Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Lafayette County, Florida: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis

If you’re reading this from Mayo, Day, or anywhere in Lafayette County’s quiet stretches of North Florida, you’re probably looking for answers that feel harder to find here than in bigger cities. Maybe you’re a veteran in Bucksville dealing with PTSD that the VA hasn’t been able to touch. Maybe you’re a farmer outside of Mayo whose back hasn’t been right since the last harvest, and you’re tired of pills that make you foggy. Maybe you’re a caregiver for a loved one facing cancer treatment at Shands in Gainesville, and you’ve heard whispers about cannabis oil in the waiting rooms. Maybe you’re just cannabis-curious and wondering what’s actually legal, what actually works, and who you can actually trust when the nearest dispensary is an hour away in Lake City or Tallahassee.

We get it. Lafayette County isn’t Houston. It’s rural, it’s tight-knit, and it’s built on hard work and direct talk. That’s why we’re reaching out to you specifically, from our home base in Houston’s Montrose neighborhood, with something we believe matters for every corner of America—including your corner of the Suwannee Valley.

This guide is about Rick Simpson Oil (RSO). But more than that, it’s about separating fact from hope, science from story, and real access from empty promises. We wrote it for the people of Lafayette County because we believe you deserve the same depth of information that patients in major medical centers take for granted—even if you’re hours from the nearest major hospital.

Who is Rick Simpson, and Why Does His Story Matter in Lafayette County?

Rick Simpson was born in 1949 in Amherst, Nova Scotia, Canada. He wasn’t a doctor, a scientist, or a researcher. He was a power engineer and maintenance worker—a tradesman in a small Canadian town, not unlike the hardworking folks who keep Lafayette County’s farms and timber operations running. His story begins with injury and frustration that probably sounds familiar to anyone here who’s been hurt on the job and told to just take what the doctor prescribes.

In 1997, Simpson fell from scaffolding at a hospital in Moncton. The head injury left him with persistent tinnitus, dizziness, and pain that conventional medicine couldn’t fix. The medications he was given either didn’t work or made things worse. When he discovered cannabis provided relief, his doctor refused to discuss it. So he did what a lot of people in rural areas do—he took matters into his own hands .

His curiosity deepened after learning about a 1974 study where THC reportedly slowed tumors in mice. That study was flawed—it was never replicated in humans—but it planted a seed. Then in 2003, Simpson claims three bumps on his arm were diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma. He applied concentrated cannabis oil, covered them with bandages, and says they disappeared in four days. No doctor verified this. No biopsy confirmed it. But this personal experience became the origin story of Rick Simpson Oil .

Here’s the honest truth we need Lafayette County readers to understand: Simpson’s account is personal testimony, not medical evidence. He had no medical training. He never ran a clinical trial. His evidence was his own experience and the stories people told him. That doesn’t make his story worthless—personal testimony can be powerful, especially in communities like ours where word-of-mouth medicine still carries weight—but it means we have to be clear about what we know and what we don’t.

Simpson’s story matters because it sparked a global movement. After 2003, he gave his oil away for free to cancer patients, chronic pain sufferers, and anyone who asked. He distributed over 60 grams over 90 days—a protocol that became legendary in cannabis circles. His 2005 documentary Run From The Cure spread his message worldwide, and his 2012 book Phoenix Tears laid out his method for anyone to follow .

But here’s what Simpson got right and what he overstated, especially for someone in Lafayette County looking at cancer treatment options in Gainesville or Tallahassee:

What he got right: He drew attention to cannabinoids as serious medicine when the world was ignoring them. He helped create the conditions for the legal cannabis industry we have today. The term “RSO” is now the most recognized name for full-spectrum cannabis extract because of him .

What he overstated: He claimed RSO could cure cancer and many other diseases. He encouraged people to use it instead of proven cancer therapies. That’s dangerous, especially for our neighbors who might delay surgery, radiation, or chemo at Shands or Mayo Clinic because they believe an oil will fix everything. The evidence simply doesn’t support cure claims—no human clinical trial has demonstrated that RSO or any cannabis oil cures cancer . Preclinical studies show THC and CBD can kill cancer cells in petri dishes and slow tumors in mice, but that hasn’t translated to human cures .

