By the end, you’ll have everything you need to decide if RSO is right for you—and how to get started safely and effectively.

The Truth About Rick Simpson and Traditional RSO: What Most People Don’t Know

Who Was Rick Simpson?

Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor, scientist, or medical researcher. He was a power engineer from Nova Scotia, Canada, who became one of the most famous figures in cannabis history—not because of clinical trials, but because of one life-changing moment.

In 1997, Simpson suffered a serious head injury while working at a hospital in New Brunswick. The accident left him with persistent tinnitus, dizziness, and post-concussion symptoms that conventional medicine couldn’t resolve. The medications he was prescribed either didn’t help or made things worse. When he asked his doctor about cannabis, the request was refused.

Simpson’s turning point came in 2003, when he developed basal cell carcinoma—a form of skin cancer—on his arm. Instead of pursuing surgery or radiation, he applied concentrated cannabis oil directly to the lesions, covered them with bandages, and waited. According to his account, the bumps disappeared within days.

But here’s the critical context most RSO discussions miss:

• There was no independent medical verification of his results.
• No biopsy confirmation or clinical follow-up was ever published.
• Simpson’s evidence was personal testimony, not peer-reviewed science.

Yet despite the lack of formal documentation, his story spread like wildfire. The 2005 documentary Run From The Cure—distributed freely online—made RSO a global phenomenon. Simpson began giving his oil away for free to cancer patients, chronic pain sufferers, and people with conditions like diabetes, glaucoma, and arthritis. His mission was simple: Cannabis should be accessible to everyone, not locked behind pharmaceutical gatekeepers.

The Problem with Traditional RSO

Simpson’s oil was groundbreaking for its time, but it had serious limitations—many of which still affect RSO products sold today:

Issue	Traditional RSO	OilWell’s Modern RSO
Solvent Safety	Made with naphtha (petroleum-based, toxic) or isopropyl alcohol (not food-grade)	Solvent-free—blended from lab-tested distillates in organic MCT oil
Cannabinoid Profile	THC-dominant (60-90% THC), no standardization	7 cannabinoids (CBD, CBG, delta-8 THC, THCa, delta-9 THC, CBN, CBC) at precise ratios
Terpenes	Destroyed by high-heat extraction	Live terpenes at 5% (limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, etc.) for enhanced effects
Potency Control	Always psychoactive (fully decarboxylated)	Patient-controlled: Use raw (non-psychoactive) or decarb at home for full potency
Dosing Accuracy	Unknown potency (no lab testing)	553mg cannabinoids per mL—precise, consistent, and measurable
Legal Access	Illegal in most places (Schedule I)	Farm Bill-compliant (≤0.3% delta-9 THC), ships nationwide

Simpson’s protocol called for 60 grams of oil over 90 days—a massive dose that delivered 600-900mg of THC per day. While some patients reported benefits, this approach carried serious risks, including:

• Severe intoxication (anxiety, paranoia, rapid heart rate)
• Impairment (unsafe for driving or work)
• Cannabis use disorder (tolerance, dependence)
• No quality control (contaminants, inconsistent potency)

The bottom line:
Rick Simpson’s work helped spark a revolution in cannabis medicine. But traditional RSO was never designed for safety, consistency, or modern evidence-based use. That’s where OilWell’s formulas come in.

OilWell Cannabis: How We’re Bringing RSO into the 21st Century

From Houston to Lauderdale County: A Mission Born from Personal Struggle

OilWell Cannabis wasn’t built in a boardroom. It was built in Houston, Texas, by Colin Valencia—a man whose life has been shaped by hardship, resilience, and a deep belief in the healing power of cannabis.

Colin grew up in McAllen, Texas, just across the border from Reynosa, Mexico—one of the most dangerous regions in North America. His childhood was marked by violence, poverty, and loss. Many of his closest friends were killed or imprisoned due to cartel activity and the war on drugs. By age 16, he had to leave home for good.

Despite the challenges, Colin chose cannabis over harder paths. He became an expert in the plant, learning its intricacies while operating in the underground market. Later, he transitioned into legal cannabis, founding OilWell in 2019 after a life-changing experience with his dog, Bentley.

