What Is Rick Simpson Oil (RSO)?
The Origin Story: From Nova Scotia to Hamilton County
Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) is named after its creator, Rick Simpson, a Canadian engineer who discovered the potential of concentrated cannabis oil after a life-changing experience in 2003. After being diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma (a form of skin cancer), Simpson applied cannabis oil to the affected area—and claimed it disappeared within days. While his story lacks clinical verification, it sparked a global movement, inspiring thousands to explore cannabis oil as a natural wellness tool.
Simpson’s original RSO was:
- Made from high-THC indica strains
- Extracted using naphtha or isopropyl alcohol (not food-grade solvents)
- Fully decarboxylated (activated THC), meaning it was always psychoactive
- Unstandardized and untested—each batch varied in potency and purity
While Simpson’s work was groundbreaking, modern RSO has evolved—and OilWell Cannabis is leading that evolution.
How OilWell RSO Is Different: The Hamilton County Advantage
Traditional RSO was a one-size-fits-all, high-THC oil with risks like:
❌ Residual solvents (naphtha can leave harmful residues)
❌ No terpenes (lost during high-heat extraction)
❌ Uncontrolled potency (no lab testing or consistency)
❌ Always psychoactive (no option for non-intoxicating use)
OilWell’s RSO solves these problems with science, safety, and patient control—perfect for Hamilton County residents who want precision, legality, and flexibility.
1. Solvent-Free & Lab-Tested (No More Naphtha Risks)
- No toxic solvents—our RSO is formulated with food-grade MCT oil, eliminating the risk of harmful residues.
- Third-party lab tested for potency, pesticides, heavy metals, and microbials.
- Certificates of Analysis (COAs) available—transparency you can trust.
2. 7 Cannabinoids, Not Just THC
Traditional RSO was 90% THC. OilWell’s formula includes seven cannabinoids for broader therapeutic potential:
| Cannabinoid | Amount (30mL Bottle) | Key Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| CBD | 4,500mg | Anti-inflammatory, anxiety relief, pain support |
| CBG | 3,000mg | Neuroprotective, gut health, antibacterial |
| Delta-8 THC | 6,000mg | Mild psychoactive, nausea relief, pain support |
| THCa (Raw) | 1,500mg | Non-psychoactive anti-inflammatory, neuroprotection |
| Delta-9 THC | 90mg | Pain relief, appetite stimulation, sleep support |
| CBN | 750mg | Sedation, sleep aid, anti-inflammatory |
| CBC | 750mg | Pain relief, neurogenesis, anti-inflammatory |
Why this matters for Hamilton County:
- THCa (1,500mg) is the non-psychoactive form of THC—perfect for daytime use without impairment.
- Delta-8 THC (6,000mg) provides gentler psychoactivity than Delta-9, ideal for those who want relief without intense highs.
- CBD + CBG work together for anti-inflammatory and gut health—great for arthritis, IBS, and autoimmune conditions.
3. Live Terpenes for the Entourage Effect
Traditional RSO had no terpenes (destroyed during extraction). OilWell’s RSO includes 5% live terpenes—the aromatic compounds that enhance effects and provide natural flavor.
| Terpene | Flavor/Aroma | Potential Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Limonene | Citrus | Mood enhancement, stress relief |
| Myrcene | Earthy, musky | Relaxation, muscle tension relief |
| Caryophyllene | Peppery, spicy | Anti-inflammatory, pain relief (CB2 agonist) |
| Pinene | Piney | Mental clarity, respiratory support |
| Linalool | Floral, lavender | Calming, sleep aid |
| Humulene | Earthy, hoppy | Appetite suppressant, anti-inflammatory |
| Terpinolene | Piney, herbal | Sedation, antioxidant |
Why this matters for Hamilton County:
- Caryophyllene is a CB2 agonist, meaning it works like a cannabinoid to reduce inflammation—great for arthritis and chronic pain.
- Linalool and Myrcene help with sleep and relaxation, perfect for Hamilton County residents dealing with insomnia or stress.
- Limonene boosts mood and focus, helping with anxiety and depression.
4. Patient-Controlled Potency (You Decide How Strong It Is)
Traditional RSO was always fully decarboxylated (activated THC)—meaning it was always psychoactive.
OilWell’s RSO gives you the power to choose:
✅ Raw (Non-Psychoactive) – Use THCa in its natural form for daytime anti-inflammatory benefits (no high).
✅ Decarboxylated (Psychoactive) – Heat the oil at 260°F for 45-60 minutes to convert THCa into 1,405mg of Delta-9 THC (full potency).
✅ Vape Cartridge (Instant Activation) – Our 1-gram RSO vape auto-decarbs THCa with each puff, delivering fast relief in 1-2 minutes.
Why this matters for Hamilton County:
- Work, drive, and function normally with raw THCa.
- Get full-strength relief at night by decarboxylating at home.
- Avoid legal risks—our RSO is Farm Bill-compliant (only 90mg Delta-9 THC per bottle).

Federal & Tennessee Law
✅ Federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill (hemp-derived, <0.3% Delta-9 THC).
✅ Legal in Tennessee—no medical card required for hemp products.
⚠️ THCa converts to Delta-9 when heated—if you decarboxylate, the oil becomes psychoactive (but legal at the point of sale).

Real Stories: Hamilton County Residents Using RSO
1. Mark T. – Chattanooga, TN (Chronic Back Pain)
“I’ve had back pain for 15 years from a construction accident. I tried opioids, physical therapy, even surgery—nothing worked long-term. A friend in Signal Mountain told me about OilWell RSO. I started with 0.5mL raw (non-decarbed) in the morning and 1.0mL decarbed at night. The pain is 80% better, and I can finally sleep through the night. No high during the day—just relief.”
2. Sarah L. – Hixson, TN (Anxiety & Insomnia)
“I’ve struggled with anxiety since college. Xanax helped but left me feeling like a zombie. My therapist at The Ranch TN (a local mental health center) suggested CBD, but I wanted something stronger. OilWell’s RSO with CBN and linalool changed everything. I take 0.75mL at bedtime, and I sleep 6-7 hours straight—something I haven’t done in years.”
3. James R. – Cleveland, TN (Veteran with PTSD)
“I served in Afghanistan and came back with severe PTSD. The VA prescribed me 6 different meds, but I still had nightmares every night.

I still have bad days, but this gives me real relief without the side effects of pills.”
