Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Harrison County, Kentucky: The Complete Evidence-Based Guide by OilWell Cannabis

If you’re reading this in Harrison County, Kentucky—whether you’re in Cynthiana, Berry, or out in the rolling farmland between—you’ve likely heard whispers about Rick Simpson Oil. Maybe a neighbor mentioned it at the Ag Expo. Maybe you saw a Facebook post in a local chronic pain support group. Maybe you’re sitting in a waiting room at Harrison Memorial Hospital, waiting on test results, and searching for options that feel more like homegrown medicine than another prescription bottle.

We at OilWell Cannabis understand the weight of that search. We understand the specific challenges folks face here in the Bluegrass region—long drives to specialist care in Lexington or Cincinnati, the opioid crisis that has touched too many Harrison County families, the skepticism that comes naturally when you’ve been let down by systems that promised help. This guide is written for you, your neighbors, and your community. Not with hype. Not with fairy tales. With the full weight of the science we have, the full transparency of our formulas, and the full respect for the fact that you deserve to make informed decisions for yourself and your loved ones here in Harrison County.

The Rick Simpson Story: Why It Matters in Harrison County Before we built our RSO formulas, we studied the history—because history matters, especially in a place like Harrison County where word-of-mouth and community trust carry more weight than any billboard.

Rick Simpson was not a doctor. He was a power engineer from Amherst, Nova Scotia—a tradesman who, in 1997, fell from scaffolding at a hospital in Moncton and suffered a head injury that left him with persistent tinnitus and dizziness. The medications his doctors prescribed either did not help or made things worse. When he asked his physician about cannabis, he was refused. Sound familiar? We’ve heard similar stories from Harrison County residents who’ve been told, flat-out, that cannabis isn’t an option—even when nothing else has worked.

Simpson’s interest in concentrated cannabis oil deepened after he learned about a 1974 study at the Medical College of Virginia (funded by the National Institute of Health) that reported THC slowing or shrinking tumors in mice. That study was intended to demonstrate harm, not benefit, and its findings were never replicated in controlled human cancer trials. But for Simpson, it planted a seed that would change his life—and eventually, the lives of thousands of people across the world, including here in Harrison County.

The Pivotal Moment: 2003

In 2003, Simpson reported that three bumps on his arm were diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma. Rather than pursue conventional treatment, he applied concentrated cannabis oil directly to the lesions, covered them with bandages, and waited. By his account, the bumps disappeared within four days. No biopsy confirmation. No independent medical verification. No peer-reviewed documentation. Just a personal testimony that became the catalyst for a global movement.

Important context: We present Simpson’s account as his personal testimony. The absence of clinical documentation means these events cannot be evaluated as medical evidence. Yet they are historically significant because they sparked a worldwide conversation about cannabis oil that eventually reached Harrison County, Kentucky—through documentaries, online forums, and neighbors helping neighbors.

The Crusade: Spreading the Oil

After 2003, Simpson committed himself to producing and distributing concentrated cannabis oil. He gave it away for free. He never charged cancer patients, chronic pain sufferers, or anyone else who came to his door in Maccan, Nova Scotia. He claimed to help people with cancer, chronic pain, diabetes, infections, glaucoma, arthritis, depression, insomnia, and more—conditions that affect families right here in Harrison County every single day.

His story reached a global audience through the 2005 documentary Run From The Cure, which was distributed freely online. For many people in Harrison County, that documentary—shared via YouTube links or burned DVDs—was their first introduction to the concept of cannabis oil as medicine.

Legal Conflict and Exile

Simpson’s advocacy brought him into direct conflict with Canadian law. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police raided his property in 2005 and again in 2009. He was charged with cultivation, possession, and trafficking. Facing continued legal pressure, he eventually left Canada for Europe, living in Croatia and later the Netherlands, continuing his advocacy from abroad.

That legal risk is part of why we at OilWell operate so differently. We understand the fear that comes with unclear laws. We know Harrison County residents want to know, clearly: Is this legal in Kentucky? We’ll answer that directly in the sections below.

Traditional Rick Simpson Oil: The Product

Traditional RSO was defined by Simpson’s method, not by lab specs. Understanding what it actually was helps Harrison County residents recognize what’s being sold locally—and why our approach is fundamentally different.

Source Material

Simpson used high-THC, indica-dominant cannabis strains. He grew his own or sourced from trusted growers. There was no strain standardization—every batch varied based on availability and growing season. If you’ve ever bought “RSO” from an unregulated source in Kentucky, you’ve experienced that variability firsthand.