The Bentley Story: How a Paralyzed Dog Changed Everything

Bentley was more than a pet—he was family. When veterinarians told Colin that Bentley was paralyzed and facing euthanasia, Colin refused to give up. He had heard about CBD, but like many people, he didn’t know where to start.

After researching, he created a CBD golden paste—a simple formula of turmeric, coconut oil, black pepper, and CBD oil. Within days, Bentley got up, walked over to Colin, and brought him his ball. It wasn’t a cure, but it was hope.

Bentley lived 10 more years, defying every veterinary prediction. During that time, Colin developed specialized cannabis formulas for Bentley’s evolving conditions:

• Neurodegeneration → CBG (neuroprotective) + THCa (PPARγ agonist)
• Dementia → CBC (neurogenesis)
• Glaucoma → THC (CB1 agonist for intraocular pressure)
• Arthritis → CBD, CBG, THCa, and beta-caryophyllene (multi-pathway anti-inflammatory)

The lesson? Single cannabinoids weren’t enough. Bentley’s conditions required multi-cannabinoid synergy—the same approach OilWell uses in its RSO formulas today.

From Pets to People: Colin’s Own Battle with PTSD and Benzos

Colin’s journey with cannabis didn’t stop with Bentley. He also struggled with severe PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction—a battle many in Lauderdale County can relate to, especially veterans and first responders.

When he decided to quit Xanax cold turkey, he used the same cannabinoid knowledge he’d developed for Bentley. The Peace Gummies formula—now one of OilWell’s most popular products—was born from midnight experiments during benzo withdrawal. To this day, Colin uses the vape form of Peace Gummies to manage his insomnia and PTSD.

This isn’t theoretical for Colin. He lives what his customers live.

ABC13 Houston: Why OilWell is Trusted by Mainstream Media

OilWell’s credibility isn’t just based on personal stories—it’s backed by hard facts. ABC13 Houston (KTRK), the city’s top-rated news station, has featured Colin and OilWell in seven major segments since 2019, covering:

• Texas CBD laws (2019)
• Delta-8 THC legalization (2021)
• COVID-19 vaccine incentives ($35,000 in free products given away)
• Delta-8 ban impact (Colin proactively removed all products before enforcement)
• Biden’s marijuana pardons (Colin revealed his personal cannabis conviction)
• Cannabis industry growth (2023)

No other Houston cannabis company has been featured this often or across this many topics. When ABC13 needs an expert on cannabis policy, products, or science, they call Colin Valencia.

Why does this matter for Lauderdale County?
Because trust is everything when it comes to your health. OilWell isn’t just another online brand—it’s a company with real roots, real science, and real media validation.

OilWell’s RSO Formulas: The Most Advanced RSO Available in Lauderdale County

Why OilWell’s RSO is Different (and Better) Than Traditional RSO

Traditional RSO was THC-dominant, untested, and made with toxic solvents. OilWell’s RSO is designed for safety, precision, and real-world use—with seven cannabinoids, live terpenes, and patient-controlled potency.

Here’s what makes it the best RSO available in Lauderdale County:

Feature	Traditional RSO	OilWell RSO
Cannabinoids	THC-only (60-90%)	7 cannabinoids (CBD, CBG, delta-8 THC, THCa, delta-9 THC, CBN, CBC)
Terpenes	Destroyed by heat	Live terpenes at 5% (limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, etc.)
Potency Control	Always psychoactive	Patient-controlled: Use raw (non-psychoactive) or decarb at home
Solvent Safety	Made with naphtha (toxic)	Solvent-free (organic MCT oil base)
Lab Testing	No testing	Full-panel COAs (pesticides, heavy metals, solvents, potency)
Dosing Accuracy	Unknown potency	553mg cannabinoids per mL (precise, consistent)
Legal Access	Illegal in most places	Farm Bill-compliant (≤0.3% delta-9 THC), ships nationwide
Product Formats	Single thick oil	Sublingual oil + vape cartridge (for different needs)

The Science Behind the Formula: How Each Cannabinoid Works

OilWell’s RSO isn’t just stronger than traditional RSO—it’s smarter. Each cannabinoid in the formula has unique benefits, and when combined, they create a synergistic effect (often called the “entourage effect”).

