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

For folks here in Greene County — whether you’re tending crops outside Jasonville, working a shift in Linton, or caring for family near Shakamak State Park — you’ve probably heard the term “RSO” floating around. Maybe a neighbor mentioned it at the feed store. Maybe you saw it in an online forum while researching options for chronic pain, cancer support, or sleep that just won’t come. Maybe you’re one of the many veterans in our community who’ve heard other vets talk about what works when the pills from the VA don’t.

We wrote this guide because Greene County deserves honest, complete information about Rick Simpson Oil. Not hype. Not miracle stories. Just the facts — grounded in the science we have, respectful of the science we don’t, and shaped by the real-life experiences of people who’ve turned to cannabinoids when conventional medicine fell short.

Who is Rick Simpson, and Why Does His Story Matter Here in Greene County?

Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor. He was a blue-collar power engineer from Nova Scotia — not so different from the tradespeople and farmers who keep Greene County running. In 1997, he fell from scaffolding at a hospital job, suffered a serious head injury, and found that the medications doctors prescribed either didn’t work or made him worse. When he asked his physician about cannabis, the doctor refused to discuss it. Sound familiar? That’s a conversation many Hoosiers have had with their own doctors, especially here where medical cannabis remains out of reach.

Simpson’s pivotal moment came in 2003 when he claimed that applying concentrated cannabis oil to basal cell carcinoma lesions on his arm made them disappear within four days. Important context: No biopsy confirmed this, no independent medical verification was published, and no clinical trial has ever replicated the outcome. But that personal experience lit a fire. He began producing oil in his garage — using naphtha or isopropyl alcohol as solvents, evaporating it in a rice cooker — and giving it away for free to cancer patients, chronic pain sufferers, and anyone who asked. He believed it could help with everything from diabetes to glaucoma, arthritis to insomnia.

By 2005, his story reached millions through the documentary Run From The Cure. By 2009, the RCMP had raided his property twice. He eventually left Canada for Europe, continuing his advocacy from abroad. In 2012, he published Phoenix Tears, documenting his method and his worldview.

What Simpson Got Right vs. What He Overstated

What he got right: Simpson forced the world to pay attention to cannabinoids when almost nobody else would. He created the cultural space that made today’s legal hemp industry — and products like ours — possible. The term “RSO” remains the most recognized name for full-spectrum cannabis extract because of his grassroots movement.

What he overstated: The claim that RSO can cure cancer has never been proven in human clinical trials. The National Cancer Institute acknowledges preclinical research showing THC and CBD can induce apoptosis and inhibit tumor growth in cell lines and animal models, but explicitly states this has not translated to proven human cancer cures. The FDA has never approved cannabis plant material for cancer treatment. Health Canada has never approved RSO for cancer.

For Greene County residents facing cancer diagnoses at regional centers in Bloomington or Indianapolis, this matters. We owe you the truth: RSO may help with symptom management — nausea from chemo, pain, sleeplessness — but it should never replace proven oncologic treatments like surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy. Delaying treatment can cause irreversible harm.

Traditional RSO vs. Modern Formulated RSO: Why Greene County Deserves Better

The original RSO Simpson made was crude — nearly black, tar-like, with no standardization. Every batch was different. No lab testing. No terpenes left after the high-heat process. Residual solvent risk from naphtha or isopropyl alcohol. Potency? Unknown. Safety? A gamble.

Most products labeled “RSO” in dispensaries today bear little resemblance to what Simpson actually made. That’s not necessarily bad — modern extraction is safer — but it means the term has become generic.

Here’s how OilWell’s RSO consciously diverges from tradition, designed specifically for discerning consumers who want precision, safety, and control:

The OilWell Story: From a Paralyzed Dog to Greene County Doorsteps

OilWell wasn’t born in a boardroom. It was born in a Houston kitchen, trying to save a dog named Bentley.

Bentley was Colin Valencia’s companion — family. When vets 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 made a CBD golden paste. Bentley got up, walked across the room, and brought his ball to play. That was the moment. Dogs don’t respond to placebo. This was real.

