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

We’ve been watching the conversation unfold across Leavenworth County—across Basehor and Tonganoxie, through the historic streets of Leavenworth, and even on the quiet country roads near Fort Leavenworth. People are talking. In hushed tones at the VA clinic, in worried conversations at the hospital waiting rooms, in Facebook groups for Kansas cancer caregivers, and in veterans’ halls where the weight of PTSD presses heavy on shoulders that have carried so much.

They’re talking about Rick Simpson Oil. About RSO. About whether it can help with the things that keep Leavenworth County families up at night: the cancer diagnosis that came out of nowhere, the chronic pain that makes it hard to work the fields or sit through a shift at the plant, the anxiety that cripples, the PTSD that won’t let go, the sleep that never comes.

We’re OilWell Cannabis, and we’re here to give you the full, unfiltered truth—because Leavenworth County deserves better than hype. We’re based in Houston, Texas, but our story started where many of yours did: in a moment of desperation when conventional medicine failed someone we loved. That’s how Bentley, a paralyzed dog facing euthanasia, became our first patient. That’s how Colin, our founder—a software engineer who did custom development for Baylor College of Medicine and grew up in the border violence of McAllen—ended up creating the most intelligently formulated RSO available anywhere. And that’s why ABC13 Houston, America’s fourth-largest news market, has featured us seven times since 2019, turning to us as their go-to cannabis authority.

But this isn’t about us. It’s about you—our neighbors in Leavenworth County. It’s about giving you the education to make informed decisions in a state where cannabis laws remain stubbornly restrictive and honest information is hard to come by.

Who Rick Simpson Was—and Why His Story Still Matters to Leavenworth County

Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor. He was a power engineer from Nova Scotia—a blue-collar tradesman, much like many of the skilled workers we know across Leavenworth County who keep our infrastructure running. In 1997, he fell from scaffolding, suffered a head injury, and developed tinnitus that conventional medicine couldn’t fix. His doctor dismissed cannabis when Simpson asked about it. Sound familiar? How many Leavenworth County residents have heard the same from their physicians?

Simpson’s pivotal moment came in 2003, when he claimed three bumps on his arm—diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma—disappeared after he applied concentrated cannabis oil and covered them with bandages. Important context: No biopsy confirmation exists. No independent medical verification was ever published. This was his personal testimony, not clinical evidence. But it sparked a global movement.

For the next decade, Simpson gave his oil away for free to people with cancer, chronic pain, diabetes, glaucoma, arthritis, depression, insomnia, and other conditions. He believed in accessibility—the same principle that drives us. He was raided by Canadian police, charged, and eventually forced into exile in Europe. His 2005 documentary Run From The Cure became the underground bible of cannabis oil, still circulating in Kansas Facebook groups today.

Simpson’s “traditional RSO protocol” is legendary: 60 grams of oil over 90 days. Start with a half-grain-of-rice dose three times daily, double every four days, reach 1 gram per day by week five, and maintain that for seven weeks. After completion, take 1-2 grams monthly as maintenance.

But here’s what nobody tells you in those Kansas cannabis forums:

• No clinical trials validate this protocol. None. Zero. It was never studied in a controlled setting.
• Traditional RSO contained 600-900mg of delta-9 THC per day at peak dosing—far exceeding anything studied safely.
• It was crude, unstandardized, and made with naphtha or isopropyl alcohol—solvents that can leave toxic residues.
• Every batch was different because it came from single-strain plants with no lab testing.
• It had no terpenes—the heat and solvents destroyed them.

Leavenworth County residents are practical people. You understand that when something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Simpson’s story is historically important, but his claims exceeded the evidence. We honor his mission of accessibility, but we’ve evolved the formula based on actual science.

How OilWell’s RSO is Different—And Why That Matters for Kansas

Our Story: From a Paralyzed Dog to the Texas Medical Center

Bentley, Colin’s dog, was paralyzed. Vets said euthanasia was the only humane option—the pain meds would destroy his organs. A rescue worker named Jessica asked Colin: “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, walked over, and brought his ball. That was ten years ago. Bentley lived to 20, and during those years, Colin developed formulas for every condition aging dogs face—neurodegeneration, dementia, glaucoma, arthritis. That knowledge—CBG for neuroprotection, THCa for COX-2 inflammation, CBC for neurogenesis, caryophyllene for CB2 activation—became the foundation of our RSO.

Colin also knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He struggled with PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction. He quit Xanax cold turkey using the same cannabinoid knowledge. Our Peace Gummies were born during midnight experiments in benzo withdrawal. Colin still uses the vape form for his insomnia and severe PTSD. This is lived experience, not theory.