Here’s a breakdown of each compound and how it contributes to the formula:

1. CBD (4,500mg) – The Foundation of Relief

• Best for: Pain, anxiety, inflammation, seizures
• How it works:
  • Non-psychoactive (won’t get you high)
  • Reduces inflammation (COX-2 inhibition)
  • Balances THC’s psychoactivity (reduces anxiety/paranoia)
  • Supports sleep (indirectly, by reducing anxiety)
• Lauderdale County relevance:
  • Many in the area deal with chronic pain (agricultural work, arthritis, injuries).
  • Anxiety and stress are common, especially among veterans and first responders.
  • Epilepsy and seizure disorders affect families across Tennessee—CBD is the only FDA-approved cannabinoid for epilepsy (Epidiolex).

The science:

• A 2024 meta-analysis found CBD significantly reduces anxiety in clinical settings [3].
• 2023 pain studies show CBD helps with neuropathic and inflammatory pain [4].
• NCCIH (NIH) confirms CBD’s safety and efficacy for rare seizure disorders [1].

2. CBG (3,000mg) – The “Stem Cell” Cannabinoid

• Best for: Neuroprotection, gut health, inflammation, focus
• How it works:
  • Neuroprotective (may help with Huntington’s, Parkinson’s, and brain injuries)
  • Anti-inflammatory (works on different pathways than CBD)
  • Antibacterial (studies show it fights MRSA and other resistant bacteria)
  • May improve focus (unlike THC, which can impair cognition)
• Lauderdale County relevance:
  • Agricultural workers often deal with joint pain and inflammation—CBG’s anti-inflammatory effects can help.
  • Neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s) affect many older residents.
  • Gut health issues (IBS, Crohn’s) are common—CBG may help regulate digestion.

The science:

• A 2024 review found CBG has neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects [8].
• 2021 pharmacology study showed CBG interacts with alpha-2 adrenoceptors and 5-HT1A, making it unique among cannabinoids [7].

3. Delta-8 THC (6,000mg) – THC’s Gentler Cousin

• Best for: Pain relief, nausea, appetite stimulation, mild euphoria
• How it works:
  • ~50-70% as strong as delta-9 THC (less anxiety/paranoia)
  • Anti-nausea (studies show it helps with chemotherapy-induced nausea)
  • Appetite stimulation (helpful for cancer patients, HIV/AIDS, eating disorders)
  • Milder high (better for daytime use than delta-9 THC)
• Lauderdale County relevance:
  • Cancer patients undergoing chemo often struggle with nausea and loss of appetite—delta-8 can help.
  • Chronic pain sufferers who want THC’s benefits without intense psychoactivity.
  • Veterans and PTSD patients who need pain relief without heavy sedation.

The science:

• 2022 review found delta-8 THC has similar effects to delta-9 THC but with less intensity [9].
• 2023 scoping review noted delta-8’s antiemetic (anti-nausea) properties [10].

4. THCa (1,500mg) – The Raw, Non-Psychoactive Powerhouse

• Best for: Inflammation, neuroprotection, daytime use (non-psychoactive)
• How it works:
  • Not psychoactive (unless heated—then it converts to THC)
  • Anti-inflammatory (stronger than THC for some conditions)
  • Neuroprotective (may help with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, TBI)
  • Can be used raw (for daytime relief without impairment)
• Lauderdale County relevance:
  • Farmers, construction workers, and laborers who need pain relief without getting high.
  • Neurodegenerative patients (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s) who need brain protection.
  • People who want THC’s benefits but must pass drug tests (THCa is non-psychoactive until heated).

The science:

• 2016 review found THCa has anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects [12].
• 2024 study showed THCa may help with chronic pain and arthritis [12].

5. Delta-9 THC (90mg) – The Classic Pain Reliever (Legally Compliant)

• Best for: Pain, sleep, appetite, relaxation
• How it works:
  • The primary psychoactive compound in cannabis (but only 90mg in the entire bottle—well under the 0.3% legal limit)
  • Pain relief (works on CB1 receptors in the brain and nervous system)
  • Sleep aid (helps with insomnia and sleep disturbances)
  • Appetite stimulation (the “munchies” effect)
• Lauderdale County relevance:
  • Chronic pain sufferers (back pain, arthritis, injuries).
  • Insomnia patients who struggle with falling or staying asleep.
  • Cancer patients who need appetite stimulation during treatment.