The Traditional RSO Protocol: What It Was and Why It Was Problematic

Simpson’s 60-gram, 90-day protocol is famous. If you’re in Lafayette County cancer support groups or veteran circles, you may have heard about it. Here’s exactly what it entailed:

Goal: Consume 60 grams of oil over roughly 90 days.

Week 1: Start with a dose the size of half a grain of rice—about 10-15 mg—three times daily. That’s roughly 30-45 mg total per day.

Weeks 2-5: Double the dose every four days until you reach 1 gram (1,000 mg) per day, divided into three doses.

Weeks 5-12: Maintain 1 gram per day until all 60 grams are gone.

Administration: Primarily oral (under the tongue), sometimes topical for skin issues, never as primary inhalation.

Tolerance: Simpson claimed patients develop tolerance to THC’s high within 3-4 weeks, making the psychoactive effects manageable.

Important context for Lafayette County readers:

This protocol was designed for crude, unstandardized oil with unknown potency. Assuming traditional RSO was 60-90% THC, the peak dosing phase delivered 600-900 mg of delta-9 THC per day. For perspective, the FDA-approved synthetic THC drug dronabinol is typically dosed at 2.5-20 mg per day. Simpson’s protocol was 30-400 times higher than medical standards .

At those doses, patients face severe risks: intense intoxication, anxiety, panic, tachycardia, low blood pressure, and cannabis use disorder. For cancer patients already medically complex, adding this level of uncontrolled cannabinoid exposure without medical supervision is genuinely dangerous [1][14][15].

Traditional RSO also used naphtha or isopropyl alcohol—solvents not meant for consumption. Incomplete purging leaves toxic residues. The process destroyed all terpenes. There was no lab testing, no standardization, no way to know what you were actually taking from batch to batch .

For someone in Lafayette County who might be making their own oil from plants they grew, these risks are real. The solvent safety issues are severe—naphtha contains benzene and other carcinogens. The fire risk during extraction is significant, especially in rural settings where emergency response may be slower.

The Origin of OilWell Cannabis: From a Dog Named Bentley to Houston’s Authority

OilWell Cannabis wasn’t born in a boardroom. It was born the day a paralyzed dog named Bentley got up and walked.

Colin Valencia, our founder, grew up in McAllen, Texas—right across the river from Reynosa, Mexico, in one of the most dangerous and economically challenged border regions in North America. By sixteen, he’d seen violence most people never imagine. Friends were killed or imprisoned. He learned to hustle, but he chose cannabis over harder paths because he saw it as safer and more beneficial .

He later became a formally trained software engineer, doing custom development for Baylor College of Medicine in the Texas Medical Center. That combination—deep cannabis plant knowledge plus medical-grade technical precision—defines everything we do.

But the company truly began with Bentley. Bentley was family, a companion who stood by Colin through the toughest times. When Bentley fell seriously ill—paralyzed in his hind legs, facing euthanasia—veterinarians said pain meds would destroy his organs. The choice was prolonged suffering or mercy killing.

Colin refused to accept that. A rescue worker named Jessica asked him a question that changed everything: “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and you’ve never heard of CBD?”

Colin had cannabis experience, but it was recreational. He’d never explored the therapeutic side. He created a CBD golden paste for Bentley. And Bentley got up. He walked over and brought Colin his ball. Dogs don’t respond to placebo. This was real cannabinoid medicine doing what pharmaceuticals couldn’t .

Bentley lived another ten years, passing naturally at age twenty. During those years, Colin developed formulas for every age-related condition Bentley faced:

• Neurodegeneration → CBG’s neuroprotective properties and THCa’s PPARγ agonism for brain cell protection
• Dementia → CBC’s role in neurogenesis
• Glaucoma → THC’s CB1 agonism for intraocular pressure
• Arthritis → Multi-pathway anti-inflammatory approach using CBD, CBG, THCa, and beta-caryophyllene

Single cannabinoids weren’t enough. Bentley’s evolving conditions required multi-cannabinoid synergy. That necessity—that real-world, life-or-death testing on a beloved companion—is why our RSO formula contains seven cannabinoids, not one or two. Pharmaceutical precision mattered because Bentley’s life depended on formula accuracy, not guesswork .

