Created during midnight experiments in benzo withdrawal. He still uses the vape form for his own PTSD and insomnia. This isn’t theoretical. It’s survival.

Seven Times on ABC13 Houston

Between 2019 and 2023, ABC13 featured Colin in seven news segments. They didn’t call him because he’s a smooth talker. They called because when Delta-8 became illegal overnight, he already pulled his products and warned other operators. Because he gave away $35,000 in product to encourage COVID vaccinations. Because when Biden announced marijuana pardons, Colin revealed his own conviction history and said, “I would love to see people not get hurt for this anymore.”

That’s the kind of honesty Gove County respects.

The Science Behind Every Ingredient

CBD (4,500 mg)

What’s proven: Seizure disorders (Epidiolex), moderate evidence for anxiety and pain [1]-[4]
What’s overstated: Universal “cure-all” claims—human evidence is condition-specific
Safety: Can elevate liver enzymes; watch interactions with farm chemicals or other meds [6]

CBG (3,000 mg)

What’s known: Biosynthetic precursor, interacts with CB1/CB2 and other receptors [7][8]
What’s promising: Neurologic disorders, inflammatory bowel disease [7]
Reality check: Human trials are sparse; it’s commercially sold ahead of the science [7][8]

Delta-8 THC (6,000 mg)

What’s proven: Antiemetic properties, partial CB1 agonist (less potent than delta-9) [9]
What’s concerning: Public health data shows adverse events; manufacturing quality varies [10]
Bottom line: Real pharmacologic activity, not “diet weed”—use with awareness [9]-[11]

THCa (1,500 mg)

What’s proven: Non-psychoactive precursor; converts to THC with heat [12]
What’s promising: COX-2 inhibition (anti-inflammatory), PPARγ agonism (neuroprotective) [12]
Critical for Kansas: Raw form = legal, non-impairing option for daytime farm work

Delta-9 THC (90 mg)

What’s proven: Chemo nausea, HIV appetite, some pain and MS symptoms [1][13]
What’s risky: High doses linked to psychosis, anxiety, dependence [15]
Our approach: Minimal amount for entourage effect, not enough to cause significant impairment

CBN (750 mg)

What’s marketed: Sleep aid
What’s actually known: No clinical trials with validated sleep measures [16]
Our take: Included for theoretical benefit and emerging research, but we’re honest about the gap

CBC (750 mg)

What’s promising: Neurogenesis, anti-inflammatory, anti-seizure [18][19]
Reality: Over-the-counter products sold despite minimal clinical evidence [18]
Why we include: Distinct pharmacology complements other cannabinoids; deserves more study

Terpenes (5% live blend)

The truth: Preclinical and essential oil research dominates; human cannabis-specific data is limited [20]
Why we include: Aroma, flavor, plausible bioactivity; the entourage effect is plausible but not proven [20][29]
Our promise: We’ll never claim terpenes are proven miracle workers
