Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Johnson County, Illinois: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis
If you’re reading this in Johnson County—whether you’re tending crops near Vienna, working the timber around Golconda, or caring for family in Buncombe—you’ve probably heard about Rick Simpson Oil. Maybe a neighbor mentioned it at the feed store. Maybe you saw it discussed in an online forum for veterans at the Marion VA. Maybe you’re here because the pain from years of physical labor hasn’t eased, and the usual pills aren’t helping anymore. However you found us, we’re glad you’re here. We’re OilWell Cannabis, and we’ve created something that respects the legacy of Rick Simpson while solving the problems his original oil couldn’t—problems that matter here in southern Illinois.
What RSO Means for Johnson County
Johnson County sits in the heart of Little Egypt, where self-reliance isn’t just a value—it’s survival. We know what it means to drive two hours to see a specialist. We understand that when the nearest pain management clinic is in Carbondale or Paducah, and the waitlist is six months long, you start looking for alternatives that work now. That’s not impatience—that’s practicality.
Rick Simpson Oil represents hope for people who’ve been let down by conventional medicine. But here’s what most people selling “RSO” in Illinois won’t tell you: what Simpson made in his Nova Scotia kitchen in 2003 bears little resemblance to what’s on dispensary shelves today. More importantly, what’s legal to buy in Chicago might not be accessible—or safe—for someone living on a fixed income in Ozark, Illinois.
We created our RSO formulas for people like you: folks who need real therapeutic options without jumping through bureaucratic hoops, driving to St. Louis, or paying dispensary prices that don’t match rural budgets. Our products ship directly to Johnson County, comply with Illinois law, and contain exactly what we say they do—verified by third-party labs you can actually access.
The Real Story of Rick Simpson (And Why It Matters Here)
Who Was Rick Simpson?
Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor. He was a power plant engineer from Canada—a working-class guy, not unlike many of the skilled tradesmen we know across Johnson County. In 1997, he fell from scaffolding at a hospital in Moncton and suffered a severe head injury. The medical system gave him prescriptions that didn’t work and side effects that made life worse. When he asked his doctor about cannabis, the doctor refused to discuss it. Sound familiar? We’ve heard the same story from veterans at the Benton VFW, from farmers outside of New Burnside, from nurses at Harrisburg Medical Center who’ve watched patients struggle with inadequate pain management.
Simpson’s “aha moment” came in 2003 when doctors told him three bumps on his arm were basal cell carcinoma. Instead of surgery, he applied concentrated cannabis oil and claimed the lesions disappeared in four days. Important context: No independent medical verification exists for this claim. No biopsy. No published study. It was his personal experience—not clinical evidence. But that experience launched a movement. Simpson began making oil and giving it away for free to cancer patients, people with chronic pain, diabetics, glaucoma patients, and anyone who asked. He estimated helping dozens of people before the RCMP raided his property in 2005 and 2009, charging him with cultivation and trafficking. He eventually left Canada to escape legal pressure .
The Traditional RSO Protocol Simpson Promoted
Simpson designed a specific regimen: 60 grams of oil over 90 days, starting with a dose half the size of a grain of rice and escalating to 1 gram daily. He claimed this could “cure” cancer. Here’s the critical context Johnson County residents need to know:
- This protocol was never tested in a clinical trial
- Traditional RSO contained 60-90% THC—meaning patients consumed 600-900mg of delta-9 THC daily, far beyond anything studied in medical settings [13][14][15]
- The starting material was whatever cannabis strain was available—no standardization, no lab testing
- The extraction used naphtha or isopropyl alcohol—solvents that can leave toxic residues
- The process destroyed all terpenes through heat exposure
At those doses, patients experienced severe impairment, anxiety, tachycardia, and risk of cannabis use disorder [1][13][14][15]. For someone in Johnson County who needs to operate farm equipment, drive to work in Marion, or care for grandchildren, that level of impairment is not just inconvenient—it’s dangerous.
Why OilWell’s Formulas Are Different (And Better for Illinois)
We respect what Simpson started, but we’ve evolved his vision using science, precision, and safety—things that matter when you’re treating your body and can’t afford guesswork.