Colin also knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He struggled with PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction. When he quit Xanax cold turkey—one of the hardest things anyone can do—he used the same cannabinoid knowledge that kept Bentley alive. Our Peace Gummies were created during midnight experiments while fighting through benzo withdrawal. Colin personally uses the vape form for insomnia and severe PTSD. This isn’t theoretical knowledge. He lived what RSO patients live: desperation for relief, failed pharmaceuticals, the discovery that cannabinoids work when pills don’t .

Over time, doctors started using our formulas for Crohn’s disease, IBS, ulcerative colitis, PTSD, benzo addiction, and insomnia. We developed custom products for vegans, diabetics, and people with specific health needs. And ABC13 Houston—America’s fourth-largest city’s number-one news source—featured Colin seven times across four years, on topics from Delta-8 legality to COVID community health to criminal justice reform. When they need an expert on cannabis, they call Colin .

The OilWell RSO Philosophy: What Makes Us Different for Lafayette County

Our RSO isn’t traditional Rick Simpson Oil. It’s a formulated, multi-cannabinoid product informed by the RSO tradition but deliberately different in ways that solve problems Simpson’s approach couldn’t. Four principles define us:

1. Accessibility Over Gatekeeping

In Lafayette County, getting a medical marijuana card means finding a doctor who participates (there are few in rural North Florida), paying consultation fees, and qualifying under Florida’s restrictive list of conditions. Many people who could benefit don’t qualify.

We require no medical card. Anyone age 21+ can purchase. We ship directly to your door in Mayo, Day, or anywhere in Lafayette County. You don’t have to drive to Lake City or Tallahassee. You don’t have to explain your medical history to a stranger. Simpson believed medicine should be accessible; we built a legal distribution model that makes that real for rural Florida .

2. Patient-Controlled Potency

Traditional RSO was always psychoactive—the heat of extraction converted all THCa to THC. You had no choice.

Our sublingual formula contains 1,500 mg of THCa in its raw, non-psychoactive form. You decide:

• Raw (no heat): All 1,500 mg stays as THCa—completely non-psychoactive. You get anti-inflammatory benefits via COX-2 inhibition and neuroprotective effects via PPARγ agonism without any high. Perfect for daytime use, work, driving, parenting—zero impairment [12].

• Fully activated (home decarboxylation): Heat the oil at 260°F for 45-60 minutes, and 1,500 mg THCa converts to ~1,315 mg delta-9 THC. Combined with the existing 90 mg delta-9 THC and 6,000 mg delta-8 THC, you get psychoactive potency comparable to traditional illegal RSO—100% legally, because activation happens after you purchase .

• Vape (instant activation): Our vape cartridge vaporizes at 400-450°F, converting THCa to delta-9 THC with each puff. Fastest relief available—onset in 1-2 minutes .

This puts the potency decision in your hands. Simpson believed patients should control their medicine; we engineered a product that actually gives you that control through chemistry, not just rhetoric.

3. Open-Source Formulas

Simpson gave his oil away for free and taught people how to make it. He never patented anything. We honor that ethos by publishing our complete formulas publicly—every cannabinoid, every milligram, every percentage.

If you’re in Lafayette County on a fixed income, or if $129.99 for our sublingual oil isn’t in your budget right now, you can see exactly what the formula contains, source the individual distillates and isolates, and make your own version. The formulas are in this document. We’re transparent because that’s what real medicine looks like .

We even published Bentley’s original CBD golden paste recipe—the exact formula that saved a paralyzed dog—so any pet owner anywhere, including rural Florida, can make it themselves:

Bentley’s CBD Golden Paste Recipe:

• 1/2 cup organic turmeric powder
• 1 cup water
• 1/3 cup organic coconut oil
• 1-2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• CBD oil (dose per pet’s size)
  Mix turmeric and water over low heat into a paste, add oil and pepper, cool, store refrigerated for up to 2 weeks. Mix with food. This is free. This is open-source. This is who we are .