Colin’s background—growing up in cartel violence, becoming a software engineer, doing custom dev work for Baylor College of Medicine—means we combine deep plant knowledge with medical-grade precision. When ABC13 needed an expert, they called him. Seven times. Five different reporters. From Delta-8 legal analysis to COVID vaccine giveaways to Biden pardon commentary, ABC13 turned to Colin because he tells the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable.

The Four Pillars of Our RSO Philosophy

1. Accessibility Over Gatekeeping

Kansas operates one of the most restrictive medical cannabis programs in America. Getting a medical card requires a terminal illness, intractable epilepsy, or severe symptoms that most doctors won’t certify. In Leavenworth County, that means most people who need cannabis can’t access it legally.

Our RSO requires no medical card. If you’re 21+, you can order it. We ship nationwide, including to Kansas. We deliver same-day to the Texas Medical Center—the world’s largest medical complex—because patients there need immediate access. For Leavenworth County residents, USPS Priority Mail delivers in 2-3 business days, fully legal under the Farm Bill.

2. Patient-Controlled Potency

Traditional RSO was always psychoactive—always. You had no choice. That doesn’t work for the single mom in Lansing who needs daytime relief but has to drive her kids to school. It doesn’t work for the veteran at Fort Leavenworth who wants anti-inflammatory benefits without impairment.

Our sublingual oil contains 1,500mg of THCa—the raw, non-psychoactive precursor. You decide:

• Raw (no heat): Zero impairment. THCa provides anti-inflammatory benefits via COX-2 inhibition and neuroprotective effects via PPARγ activation. Perfect for daytime use in Leavenworth County’s workforce.
• Decarboxylated (260°F for 45-60 min): Converts THCa to ~1,315mg delta-9 THC. Combined with existing 90mg, you get ~1,405mg delta-9 THC—potency comparable to traditional illegal RSO. You control it. Not us.
• Vape: Instant decarboxylation at 400-450°F. Fastest relief for breakthrough pain or panic attacks.

This is the most significant legal cannabis access innovation in history. Legal purchase, customer-controlled activation.

3. Open-Source Formulas

Rick Simpson gave his oil away for free. We publish our exact formulas publicly. If you can’t afford our $129.99 sublingual oil, you can source the cannabinoids yourself and make it. The formula is right here in this document. That’s our promise to Leavenworth County: education over exploitation.

4. Evidence-Informed, Not Evidence-Overstating

We don’t claim to cure cancer. We don’t claim cannabis is right for everyone. As Colin told ABC13 in 2019: “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.”

The Science Behind Every Milligram: What the Research Actually Says

Our Seven-Cannabinoid Formula Breakdown

Total: 16,590mg cannabinoids at 553mg/mL. This is 16x more total cannabinoids than typical hemp RSO products. It’s not about being “stronger”—it’s about being smarter.

Our Seven-Terpene Profile: More Than Just Aroma

We include live terpenes at 5% because preclinical research suggests they matter—though human proof remains limited. For Leavenworth County residents who understand agriculture, think of terpenes as the essential oils of cannabis. They modulate effects, enhance absorption, and create a richer experience.

• Limonene (citrus-bright): Possible mood elevation, anxiolytic. Safety note: oxidized limonene can be allergenic.
• Myrcene: Preclinical anti-inflammatory, analgesic. Sedation claims are overstated.
• Caryophyllene (pepper/spice): Unique CB2 agonist—directly engages the endocannabinoid system. Strongest terpene evidence.
• Pinene (forest-fresh): Possible bronchodilation, memory support. Human evidence weak.
• Linalool (lavender): Anxiolytic potential in preclinical models.
• Humulene (earthy/woody): Anti-inflammatory, appetite suppressant.
• Terpinolene (piney/fruity): Antioxidant, antimicrobial. Least clinical data.

Bottom line: Terpenes make the product better, but we don’t overstate. They complement cannabinoids—we don’t claim they cure anything.

Safety: What Leavenworth County Needs to Know

We’re not going to sugarcoat this. Cannabis has risks. The NIH, FDA, and NCCIH are clear:

• Impairment: Don’t drive or operate machinery after decarboxylating THCa or using the vape. Kansas DUI laws are strict.
• Drug interactions: CBD can affect liver enzymes, especially problematic for patients on multiple medications—a common scenario for Leavenworth County’s aging population.
• Cannabis Use Disorder: High THC doses carry addiction risk. Our graduated dropper (0.1mL increments) supports controlled titration.
• Pregnancy: Avoid. Period.
• Labeling accuracy: Many products don’t match labels. We provide third-party COAs for every batch—tested for potency, pesticides, heavy metals, residual solvents, microbes.

