Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Kit Carson County: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis

Kit Carson County sits on Colorado’s eastern plains, where the horizon stretches wide and the community runs deep. Out here in Burlington and the surrounding ranchlands, we know what it means to work with our hands, to battle chronic pain from years of physical labor, and to face health challenges when the nearest specialist is a three-hour drive to Denver. We also know the value of straight talk and honest solutions—no fluff, no false promises.

If you’re searching for “Rick Simpson Oil Kit Carson County,” “RSO near Burlington,” or “cannabis oil for chronic pain in eastern Colorado,” you’ve found something different. We’re OilWell Cannabis, a Houston-based company that’s spent six years building what we believe is the most scientifically advanced, legally accessible, and transparently documented RSO formula available anywhere—including right here in Kit Carson County.

This isn’t a sales pitch. It’s education. Because out here where neighbors help neighbors, we believe you deserve the full story—the history, the science, the legal framework, and the exact formulas—so you can decide for yourself whether RSO is right for you.

Who Was Rick Simpson, and Why Does RSO Matter for Kit Carson County?

Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor. He was a power engineer from Nova Scotia—a blue-collar tradesman, much like many folks in Kit Carson County who’ve worked the oil fields, operated heavy equipment, or spent decades in agriculture. In 1997, Simpson suffered a serious head injury from a scaffolding fall. The medications his doctors prescribed either didn’t work or made things worse. When he asked his physician about cannabis, the door was slammed shut.

Sound familiar? Across Kit Carson County, we’ve heard similar stories from veterans dealing with PTSD, ranchers managing chronic back pain, and cancer patients told their options are exhausted. When conventional medicine fails, people search for alternatives. That’s how Simpson’s journey became a global movement.

Simpson’s pivotal moment came in 2003 when he claimed concentrated cannabis oil removed three skin lesions diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma. He documented the process, shared it freely, and soon was giving away oil to cancer patients, chronic pain sufferers, and anyone in need. His 2005 documentary Run From The Cure introduced the world to what we now call RSO.

Important context we must state clearly: Simpson’s account is personal testimony, not medical evidence. No independent verification, no biopsy confirmation, no peer-reviewed documentation exists. But his story—like many stories we hear across Kit Carson County—is historically significant because it sparked a conversation about cannabis that the medical establishment had ignored.

For Kit Carson County residents facing the isolation of rural healthcare, the lesson is this: Simpson’s experience resonates because it reflects a universal truth. When people are suffering and the system fails them, they find their own path. Our job is to make sure that path is safe, legal, and evidence-informed.

The Traditional RSO Protocol vs. Modern Reality

Simpson’s original protocol called for consuming 60 grams of oil over 90 days—starting with a dose the size of a half-grain of rice three times daily, escalating to 1 gram per day. At peak dosing, traditional RSO delivered 600-900mg of delta-9 THC daily. That’s 30-45 times higher than the FDA-approved synthetic THC drug dronabinol.

Here’s why that matters for Kit Carson County:

Traditional RSO was crude—single-strain, high-THC, solvent-extracted with naphtha or isopropyl alcohol, no lab testing, no standardization. Every batch was different. The solvent risk alone is significant: naphtha contains benzene and other carcinogens. Without lab testing, you can’t verify what you’re consuming.

Simpson’s protocol was designed for an era with no alternatives. Today, we have better options—especially for Kit Carson County residents who need consistency, safety, and legal access.

The OilWell Story: From a Paralyzed Dog to Serving Kit Carson County

Our company didn’t start in a boardroom. It started with Bentley—a dog Colin Valencia refused to euthanize when veterinarians said there was no hope. Bentley was paralyzed, incontinent, and scheduled for death. A rescue worker asked Colin: “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and you’ve never heard of CBD?”

That question changed everything.