4. Evidence-Informed, Not Evidence-Overstating

The GENERAL KNOWLEDGE section of this document (pages 28-40) represents our commitment to honest education. Simpson operated without access to peer-reviewed literature; we have that access and use it to distinguish what’s well-supported, what’s emerging, and what’s overstated.

For Lafayette County readers dealing with serious conditions, this matters. You deserve to know that:

• CBD has strong evidence for seizures and emerging evidence for anxiety and pain, but sleep claims are weaker [3][4][5].
• Delta-9 THC helps with chemo nausea and appetite but carries real psychiatric risks at high doses [13][15].
• CBG is promising but clinically immature [7][8].
• CBN’s reputation as a sleep aid is stronger than its evidence [16][17].
• Terpenes are biologically plausible but human clinical proof is limited [20][29].

We won’t sell you snake oil. We’ll give you the best possible version of the information so you can decide what’s right for you.

The Science Behind Our Formula: What Lafayette County Readers Need to Know

Our RSO formula isn’t a random mix. It’s a deliberate multi-cannabinoid blend where each compound serves a purpose, supported by the evidence hierarchy detailed in our GENERAL KNOWLEDGE section. Here’s what each component does:

CBD (4,500 mg in sublingual oil)

• Best evidence: Seizure disorders (Epidiolex approval) [2].
• Emerging evidence: Anxiety reduction in systematic reviews [3], pain relief in clinical studies [4].
• Safety note: High doses can affect liver enzymes and interact with medications—important if you’re seeing doctors in Gainesville or Tallahassee who may not know you’re using cannabinoids [6].
• Why it’s here: Provides non-psychoactive baseline relief for anxiety, inflammation, and pain without impairment.

CBG (3,000 mg)

• Evidence: Mostly preclinical and review-level; human data sparse [7][8].
• Pharmacology: Interacts with cannabinoid receptors, alpha-2 adrenoceptors, and 5-HT1A pathways—mechanistically interesting but not clinically established [7].
• Why it’s here: Potential neuroprotection for aging Lafayette County residents, anti-inflammatory effects for arthritis from years of physical labor.

Delta-8 THC (6,000 mg)

• Evidence: Pharmacologically active but less clinically characterized than delta-9 [9]-[11].
• Effects: Partial CB1 agonist, less potent than delta-9, but still psychoactive [9].
• Safety: Public health literature notes adverse event reports and manufacturing quality concerns [10].
• Why it’s here: Provides therapeutic THC effects with potentially milder psychoactive profile than delta-9.

THCa (1,500 mg)

• Evidence: Acidic precursor to THC; non-psychoactive unless heated [12].
• Potential: COX-2 inhibition (anti-inflammatory), PPARγ agonism (neuroprotective) [12].
• Why it’s here: This is the game-changer for Lafayette County. You can use it raw for daytime anti-inflammatory relief with zero high, or decarb it for full psychoactive potency when you need it. One product, two completely different applications.

Delta-9 THC (90 mg total)

• Evidence: Strongest psychoactive cannabinoid evidence; FDA-approved for nausea and appetite [1][13].
• Safety: High doses linked to psychosis, anxiety, CUD—especially concerning at Simpson’s 600-900 mg/day levels [15].
• Why it’s here: At just 90 mg total (3 mg/mL), we include enough for entourage effect and legal compliance without the risks of traditional RSO’s massive THC load.

CBN (750 mg)

• Evidence: Marketed for sleep, but clinical support is weak—no validated trials found in systematic reviews [16][17].
• Why it’s here: Included at 25 mg per mL (750 mg/30 mL) to match dosages investigated in recent sleep literature, but we won’t overstate its effects.

CBC (750 mg)

• Evidence: Emerging, preclinical; distinct pharmacology from other cannabinoids [18][19].
• Why it’s here: Potential neurogenesis support, anti-inflammatory properties—promising but not yet proven.

Live Terpenes (5%)

• Profile: Limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene, linalool, humulene, terpinolene.
• Evidence: Bioactive and plausible, but human clinical proof of entourage effects is limited [20][29].
• Why they’re here: Aroma, flavor, potential synergistic effects, and to restore what traditional RSO destroyed during extraction.