The OilWell RSO Formula: Built on Bentley’s Story
Our company began with a dog named Bentley. When Colin Valencia’s beloved companion was paralyzed and facing euthanasia, veterinarians said nothing could be done. Cannabis knowledge from Colin’s border-town upbringing saved Bentley’s life. Within days of CBD golden paste, Bentley was up and playing—something pharmaceuticals couldn’t achieve. Dogs don’t respond to placebo. That was real medicine.
Bentley lived ten more years. During that time, Colin developed formulas for:
- Neurodegeneration → CBG neuroprotection and THCa PPARγ agonism [7][12]
- Dementia → CBC neurogenesis [18][19]
- Glaucoma → THC CB1 agonism [13]
- Arthritis → Multi-pathway anti-inflammatory synergy (CBD + CBG + THCa + beta-caryophyllene) [4][12][24]
Bentley’s journey taught us that single cannabinoids aren’t enough. Real therapeutic potential comes from precise combinations. That’s why our RSO contains seven cannabinoids, not just THC.
What Makes Our RSO Unique for Johnson County Residents
1. Multi-Cannabinoid Precision (Not Just THC)
Our sublingual oil delivers 16,590mg total cannabinoids per 30mL bottle (553mg/mL):
- CBD 4,500mg – For anxiety, pain, seizure disorders [1]-[6]
- CBG 3,000mg – For neuroprotection, inflammation [7][8]
- Delta-8 THC 6,000mg – For nausea, pain relief with milder psychoactivity than delta-9 [9]-[11]
- THCa 1,500mg – For anti-inflammatory effects without psychoactivity (until heated) [12]
- Delta-9 THC 90mg – Below the 0.3% Farm Bill limit, but present for entourage effect
- CBN 750mg – For sleep support (though evidence is emerging) [16][17]
- CBC 750mg – For neurogenesis and anti-inflammatory potential [18][19]
Compare this to traditional RSO’s 600-900mg of delta-9 THC daily. Our approach gives you therapeutic breadth without overwhelming psychoactivity.
2. Patient-Controlled Potency (Crucial for Working People)
Johnson County doesn’t stop. You might need relief at 6 AM before chores, at noon during a lunch break, or at night when the pain keeps you awake. Our formula gives you three options:
-
Raw (No Heat): Use sublingual oil straight from the bottle. THCa stays non-psychoactive. You get anti-inflammatory benefits with zero impairment—perfect for daytime use when operating machinery, driving to Harrisburg, or attending your kids’ games.
-
Fully Activated: Heat the oil at 260°F for 45-60 minutes. This converts 1,500mg THCa into ~1,315mg delta-9 THC. Combined with existing cannabinoids, you achieve potency comparable to traditional RSO—**but legally, because you control the activation ** after purchase.
-
Vape for Fast Relief: Our 1-gram vape cartridge auto-decarbs THCa at 400-450°F, delivering effects in 1-2 minutes for breakthrough pain, panic attacks, or nausea.
** 3. Open-Source Formula (Because We Know Rural Budgets) **
We publish our complete formula. If $129.99 for a month’s supply doesn’t fit your Johnson County budget, you can source the individual distillates and make it yourself. That’s our promise: ** we won’t gatekeep medicine **. Simpson gave his oil away free; we give you the recipe free. The same golden paste formula that saved Bentley is published on our site—anyone can make it for their pets or family.
** 4. Solvent-Free and Lab-Tested **
Traditional RSO used naphtha—a petroleum product that can contain benzene and other carcinogens. We use ** food-grade MCT oil ** as our carrier. Every batch is third-party tested for:
- Cannabinoid potency (±2% accuracy)
- Terpene profile
- Heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury)
- 400+ pesticides
- Residual solvents
- Microbial contaminants
Certificates of Analysis are available for every product. When you live 30 miles from the nearest major hospital, you can’t afford to guess what’s in your medicine.
** 5. Seven Live Terpenes (Not Burned Off) **
Traditional RSO’s heat process destroyed terpenes. Our formula preserves them at 5% concentration:
- ** Limonene ** – Mood elevation, citrus brightness [20][21]
- ** Myrcene ** – Relaxation (though human evidence is emerging) [20][23]
- ** Beta-Caryophyllene ** – Direct CB2 agonist for inflammation [24]
- ** Pinene ** – Mental clarity, forest-fresh aroma [20][25]
- ** Linalool ** – Calming, lavender notes [20][22][25][26]
- ** Humulene ** – Anti-inflammatory potential [20][27]
- ** Terpinolene ** – Complex, fruity complexity [20][28]
These aren’t just for smell—they work with cannabinoids through the entourage effect [20][29].
