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

If you’re reading this from Liberty County—whether you’re in Hinesville near Fort Stewart, out in the coastal quiet of Riceboro, or somewhere between Midway and Walthourville—you’ve probably heard the name Rick Simpson. Maybe a friend mentioned it at church. Maybe you saw it in a veteran’s support group. Maybe you’re up late searching because the pain just won’t let you sleep, and conventional medicine hasn’t given you answers. We get it. We’ve been there. And we built this guide for you.

This isn’t another marketing page. It’s everything we know about RSO, honest and unfiltered, written by people who’ve lived the desperation you’re feeling right now. We’ll tell you the real story of Rick Simpson—not the mythology. We’ll explain why his original oil had serious problems, and how we’ve spent ten years building something better. We’ll show you our exact formulas, published openly, because that’s how medicine should work. And we’ll tell you exactly how this legal, lab-tested, multi-cannabinoid RSO can reach your door in Liberty County, Georgia—whether you need it for chronic pain, sleep that won’t come, anxiety that won’t quit, or support through chemo.

Who Was Rick Simpson, Really?

Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor. He wasn’t a scientist. He was a power engineer from Nova Scotia—a blue-collar tradesman who got screwed over by the medical system and decided to do something about it. In 1997, he fell from scaffolding at a hospital in Moncton, suffered a serious head injury, and wound up with tinnitus, dizziness, and post-concussion symptoms that never went away. His doctors prescribed medications that either didn’t work or made things worse. When he asked about cannabis, his physician refused to consider it.

Sound familiar? Here in Liberty County, we know what it’s like when the system fails you. When you’re told there’s nothing more to be done. When you’re handed pills that create more problems than they solve. Simpson’s frustration wasn’t unique—it’s the same frustration felt by cancer patients at Liberty Regional Medical Center, by veterans at Fort Stewart struggling with PTSD, by chronic pain sufferers all across our coastal Georgia communities.

Simpson’s interest in concentrated cannabis oil deepened after discovering a 1974 NIH-funded study at the Medical College of Virginia, where THC reportedly slowed tumors in mice. That study—originally intended to demonstrate harm—became his reference point, even though its findings were never replicated in human trials.

The pivotal moment came in 2003. Simpson claimed three bumps on his arm were diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma. Instead of conventional treatment, he applied concentrated cannabis oil, covered them with bandages, and said they disappeared in four days. No biopsy. No independent verification. No clinical documentation. Just his word. But that personal testimony became the origin story of Rick Simpson Oil.

Important context: We present Simpson’s story as historically significant, not medically verified. His account is personal testimony, not clinical evidence. The absence of peer-reviewed documentation means these events cannot be evaluated as medical proof. But they launched a global movement—and for that, he deserves credit.

The Crusade: Spreading the Oil (and the Problems)

After 2003, Simpson began giving his oil away for free to cancer patients and others in his community. He claimed to help people with cancer, chronic pain, diabetes, infections, glaucoma, arthritis, depression, insomnia—dozens of conditions. He produced the oil in bulk and distributed it at no charge.

He also made a documentary called Run From The Cure in 2005, which spread his story worldwide. It became foundational in cannabis advocacy—the first time many people ever heard about concentrated cannabis oil as medicine.

But here’s what the documentary didn’t show: Simpson’s methods had serious flaws. He used naphtha—a petroleum-based solvent that’s not food-grade and may contain benzene and other carcinogens. He used isopropyl alcohol as an alternative, which also isn’t for human consumption. He evaporated the solvent in a rice cooker, which destroyed virtually all terpenes and left no way to verify complete solvent removal. Every batch was different. No lab testing. No standardization. No safety screening.

The RCMP raided him in 2005 and 2009. He was charged with cultivation, possession, and trafficking. Eventually, he left Canada for Europe, continuing his advocacy from Croatia and the Netherlands.

Simpson’s position remained absolute and uncompromising: RSO could cure cancer, and pharmaceutical companies, government agencies, and medical institutions were actively suppressing this knowledge. He framed his work as fighting institutional corruption.

What Simpson got right: He drew attention to cannabinoids as serious biomedical research when the world was ignoring it. He helped create the conditions for the legal cannabis industry. The term “RSO” remains the most recognized name for full-spectrum cannabis extract.

What he overstated: His cure claims exceeded the evidence. Encouraging patients to use RSO instead of proven cancer therapies carries genuine harm potential. Delayed or foregone treatment is a documented concern in alternative medicine.