Traditional RSO vs. OilWell’s Modern Formula: A Side-by-Side Comparison for Lafayette County

Solvent Safety: Why It Matters in Rural Florida

Traditional RSO used naphtha—a petroleum-based solvent found in lighter fluid. Naphtha may contain benzene, toluene, and other carcinogens. Isopropyl alcohol is cleaner but still not food-grade. Incomplete purging leaves toxic residues that can damage your liver and nervous system.

We produce our RSO without solvents. We blend pure cannabinoid distillates and isolates in a controlled environment, using organic MCT oil as the carrier. This eliminates the #1 safety risk of DIY RSO production—a risk that’s especially serious in Lafayette County where home extraction might happen without proper ventilation or fire safety measures.

Every batch is tested by third-party labs for:

• Potency (HPLC/UHPLC, ±2% accuracy)
• Heavy metals (ICP-MS for arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury)
• Pesticides (400+ compounds via LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS)
• Residual solvents (FDA Class 3 limits <5,000 ppm)
• Microbial contaminants (E. coli, Salmonella, Aspergillus)

Certificates of Analysis (COAs) are available for every product. This is what medical-grade quality looks like, whether you’re in the Texas Medical Center or rural Lafayette County.

The Decarboxylation Choice: Patient-Controlled Potency Explained

This is the most important innovation for Lafayette County readers. Here’s how it works:

THCa (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is the raw, non-psychoactive precursor to THC. It’s legally distinct from THC because it’s not psychoactive in its acidic form. Our sublingual oil contains 1,500 mg of THCa.

When you heat THCa to 260°F (125°C) for 45-60 minutes, it undergoes decarboxylation—losing a CO₂ molecule and converting to delta-9 THC. The conversion ratio is approximately 1 mg THCa = 0.877 mg delta-9 THC.

Your three options:

1. Use it raw: Don’t heat it. THCa stays THCa. You get anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective benefits with zero high. Perfect for daytime use, work, driving, or if you simply don’t want psychoactive effects. This is revolutionary for Lafayette County residents who need to stay functional.

2. Partial decarb: Transfer a portion (say, 10 mL) to an oven-safe glass container and heat it. Keep the rest raw. Now you have two products from one purchase—non-psychoactive for day, psychoactive for night.

3. Full activation: Decarb the entire bottle. Your 1,500 mg THCa becomes ~1,315 mg delta-9 THC. Combined with the existing 90 mg delta-9 THC and 6,000 mg delta-8 THC, you have ~7,405 mg total psychoactive cannabinoids—potency comparable to traditional illegal RSO, but 100% legal because you performed the activation after legal purchase.

This means the same $129.99 bottle can be either:

• A non-psychoactive anti-inflammatory supplement (raw), OR
• A full-potency psychoactive cannabinoid medicine (decarbed)

You decide. Not us. Not the government. Not a doctor who won’t listen. This is patient control that Simpson advocated for but couldn’t deliver with his crude extraction method.

Two Product Formats: Which Is Right for Your Lafayette County Lifestyle?

We offer RSO in two formats because different situations call for different tools.

RSO Sublingual Oil ($129.99)

• 30 mL bottle with graduated dropper (0.1 mL increments)
• 16,590 mg total cannabinoids (553 mg/mL)
• Seven cannabinoids at precise ratios
• Onset: 15-45 minutes
• Duration: 4-6 hours
• Bioavailability: 13-19%
• Best for: Sustained relief, precise dosing, daytime or nighttime use depending on decarb choice
• Lafayette County use case: Take before bed for sleep support (delivers 25-50 mg CBN at 1-2 mL). Take a small raw dose in the morning for inflammation without impairment before heading to the timber stand or farm.

RSO Vape Cartridge ($49.99)

• 1-gram cartridge
• 900+ mg total cannabinoids
• Six cannabinoids (THCa auto-decarbs during vaping)
• Onset: 1-2 minutes (fastest available)

• Bioavailability: 10-35%
• Best for: Breakthrough pain, acute nausea, panic attacks, situations where you need relief now
• Lafayette County use case: You’re hit with sudden back pain while working your property. Three puffs deliver relief before you can make it back to the house.

