Rick Simpson Oil in Kansas: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis

Kansas has always been a place where people figure things out for themselves. Whether you’re tending wheat fields outside Wichita, managing chronic pain in Overland Park, or supporting a loved one through cancer treatment in Topeka, you know that real solutions don’t come from waiting around—they come from understanding your options and making informed decisions. That’s exactly why we’ve created this comprehensive guide to Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) for Kansas residents.

We know Kansas faces unique healthcare challenges. With rural hospitals closing and specialist wait times stretching for months in places like Salina and Hutchinson, many Kansans are exploring cannabinoid medicine not as a first resort, but as a final hope when conventional treatments fall short. Our story begins the same way—with desperation that turned into discovery, and a mission that started with a paralyzed dog named Bentley who wasn’t ready to give up.

What Kansas Needs to Know About Rick Simpson Oil

Who Was Rick Simpson? (And Why His Story Still Matters in Kansas)

Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor. He was a power engineer from Nova Scotia—a tradesman, not a medical professional. In 1997, after a workplace injury left him with persistent tinnitus and dizziness, he found himself in the same position many Kansans know too well: prescribed medications that didn’t help and a doctor who refused to consider cannabis as an option.

When three skin lesions appeared on his arm in 2003, diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma, Simpson applied concentrated cannabis oil and claimed they disappeared in four days. No biopsy confirmation. No medical documentation. Just his personal testimony. That moment—unverified but deeply personal—launched what became the global RSO movement.

Why Kansas should care: Simpson’s story resonates across the Sunflower State because it mirrors the desperation we see in our own communities. When you’ve driven three hours from western Kansas to see a specialist only to hear “there’s nothing more we can do,” you understand why someone would try anything. But understanding that impulse is different from accepting medical claims without evidence.

Traditional RSO: What It Actually Was

The original RSO Simpson made was crude by modern standards, and Kansas consumers deserve to understand the difference between tradition and today.

The production process Simpson used:

• Starting material: whatever high-THC indica strain was available
• Solvent: naphtha (lighter fluid) or 99% isopropyl alcohol—neither food-grade
• Equipment: a bucket, cheesecloth, and a rice cooker
• Result: a nearly black, tar-like oil with no lab testing, no standardization, and no way to verify what was actually in it

Each batch varied wildly because the starting cannabis varied, the extraction temperature varied, and the solvent purge was never verified. Traditional RSO likely contained 60-90% delta-9 THC—meaning a 1-gram daily dose delivered 600-900mg of psychoactive THC. That’s 30 to 40 times the typical dose of FDA-approved synthetic THC medications.

The safety reality for Kansans: If you’re in Garden City or Dodge City and someone offers you homemade RSO, you’re taking a real risk. Without testing, you can’t know if residual naphtha remains, what the actual cannabinoid content is, or whether contaminants are present. That’s not speculation—that’s chemistry.

Simpson’s 60-Gram Protocol: Why We Don’t Recommend It for Kansas Patients

Simpson’s famous protocol called for consuming 60 grams of that crude oil over 90 days, eventually reaching 1 gram daily. Here’s what that means in practical terms for a Kansas resident:

• Week 1: Half a grain of rice-sized dose, three times daily
• Weeks 2-5: Double every four days until reaching 1 gram daily
• Weeks 5-12: Maintain 1 gram per day (600-900mg THC)
• Post-protocol: Continue 1-2 grams monthly indefinitely

Critical context: This protocol was never validated in clinical trials. It was designed for unstandardized oil with unknown potency. At peak dosing, patients consumed THC levels that far exceed anything studied in controlled settings. The risks—severe intoxication, anxiety, tachycardia, cannabis use disorder—are real and well-documented [13][14][15].

For Kansans managing chronic conditions while working, parenting, or driving tractors across farmland, that level of impairment isn’t just impractical—it’s dangerous. This is why we developed a fundamentally different approach.

How OilWell Cannabis Reimagined RSO for Kansas

Our Story: From a Paralyzed Dog to Your Medicine Cabinet

OilWell Cannabis began in Houston, Texas, but our origin story could have happened anywhere desperation meets love—including right here in Kansas. Our founder, Colin Valencia, grew up in McAllen, Texas, a border town where violence and limited opportunity were daily realities. By sixteen, he’d seen friends killed or imprisoned. He learned cannabis inside the traditional underground market, but he learned something more important: that real medicine should be accessible, not gatekept.