Traditional RSO: What It Actually Was

Traditional RSO was a crude, single-strain, THC-dominant extract. It was nearly black, thick as tar, with a strong cannabis odor and possible solvent-residual smell. It contained 60-90% delta-9 THC, with minor cannabinoids at whatever natural ratios the source plant provided—uncontrolled, unmeasured, never lab-verified. It had minimal to no terpene content because the solvent and heat destroyed them.

Most concerning: every batch was different. No Certificate of Analysis. No cannabinoid quantification. No contaminant screening. The residual solvent risk was real and serious.

This matters for Liberty County residents because many people here have encountered black-market RSO or homemade versions that follow Simpson’s original method. If you’ve seen that tar-like oil, you need to understand it was never a standardized medicine.

The OilWell Difference: Why We Built Something Better

We’re OilWell Cannabis, founded in Houston, Texas, by Colin Valencia. Our story doesn’t start in a boardroom. It starts in McAllen, Texas—right across the river from Reynosa, Mexico, in one of the most economically challenged and dangerous border regions in America. Colin grew up there, learning to hustle, taking on risky work, seeing best friends killed or imprisoned. He left home at sixteen. He knows suffering. He knows what it means to be failed by systems.

Colin became a trained software engineer and did custom development for Baylor College of Medicine. That combination—deep cannabis plant knowledge plus medical-grade technical precision—defines everything we do.

But the real origin? A dog named Bentley.

Bentley’s Story: The Reason We Exist

Bentley was family. When he fell seriously ill, veterinarians said euthanasia was the only humane option. He was paralyzed in his back legs. Pain medications would destroy his organs. The choice was painful decline or immediate mercy killing.

Giving up wasn’t an option. In a desperate search for alternatives, 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 learned to create CBD golden paste—a specialized cannabinoid formula for pets. It wasn’t a cure, but it was hope. And that hope delivered something veterinary medicine said was impossible: Bentley got up. He walked over and brought Colin 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 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 reduction
• Crippling arthritis → Multi-pathway anti-inflammatory approaches using CBD, CBG, THCa, and beta-caryophyllene

Single cannabinoids weren’t enough. Bentley’s evolving conditions required multi-cannabinoid synergy. CBD alone couldn’t address everything. Minor cannabinoids became critical. Precision mattered—Bentley’s life depended on formula accuracy, not guesswork.

Colin’s Personal Battle: From Benzos to Breakthrough

Colin also knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He struggled with PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction. When he decided to quit Xanax cold turkey—something notoriously difficult and dangerous—he used the cannabinoid knowledge he developed keeping Bentley alive.

The Peace Gummies formula was 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.

The Four Pillars of OilWell RSO

Our RSO is not traditional RSO. It’s informed by the tradition but deliberately different in ways that solve the problems Simpson’s original approach couldn’t address.

1. Accessibility Over Gatekeeping

No medical card required. Anyone age 21+ can purchase. We ship nationwide and internationally to customers who verify local legality.

For Liberty County residents, this is transformative. You don’t need to drive to Savannah or Jacksonville. You don’t need a qualifying condition. You don’t need to navigate Georgia’s restrictive medical cannabis program. If you’re in Hinesville, Midway, Riceboro, or anywhere else in Liberty County, you can order directly and have it delivered to your door.

2. Patient-Controlled Potency

Traditional RSO was always fully psychoactive. Our formula contains 1,500mg of THCa in its acidic, non-psychoactive form. You control whether to use it raw (zero impairment, perfect for daytime) or decarboxylate it at home into delta-9 THC for full psychoactive potency.

This matters for Liberty County’s working families. If you need to function during the day—whether you’re at Fort Stewart, working at the port, or running a business in Hinesville—you can use the raw form without impairment. At night, when you need deeper relief, you can activate it.

The conversion is simple: Heat the oil at 260°F for 45-60 minutes. That converts 1,500mg THCa into approximately 1,315mg delta-9 THC. Combined with the existing 90mg delta-9 THC, you get ~1,405mg total—potency comparable to traditional illegal RSO. And it’s 100% legal because you control the activation after purchase.

3. Open-Source Formulas

We publish our complete formulas publicly—every cannabinoid, every milligram, every percentage. If you can’t afford our products, you can source ingredients and make your own. This echoes Simpson’s free-distribution ethos but adapts it for the modern marketplace: sell a professionally manufactured, lab-tested product for those who want it, and publish the recipe for those who want to make it.

For Liberty County residents on fixed incomes, this is crucial. You’re not shut out. You have the recipe.

4. Evidence-Informed, Not Evidence-Overstating

Simpson operated without access to peer-reviewed literature. We have that access, and we use it to distinguish between what’s well-supported, what’s emerging, and what’s overstated.

Our complete RSO guide includes 29 peer-reviewed citations. Every claim is anchored to specific research. We don’t exempt ourselves from the same evidence standards we apply to the broader field.