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

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

Single cannabinoids weren’t enough. Bentley’s evolving conditions required multi-cannabinoid synergy. That’s why OilWell’s RSO contains seven cannabinoids — not marketing, but necessity born from keeping a loved one alive.

Colin also knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He struggled with PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction. When he quit Xanax cold turkey — notoriously difficult and dangerous — he used the same cannabinoid knowledge. The Peace Gummies formula was created during midnight experiments fighting benzo withdrawal. He personally uses the vape form for insomnia and severe PTSD. This isn’t theoretical. Colin lived what RSO patients live.

Houston Roots, Greene County Reach

OilWell operates from Montrose, Houston — 810 Richmond Avenue. We’ve been here since 2019, generate ~$1M annual revenue, maintain a near-5.0 Google rating, and hold a Texas DSHS license. All artwork, formulations, and packaging are created in-house in Houston. But our mission extends far beyond Texas.

We ship nationwide. We ship internationally. And yes — we ship to Greene County, Indiana.

Whether you’re in Linton, Jasonville, Bloomfield, Worthington, or out in the rural stretches where the nearest dispensary might be hours away in Illinois or Michigan, we can get our products to you. No medical card required. Just age 21+.

The THCa Legal Framework: How It’s Legal for Greene County

The 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC. Our sublingual oil contains only 90mg of delta-9 THC in the entire 30mL bottle — well under that threshold.

THCa (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is the game-changer. It’s the acidic, non-psychoactive precursor to THC. At the point of sale, THCa is Farm Bill compliant because it’s not THC yet.

Here’s what this means for you in Greene County:

• Buy it legally — The product ships to your door with full documentation, COAs, and receipts
• Use it raw — Keep THCa in its non-psychoactive form for daytime anti-inflammatory benefits without impairment
• Activate it at home — Heat the oil at 260°F for 45-60 minutes to convert 1,500mg THCa into ~1,315mg delta-9 THC, giving you psychoactive potency comparable to traditional illegal RSO
• Vape for instant relief — Our vape cartridge auto-decarbs THCa at 400-450°F, delivering effects in 1-2 minutes

Conversion math: 1mg THCa = 0.877mg delta-9 THC after decarboxylation. Combined with the existing 90mg delta-9, fully activated oil yields ~1,405mg total delta-9 THC per bottle.

You control the potency. Not us. Not the government. You.

Why We Publish Our Formulas: The Open-Source Promise

Rick Simpson gave his oil away for free. We can’t do that at scale, but we can do the next best thing: publish our exact formulas so if you can’t afford our products, you can source the ingredients and make your own.

This isn’t marketing. It’s our core principle. It started with Bentley’s CBD golden paste recipe (which we still publish for free), and it extends to our RSO formulas.

RSO Sublingual Oil Formula — Full Transparency

• Live Terpenes: 5% (limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene, linalool, humulene, terpinolene)
• Carrier: Organic MCT oil
• Volume: 30mL (553mg/mL)
• Onset: 15-45 minutes sublingual
• Duration: 4-6 hours
• Doses: 40-60 per bottle

RSO Vape Cartridge Formula

• Live Terpenes: 5%+
• Format: 1g cartridge
• Onset: 1-2 minutes
• Duration: 2-4 hours
• Compatibility: Standard 510-thread batteries

Both formulas have been featured on ABC13 Houston across seven news segments from 2019-2023. Five different reporters sought us out because we tell the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable.

The Science Behind Each Ingredient: What Greene County Should Know

We don’t hide behind proprietary blends. Every compound has a research profile — here’s the honest assessment:

CBD (4,500mg)

Best evidence: Seizure disorders (FDA-approved Epidiolex). Emerging: Anxiety (2024 meta-analysis shows anxiolytic signal but small sample), chronic pain (promising but heterogeneous data), sleep (weak methodology in most studies). Safety: Liver enzyme elevation possible; drug interactions likely. This is the most evidence-backed non-psychoactive cannabinoid in our formula, but even here, strong evidence is narrow.