The turning point came with Bentley, Colin’s dog. When Bentley became paralyzed and veterinarians recommended euthanasia, Colin refused. A rescue worker asked: “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and you’ve never heard of CBD?” That question changed everything.

Colin created a CBD golden paste. Bentley got up and brought him his ball. From paralyzed to playing—dogs don’t respond to placebo. Bentley lived ten more years, and during that decade, Colin developed formulas for every age-related condition: neurodegeneration (CBG), dementia (CBC), glaucoma (THC), arthritis (multi-pathway anti-inflammation). Single cannabinoids weren’t enough. Bentley’s life depended on precision formulations that addressed multiple pathways simultaneously.

What this means for Kansas: We didn’t build our seven-cannabinoid RSO formula in a boardroom. We built it keeping a loved one alive for a decade. That same formula—born from necessity, refined through experience—is what we’re making available to Kansans facing their own health crises.

Colin’s Personal Journey: PTSD, Benzo Addiction, and Recovery

Colin understands pharmaceutical dependence because he lived it. Struggling with PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction, he quit Xanax cold turkey using the same cannabinoid knowledge that saved Bentley. The Peace Gummies formula was created during midnight experiments while fighting through withdrawal. He personally uses the vape form for insomnia and severe PTSD.

Why Kansas veterans should know this: If you’re a veteran at Fort Leavenworth or McConnell Air Force Base, or a retired service member in Junction City, you know what it’s like when pills don’t work and the VA moves slow. Colin’s story isn’t corporate marketing—it’s survival. When we talk about managing PTSD with cannabinoids, we’re speaking from experience, not theory.

Media Recognition: ABC13 Validation That Crosses State Lines

Between 2019 and 2023, ABC13 Houston—America’s fourth-largest city—featured Colin in seven news segments. Five different reporters sought him out. No other Houston cannabis operator has that track record. Here’s why that matters for Kansas:

• September 2019: 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 and have the best possible version to base their opinions off of to give it a fair shot as to whether it’s right or wrong for them.” That honesty-first approach has guided every product since.

• October 2021: When Texas suddenly banned Delta-8, Colin proactively removed all products before enforcement and warned other operators they were unknowingly shipping Schedule I narcotics. That’s the kind of ethical leadership you want from a company serving Kansas.

• October 2022: The Biden marijuana pardon feature revealed Colin’s personal conviction history. He said: “I would love to see people not get hurt for this anymore.” This isn’t a corporate executive—it’s someone who understands Kansas-level consequences.

These features can’t be purchased. They were earned through consistent expertise, community action, and radical honesty.

The Science Kansas Residents Deserve: Our Evidence-Based Formula

Why We Publish Our Exact Formula

We’re not hiding behind proprietary blends. We’re publishing our complete formula because Rick Simpson gave his away for free, and because Kansans deserve transparency. If you can’t afford our product, you can source the ingredients and make your own. That’s not just marketing—that’s our founding principle.

Our RSO Sublingual Oil Formula:

• CBD: 4,500mg
• CBG: 3,000mg
• Delta-8 THC: 6,000mg
• THCa: 1,500mg
• Delta-9 THC: 90mg
• CBN: 750mg
• CBC: 750mg
• Total: 16,590mg cannabinoids in 30mL (553mg/mL)
• Live terpenes: 5%

The Seven Cannabinoids: What Kansas Needs to Know

CBD (4,500mg): The most evidence-developed non-intoxicating cannabinoid. Strongest support for seizure disorders, with emerging evidence for anxiety [3] and pain [4]. For Kansans new to cannabinoids, this provides a foundation of therapeutic potential without impairment.

CBG (3,000mg): The “mother cannabinoid” that precedes others biosynthetically. Preclinical research suggests neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties [7][8], but human trials remain limited. We include it because Bentley’s neurodegeneration required multi-pathway support—not because we’re making unproven claims.

Delta-8 THC (6,000mg): A psychoactive THC analogue with real pharmacologic activity, though less potent than delta-9 [9]. The 2023 review noted public-health concerns and quality issues in the delta-8 market [10]. Our product is lab-tested to ensure purity—critical for Kansans who can’t afford to gamble on unverified products.

THCa (1,500mg): This is where Kansas residents gain unprecedented control. THCa is non-psychoactive in its acidic form, offering potential anti-inflammatory benefits via COX-2 inhibition [12]. But heat it at 260°F for 45-60 minutes, and it converts to approximately 1,315mg of delta-9 THC. One product, two completely different experiences—your choice.