Colin grew up in McAllen, Texas—right across from Reynosa, Mexico—in one of the most dangerous border regions imaginable. He learned the cannabis plant intimately, not as a business opportunity but as survival. By sixteen, he’d left home. Friends died or went to prison. He chose cannabis over darker paths, eventually becoming a software engineer who did custom development for Baylor College of Medicine—one of America’s top medical institutions.

When Bentley was dying, Colin created a CBD golden paste. Three days later, Bentley got up and brought Colin his ball. Dogs don’t respond to placebo. That miracle—watching a paralyzed companion walk again—became OilWell’s foundation.

Bentley lived ten more years. During that decade, Colin developed formulas for neurodegeneration, dementia, glaucoma, and arthritis. Each condition taught him that single cannabinoids weren’t enough. Bentley needed CBD for inflammation, CBG for neuroprotection, THCa for brain health, CBC for nerve regeneration. Precision mattered—Bentley’s life depended on it.

That same precision now serves Kit Carson County. Whether you’re a veteran in Burlington dealing with PTSD, a rancher outside of Stratton with chronic back pain, or a cancer patient in Flagler seeking relief during chemotherapy, multi-cannabinoid synergy matters.

Why Our Formulas Are Different—and Why That Matters for Eastern Colorado

OilWell’s RSO is not traditional RSO. It’s better. Here’s how our approach specifically addresses the needs of Kit Carson County residents:

1. Seven Cannabinoids, Not Just THC
Traditional RSO was 60-90% delta-9 THC. Our sublingual oil contains:

• 4,500mg CBD (anxiety, inflammation)
• 3,000mg CBG (neuroprotection, gut health)
• 6,000mg Delta-8 THC (pain relief, anti-nausea)
• 1,500mg THCa (customer-controlled potency)
• 90mg Delta-9 THC (Farm Bill compliant)
• 750mg CBN (sleep support)
• 750mg CBC (neurogenesis, mood)

Total: 16,590mg cannabinoids per 30mL bottle (553mg/mL)

For Kit Carson County residents dealing with multiple health issues simultaneously—like chronic pain plus anxiety plus sleep disturbances—this multi-pathway approach means one product can address several needs.

2. Live Terpenes at 5%
Traditional RSO had no terpenes—they were destroyed by heat. We preserve and add seven specific terpenes:

• Caryophyllene: Directly activates CB2 receptors (anti-inflammatory)
• Limonene: Mood elevation, anxiety relief
• Myrcene: Relaxation (though human evidence is still emerging)
• Pinene: Mental clarity
• Linalool: Calming, stress reduction
• Humulene: Appetite suppression, inflammation
• Terpinolene: Complex synergy

For the agricultural community in Kit Carson County, these terpenes are familiar—pine from the forests, citrus from kitchen remedies, pepper from home cooking. We bring that plant intelligence into every bottle.

3. Patient-Controlled Potency
Kit Carson County values self-reliance. Our formula puts you in control:

• Raw THCa: Use it as-is for non-psychoactive daytime relief. Perfect for working on the ranch, driving to Burlington, or functioning without impairment.
• Decarboxylated: Heat at 260°F for 45-60 minutes to convert THCa to THC, creating full psychoactive potency comparable to traditional RSO.
• Vape: Instant activation with 1-2 minute onset for breakthrough pain or panic.

You decide. Not us. Not the government. That’s the Kit Carson County way.

4. Solvent-Free, Lab-Tested Safety
Traditional RSO used naphtha—a petroleum product. We use no solvents. Our cannabinoids are individual distillates blended in organic MCT oil. Every batch is third-party tested for:

• Potency (±2% accuracy)
• Terpenes
• Heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury)
• 400+ pesticides
• Residual solvents
• Microbial contaminants

You receive a Certificate of Analysis with every order. For Kit Carson County residents who’ve seen what industrial contamination can do to land and water, this transparency matters.

5. Farm Bill Compliant—Legal in Kit Carson County
Our products contain less than 0.3% delta-9 THC at point of sale, making them legal under the 2018 Farm Bill and legal to ship to Colorado. The 90mg of delta-9 THC in our sublingual oil is far below federal limits. The 1,500mg of THCa is non-psychoactive until you choose to activate it.