The science:

• 2022 meta-analysis found THC helps with chronic pain but can cause dizziness and sedation [13].
• NCCIH (NIH) confirms THC’s efficacy for chemotherapy-induced nausea and HIV/AIDS-related appetite loss [1].

6. CBN (750mg) – The Sleep Cannabinoid (With a Caveat)

• Best for: Sleep, relaxation, anti-inflammatory
• How it works:
  • Mildly sedating (though not as strong as marketing claims suggest)
  • Anti-inflammatory (works on CB2 receptors)
  • May enhance THC’s effects (synergistic with other cannabinoids)
• Lauderdale County relevance:
  • Insomnia and sleep disorders are common in rural areas.
  • Older adults who need gentle sleep support without heavy sedatives.
  • People with chronic pain who struggle with nighttime discomfort.

The science (and the reality check):

• 2021 review found no strong clinical evidence that CBN alone promotes sleep [16].
• 2024 sleep study noted that CBN may help with sleep when combined with THC [17].
• Bottom line: CBN is not a magic sleep bullet, but it contributes to the entourage effect.

7. CBC (750mg) – The “Brain Repair” Cannabinoid

• Best for: Neuroprotection, mood, anti-inflammatory
• How it works:
  • Promotes neurogenesis (may help with brain injuries, depression, PTSD)
  • Anti-inflammatory (works on different pathways than CBD)
  • May enhance THC’s pain-relieving effects
• Lauderdale County relevance:
  • Veterans and first responders with PTSD or TBI (traumatic brain injury).
  • Depression and anxiety sufferers who need mood support.
  • Chronic pain patients who want additional anti-inflammatory benefits.

The science:

• 2024 review found CBC has neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects [18].
• 2021 study showed CBC may help with neurological disorders [19].

The Terpenes: Why They Matter in OilWell’s RSO

Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in cannabis (and many other plants) that enhance the effects of cannabinoids. Traditional RSO destroys terpenes during extraction, but OilWell’s formula preserves them at 5% concentration.

Here’s how each terpene contributes:

Terpene	Aroma	Potential Benefits	Lauderdale County Relevance
Limonene	Citrus (lemon, orange)	Mood enhancement, anti-anxiety, anti-inflammatory	Stress relief, depression, uplifting effects
Myrcene	Earthy, musky (mango, hops)	Sedation, muscle relaxation, pain relief	Sleep support, pain management
Caryophyllene	Spicy, peppery (black pepper, cloves)	Anti-inflammatory, pain relief, CB2 agonist (works like a cannabinoid)	Arthritis, gut health, chronic pain
Pinene	Piney, fresh (pine trees, rosemary)	Alertness, memory support, anti-inflammatory	Daytime focus, lung health
Linalool	Floral, lavender	Calming, anti-anxiety, sleep aid	Stress, insomnia, PTSD
Humulene	Earthy, woody (hops, beer)	Anti-inflammatory, appetite suppressant	Pain relief, weight management
Terpinolene	Herbal, fruity (lilac, apples)	Sedation, antioxidant, anti-cancer (preclinical)	Sleep, relaxation, cellular health

The science:

• A 2024 entourage effect review found terpenes enhance cannabinoid activity [20].
• Beta-caryophyllene is the only terpene that directly activates CB2 receptors (like a cannabinoid) [24].

How Lauderdale County Residents Can Legally Access RSO

Is RSO Legal in Tennessee?

Yes—but with important caveats.

• Federal law (2018 Farm Bill): Hemp-derived products with ≤0.3% delta-9 THC are legal.
• Tennessee state law: Follows federal guidelines—hemp-derived RSO is legal.
• OilWell’s RSO: Contains only 90mg delta-9 THC in the entire 30mL bottle (well under the 0.3% limit).

However:

• THCa converts to delta-9 THC when heated (decarboxylation).
• If you decarb the oil at home, the total delta-9 THC can reach ~1,405mg (similar to traditional RSO).
• You are responsible for complying with local laws—OilWell provides full documentation (COAs, receipts) for customs and legal purposes.