Delta-9 THC (90mg): The entire bottle contains just 90mg—3mg per mL. That’s intentionally low because traditional RSO’s 600-900mg daily doses carry serious risks [13][15], including psychosis, anxiety, and cannabis use disorder. We provide enough for therapeutic entourage effects without pushing you into impairment.

CBN (750mg): Marketed heavily as a sleep aid, but the evidence is weak. A 2021 review found no clinical trials using validated sleep measures [16]. We include it at levels matching recent research (25-50mg per dose) because Kansans deserve the full spectrum, but we’re honest about what the science actually shows.

CBC (750mg): The least-studied cannabinoid in our formula. Preclinical work suggests antinociceptive and neurogenic potential [18][19], but human data is minimal. We’re transparent: this is a research-forward inclusion, not a proven therapeutic.

The Terpene Profile: Sensory Science for Kansas

Both our sublingual oil and vape cartridge include the same seven live terpenes at 5%:

• Limonene: Citrus-bright aroma. Preclinical antioxidant and anti-inflammatory signals [21], but human cannabis-specific evidence is limited. Oxidized limonene can be allergenic [22]—another reason we test for purity.

• Myrcene: Earthy, musky notes. Often claimed as sedating, but direct human proof is lacking [23]. Plausible bioactivity, but we’re not overstating it.

• Caryophyllene: Pepper/spice scent. The standout—it’s a selective CB2 agonist [24], making it pharmacologically unique among terpenes. Anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective potential, but human trials remain limited.

• Pinene: Forest-fresh aroma. The 2021 brain-health review found antioxidant and anti-inflammatory signals [25], but memory-enhancement claims are still hypotheses.

• Linalool: Floral, lavender notes. Associated with stress relief in aromatherapy, but cannabis-specific clinical data is sparse [25][26]. Oxidized linalool is also allergenic [22].

• Humulene: Earthy, woody scent. 2024 scoping review found broad preclinical anti-inflammatory effects and even cannabimimetic properties [27], but clinical validation is early.

• Terpinolene: Piney, fruity, sparkling notes. The least clinically characterized [28]. Interesting preclinical profile, but human evidence is minimal.

For Kansas consumers: These terpenes make the product experience richer. If you’re in Manhattan or Lawrence, where cannabis culture is more experimental, you’ll appreciate the complex aroma. If you’re in rural western Kansas, these familiar plant scents (pine forests, citrus groves) make the science accessible.

The Kansas Legal Framework: What You Need to Know

Farm Bill Compliance: Why Our Products Ship to Kansas Legally

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

Kansas-specific consideration: Kansas has no legal medical or recreational cannabis program. However, Farm Bill-compliant hemp products are legal statewide. This means:

• No medical card required
• Age 21+ only
• We can ship directly to Wichita, Kansas City, Topeka, or any rural address
• You can possess and use this product in Kansas

Critical Kansas caveat: THCa converts to delta-9 THC when heated. If you choose to decarboxylate the product at home, you are creating a controlled substance. Kansas law regarding converted THC is complex. We recommend Kansas residents use the raw, non-psychoactive form and consult local legal counsel before decarboxylating.

The THCa Innovation: Patient-Controlled Potency

This is the paradigm shift that makes our product uniquely suited for Kansas. You have three options:

Option 1 (Raw): Use the oil as-is. All 1,500mg stays as non-psychoactive THCa. Perfect for daytime use in Kansas—whether you’re operating farm equipment in Grant County or working a shift at a Wichita manufacturing plant. Zero impairment, full anti-inflammatory potential.

Option 2 (Home Activation): Heat at 260°F for 45-60 minutes. Converts THCa to ~1,315mg delta-9 THC. Combined with existing delta-8 and delta-9, this yields ~1,405mg total THC—comparable to traditional illegal RSO. This is your choice, made in your Kansas home, after legal purchase.

Option 3 (Vape): Our vape cartridge auto-decarbs at 400-450°F. Each puff delivers freshly activated cannabinoids. For Kansas residents needing immediate relief from breakthrough pain or panic.

Legal notice for Kansas residents: You are responsible for complying with Kansas law regarding decarboxylation and possession of converted THC. We provide full documentation, COAs, and receipts. Consult a Kansas attorney if uncertain.

Kansas-Specific Usage Contexts

Important disclaimer: These contexts are educational, not medical advice. Our products are not FDA-approved to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Consult a Kansas healthcare provider before use, especially if you’re undergoing treatment at University of Kansas Hospital, Stormont Vail in Topeka, or any regional medical center. Do not operate vehicles or machinery while using psychoactive cannabinoids.