CBG (3,000mg)

Status: Research is preclinical and review-level. Described as a CB2 and 5-HT1A modulator with potential neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. Reality: Commercially sold while evidence is thin. We include it because Bentley’s neurodegeneration taught us its value, but we won’t overstate the science.

Delta-8 THC (6,000mg)

Pharmacology: Partial CB1 agonist, less potent than delta-9 but still psychoactive. Evidence: Dominated by animal studies and public health reviews. Concerns: Manufacturing quality varies; adverse events reported. Our stance: It’s not “diet weed” — it’s real medicine with real effects, and we treat it that way.

THCa (1,500mg)

This is your control knob. Non-psychoactive raw. Convert to ~1,315mg delta-9 THC at home. Anti-inflammatory via COX-2 inhibition, neuroprotective via PPARγ — but only if you don’t heat it. The most innovative feature of our product, giving Greene County residents legal access to potency that was impossible before.

Delta-9 THC (90mg)

Total in entire bottle: 90mg. Simpson’s protocol called for 600-900mg per day. We’ve dramatically reduced delta-9 exposure while preserving therapeutic potential through the other cannabinoids. Evidence: Strong for chemo nausea, HIV appetite; modest for chronic pain; clear risks for psychosis, CUD, anxiety at high doses.

CBN (750mg)

The sleep myth: Marketed as “the sleep cannabinoid,” but the 2021 review found zero clinical trials using validated sleep measures. The 2024 sleep literature update confirms the evidence base remains weak. We include 750mg (25mg/mL) because it’s what the research has investigated, not because it’s proven.

CBC (750mg)

Emerging research: 2024 review highlights antinociceptive, antibacterial, anti-seizure potential. Distinct pharmacology from CBD/THC. Status: Commercially sold despite thin evidence. We include it for its unique pathway, not because it’s established.

Terpenes: The Aromatic Dimension

Our 7-terpene profile (limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene, linalool, humulene, terpinolene) provides citrus brightness, forest freshness, and peppery depth. Science status: Plausible bioactivity, especially caryophyllene’s CB2 agonism, but human clinical proof is limited. They’re here for the entourage hypothesis and the sensory experience, not as primary actives.

When to Use Which Format: Greene County Scenarios

Living in Greene County means different needs at different times:

• Fast relief from breakthrough pain (after a long day on the farm): Vape — 1-2 minute onset
• Sustained relief through the night: Sublingual — 4-6 hour duration
• Working around heavy machinery or driving to Terre Haute: Raw sublingual (non-psychoactive) — zero impairment
• Evening wind-down when you want psychoactive comfort: Decarboxylated sublingual — full potency
• Precise dosing for sensitive systems: Sublingual with graduated dropper (0.1mL increments)
• Discreet use at family gatherings: Vape — looks like any vape pen

Condition-Specific Guidance for Greene County Residents

Important: This is educational context based on research, not medical advice. Consult your healthcare provider. Do not operate vehicles while impaired.

Cancer Support During Chemo

We know many Greene County residents travel to IU Health or regional oncology centers. Our formula’s delta-8 THC and delta-9 THC have documented antiemetic properties. Protocol suggestion: 0.5-1.0mL sublingual 1 hour before treatment; vape for breakthrough nausea; 1-2mL at night for sleep (delivering 25-50mg CBN). Evidence: Delta-8 antiemetic studies [9], delta-9 chemo nausea approval [1][13], CBD anxiety buffering [3].

Chronic Pain (Agricultural, Industrial, Arthritis)

Greene County’s economy runs on physical labor. Daytime: 0.3-0.5mL raw sublingual for anti-inflammatory effects without impairment (CBD, CBG, THCa COX-2 inhibition, caryophyllene CB2). Nighttime: 0.5-1.0mL decarbed for full relief plus CBN sleep support. Breakthrough: Vape as needed. Evidence: CBD pain [4], delta-9 pain [13], caryophyllene CB2 [24].