How OilWell Serves Johnson County: Delivery and Access
We understand the geography of southern Illinois. Driving to Carbondale for medical cannabis takes time and gas money you may not have. Illinois dispensaries charge premium prices—often $80-120 for a product with less transparency than ours. And Illinois’s medical cannabis program? It requires qualifying conditions and medical cards that exclude many people who still need relief.
Our Delivery to Johnson County:
- No medical card required – Age 21+ only, as simple as ordering online
- Nationwide shipping – USPS Priority Mail (2-3 days) to any Johnson County address: Vienna, Golconda, Buncombe, New Burnside, Cypress, or anywhere in between
- Discreet packaging – No cannabis branding visible on the box
- COAs included – Full documentation for your peace of mind
- Temperature-stable packaging – Summer heat won’t degrade your product during shipping
International Access: We’ve shipped to patients across six continents. If you’re in Johnson County but have family overseas who need this, we can help them too—assuming their local laws permit hemp-derived products with <0.3% delta-9 THC.
The Science Behind Every Ingredient (So You Can Decide for Yourself)
We don’t hide behind marketing fluff. Below is what the research actually says—good, limited, and inconclusive—so you can make an informed decision.
CBD: The Most Studied Cannabinoid
- Best evidence: Rare epilepsies (FDA-approved Epidiolex) [1][2]
- Anxiety: 2024 meta-analysis of 316 participants showed significant reduction, but authors stress more trials needed [3]
- Pain: 2024 systematic review found “promising but heterogeneous” results—quality varies [4]
- Sleep: 2023 review found methods weak, subjective measures dominate [5]
- Safety: Can elevate liver enzymes; interacts with many medications [6]. If you’re taking prescriptions common in rural Illinois (blood pressure meds, diabetes meds), consult your doctor.
CBG: The “Mother Cannabinoid”
- Pharmacology: Precursor to other cannabinoids; interacts with CB receptors, alpha-2 adrenoceptors, 5-HT1A [7]
- Human evidence: Sparse. 2024 review says it’s “commercially interesting because underexplored” [8]
- Bottom line: Promising but not proven. We include it for its potential, not as a miracle cure.
Delta-8 THC: Legal but Not Benign
- Pharmacology: Partial CB1 agonist, similar to delta-9 but less potent [9]
- Evidence: 2023 scoping review found mostly animal studies and public health concerns [10]
- Manufacturing: Often synthesized from CBD; quality varies wildly [11]
- Bottom line: Psychoactive and real, but less studied than delta-9. Use with same caution.
THCa: The Non-Psychoactive Foundation
- What it is: Acidic precursor to THC [12]
- Key point: Not psychoactive unless heated. At 260°F for 45-60 min, it converts to delta-9 THC (1mg THCa → 0.877mg THC)
- Potential: Anti-inflammatory via COX-2, neuroprotective via PPARγ [12]
- Bottom line: Perfect for daytime functional use in its raw form; becomes potent when you choose to activate it.
Delta-9 THC: The Original
- Best evidence: Chemo nausea, HIV wasting, some pain and MS symptoms [1][13]
- Pharmacokinetics: Inhaled = 1-30 min onset; oral = 30-90 min onset [14]
- Risks: High doses linked to psychosis, anxiety, tachycardia, cannabis use disorder [15]
- Our approach: Only 90mg total delta-9 per bottle (3mg/mL). We rely on delta-8 and THCa to provide depth without overwhelming delta-9 effects.
CBN: The “Sleep Cannabinoid” (With Caveats)
- Marketing claims: Strong sleep aid
- Evidence: 2021 review found NO clinical trials using validated sleep measures [16]. 2024 review says research still inadequate [17]
- Our inclusion: We add 750mg (25mg per mL at 1mL dose) because emerging data suggests it may help, but we’re honest: the science is weak.
CBC: The Unsung Minor Cannabinoid
- Pharmacology: Distinct from THC/CBD; anti-inflammatory, possible neurogenesis [18][19]
- Evidence: Preclinical only. 2024 review notes products sold despite little efficacy/safety data [18]
- Bottom line: Included for potential synergy, not as a proven therapy.