Chronic Pain (Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Neuropathy) in Kansas

Kansas has a high rate of physically demanding jobs—agriculture, manufacturing, construction. Chronic pain is widespread, and the opioid crisis has hit rural Kansas especially hard.

• Daytime: 0.3-0.5mL raw sublingual. Provides anti-inflammatory support (CBD, THCa, CBG) without impairment while you’re working the fields or operating equipment.
• Nighttime: 0.5-1.0mL decarboxylated sublingual. Combines pain relief with CBN for sleep architecture.
• Breakthrough: Vape as needed for rapid onset (1-2 minutes).

Evidence context: CBD pain evidence shows promise but remains heterogeneous [4]. Delta-9 THC has short-term pain benefit but increases dizziness and discontinuation [13]. Caryophyllene’s CB2 activation [24] and THCa’s COX-2 inhibition [12] provide multi-pathway support—important for Kansas residents who need functional relief.

Sleep Support for Kansas Insomniacs

Sleep disorders affect Kansans across the state, from stressed farmers facing commodity price volatility to shift workers in Kansas City warehouses.

• Before bed: 1.0-2.0mL sublingual
• At 2.0mL: Delivers 50mg CBN, matching the dosage in recent sleep literature [16][17]
• At 1.0mL: Delivers 25mg CBN, above the 20mg threshold associated with reduced sleep disturbance

Honest assessment: The CBN sleep evidence is weak—no validated trials exist [16]. But the 2024 sleep review notes cannabis’s overall potential while demanding better trials [17]. Our formula provides the spectrum; results vary by individual.

Anxiety and Stress in High-Pressure Kansas Environments

From Wichita’s aerospace industry to Lawrence’s academic pressures, Kansas has no shortage of stress.

• Daytime functional relief: 0.3mL raw sublingual. CBD and CBG address anxiety pathways [3][7] without psychoactive impairment.
• Nighttime: 1.0mL sublingual for full-spectrum support including CBN.

Chemotherapy-Related Nausea

For Kansas cancer patients at KU Cancer Center or regional oncology clinics:

• Pre-chemo: 0.5-1.0mL sublingual 1 hour before treatment (delta-8 antiemetic evidence [9])
• Acute breakthrough: 2-3 vape puffs (immediate relief)
• Post-chemo: 0.5mL every 6 hours as needed

Critical Kansas context: RSO is not a cancer cure. The preclinical literature shows THC and CBD can induce apoptosis in cell lines , but no human trial has proven cancer cure. Kansas patients should use this as complementary support, not replacement for proven therapies.

Safety First: What Kansas Users Must Know

Drug Interactions and Kansas Healthcare

If you’re receiving treatment at University of Kansas Hospital, Stormont Vail, or Via Christi, your doctors need to know about cannabinoid use. CBD can interact with medications metabolized by CYP450 enzymes. Delta-9 THC can amplify sedation from opioids or benzodiazepines. Always disclose use to your Kansas healthcare provider.

Impairment and Kansas Law

Kansas has strict DUI laws. Delta-8 THC and converted THCa will cause psychoactive impairment and failed drug tests. Do not drive or operate machinery after using activated products. Raw THCa (non-decarboxylated) does not cause impairment—ideal for Kansas workers who need daytime relief.

Pregnancy and Nursing

Kansas has maternal health deserts, particularly in rural western counties. If you’re pregnant or nursing, consult a Kansas obstetrician before using any cannabinoid product. NCCIH notes pregnancy-related concerns with THC exposure [1].

Pediatric Exposure

Keep all products locked away from children. Kansas poison control centers have reported increased calls about cannabis edibles. Our child-resistant packaging is designed for Kansas families.

Mental Health Monitoring

Kansas has a suicide rate above the national average. High-concentration THC has been linked to anxiety, psychosis, and cannabis use disorder [15]. If you have a history of mental health conditions, consult a Kansas psychiatrist before use.

The Final Word for Kansas

We didn’t create this formula to get rich. We created it because Bentley got up and walked. We created it because Colin survived benzo withdrawal. We created it because people in Kansas—and everywhere else—deserve honest options when conventional medicine falls short.

This isn’t about replacing your Kansas doctor. It’s about having a conversation with them that’s informed by real science, real numbers, and real options. Our 16,590mg total cannabinoid formula is the most transparent, evidence-informed RSO product available to Kansas residents.

Whether you’re in Wichita or WaKeeney, Kansas City or Colby, you can access the same formula that kept Bentley alive for ten years.