When to Use Each Format in Liberty County

Legal Status in Liberty County, Georgia

This is the question everyone asks: “Is this actually legal?”

Yes. Here’s why:

The 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight. Our sublingual oil contains only 90mg of delta-9 THC in the entire 30mL bottle—that’s 3mg/mL, well under the federal threshold. All cannabinoids are hemp-derived.

Georgia law aligns with the Farm Bill. Hemp products with <0.3% delta-9 THC are legal to purchase, possess, and use statewide, including in Liberty County. You do not need a medical card. You do not need a qualifying condition. You must be 21 or older.

Important: THCa is not delta-9 THC. Our product contains 1,500mg of THCa, which is non-psychoactive at point of sale. When you heat it at home, THCa converts to delta-9 THC. This conversion is legal because you control it after purchase.

For Liberty County specifically: Whether you’re in Hinesville city limits, unincorporated Liberty County, or any of our small towns like Midway or Riceboro, the same federal and state laws apply. We ship directly to your address with full documentation, COAs, and receipts. You’re not breaking any laws by ordering or receiving this product.

Customer responsibility: You must verify local laws. We provide all documentation for customs and legal purposes. International customers (including those in military families overseas) accept all customs and legal risk.

Condition-Specific Guidance for Liberty County Residents

Important disclaimer: This guidance is informed by research cited in our complete guide, not medical prescriptions. These products are not FDA-approved to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Always consult your healthcare provider. Do not operate vehicles or machinery while under the influence of psychoactive cannabinoids.

Chronic Pain (Arthritis, Neuropathy, Fibromyalgia)

Liberty County’s humid climate can worsen joint pain. Our multi-cannabinoid approach targets inflammation through multiple pathways:

• Daytime: 0.3-0.5mL raw sublingual (non-psychoactive) for anti-inflammatory support without impairment
• Nighttime: 0.5-1.0mL decarboxylated sublingual for deeper relief plus CBN sleep support
• Breakthrough pain: Vape as needed for rapid 1-2 minute onset

Evidence context: CBD pain research shows promise but remains heterogeneous [4]. Delta-9 THC has documented analgesic effects but with side effects [13]. Beta-caryophyllene’s CB2 agonism provides anti-inflammatory support [24]. THCa inhibits COX-2 [12]. This multi-pathway approach is why single-cannabinoid products often fail.

Sleep Disorders (Insomnia, PTSD Nightmares)

Many Liberty County veterans struggle with sleep. Our formula includes 750mg CBN per bottle.

• Before bed: 1.0-2.0mL sublingual
• At 2.0mL: Delivers 50mg CBN—the dosage level investigated in 2024 sleep literature [16][17]
• At 1.0mL: Delivers 25mg CBN—above the threshold associated with reduced sleep disturbance

Evidence context: CBN’s sleep reputation is stronger than its clinical evidence [16]. However, the combination of CBN with delta-8 THC’s anti-anxiety properties [9] and CBD’s anxiolytic effects [3] creates a synergistic approach that many find more effective than single-compound solutions.

Anxiety and Stress (PTSD, Generalized Anxiety)

Fort Stewart families know trauma. Our formula addresses anxiety through multiple mechanisms:

• Daytime functional relief: 0.3mL raw sublingual—CBD and CBG address anxiety pathways without psychoactive impairment
• Nighttime: 1.0mL sublingual—full profile including CBN for sleep architecture

Evidence context: CBD shows anxiolytic effects in systematic reviews [3]. CBG interacts with 5-HT1A receptors [7]. Limonene may enhance these effects through entourage mechanisms [20]. This is why we preserve live terpenes at 5%.

Chemotherapy Support (Nausea, Appetite, Sleep)

For Liberty County residents undergoing treatment at Savannah hospitals or traveling to Augusta:

• Pre-chemo: 0.5-1.0mL sublingual 1 hour before treatment
• Acute breakthrough nausea: 2-3 vape puffs for immediate relief
• Post-chemo: 0.5mL sublingual every 6 hours as needed
• Sleep during treatment: 1.0-2.0mL sublingual before bed

Evidence context: Delta-8 THC shows antiemetic properties [9]. Delta-9 THC is FDA-approved for chemo-related nausea [13]. CBD provides anxiolytic buffering [3].

Why OilWell? The Trust Signals That Matter

ABC13 Houston: Seven Features, Five Reporters, Four Years

We’ve been featured by ABC13 Houston—America’s fourth-largest market—seven times between 2019 and 2023. Not as paid advertising. As expert sources. When they needed someone to explain Delta-8, they called Colin. When a president announced marijuana pardons, they called Colin. When they needed context on Texas law changes, they called Colin.

