Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Knott County, Kentucky: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis
Understanding Rick Simpson Oil: From Nova Scotia to the Hills of Eastern Kentucky
Rick Simpson Oil is the most searched cannabis extract term in the world, and for good reason. It represents hope for people who’ve been let down by conventional medicine—the same kind of hope that resonates deeply here in Knott County, where we’ve watched factories close, watched our neighbors struggle with chronic pain from coal mining and timber work, and watched the pharmaceutical industry offer solutions that often cause more problems than they solve.
But here’s what most retailers in Kentucky won’t tell you: traditional RSO was never a standardized medicine. It was one man’s desperate experiment, born from a workplace injury in 1997 when Rick Simpson fell from scaffolding at a hospital in Moncton, Canada. The medications doctors prescribed made his post-concussion symptoms worse. When cannabis provided relief and his doctor refused to consider it, Simpson took matters into his own hands. In 2003, he claimed concentrated cannabis oil removed his basal cell carcinoma lesions in four days—though no biopsy confirmation or peer-reviewed documentation ever substantiated this claim.
Important context: Simpson’s story is personal testimony, not medical evidence. He had no formal medical training, conducted no clinical trials, and his 60-gram/90-day protocol—delivering 600-900mg of delta-9 THC daily—has never been validated in controlled studies. The National Cancer Institute explicitly states that no cannabis product has been proven to cure cancer in humans. Yet Simpson’s vision sparked a global movement that eventually reached the hills of Knott County, where families facing cancer diagnoses and chronic pain still search for alternatives when the medical system falls short.
That tension—between desperate hope and honest science—defines everything we do at OilWell Cannabis.
The Traditional RSO Protocol: What Knott County Residents Need to Know
If you’ve heard about RSO in online cancer support groups or Facebook communities for chronic pain sufferers in Hazard or Prestonburg, you’ve likely encountered Simpson’s protocol. Here’s exactly what it entails:
The 60-Gram Goal: Consume approximately 60 grams of crude cannabis oil over 90 days. Simpson considered this the minimum for serious conditions.
Titration Schedule:
- Week 1: Half a grain of rice-sized dose (10-15mg) three times daily
- Weeks 2-5: Double every four days until reaching 1 gram per day
- Weeks 5-12: Maintain 1 gram daily (roughly 333mg per dose, three times daily)
Administration Methods: Oral/sublingual for systemic issues, topical for skin lesions. Simpson discouraged inhalation as a primary treatment method.
Critical Context for Eastern Kentucky: This protocol was designed around crude, unstandardized material. At peak dosing, patients consume roughly 600-900mg of delta-9 THC daily—a dose far exceeding anything studied clinically. The FDA-approved synthetic THC drug dronabinol is typically dosed at 2.5-20mg per day. Consuming 600-900mg daily carries serious risks: severe intoxication, anxiety, panic, tachycardia, hypotension, and cannabis use disorder.
For cancer patients at the UK Markey Cancer Center in Lexington or local oncology clinics in Hazard: Using unregulated, untested cannabis oil as a primary cancer treatment—potentially in place of proven therapies—introduces harm that extends beyond the oil itself. This is not a substitute for professional medical care.
Traditional RSO vs. Modern Formulated RSO: A Comparison Eastern Kentucky Can Trust
| Dimension | Traditional RSO | OilWell Formulated RSO |
|---|---|---|
| Source Material | Single high-THC indica strain | Multi-cannabinoid blend from multiple hemp sources |
| Extraction Method | Naphtha or isopropyl alcohol | Food-grade ethanol or CO₂ methods |
| Cannabinoid Profile | THC-dominant, uncontrolled (60-90% estimated) | Seven defined cannabinoids at specific ratios |
| Terpene Content | Destroyed by heat | Live terpenes at 5% with seven defined terpenes |
| Standardization | None—every batch different | Lab-tested, 553mg/mL total cannabinoids |
| Lab Testing | Not performed | Full panel: potency, terpenes, pesticides, heavy metals, residual solvents, microbial |
| Residual Solvents | Significant risk with naphtha | Controlled and tested |
| Dosing Precision | Approximate syringe measurement | Measured per mL with 0.1mL graduated dropper increments |
| Product Formats | Single thick oil only | Sublingual oil AND vape cartridge |
| THCa Preservation | No—fully decarboxylated by heat | Yes—1,500mg THCa included as separate ingredient |
| Evidence Approach | Anecdotal, personal testimony | Research-backed, evidence-weighted |
This matters in Knott County because the “RSO” you might find at a dispensary in Lexington or from an online retailer could be anything. Without lab testing and standardized formulas, you’re trusting someone’s word—and here in the mountains, we’ve learned that trust must be earned through transparency, not promises.