For Leavenworth County specifically: If you’re subject to drug testing for your job (many federal contractors, healthcare workers, and transportation employees are), understand that decarboxylated THCa will trigger positive results. Use the raw form if you must test clean. We’re honest about this. Our competitors often aren’t.

Condition-Specific Context for Leavenworth County

We’re not doctors. Always consult your healthcare provider. But here’s what the research suggests for conditions we know affect Leavenworth County:

For Cancer Patients (traveling to KU Cancer Center or North Kansas City Hospital)

• Pre-chemo: 0.5-1mL sublingual 1 hour before treatment. Delta-8 provides antiemetic support [9].
• Breakthrough nausea: Vape 2-3 puffs. Instant relief.
• Post-chemo: 0.5mL every 6 hours as needed.
• Sleep: 1-2mL at bedtime (25-50mg CBN).

Evidence: Delta-9 THC and delta-8 THC have proven antiemetic effects [1][9][13]. CBD may buffer anxiety [3].

Important: RSO is NOT a substitute for proven cancer therapies. Simpson’s mistake was claiming it cured cancer. The evidence does not support that. Use RSO as complementary support, not replacement.

For Chronic Pain (Backs, knees, arthritis from years of physical labor)

• Daytime: 0.3-0.5mL raw sublingual. No impairment for work.
• Nighttime: 0.5-1mL decarbed sublingual. CBN aids sleep.
• Breakthrough: Vape as needed.

Evidence: CBD analgesic potential [4]; delta-9 THC pain relief [13]; caryophyllene CB2 activation [24]; THCa COX-2 inhibition [12].

For PTSD and Anxiety (Especially Fort Leavenworth Veterans)

• Daytime functional: 0.3mL raw sublingual. CBD and CBG address anxiety pathways [3][7] without impairment.
• Nighttime: 1mL sublingual. Full profile plus CBN for sleep architecture.
• Acute panic: Vape for 1-2 minute onset.

Evidence: CBD anxiolytic meta-analysis shows promise [3]; limonene may elevate mood [20]; Colin’s personal benzo withdrawal story validates lived experience.

For veterans: Our Peace Gummies were created during Colin’s Xanax withdrawal. The vape is what he uses for severe PTSD. We understand.

For Sleep Disorders

• Before bed: 1-2mL sublingual delivers 25-50mg CBN.
• Evidence: CBN sleep claims are overstated [16][17], but 50mg aligns with emerging literature. Combined with other cannabinoids, it may support sleep architecture.

General Titration Principle (Leavenworth County Practicality)

Start low. Go slow. Leavenworth County folks are sensible. You don’t need to take a gram a day like Simpson’s protocol. That’s dangerous and unnecessary. Start with 0.25-0.5mL. Wait 2-3 hours. Assess. Adjust. Your body, your decision.

Legal Compliance for Kansas Residents

The 2018 Farm Bill is your shield. Our sublingual oil contains only 90mg delta-9 THC in the entire 30mL bottle—well under the 0.3% federal limit. All cannabinoids are hemp-derived.

Kansas law is restrictive. The state medical cannabis program (TCUP) is limited to terminal illness and a few severe conditions. Most Leavenworth County residents don’t qualify. That’s why Farm Bill compliance matters—you can legally order our product without a medical card.

Important disclaimers:

• 21+ only
• Not evaluated by FDA
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease
• Keep out of reach of children
• May cause drowsiness—do not operate vehicles after decarbing
• Buyer responsible for verifying local laws

Drug testing: Decarbed THCa will trigger positive results. Use raw form if testing is a concern.

The ABC13 Credibility: Why Major Media Trusts Us

Between 2019-2023, ABC13 Houston featured Colin in seven segments:

• 2019: CBD business boom—“I’m not trying to sell people snake oil.”
• 2021: Delta-8 legal analysis—raw honesty about psychoactivity
• 2021: COVID vaccine giveaway—$35,000 in product to encourage vaccination
• 2021: Delta-8 ban—proactive removal, warning other operators
• 2022: Biden pardon—revealing Colin’s personal cannabis conviction
• 2023: Texas legalization—expert industry commentary

Five different reporters sought us out. That doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because we tell the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable.

Competitive Comparison: Why OilWell Stands Apart

Final Thoughts for Leavenworth County