Extraction Solvent: A Serious Safety Concern

Simpson originally used naphtha—yes, the petroleum-based lighter fluid you’d find at a hardware store in Cynthiana. He later endorsed 99% isopropyl alcohol. Neither is food-grade. Naphtha may contain benzene, toluene, and other carcinogens. Incomplete solvent purging is difficult to verify without lab testing.

For Harrison County residents considering DIY extraction: this is the single biggest safety risk. We’ll explain later how modern extraction eliminates this danger entirely.

Extraction Process

The traditional process involved:

1. Cannabis material in a bucket
2. Cover with solvent, agitate
3. Filter through cheesecloth
4. Evaporate solvent in a rice cooker
5. Transfer thick, dark oil to syringes

The heat from evaporation (60-80°C) was sufficient to decarboxylate all THCa into delta-9 THC and destroy most volatile terpenes.

Appearance and Physical Characteristics

Traditional RSO was nearly black, thick, tar-like, with a strong cannabis odor and possible solvent-residual smell. It was sticky, difficult to handle, and inconsistent from batch to batch.

Cannabinoid Profile: Uncontrolled

Traditional RSO was:

• Fully decarboxylated (all THCa → delta-9 THC)
• THC-dominant (60-90% estimated, never lab-verified)
• Contained minor cannabinoids at natural, uncontrolled ratios
• No ratio control, no standardization

Terpene Content: Essentially None

The solvent + heat process stripped terpenes completely. Whatever aromatic or bioactive compounds the plant started with were lost.

Standardization and Testing: None

No Certificates of Analysis. No cannabinoid quantification. No contaminant screening for pesticides, heavy metals, or residual solvents. Every batch was different.

Residual Solvent Risk

This cannot be overstated for Harrison County residents. Naphtha is not food-grade. Incomplete purging leaves toxic residues. Modern extraction uses food-grade ethanol or supercritical CO₂ with validated testing.

Simpson’s Claims vs. The Evidence Record

Simpson claimed RSO could cure cancer and many other diseases. He maintained this position consistently. We must evaluate those claims against actual evidence, using the same standards we apply to our own products.

What Simpson Was Not

• Not a scientist, physician, pharmacologist, or researcher
• No formal medical training
• Never designed, conducted, or published a clinical trial
• Never submitted results to peer review
• Evidence base: personal experience and testimonials only—no controls, no verification, no blinding

What the Preclinical Literature Shows

In vitro studies show THC and CBD can induce apoptosis, inhibit proliferation, and reduce angiogenesis in certain cancer cell lines. Animal models show some tumor-growth inhibition. These findings are scientifically interesting and justify continued research—but they are not human cancer cures.

What the Preclinical Literature Does NOT Show

These findings have not translated into proven human cancer cures. No human clinical trial has demonstrated that RSO or any cannabis oil cures cancer. The gap between lab results and human outcomes is vast and well-documented across all oncology research.

Institutional Positions

• U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI): Acknowledges cannabinoid anticancer research in labs and animals but does not endorse cannabis or cannabis oil as cancer treatment .
• FDA: Has not approved any cannabis plant product for cancer treatment. Only Epidiolex (CBD for seizures) and synthetic THC analogues (for chemo nausea/AIDS wasting) are approved [1].
• Health Canada: Never approved RSO or cannabis oil as a cancer cure.
• NCCIH: Strongest evidence is for rare epilepsies, chemo nausea, and HIV/AIDS appetite—not cancer cure [1].

What Simpson Got Right

He drew attention to cannabinoids as serious biomedical research when the world ignored them. He helped create the political and cultural conditions for today’s legal cannabis industry. The term “RSO” remains the most recognized name for full-spectrum cannabis extract. That contribution is real and historically significant—even if his cure claims were not supported by evidence.

What He Overstated

The leap from preclinical signals to cancer cure was not supported then and is not supported now. Encouraging patients—especially cancer patients—to rely on RSO as a primary treatment instead of proven oncologic therapies carries genuine harm potential. Delayed or foregone treatment for treatable cancers is a documented concern in alternative medicine. We say this directly because Harrison County residents facing cancer diagnoses deserve honest information, not false hope.

The Legacy: Why “RSO” Means Everything and Nothing

Today, “RSO” is a generic term. Many products labeled RSO bear no resemblance to Simpson’s original. In dispensaries, it can mean any full-spectrum extract in a syringe—regardless of extraction method, cannabinoid profile, or quality.