When to Use Each Format: Practical Scenarios for Lafayette County

Condition-Specific Usage Context for Lafayette County Residents

Critical disclaimer: These contexts are based on research cited in our GENERAL KNOWLEDGE section. They are not medical prescriptions, not FDA-approved, and not a substitute for professional care. Always consult your healthcare provider, especially if you’re being treated at Shands, Lake City Medical Center, or any clinic. Do not operate vehicles or machinery while impaired.

Chemotherapy Support

If you’re making the drive from Lafayette County to Gainesville for chemo:

• Pre-treatment: 0.5-1.0 mL sublingual 1 hour before infusion
• Acute nausea: 2-3 vape puffs immediately as needed
• Post-treatment: 0.5 mL sublingual every 6 hours
• Sleep: 1-2 mL sublingual before bed (25-50 mg CBN)
• Evidence: Delta-8 and delta-9 THC antiemetic effects [9][13], CBD anxiety buffering [3]

Chronic Pain (Arthritis, Neuropathy, Old Injuries)

For those years of physical labor that Lafayette County demands:

• Daytime: 0.3-0.5 mL raw sublingual—functional relief without impairment
• Nighttime: 0.5-1.0 mL decarbed sublingual—full pain relief + sleep support
• Breakthrough: Vape as needed
• Evidence: CBD pain relief [4], delta-9 THC analgesia [13], caryophyllene CB2 activation [24], THCa COX-2 inhibition [12]

Sleep Disorders

When the quiet of rural Florida should bring rest but doesn’t:

• Before bed: 1-2 mL sublingual (delivers 25-50 mg CBN)
• At 1 mL: 25 mg CBN—above threshold associated with reduced sleep disturbance
• At 2 mL: 50 mg CBN—matches dosages in 2024 sleep literature
• Evidence: CBN sleep studies [16][17], but note evidence is still developing

Anxiety & Stress

For the pressures of rural life, financial stress, or PTSD:

• Daytime: 0.3 mL raw sublingual—CBD + CBG without impairment
• Nighttime: 1.0 mL sublingual—full profile including CBN
• Evidence: CBD anxiolytic effects [3], CBG pharmacology [7][8], limonene entourage [20]

Legal Framework for Lafayette County, Florida

This is the question we get most from Florida residents: “Is this actually legal?”

Federal Law: The 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight. Our sublingual oil contains only 90 mg delta-9 THC total in 30 mL—well under 0.3% .

Florida Law: Florida has a medical marijuana program (TCUP) that requires a medical card and qualifying conditions. However, hemp-derived products are separate. Our products are Farm Bill compliant and do not require a medical card. They are legal for adults 21+ in Lafayette County and throughout Florida.

THCa Specifics: THCa is not delta-9 THC. It’s the non-psychoactive precursor. At room temperature, it stays THCa. When you heat it (decarb), it becomes THC. This is legal chemistry, not a loophole. You’re purchasing a legal hemp product and performing a legal home conversion.

Drug Testing: If you use raw THCa without decarboxylating, standard drug tests likely won’t detect it. If you decarb or vape, you will test positive for THC. Be honest with employers. This is critical for Lafayette County residents who work for the school district, sheriff’s office, or any job requiring drug screening.

Your Responsibility: You are responsible for complying with local laws. We ship with full documentation, COAs, and receipts. If you choose to decarb, that’s your decision made in your home. Our job is to provide the education and the legal product.

Competitive Comparison: Why OilWell for Lafayette County?

OilWell vs. Florida Medical Marijuana (TCUP)

Bottom line: If you have a Florida medical card and live near a dispensary, TCUP products work for many people. But if you don’t qualify, can’t afford the card, live far from dispensaries, or want a multi-cannabinoid approach with THCa control, OilWell is your legal alternative.

OilWell vs. Hemp CBD Products

Media Recognition: Why ABC13 Houston Trusts Colin Valencia

Between 2019-2023, ABC13 Houston featured Colin in seven segments. Five different reporters sought him out. Why? Because when they need to explain cannabis to 2.3 million Houstonians, they go to someone who tells the truth.