Sleep Disorders

Before bed: 1.0-2.0mL sublingual delivers 25-50mg CBN. At 2.0mL, you’re at the dosage level investigated in 2024 sleep literature. Expectation management: CBN evidence is weak, but the full cannabinoid profile plus terpenes (myrcene, linalool) may support sleep architecture.

PTSD and Anxiety

Greene County has veterans and trauma survivors who need options beyond pharmaceuticals. Daytime functional: 0.3mL raw sublingual (CBD, CBG, limonene) without psychoactivity. Nighttime: 1.0mL full profile including CBN. Evidence: CBD anxiety [3], CBG pharmacology [7][8], Colin’s personal benzo withdrawal success.

The ABC13 Record: Seven Features, Four Years, One Voice

Between 2019-2023, ABC13 Houston featured us seven times. Five different reporters sought us out. Why? Because we tell the truth.

September 2019: “I’m not trying to sell people snake oil… there’s enough research that people just need to know and try and have the best possible version.” — That quote still defines us.

May 2021: When asked “Why would someone want to smoke that?” Colin answered: “I don’t give a sh** if it’s wrong to say you’ll get high off it. Maybe you want to get high.” Uncensored honesty on mainstream TV.

August 2021: We gave away $35,000 in product to encourage COVID vaccination in Houston — no political agenda, just community health.

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

October 2022: Colin revealed his personal marijuana conviction history. “I would love to see people not get hurt for this anymore.” This is personal.

April 2023: “Right now is actually a pretty — like Renaissance — pretty important time that should be enjoyed now.” We’re building the future, not waiting for permission.

This is the media record no other cannabis company in Houston — or most places — can match. It’s recognition that cannot be purchased. It can only be earned.

Competitive Landscape: Why OilWell Stands Out (Without Naming Names)

In Greene County, you might encounter:

Medical dispensary RSO (if you travel to Illinois/Michigan): Single cannabinoid (THC-only), requires medical card, can’t cross state lines, no patient-controlled potency.

Hemp CBD RSO: Typically 1,000mg total cannabinoids vs. our 16,590mg. No psychoactive option. No CBN/CBC. No terpene preservation.

Traditional illegal RSO: Unstandardized, solvent risks, unknown potency, legal danger.

OilWell RSO: Seven defined cannabinoids, customer-controlled THCa activation, solvent-free, lab-tested, ships legally to your Greene County door.

The Greene County Difference: Why This Matters Locally

Greene County is agricultural. You understand soil, seasons, and that what you put in matters for what you get out. You also understand hardship — the county has faced economic challenges, out-migration, and limited healthcare access. The nearest comprehensive cancer center might be a two-hour drive. The local pharmacy might not stock what you need. And the cost of prescriptions — especially for chronic conditions — can be crushing.

Our open-source formula philosophy directly addresses this. If $129.99 for a bottle that lasts 40-60 doses is out of reach, you can source the distillates and make it yourself. We give you the recipe because Rick Simpson gave his away. Because Bentley needed it. Because Colin knows what it’s like to be desperate and have nowhere to turn.

We also understand that Greene County values straight talk. No fluff. No bull. Just the facts. That’s why we:

• Tell you exactly what’s in every bottle
• Show you the research (29 peer-reviewed citations)
• Admit when evidence is weak (CBN sleep claims)
• Warn about risks (high-dose THC mental health concerns)
• Publish our founder’s conviction history
• Put our home address and phone number on everything

Safety and Responsibility for Greene County Users

• Age 21+ only
• Do not drive or operate machinery after consuming activated (decarbed) product
• Start low, go slow: Begin with 0.25-0.5mL (138-277mg cannabinoids) and assess effects over 2-3 hours
• Consult your doctor: Especially if on medications, pregnant, nursing, or have liver conditions
• Drug testing: THCa in raw form won’t trigger tests, but delta-8 and activated THCa will. Be honest with employers.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets: This is concentrated medicine