The OilWell Cannabis Story: From McAllen to the Mountains
OilWell Cannabis wasn’t born in a corporate boardroom. It was born in McAllen, Texas—a border town more economically challenged than many parts of Eastern Kentucky—when Colin Valencia refused to give up on Bentley, his paralyzed dog.
Bentley was facing euthanasia. Vets said pain medications would destroy his organs. In desperation, Colin learned about CBD from a rescue worker who 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—turmeric, coconut oil, black pepper, CBD oil. Bentley got up. Walked. Brought his ball to play. Dogs don’t respond to placebo. This was cannabinoid medicine doing what pharmaceuticals could not.
Bentley lived another ten years, dying naturally at age twenty. During those years, Colin developed specialized formulas for every age-related condition: neurodegeneration (CBG neuroprotection, THCa PPARγ), dementia (CBC neurogenesis), glaucoma (THC CB1 agonism), and crippling arthritis (multi-pathway anti-inflammation using CBD, CBG, THCa, and beta-caryophyllene).
Why this matters for Knott County: We know what it means to watch our elders suffer from black lung, arthritis from decades of hard labor, and chronic pain that no pill seems to touch. Colin’s journey mirrors yours—watching conventional medicine fail someone you love, then discovering that cannabis, when formulated with precision, can provide relief.
From Border Towns to the Texas Medical Center
Colin didn’t stop with Bentley. He became a formally trained software engineer, doing custom development for Baylor College of Medicine—one of the most prestigious medical institutions in the Texas Medical Center. That combination of deep cannabis plant knowledge and medical-grade technical precision defines OilWell’s approach.
We bring that same precision to Knott County. You’re not getting someone’s homemade oil from a jar. You’re getting a product designed in a medical research context, with every cannabinoid and terpene selected for a reason.
Colin’s Personal Battle: PTSD and Benzo Addiction
Colin knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He struggled with PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction—Xanax. When he decided to break free, he did it cold turkey 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. He personally uses the vape form for insomnia and severe PTSD.
For veterans in Knott County: We know Eastern Kentucky has one of the highest per-capita veteran populations in the nation. Many of you served multiple deployments and came back with trauma that the VA system struggles to address. Colin’s story is your story. He lived what you’re living: desperation for relief, failed pharmaceuticals, the discovery that cannabinoids work when pills do not.
OilWell’s ABC13 Media Record: Houston to Hindman
Between 2019 and 2023, ABC13 Houston—America’s fourth-largest city—featured Colin and OilWell in seven news segments. Five different reporters sought him out to explain Texas cannabis law, Delta-8 legal analysis, COVID community health leadership, criminal justice reform, and business pioneering.
Why Knott County should care: Mainstream media validation from a major-market ABC affiliate establishes credibility that no amount of marketing can replicate. When Texas DSHS suddenly classified Delta-8 as Schedule I, Colin proactively removed all products and warned other operators who were unknowingly shipping what had become felony narcotics. When President Biden announced marijuana pardons, ABC13 turned to Colin—who revealed his own cannabis conviction history—to put it in context.
This is the kind of integrity you expect in Eastern Kentucky: do the right thing even when it costs you money, tell the truth even when it’s complicated, and never pretend to have answers you don’t.
Farm Bill Compliance: Legal Access for Knott County
The 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC. This is the foundation of legal access for Knott County residents.
OilWell’s RSO Sublingual Oil contains only 90mg of delta-9 THC in the entire 30mL bottle—3mg per mL—well under the federal threshold. All cannabinoids are hemp-derived, making the product legal under federal law and shippable to Kentucky.