Simpson himself has criticized commercial products that depart from his method. His model was anti-commercial: give it away free, teach people to make it themselves. The modern industry commercialized what he distributed freely. Whether that’s an improvement (quality control, testing) or a betrayal (profit, gatekeeping) depends on your perspective.

What is not in dispute: modern RSO has evolved substantially. And those changes matter for Harrison County residents deciding what to trust.

Traditional RSO vs. Modern Formulated RSO

Why OilWell’s Formulas Diverge from Traditional RSO

Our divergence is deliberate and evidence-motivated:

1. Multi-cannabinoid approach. Traditional RSO used whatever single strain was available. Our formula includes seven cannabinoids—CBD, CBG, delta-8 THC, THCa, delta-9 THC, CBN, and CBC—because the entourage-effect literature suggests potential benefit from cannabinoid diversity, even though robust clinical proof of whole-formula synergy remains limited [20][29].

2. Terpene preservation. Traditional RSO had essentially no terpenes. We include live terpenes at 5% with a specific seven-terpene profile—limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene, linalool, humulene, and terpinolene—because terpene bioactivity is plausible and supported at the preclinical level, even if human clinical confirmation for cannabis-specific effects is still developing [20][21][23][24][25][26][27][28][29].

3. THCa as separate ingredient. Traditional RSO fully decarboxylated everything. Our sublingual formula includes THCa at 1,500mg as a distinct ingredient, preserving the acidic precursor because the THCa literature suggests potentially relevant non-psychoactive bioactivity that is lost during conversion [12].

4. Reduced delta-9 THC dominance. Traditional RSO was 60-90% delta-9 THC. Our formula uses only 90mg delta-9 THC total, distributed across CBD (4,500mg), CBG (3,000mg), delta-8 THC (6,000mg), THCa (1,500mg), CBN (750mg), and CBC (750mg). This reflects the broader cannabinoid research landscape rather than single-compound dominance.

5. Product format innovation. Simpson envisioned only oral oil. We offer both 30mL sublingual oil and 1-gram vape cartridge, each with format-specific formulation acknowledging different pharmacokinetic profiles [14].

Solvent Safety and Extraction Evolution

Traditional RSO used naphtha or isopropyl alcohol—neither food-grade. Naphtha may contain benzene, toluene, and other carcinogens. Incomplete purging leaves toxic residues.

Modern extraction uses food-grade ethanol or supercritical CO₂ with validated analytical testing. This is one of the most straightforward safety improvements over traditional methods.

Our RSO is not an extraction product. It is a formulated blend of individual cannabinoid distillates and isolates combined at specific ratios in a controlled environment. No solvents. No naphtha. No risk.

We use organic MCT oil as the carrier—food-grade, facilitates absorption, neutral taste. A dramatic improvement over the tar-like consistency and solvent-residual odor of traditional RSO.

Third-party lab testing covers cannabinoid potency, terpene profile, pesticides, heavy metals, residual solvents, and microbial contaminants. Certificates of Analysis (COAs) are available on request and accessible through our website.

The Decarboxylation Choice: Patient-Controlled Potency

Traditional RSO was always fully decarboxylated—no choice about psychoactivity. Our formula contains 1,500mg THCa, creating three distinct usage options:

Option 1: Raw, No Heat (Non-Psychoactive)
All 1,500mg stays as THCa. The evidence profile suggests anti-inflammatory activity via COX-2 inhibition and neuroprotective potential via PPARγ agonism [12]. Compatible with work, driving, and daytime use in Harrison County with zero impairment.

Option 2: Fully Activated (Home Decarboxylation)
Heat oil at 260°F (125°C) for 45-60 minutes in an oven-safe glass container. Converts 1,500mg THCa → ~1,315mg delta-9 THC. Combined with existing 90mg delta-9 THC = ~1,405mg total delta-9 THC. Plus 6,000mg delta-8 THC. This achieves psychoactive potency comparable to traditional illegal RSO—100% legally, because decarboxylation occurs after purchase at your discretion.

Option 3: Vape (Auto-Decarboxylation)
The vape cartridge vaporizes at 400-450°F, instantly converting THCa to delta-9 THC with each puff. Fastest-onset RSO delivery available.

Conversion Chemistry: THCa molecular weight = 358.47 g/mol. Approximately 1mg THCa = 0.877mg delta-9 THC after decarboxylation (accounting for CO₂ loss).

This design puts potency control entirely in your hands—aligning with Simpson’s principle that patients should control their medicine, but implementing it through chemistry rather than rhetoric.