This means Kit Carson County residents can legally purchase, possess, and use our products. No medical card required. No trips to Denver dispensaries. We ship directly to your door in Burlington, Stratton, Flagler, or anywhere else in the county.

The Science Behind Each Compound: What Kit Carson County Needs to Know

We don’t hide behind vague “full-spectrum” claims. Here’s exactly what each ingredient does, based on peer-reviewed research:

CBD (4,500mg)

• Strongest evidence in our formula: proven anti-seizure effects, anxiety reduction [3], pain modulation [4]
• Safety note: can elevate liver enzymes in some people; check with your doctor if you take multiple medications [6]

CBG (3,000mg)

• Preclinical evidence for neuroprotection, anti-inflammatory gut effects [7][8]
• Human evidence is emerging but still limited
• We’re transparent: this is promising, not proven

Delta-8 THC (6,000mg)

• 2022 review: similar pharmacology to delta-9 THC but less potent [9]
• Anti-nausea effects, pain relief
• Warning: will cause impairment and failed drug tests [10]
• For Kit Carson County residents: know that this is psychoactive THC, legal under Farm Bill due to hemp derivation

THCa (1,500mg)

• Non-psychoactive in raw form [12]
• Anti-inflammatory via COX-2 inhibition
• Neuroprotective potential
• Your control: stays THCa until you heat it

Delta-9 THC (90mg)

• Total bottle contains 90mg—just 3mg per mL
• Well-studied for pain, nausea, appetite [13]
• At low doses in our formula, contributes to entourage effect without overwhelming psychoactivity

CBN (750mg)

• Marketed heavily for sleep, but evidence is actually weak [16][17]
• We include it at levels matching emerging research (25-50mg per dose)
• Honest take: interesting but not proven

CBC (750mg)

• Preclinical evidence for neurogenesis, anti-inflammatory effects [18][19]
• One of the most underexplored cannabinoids
• We include it for future potential as research develops

Terpene Entourage Effect [20][29]

• Our seven-terpene profile is designed to complement cannabinoids
• Caryophyllene is unique—it directly activates CB2 receptors like a cannabinoid [24]
• Limonene may reduce THC-induced anxiety [20]
• Myrcene, pinene, linalool offer aroma-therapeutic benefits
• Reality check: human proof of entourage effects is still limited. We include terpenes because the science is plausible and the sensory experience matters, not because we can make definitive clinical claims.

Condition-Specific Guidance for Kit Carson County Health Challenges

Chronic Pain from Agricultural Labor
Years of tractor work, lifting, and physical strain take their toll:

• Daytime: 0.3-0.5mL raw sublingual (non-psychoactive) for inflammation
• Evening: 0.5-1mL decarboxylated for pain + sleep
• Joint formula: CBD + CBG + caryophyllene (CB2 activation) + THCa (COX-2 inhibition) [12][24]

Why ABC13 Houston Featured Us Seven Times—and What That Means for Kit Carson County

Between 2019 and 2023, Houston’s ABC13 (KTRK) featured Colin Valencia in seven news segments. Five different reporters sought him out. Why? Because when they needed straight answers about cannabis, they called someone who tells the truth.

The Media Record:

1. 2019: “CBD businesses booming” — Our foundational quote about not selling snake oil
2. 2021: Helping other entrepreneurs like Jonathan Pina launch legal cannabis businesses
3. 2021: Explaining Delta-8 THC with radical honesty (“Maybe you want to get high”)
4. 2021: $35,000 in free products to encourage COVID vaccination—no political strings
5. 2021: First to pull Delta-8 products when Texas banned them, warning other operators
6. 2022: Personal revelation—Colin has a marijuana conviction history, understands criminal justice impact
7. 2023: Growing hemp on camera, calling it a “Renaissance” for the industry

For Kit Carson County, this matters because:

• Credibility: Major network validation that we can’t buy—only earn