THCa: The Legal Cannabis Innovation
THCa is the acidic, non-psychoactive precursor to delta-9 THC. It’s Farm Bill compliant at point of sale because it hasn’t been converted to delta-9 THC. Knott County residents can legally:
- Purchase the product
- Possess it in your home in Hindman, Pippa Passes, or Fisty
- Transport it through Letcher or Perry counties
- Decarboxylate it at home for full potency
The conversion math: Heat the oil at 260°F (125°C) for 45-60 minutes. The 1,500mg of THCa converts to approximately 1,315mg of delta-9 THC. Combined with the existing 90mg, you get 1,405mg total delta-9 THC—comparable to traditional illegal RSO, entirely at your discretion after legal purchase.
Important legal notice for Kentucky residents: THCa converts to delta-9 THC when heated. You are responsible for understanding and complying with Kentucky state law regarding cannabinoid products. OilWell ships with full documentation, Certificates of Analysis, and receipts. Kentucky residents accept all legal responsibility for home decarboxylation decisions.
Open-Source Formulas: The Simpson Ethos Lives in Kentucky
Rick Simpson gave his oil away for free and taught people how to make it. He never patented his method. OilWell adapted that ethos for the modern era: we sell a professionally manufactured, lab-tested product, and we publish the complete formula for those who want to make their own.
For Knott County DIY makers: If you can’t afford $129.99, you can source individual cannabinoid distillates and make the exact formula yourself. This isn’t theoretical—we’re giving you the recipe because Bentley taught us that accessibility saves lives.

The Evidence: What Science Actually Says
Every cannabinoid in our formula has a specific evidence profile. We’re not here to overpromise—we’re here to give you the same information we’d want for our own families in Knott County.
CBD: The Most Studied Cannabinoid
- Best evidence: FDA-approved for rare epilepsies (Epidolex) [1][2]
- Anxiety: 2024 meta-analysis of 316 participants shows statistically significant anxiolytic signal, but authors stress limited clinical samples [3]
- Pain: 2024 review found promising but heterogeneous evidence—trial quality limits broad claims [4]
- Sleep: 2023 review found literature methodologically weak [5]
- Safety: 2023 meta-analysis found real signal for liver enzyme elevation—especially relevant with concentrated oral products [6]
For Knott County: If you’re taking CBD with prescription medications (common for chronic pain or cancer), consult your doctor about liver function monitoring.
CBG: The Neuroprotective Promise
- Mostly review and preclinical evidence [7][8]
- Biosynthetic precursor with distinct pharmacology
- Possible relevance to neurologic disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, antibacterial activity
- Being sold commercially before strong human evidence exists [7]
For Knott County: If you’re considering CBG for neurodegeneration (like early dementia, increasingly common in aging Eastern Kentucky populations), understand this is emerging science.
Delta-8 THC: Not “Diet Weed”
- 2022 review: Similar pharmacokinetics to delta-9 THC but less potent (weaker CB1 affinity) [9]
- 2023 scoping review: Dominated by animal studies, product chemistry, and public health concerns [10]
- 2024 chemistry review: Greater stability drives commercial interest, but manufacturing byproducts are a concern [11]
For Knott County: Delta-8 will cause impairment and failed drug tests. It’s psychoactive and habit-forming, despite weaker potency than delta-9. Don’t underestimate it.
THCa: The Legal Innovation
- Non-psychoactive precursor [12]
- Decarboxylates to delta-9 THC with heat (260°F for 45-60 minutes)
- In vitro and rodent studies suggest anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective potential [12]
- Critical for Kentucky: Your legal exposure depends on whether you convert it. Raw = legal. Decarbed = psychoactive and potentially legally complex if possessed in large quantities.
Delta-9 THC: Heavyweight with Risks
- Best evidence: Chemotherapy nausea, HIV/AIDS appetite, some pain and MS symptoms [1][13]
- Pain: 2022 systematic review found short-term benefit but increased dizziness, sedation, nausea [13]
- High-dose risks: 2025 review found consistent unfavorable associations with psychosis, schizophrenia, and cannabis use disorder [15]
- Pharmacokinetics: Inhaled = seconds to minutes onset; oral = 1-2 hours onset [14]
For Knott County: If you have family history of schizophrenia or psychosis, high-dose THC is contraindicated. Be honest about your mental health history.