The OilWell Story: From Bentley to Harrison County, Kentucky

Bentley: The Dog Who Started Everything

OilWell Cannabis did not begin with a business plan. It began with a dog named Bentley.

Bentley was family. When he fell seriously ill, veterinarians delivered the verdict no pet owner in Harrison County wants to hear: euthanasia was the only humane option. Bentley was paralyzed in his back legs. Pain medications would destroy his organs, they said. The choice was painful prolonged decline or immediate mercy killing.

But giving up on Bentley was not an option. In a desperate search for alternatives, Colin Valencia—our founder—stumbled upon CBD through a question that changed everything: “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and you’ve never heard of CBD?”

That question exposed a blind spot. Colin had cannabis experience, but it was recreational. He had never explored therapeutic applications. Determined to save Bentley, he learned to create CBD golden paste—a specialized cannabinoid formula for pets. It was not a cure, but it was hope. And that hope delivered what veterinary medicine said was impossible: Bentley got up, walked over, and brought his ball to play.

From paralyzed and facing euthanasia to fetching his ball. This was not placebo—dogs do not respond to placebo. This was cannabinoid medicine doing what pharmaceuticals could not.

Bentley lived another ten years, passing naturally at age twenty. During those years, Colin developed specialized cannabis formulas for every age-related condition Bentley faced:

• Neurodegeneration → CBG’s neuroprotective properties and THCa’s PPARγ agonism for brain cell protection
• Dementia → CBC’s role in neurogenesis
• Glaucoma → THC’s CB1 agonism for intraocular pressure reduction
• Crippling arthritis → Multi-pathway anti-inflammatory approaches using CBD, CBG, THCa, and beta-caryophyllene working through different receptor systems simultaneously

Single cannabinoids were not enough. Bentley’s evolving conditions required multi-cannabinoid synergy. CBD alone could not address neurodegeneration, dementia, glaucoma, and arthritis simultaneously. Minor cannabinoids became critical. Precision mattered—Bentley’s life depended on formula accuracy, not guesswork.

Bentley’s journey was Colin’s entry into cannabis beyond getting high. It became a mission to create real solutions that alleviate pain and suffering—not just for pets, but for people. Bentley’s story is the foundation of OilWell Cannabis, driving our commitment to quality, innovation, and compassionate care.

Colin’s Personal Journey: PTSD, Benzo Addiction, and Breaking Free

Colin also knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He struggled with PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction. When he decided to break free from Xanax, he did it cold turkey—a feat notoriously difficult and dangerous—using the cannabinoid knowledge he developed keeping Bentley alive.

The Peace Gummies formula that became an OilWell product was created during midnight experiments while fighting through benzo withdrawal. Colin personally uses the vape form to manage his insomnia and severe PTSD on an ongoing basis.

This is not theoretical knowledge. Colin lived what RSO patients live: desperation for relief, failed pharmaceuticals, the discovery that cannabinoids work when pills do not.

From Borderplex to Houston to Harrison County

Colin grew up in McAllen, Texas—right across the river from Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico. The Borderplex is one of the most economically challenged and dangerous regions along the U.S.-Mexico border. By sixteen, Colin had left home, faced every form of violence, and seen friends killed or imprisoned. He chose cannabis over darker paths, learning the plant intimately while operating in the shadows. He later became a formally trained software engineer, doing custom development for Baylor College of Medicine—combining deep plant knowledge with medical-grade technical precision.

That combination defines OilWell’s approach: Houston grit, McAllen roots, and a builder’s mindset applied to cannabinoid medicine. We bring that same combination to Harrison County, Kentucky—not as outsiders, but as people who understand suffering and built a company to address it with integrity.

ABC13 Media Recognition: Verification You Can Trust

Between 2019 and 2023, ABC13 Houston—America’s fourth-largest city’s primary news source—featured Colin and OilWell in seven distinct news segments across five different reporters. When ABC13 needed to explain a new cannabis product, they called Colin. When state agencies reversed Delta-8 legality overnight, they called Colin. When President Biden announced marijuana pardons and they needed someone who had personally lived with a cannabis conviction to provide context, they called Colin.

Seven features, four years, one consistent voice. This is independent, editorially-controlled media validation—not marketing, not press releases. For Harrison County residents evaluating whether to trust a cannabis company, this track record matters.