September 2019: Colin’s foundational 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: On helping other entrepreneurs—”Pain comes in a lot of different forms.”

May 2021: On Delta-8—”Maybe you want to get high.” Radical honesty about psychoactive effects.

August 2021: $35,000 in free product to encourage COVID vaccination—community health leadership.

October 2021: Proactively removed all Delta-8 products overnight when Texas reclassified them, warning other operators they were shipping Schedule I narcotics without knowing it—ethical crisis management.

October 2022: Revealed Colin’s personal marijuana conviction history, explaining how cannabis criminalization impacts housing, loans, banking—authenticity and personal stakes.

April 2023: “Right now is actually a pretty—like Renaissance—pretty important time that should be enjoyed now.” Framing legal cannabis as opportunity.

These features can’t be purchased. They can only be earned. That credibility extends to you in Lafayette County.

Addressing Lafayette County’s Specific Needs

Chronic Pain from Physical Labor

Lafayette County’s economy runs on agriculture, timber, and manual labor. Years of physical work take a toll. Traditional RSO’s massive THC doses might help pain but leave you too impaired to function. Our raw THCa option gives you anti-inflammatory relief (via COX-2 inhibition and CB2 activation from caryophyllene) without the high, so you can keep working safely [12][24].

Limited Healthcare Access

When the nearest pain specialist is in Gainesville or Tallahassee, you need options you can manage at home. Our evidence-based dosing guide gives you a framework to start low and go slow, with clear onset times and duration. You can call us at (832) 416-2816 with questions. We’re not doctors, but we’ll give you honest information.

Veteran Community

Lafayette County has veterans who served our country and came home with PTSD, chronic pain, and nightmares. Our Peace Gummies were created while Colin fought benzo withdrawal. The Asshole Peach vape is favored by veterans for PTSD relief. We understand that pain comes in many forms, and we’re here to help—not with platitudes, but with real products developed by someone who’s lived it .

Opioid Concerns

Rural Florida has been hit by the opioid crisis. If you’re in Lafayette County and worried about addiction or side effects from prescription painkillers, our non-psychoactive raw option offers a different path. It’s not a replacement for medical care, but it might be a tool your doctor hasn’t considered.

Economic Practicality

We know $129.99 is real money in Lafayette County. That’s why we publish our open-source formula. If you can source distillates cheaper and make your own, do it. We’d rather you have access than make a sale. And if you buy from us, you’re getting 16,590 mg of total cannabinoids—significantly more cost-effective than most products on the market.

The Bottom Line for Lafayette County

If you’re in Lafayette County and you’re curious about RSO, you have options. You could:

• Try to find a medical marijuana doctor, pay for a consultation, and drive to Lake City or Tallahassee for dispensary products that are THC-only and expensive.
• Risk making traditional RSO at home with dangerous solvents, unknown potency, and no testing.
• Order from anonymous online brands that don’t publish formulas, don’t cite evidence, and don’t answer the phone when you have questions.

Or you could work with a company that:

• Publishes every milligram of our formulas
• Cites 29 peer-reviewed studies in this document alone
• Has been vetted by a major ABC affiliate over seven features across four years
• Offers transparent, legal, lab-tested products delivered to your door
• Gives you patient-controlled potency so you decide how psychoactive your medicine is
• Open-sources our recipe so you’re never locked out by price

We’re not here to sell you snake oil. We’re here to give you the best possible version of the information and the product so you can give it a fair shot and decide if it’s right or wrong for you.

Final Thoughts from Our Founder

Colin’s quote from 2019 still drives us: “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.”

We bring Houston grit, McAllen roots, and a builder’s mindset to everything we do. But our posture stays simple: make products with intent, answer directly, and never pretend cannabis is right for everyone.

For Lafayette County—for Mayo, Day, and every quiet road in between—we’re here to provide real education, real transparency, and real access. No hype. No gatekeeping. No snake oil.

Just the best version we can make, delivered to your door, with all the information you need to decide for yourself.