Terpenes: More Than Just Smell
Every terpene in our profile has preclinical interest but limited human proof [20][29]:
- Limonene: Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, but oxidation products can be allergens [21][22]
- Myrcene: Anxiolytic in theory, but human studies lacking [23]
- Caryophyllene: Only terpene proven to be a CB2 agonist—most promising for inflammation [24]
- Pinene: Neuroprotective potential, but clinical trials absent [25]
- Linalool: Calming effects plausible, but data weak [26]
- Humulene: Cannabimimetic in rodents via CB1/A2a [27]
- Terpinolene: Least studied of the seven [28]
We include them because the entourage effect is plausible [20][29], but we won’t claim they’re miracle workers.
Common Overstatements (And What We Actually Say)
We hear these claims everywhere. Here’s the honest version:
❌ “CBN is proven for sleep”
✅ “CBN is marketed for sleep, but no strong clinical trials exist. We include 750mg because early data is promising, but results vary.”
❌ “Myrcene will sedate you”
✅ “Myrcene has preclinical anxiolytic effects, but human proof is limited. It’s part of our profile for potential synergy.”
❌ “Terpenes have proven entourage effects”
✅ “Entourage effects are plausible and worth studying, but robust human clinical proof is limited. Our terpene profile enhances flavor and may contribute to overall effect.”
❌ “THCa is always non-psychoactive”
✅ “THCa is non-psychoactive raw, but converts to THC when heated. You control that choice.”
❌ “Delta-8 is completely safe because it’s hemp-derived”
✅ “Delta-8 is psychoactive, less studied than delta-9, and product quality varies. We use it responsibly at 6,000mg with full testing.”
Why Media Recognition Matters in Rural Illinois
You might wonder why Houston media coverage matters to someone in Johnson County. Here’s why: ABC13 is a major-market, editorially independent news organization. They don’t feature just anyone. Over four years, five different reporters sought Colin out seven times because he consistently provides honest, nuanced, expert commentary that serves the public interest—not just his business.
Our Media Record (2019-2023):
- September 2019: CBD boom feature. Colin’s quote: “I’m not trying to sell people snake oil… there’s enough research out there that people just need to know and try and have the best possible version to base their opinions off of to give it a fair shot.”
- March 2021: Decriminalization coverage. Colin helped another entrepreneur launch a mobile cannabis business, showing ecosystem leadership
- May 2021: Delta-8 investigation. Steve Campion’s iconic exchange: “Why would someone want to smoke that?” Colin: “Maybe you want to get high.” Unfiltered honesty on mainstream TV
- August 2021: COVID vaccine giveaway. OilWell donated $35,000 in product (1,000 caviar pre-rolls) to encourage vaccinations, coordinating with City of Houston
- October 2021: Delta-8 ban. Colin proactively removed products before enforcement, warned other operators shipping Schedule I narcotics unknowingly—ethical leadership in crisis
- October 2022: Biden pardon feature. Colin revealed his personal marijuana conviction history: “I would love to see people not get hurt for this anymore.” This transforms every prior quote—he speaks from lived experience
- April 2023: 4/20 Renaissance piece. Colin growing hemp on camera, framing the present as opportunity: “Right now is actually a pretty important time that should be enjoyed now.”
This track record shows consistency, integrity, and community commitment. When you’re in a small town like Vienna, Illinois, and you’re considering ordering cannabis products online from a company in Houston, you need proof they’re legitimate. Seven ABC13 features over four years is that proof.
Illinois Law and What It Means for You
Federal Law (2018 Farm Bill): Hemp-derived products with <0.3% delta-9 THC are legal nationwide. Our sublingual oil contains 90mg delta-9 THC in 30mL—3mg/mL, well under the limit.
Illinois State Law: Illinois legalized recreational cannabis in 2020, but:
- Dispensaries are concentrated in urban areas (Chicago, Springfield, Carbondale)
- Prices average 30-50% higher than our direct-to-consumer model
- Medical cannabis requires qualifying conditions and a state-issued card
- Johnson County has zero dispensaries—you must drive 30+ miles
- Our products ship directly to any Johnson County address legally under Farm Bill
THCa Legal Framework: THCa is non-psychoactive at purchase. When YOU heat it, it converts to delta-9 THC. This means the same legal product can be non-psychoactive OR full-potency based on your choice. There’s no Illinois law prohibiting THCa possession or home decarboxylation.