Key features:

• September 2019: CBD business boom—Colin’s foundational quote: “I’m not trying to sell people snake oil… I’m not trying to sell people hope, but there’s enough research out there that people just need to know and try…”
• May 2021: Delta-8 THC investigation—iconic honesty: “Maybe you want to get high”
• August 2021: $35,000 in products donated to encourage COVID vaccination—real community action
• October 2021: Proactive Delta-8 removal before enforcement—ethical leadership
• October 2022: Biden pardon feature—Colin revealed personal marijuana conviction history, putting every prior quote in deeper context

This media record demonstrates consistency, breadth of expertise, community action, and personal stakes. Recognition that cannot be purchased—it can only be earned.

The OilWell RSO Philosophy: Built for Harrison County

OilWell’s RSO is not traditional Rick Simpson Oil. It is a formulated, multi-cannabinoid product informed by the RSO tradition but departing from it in deliberate, evidence-motivated ways.

Four Core Principles

1. Accessibility over gatekeeping. No medical card required. Anyone age twenty-one or older can purchase. We ship nationwide and internationally. For Harrison County residents—who may not have easy access to dispensaries in Lexington or Louisville—this legal accessibility is critical. You don’t need to drive two hours and navigate a medical program with limited qualifying conditions. You can order directly, legally, from home.

2. Patient-controlled potency. THCa is sold in its acidic, non-psychoactive form. You decide whether to use it raw for daytime function without impairment or decarboxylate it at home for full psychoactive potency. Harrison County residents who work in agriculture, manufacturing, or healthcare understand this: you need options that fit your life, not products that dictate your day.

3. Open-source formulas. We publish our complete formulas publicly—every cannabinoid, every milligram, every percentage. If you cannot afford our products (sublingual oil $129.99, vape cartridge $49.99), you can source ingredients and make your own version. This echoes Simpson’s free-distribution ethos for the modern era.

4. Evidence-informed, not evidence-overstating. The GENERAL KNOWLEDGE section of this document represents our commitment to honest education about what science actually says. Simpson operated without peer-reviewed literature; we have that access and use it to distinguish what is well-supported, emerging, or overstated.

Farm Bill Compliance and Kentucky Legal Framework

The 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight at the federal level. This is the foundation of OilWell’s legal access for Harrison County residents.

Our RSO Sublingual Oil contains only 90mg of delta-9 THC in the entire 30mL bottle—3mg per mL—well under the 0.3% threshold. All cannabinoids are hemp-derived. The product is legal under federal law and in Kentucky.

THCa is legally distinct. It is the acidic, non-psychoactive precursor to delta-9 THC. Our product contains 1,500mg THCa, which is Farm Bill compliant at point of sale. You can legally purchase, possess, and transport it in Harrison County. The conversion to delta-9 THC happens at your discretion through home decarboxylation.

Kentucky-specific legal notice: Kentucky has a medical cannabis program, but it remains restrictive (limited qualifying conditions, few dispensaries). Our hemp-derived RSO is accessible without a medical card. We ship to Harrison County with full documentation, Certificates of Analysis, and receipts. Customers are responsible for understanding and complying with local laws. We cannot ship to jurisdictions where hemp-derived products are prohibited.

Open-Source Formulas: Why We Publish Everything

OilWell publishes complete formulas publicly. The sublingual oil and vape cartridge specifications later in this document are the actual open-source formulas.

The rationale: If you cannot afford our products, you can see exactly what they contain and make your own version. This is a direct echo of Rick Simpson’s original ethos—he gave oil away free and taught people to make it. We adapted that for the modern marketplace: sell a professionally manufactured, lab-tested product for those who want it, and publish the recipe for those who want to DIY.

Bentley’s CBD Golden Paste Recipe—Our First Open-Source Formula

We published this years before the RSO formulas, proving this ethos is foundational, not marketing.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup organic turmeric powder
• 1 cup water
• 1/3 cup coconut oil (unrefined, organic)
• 1-2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper (critical for absorption)
• CBD oil (dosage depends on pet size; consult veterinarian)

Instructions:

1. Mix turmeric and water in saucepan over low heat, stirring continuously until thick paste forms (7-10 minutes)
2. Add coconut oil and black pepper, stir until thoroughly mixed
3. Cool, transfer to jar, refrigerate up to two weeks
4. Add CBD oil to paste before serving, adjusting dosage for pet weight
5. Mix small amount with pet’s food once or twice daily; monitor changes; consult veterinarian

This recipe—the one that saved Bentley—is free for any Harrison County pet owner facing a similar crisis.