CBN: Overhyped for Sleep
- 2021 narrative review screened 99 human-study abstracts, found NO clinical trials using validated sleep measures [16]
- 2024 sleep review: Overall cannabinoid sleep research still inadequate [17]
- Reputation far ahead of evidence
For Knott County: CBN may help, but it’s not the sleep miracle social media claims. Our 750mg total (25-50mg per dose) is based on existing literature, not marketing hype.
CBC: The Emerging Minor Cannabinoid
- 2024 review: Distinct pharmacodynamics, antinociceptive, antibacterial, anti-seizure potential [18]
- Anti-inflammatory effects in animal models [19]
- Over-the-counter products sold despite limited safety/efficacy data [18]
Terpenes: The Aromatic Dimension
Our live terpene profile (5% in both products) includes seven terpenes with specific roles:
Limonene – Citrus-bright aroma. Review literature describes antioxidant, anti-inflammatory properties, but most evidence is preclinical [21]. Knott County connection: Think of the citrus notes from wild sumac that grows in our forests—familiar, uplifting.
Myrcene – Earthy foundation. Preclinical anxiolytic and analgesic signals, but limited human proof [23]. Common overstatement: It’s NOT a proven sedative that causes “couch-lock.”
Caryophyllene – Pepper/spice. Most interesting terpene—selective CB2 agonist, directly interacts with cannabinoid system [24]. For inflammation from years of physical labor, this matters.
Pinene – Forest-fresh. Preclinical neuroprotective signals, but human cognition claims are exploratory [25]. Knott County connection: The smell of pine from our mountain forests—familiar, clarifying.
Linalool – Floral/lavender. Preclinical antidepressant mechanisms, but limited clinical trials [26]. Oxidized linalool can be allergenic [22].
Humulene – Woody/earthy. 2024 scoping review found anti-inflammatory preclinical evidence, some rodent cannabimimetic properties [27].
Terpinolene – Piney/fruity. Least clinically characterized of our profile [28].
Bottom line: Terpenes make the product smell and taste better, and preclinical evidence is promising, but human therapeutic claims should be conservative. We include them for the entourage effect hypothesis [20][29], not because they’re proven miracle workers.

Safety Information Specific to Knott County
Drug Testing: If you work at the Knott County Fiscal Court, local schools, or any job requiring drug screening:
- Raw THCa will NOT cause positive test
- Decarboxylated THCa (converted to delta-9) WILL cause positive test
- Delta-8 THC WILL cause positive test
- Plan accordingly—use raw form if employment depends on it
Operating Machinery: Eastern Kentucky has high rates of ATV and farming equipment injuries. Do NOT operate vehicles or machinery while using psychoactive cannabinoids. The sublingual oil in raw form is non-impairing; vape and decarbed oil are impairing.
Pregnancy: If you’re pregnant or nursing, consult your OB-GYN before using any cannabinoid product. THC crosses the placenta and enters breast milk.
Children: Keep all products locked away from children. The candy-like appearance of gummies (if you also purchase our Peace Gummies or Asshole Peach products) can be appealing to kids. Treat this like any medication.
Interactions with Opioids: Many Knott County residents are prescribed opioids for pain. Cannabinoids can potentiate opioid effects—start with lower doses and monitor closely. This can be beneficial for tapering, but requires medical supervision.

The Bentley Recipe: Free for Knott County Pet Owners
Before we sold RSO, we saved Bentley with this formula. We published it then, and we’re publishing it now for any Knott County family facing a similar crisis with their companion.
CBD Golden Paste for Pets:
- 1/2 cup organic turmeric powder
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup unrefined organic coconut oil
- 1-2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper (crucial for absorption)
- CBD oil (dosage depends on pet size; consult your veterinarian)
Instructions: Mix turmeric and water over low heat to thick paste (7-10 min). Add coconut oil and pepper. Cool, store in refrigerator up to 2 weeks. Mix with food once or twice daily.
Dosage: Start low, increase gradually. Always consult your vet—McCaw’s Veterinary Clinic in Hazard or Hindman Veterinary Clinic can advise.
This is real. Dogs don’t respond to placebo. If it worked for Bentley, it might help your Blue Heeler or Mountain Cur.
