What Is Rick Simpson Oil (RSO)?
The Origin Story: One Man’s Fight Against the System
Rick Simpson was a Canadian power engineer who, after a workplace accident in 1997, suffered from chronic tinnitus, dizziness, and post-concussion symptoms that conventional medicine couldn’t treat. When his doctor refused to prescribe cannabis, Simpson began researching alternatives—and discovered that THC (the psychoactive compound in cannabis) had been shown in a 1974 NIH study to slow tumor growth in mice.
In 2003, Simpson claimed that applying concentrated cannabis oil to his skin cancer lesions made them disappear within days. While this was never medically verified, his story spread globally through the 2005 documentary Run From The Cure, inspiring thousands to try RSO for cancer, chronic pain, and other conditions.
Simpson’s core beliefs:
✔ Cannabis oil could cure cancer and other diseases (though human evidence remains limited).
✔ Big Pharma and governments were suppressing this knowledge.
✔ Patients should have free access to cannabis medicine—he gave his oil away for free and taught others how to make it.
The Problem with Traditional RSO
While Simpson’s advocacy was groundbreaking, his method had serious limitations:
| Issue | Traditional RSO | OilWell’s Modern RSO |
|---|---|---|
| Source Material | Single high-THC strain (unpredictable) | 7 cannabinoids (CBD, CBG, Delta-8, THCa, Delta-9, CBN, CBC) |
| Extraction Solvent | Naphtha or isopropyl alcohol (toxic residues) | Solvent-free, food-grade MCT oil |
| Terpenes | Destroyed by heat (no entourage effect) | Live terpenes (5%) for enhanced benefits |
| Potency | Unknown (60-90% THC, no lab testing) | 16,590mg total cannabinoids (553mg/mL) |
| Decarboxylation | Always fully activated (psychoactive) | Patient-controlled: Raw (non-psychoactive) or decarbed (psychoactive) |
| Lab Testing | None | Full-panel COAs (pesticides, heavy metals, solvents) |
| Dosing | Approximate (syringe-based) | Precise (0.1mL dropper increments) |
Bottom line:
Traditional RSO was unstandardized, untested, and risky—but it sparked a movement that led to modern, science-backed formulations like OilWell’s.
Why OilWell’s RSO Is Different (And Better) for Henderson County
1. A Formula Built on Real Science & Real Stories
OilWell wasn’t founded in a boardroom—it started with a dog named Bentley.
Colin Valencia, OilWell’s founder, grew up in McAllen, Texas, near the Mexican border, where he saw firsthand how poverty, violence, and lack of healthcare shaped lives. When his beloved dog Bentley became paralyzed and was given weeks to live, Colin refused to accept euthanasia as the only option.
After a friend asked, “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and never heard of CBD?”, Colin researched, formulated a CBD golden paste, and Bentley got up and walked again.
That moment changed everything. Over the next 10 years, Colin developed specialized formulas for Bentley’s neurodegeneration, dementia, glaucoma, and arthritis—using CBG for neuroprotection, THCa for inflammation, and CBC for brain health.
Bentley lived to 20 years old.
Today, OilWell’s RSO is built on that same precision—not guesswork, not hype, but real science and real results.
2. Seven Cannabinoids, Not Just THC
Traditional RSO was 90% THC—which meant strong psychoactive effects, tolerance buildup, and limited therapeutic benefits.
OilWell’s RSO contains seven cannabinoids, each with unique benefits:
| Cannabinoid | Amount in OilWell RSO | Key Benefits | Evidence Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| CBD | 4,500mg | Pain, anxiety, inflammation, seizures | Strong (human trials) |
| CBG | 3,000mg | Neuroprotection, gut health, anti-inflammatory | Emerging (preclinical) |
| Delta-8 THC | 6,000mg | Pain relief, nausea, mild euphoria | Moderate (pharmacology studies) |
| THCa | 1,500mg | Anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective (non-psychoactive when raw) | Emerging (preclinical) |
| Delta-9 THC | 90mg | Pain, appetite, sleep (psychoactive) | Strong (human trials) |
| CBN | 750mg | Sleep, relaxation | Limited (preclinical) |
| CBC | 750mg | Anti-inflammatory, neurogenesis | Emerging (preclinical) |
Total Cannabinoids: 16,590mg (553mg per mL)
Why this matters for Henderson County:
- More therapeutic pathways = better relief for complex conditions.
- Lower THC risk = less impairment, better daytime use.
- THCa option = non-psychoactive for work, driving, or daytime use.
3. Patient-Controlled Potency: You Decide
Traditional RSO was always psychoactive—whether you wanted it or not.
OilWell’s RSO gives you the power to choose:
| Option | How It Works | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Raw (Non-Psychoactive) | Use as-is (THCa stays inactive) | Daytime pain relief, work, driving, anxiety |
| Decarboxylated (Activated) | Heat at 260°F for 45-60 min (converts THCa to THC) | Nighttime pain, sleep, appetite stimulation |
| Vape (Instant Activation) | Inhale (auto-decarbs at 400°F) | Fast relief (1-2 min onset) for breakthrough pain or panic |
Conversion math:
- 1,500mg THCa → ~1,315mg Delta-9 THC when decarbed.
- Total possible Delta-9 THC: ~1,405mg (comparable to traditional RSO, but legally purchased).