When to Use Each Format in Harrison County

Condition-Specific Usage Context for Harrison County

Critical Disclaimer: The following contexts are informed by cannabinoid research cited in this document. They are not medical prescriptions, not FDA-approved, and not a substitute for professional medical care. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before using cannabinoid products, especially if you have a medical condition, take medications, are pregnant or nursing, or have health concerns. Do not operate vehicles or machinery while under the influence of psychoactive cannabinoids.

Chemotherapy-Related Nausea and Appetite Support

• Pre-chemo: 0.5-1.0mL sublingual ~1 hour before treatment
• Acute breakthrough nausea: 2-3 vape puffs for immediate relief
• Post-chemo: 0.5mL sublingual every 6 hours as needed
• Sleep support: 1.0-2.0mL sublingual before bed (delivers 25-50mg CBN)
• Evidence: delta-8 antiemetic [9], delta-9 nausea evidence [1][13], CBD anxiolytic buffering [3]
• Harrison County context: For residents traveling to UK Markey Cancer Center in Lexington or further for treatment, managing chemo side effects at home is critical.

Chronic Pain (Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Neuropathy)

• Daytime functional relief: 0.3-0.5mL raw sublingual—anti-inflammatory without impairment
• Nighttime: 0.5-1.0mL decarbed sublingual—pain relief + CBN sleep support
• Breakthrough pain: Vape as needed
• Evidence: CBD pain [4], delta-9 THC pain [13], caryophyllene CB2 agonism [24], THCa COX-2 inhibition [12]
• Harrison County context: Agricultural work, manufacturing jobs, and physical labor common here. Chronic pain affects many residents who’ve been through the prescription cycle. This offers an alternative.

Sleep Support

• Before bed: 1.0-2.0mL sublingual
• At 2.0mL: Delivers 50mg CBN—the dosage investigated in 2024 sleep literature
• At 1.0mL: Delivers 25mg CBN—above the 20mg threshold associated with reduced sleep disturbance
• Evidence: CBN sleep [16][17], cannabis and sleep review literature
• Harrison County context: Insomnia and sleep disorders are common, especially among aging residents and those with chronic pain.

Anxiety and Stress

• Daytime functional relief: 0.3mL raw sublingual—CBD and CBG address anxiety without impairment
• Nighttime: 1.0mL sublingual—full profile including CBN for sleep architecture
• Evidence: CBD anxiety [3], CBG pharmacology [7][8], limonene entourage effect [20]
• Harrison County context: Economic stress, healthcare access anxiety, and the mental health toll of chronic illness affect many families here.

General Titration Principle for Harrison County

Start low, go slow. Begin with 0.25-0.5mL sublingual and assess effects over 2-3 hours before increasing. Individual responses vary by body weight, metabolism, tolerance, and concurrent medications. For Harrison County residents who may be new to cannabinoids, this conservative approach is especially important.

How Our Formulas Connect to the Evidence

Every cannabinoid in our formula—CBD, CBG, delta-8 THC, THCa, delta-9 THC, CBN, CBC—has its evidence profile in the GENERAL KNOWLEDGE section above. Every terpene—limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene, linalool, humulene, terpinolene—is covered with preclinical and review-level evidence.

We do not exempt ourselves from the same evidence standards applied to the broader field. Where our RSO guide makes specific research claims, this document provides the source evaluation context—the same peer-reviewed citations, the same evidence-tier assessments, the same cautious interpretation framework.

Our position, as stated in 2019: “People deserve the best possible version of the information so they can give it a fair shot and decide for themselves whether it is right or wrong for them.”

This document is the research foundation for that promise to Harrison County.

Terpene Profile (Both Products)

Our defined seven-terpene profile is identical across both sublingual oil and vape cartridge:

• Limonene (citrus-bright): Uplifting aroma, potential mood support [20]-[22]
• Myrcene: Herbal, relaxing notes—often associated with sedation (though human evidence is limited) [20][23]
• Caryophyllene (β-caryophyllene – pepper/spice): Unique CB2 receptor agonist, anti-inflammatory potential [24]
• Pinene (forest-fresh): Fresh pine aroma, potential clarity and respiratory support [20][25]
• Linalool (floral, lavender): Calming floral notes, stress-relief associations [20][22][25][26]
• Humulene (earthy, woody): Earthy depth, anti-inflammatory research interest [20][27]
• Terpinolene (piney, fruity, sparkling): Complex fruity-pine notes, underexplored bioactivity [20][28]

Total terpene content: 5% by volume in both products.

For Harrison County residents familiar with local flora—pine forests, lavender fields, citrus from backyard trees—these aromas create a sensory connection to home while delivering potential entourage benefits.