Important Notice: You are responsible for knowing local laws. We provide complete COAs, receipts, and documentation. Our products are Farm Bill compliant at time of shipment.

Frequently Asked Questions by Johnson County Residents
Q: Is this legal in Illinois?
A: Yes. Our products contain <0.3% delta-9 THC, making them hemp-derived and legal under the 2018 Farm Bill. Illinois law permits hemp products statewide.
Q: Will this show up on a drug test?
A: Yes, if you decarboxylate THCa or use the vape. THC metabolites are what tests detect. If you need to pass a test for work (common in industrial jobs around southern Illinois), use the raw sublingual oil only, or abstain. We are honest about this—many companies aren’t.
Q: Can I drive after taking this?
A: Not if you’ve decarboxylated or vaped. Raw sublingual oil (no heat) has no psychoactive effects and should not impair driving. However, Illinois DUI laws are strict—when in doubt, don’t drive.
Q: How does this compare to what I’d get at a Carbondale dispensary?
A: IL dispensaries typically sell THC-only RSO for $80-120 per gram. Our product has seven cannabinoids, costs less per mg, ships to your door, and requires no medical card.
Q: What if I can’t afford $129.99?
A: We publish the complete formula. Source ingredients and make it yourself. Or contact us about payment plans—we work with customers.
Q: Is this safe with my other medications?
A: CBD can interact with blood thinners, seizure meds, and liver-metabolized drugs common in rural Illinois. Always consult your doctor. We provide COAs to share with healthcare providers.
Q: How do I decarboxylate the THCa?
A: Place desired amount in oven-safe glass. Heat at 260°F for 45-60 minutes. The oil will bubble slightly—that’s CO2 releasing as THCa converts to THC. Cool before using.
Q: Can I use this for my pet?
A: The Bentley story proves cannabis helps animals, but our RSO is formulated for humans. We publish a separate CBD golden paste recipe for pets—free on our website. For serious animal conditions, consult a vet.
The Johnson County Perspective: Why This Matters Now
Johnson County is changing. The opioid crisis has devastated families from Ozark to New Burnside. Veterans returning from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan struggle with PTSD in a community where mental health resources are limited. Farmers in their 60s have backs destroyed by decades of physical labor, but they can’t afford to stop working.
Traditional medicine has failed many of you. You’ve been:
- Prescribed pills that don’t work
- Treated like a number at distant clinics
- Overcharged for products with no transparency
- Told cannabis is dangerous by people who’ve never studied it
We grew up in harsh environments too—Colin on the violent Texas-Mexico border, watching friends die or go to prison. We built OilWell from that hardship, with Bentley’s story as our foundation. We know what it means to have the system fail you and to find answers in places others dismiss.
Our media record with ABC13 isn’t just press—it’s proof that we tell the truth even when it’s uncomfortable. We gave away $35,000 in product during COVID because Houston is our community. We warned competitors about the Delta-8 ban because integrity matters more than profit. Colin shared his conviction history because honesty builds trust.
You won’t find that from a corporate cannabis chain. You won’t find that from fly-by-night online sellers. And you won’t find seven cannabinoids with open-source formulas anywhere else.

Final Word: The OilWell Promise to Johnson County
We can’t change Illinois laws. We can’t bring a dispensary to Vienna. We can’t fix the healthcare gaps that leave you driving hours for specialist care.
But we can give you:
- A product that works as hard as you do
- Honest information about what it can and can’t do
- Legal access without bureaucratic barriers
- Control over your own medicine
- The recipe if you can’t afford our price
- Third-party proof of what’s in every bottle
- A company that answers the phone when you call
Rick Simpson started with a man who was failed by the system and found an answer in cannabis. Bentley started with a dog who was failed by veterinary medicine and found an answer in cannabinoids. Colin started with a kid from the border who saw too much death and built something that helps people live.
If you’re in Johnson County and you’ve been let down by the options available to you, we’re here. Not with snake oil. Not with false hope. With a product we stake our reputation on, published formulas you can verify, and a media record that proves we’ve been telling the truth for years.
Order today. Call with questions. Or just read the research and decide for yourself. That’s what we want—for you to have the best possible version to base your opinion on, so you can give it a fair shot and see if it’s right for you.