How to Use RSO: Dosing, Methods, and What to Expect

1. Choosing Your Format: Sublingual Oil vs. Vape Cartridge

OilWell offers two formats, each with different benefits:

Use Case	Best Format	Why?
Fast relief (acute pain, nausea, panic attacks)	Vape Cartridge	1-2 minute onset
Sustained relief (chronic pain, sleep)	Sublingual Oil	4-6 hour duration
Maximum bioavailability	Sublingual Oil	13-19% absorption
Portability & discretion	Vape Cartridge	No measuring, easy to carry
Precise dosing	Sublingual Oil	Graduated dropper (0.1mL increments)
Daytime non-psychoactive use	Sublingual Oil (raw)	THCa stays inactive, zero impairment
Nighttime psychoactive use	Sublingual Oil (decarbed) or Vape	Activated THCa + delta-8 THC

2. How to Decarboxylate THCa (If You Want Psychoactive Effects)

THCa is non-psychoactive—but when heated, it converts to delta-9 THC.

To decarb your RSO:

1. Preheat oven to 260°F (125°C).
2. Transfer 1-2mL of oil to an oven-safe glass container (like a small Pyrex dish).
3. Cover with aluminum foil (to prevent evaporation).
4. Bake for 45-60 minutes.
5. Let cool, then mix back into the original bottle (or store separately).

What happens when you decarb?

• 1,500mg THCa → ~1,315mg delta-9 THC
• Total delta-9 THC (after decarb) = ~1,405mg (similar to traditional RSO)

Important:

• Do not decarb the entire bottle at once—only what you plan to use.
• THC is psychoactive—do not drive or operate machinery after decarbing.

3. Dosing Guidelines (Start Low, Go Slow)

General rule: Start with 0.25-0.5mL sublingual oil and wait 2-3 hours before increasing.

Condition	Starting Dose (Sublingual Oil)	Notes
Chemo nausea	0.5-1.0mL before treatment	Delta-8 THC helps with nausea
Chronic pain	0.3-0.5mL (raw) daytime, 0.5-1.0mL (decarbed) nighttime	CBG + CBD for inflammation
Sleep	1.0-2.0mL before bed	CBN + THC for sedation
Anxiety	0.3mL (raw) daytime	CBD + limonene for calming
PTSD/Trauma	0.5-1.0mL (raw) daytime, 1.0-2.0mL (decarbed) nighttime	THC helps with nightmares
Appetite stimulation	0.5-1.0mL (decarbed)	Delta-9 THC triggers hunger

Breakthrough pain/nausea?

• Use the vape cartridge for instant relief (1-2 minutes).

Titration tip:

• Keep a journal to track effects.
• Wait at least 2 hours before redosing (sublingual oil can take 1-2 hours to peak).
• If you feel too high, drink water, eat something, and lie down. The effects will wear off in 4-6 hours.

4. What to Expect: Effects, Side Effects, and Safety

Effect	What It Feels Like	Duration
Pain relief	Warm, numbing sensation; reduced discomfort	4-6 hours (oil), 2-4 hours (vape)
Relaxation	Calm, body feels heavier, mind quieter	4-6 hours
Euphoria (if decarbed)	Mild to moderate “high” (less intense than smoking)	3-5 hours
Sleepiness	Drowsiness, easier to fall asleep	4-8 hours
Increased appetite	“Munchies” (if decarbed)	2-4 hours

Possible side effects (usually mild):

• Dry mouth
• Dizziness (especially with THC)
• Temporary anxiety/paranoia (if sensitive to THC)
• Mild sedation

Safety warnings:

• Do not drive or operate machinery if using decarbed oil or vape.
• Consult a doctor if you’re on medications (especially blood thinners, sedatives, or antidepressants).
• Start low, go slow—especially if you’re new to THC.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About RSO in Lauderdale County

1. Is RSO legal in Tennessee?

✅ Yes, as long as it’s hemp-derived and contains ≤0.3% delta-9 THC.

• OilWell’s RSO meets this requirement (90mg delta-9 THC in the entire 30mL bottle).
• However, if you decarb the oil at home, the delta-9 THC content increases significantly (~1,405mg total).
• You are responsible for complying with local laws—OilWell provides full documentation (COAs, receipts) for legal purposes.

2. Will RSO get me high?

• Raw RSO (THCa not decarbed): No—THCa is non-psychoactive.
• Decarbed RSO (THCa converted to THC): Yes—similar to traditional cannabis oil.
• Vape cartridge: Yes—THCa auto-decarbs when vaped.

3. Will RSO make me fail a drug test?

• Raw RSO (THCa): Unlikely—most drug tests look for delta-9 THC, not THCa.
• Decarbed RSO or vape: Yes—THC will show up on a drug test.
• Delta-8 THC: May trigger a positive (some tests detect it as THC).

If you’re subject to drug testing:

• Stick to raw RSO (non-decarbed).
• Avoid delta-8 THC (can trigger false positives).

4. How is OilWell’s RSO different from CBD oil?

Feature	CBD Oil	OilWell RSO
Cannabinoids	Usually CBD-only	7 cannabinoids (CBD, CBG, delta-8, THCa, etc.)
THC content	0% THC (usually)	THCa (non-psychoactive) + delta-8 THC (mildly psychoactive)
Terpenes	Often none	5% live terpenes (enhances effects)
Potency	Low to moderate (50-1,000mg per bottle)	Very high (16,590mg per bottle)
Psychoactive option	No	Yes (if decarbed)

Bottom line:

• CBD oil is non-psychoactive and milder.
• OilWell RSO is stronger, more versatile, and designed for serious conditions.

5. How long does RSO take to work?

Method	Onset Time	Peak Effects	Duration
Sublingual (raw)	15-45 minutes	1-2 hours	4-6 hours
Sublingual (decarbed)	15-45 minutes	1-2 hours	4-6 hours
Vape cartridge	1-2 minutes	10-15 minutes	2-4 hours

6. Can I use RSO while taking other medications?

Possibly, but consult your doctor first.

• CBD and THC can interact with:
  • Blood thinners (warfarin, Coumadin)
  • Sedatives (benzos, sleeping pills)
  • Antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs)
  • Heart medications (beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers)
• Always check with your doctor before combining RSO with prescription meds.

7. Is RSO safe for pets?

❌ No—OilWell’s RSO is formulated for humans and contains THC (even in raw form).

• For pets, use CBD-only products (like OilWell’s Bentley Golden Paste).
• THC is toxic to dogs and cats—even small amounts can cause lethargy, vomiting, or seizures.

8. How should I store RSO?

• Store in a cool, dark place (like a cabinet or fridge).
• Keep away from heat and light (prevents THCa from converting to THC).
• Use within 6 months for best potency.

9. Can I travel with RSO?

⚠️ Proceed with caution.

• Within Tennessee: Legal if hemp-derived and ≤0.3% delta-9 THC.
• Flying? Not recommended—TSA does not allow cannabis products (even hemp-derived).
• Driving? Do not use decarbed RSO or vape while driving (impairment risk).

10. What if I take too much RSO?

Don’t panic—it’s not dangerous, but it can be uncomfortable.

• Common overconsumption effects:
  • Dizziness
  • Anxiety/paranoia
  • Dry mouth
  • Rapid heart rate
• What to do:
  • Drink water (helps with dry mouth).
  • Eat something (fats like peanut butter can help absorb THC).
  • Lie down and rest (effects will wear off in 4-6 hours).
  • Avoid caffeine or stimulants (can worsen anxiety).

Final Thoughts: Is RSO Right for You?

RSO isn’t for everyone. But for Lauderdale County residents dealing with:
✅ Chronic pain (arthritis, back pain, injuries)
✅ Sleep disorders (insomnia, PTSD nightmares)
✅ Anxiety and stress (veterans, caregivers, everyday life)
✅ Cancer support (nausea, appetite, pain)
✅ PTSD and trauma (veterans, first responders, survivors)

OilWell’s RSO offers a legal, lab-tested, and evidence-backed option—one that respects the tradition of Rick Simpson while bringing it into the modern era of cannabinoid science.

Key Takeaways for Lauderdale County:

1. RSO is legal in Tennessee (if hemp-derived and ≤0.3% delta-9 THC).