Why this matters for Liberty County: Mainstream media validation from a major ABC affiliate establishes credibility that no amount of marketing can replicate. These features document our consistency, community action, and personal stakes.

The Personal Story That Changes Everything

In October 2022, ABC13 revealed that Colin has a personal marijuana conviction history. This isn’t a footnote—it’s the heart of our authenticity. Every quote about therapy, about not selling snake oil, about community—it all carries more weight when you know the person saying it has personally experienced the consequences of cannabis criminalization.

For Liberty County residents who’ve seen friends or family caught in the criminal justice system over a plant, this matters. We understand because we’ve lived it.

$35,000 Given Away to Fight COVID

In August 2021, we gave away 1,000 caviar pre-rolls (approximately $35,000 in product) to encourage COVID vaccination in Houston. We coordinated with the city. No political strings. Just: “We want Houston to be as healthy as possible.”

That’s not marketing. That’s character. And it’s the same character that drives everything we do.

The Science: What Each Compound Does

CBD (4,500mg per bottle)

Best supported for: Certain seizure disorders, with emerging but heterogeneous evidence for pain and anxiety [4][3]. Modest evidence for chronic pain [1]. Safety concerns include liver enzyme elevation and drug interactions [6].

CBG (3,000mg per bottle)

Pharmacology: Precursor cannabinoid with distinct receptor interactions [7]. Preclinical interest in neurologic disorders and inflammation, but human evidence remains sparse [8]. Commercialized ahead of clinical validation [7].

Delta-8 THC (6,000mg per bottle)

What it is: Psychoactive THC analogue with partial CB1 agonism, less potent than delta-9 THC [9]. Public health literature notes adverse event reports and manufacturing concerns [10]. Not trivial—real pharmacologic activity with incomplete safety data [9]-[11].

THCa (1,500mg per bottle)

Key feature: Non-psychoactive precursor that converts to delta-9 THC when heated [12]. Preclinical suggestions of anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective activity, but interpretation depends on route and processing [12].

Delta-9 THC (90mg per bottle)

Best supported for: Chemotherapy nausea, HIV/AIDS appetite, some MS and pain symptoms [1]. Strongest psychoactive cannabinoid here, with clear adverse-effect burden including impairment, psychiatric risk, and cannabis use disorder [13]-[15].

CBN (750mg per bottle)

Reputation vs. evidence: Marketed heavily for sleep, but clinical evidence remains weak—no robust trials using validated sleep measures [16][17]. Clear example where cultural claims exceed current data [16][17].

CBC (750mg per bottle)

Status: Emerging minor cannabinoid with intriguing preclinical pharmacology but very limited human trials [18][19]. Distinct from THC and CBD but clinically immature [18][19].

Terpenes: The Aromatic Dimension

Our products include live terpenes at 5%: limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene, linalool, humulene, terpinolene. These create the sensory experience and may contribute to effects, but human clinical proof remains limited [20][29].

• Caryophyllene is most interesting as a selective CB2 agonist [24]
• Limonene and linalool show preclinical antioxidant and anti-inflammatory signals [21][25]
• Myrcene and pinene have plausible bioactivity but limited human proof [23][25]

Bottom line: Terpenes make the product experience richer, but compound-specific therapeutic claims should be conservative [20][29].

Safety First: What Liberty County Residents Need to Know

Drug Interactions

CBD can affect liver enzymes and interact with medications [6]. If you’re taking prescriptions—especially for pain, anxiety, or cancer—consult your doctor before adding cannabinoids.

Impairment

Delta-8 and activated delta-9 THC will impair you. Do not drive or operate machinery. The raw THCa form does not cause impairment.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

NCCIH advises against cannabis use during pregnancy due to potential impacts on fetal development [1]. We support this guidance.

Mental Health

High-concentration THC products show consistent associations with psychosis, schizophrenia, and cannabis use disorder [15]. If you have a personal or family history of psychosis, discuss with a psychiatrist before using psychoactive cannabinoids.

Product Quality

Traditional RSO’s biggest problem was inconsistency. Every batch was different. Our products are lab-tested for potency, pesticides, heavy metals, residual solvents, and microbes. COAs are available on request.

The Bentley Recipe: Our Original Open-Source Formula

Before we published the RSO formulas, we published the CBD golden paste that saved Bentley—free for any pet owner facing a similar crisis. Here it is, exactly as we shared it:

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup organic turmeric powder
• 1 cup water
• 1/3 cup organic coconut oil
• 1-2 tsp freshly ground black pepper (for absorption)
• CBD oil (dosage per pet size; consult vet)

Instructions:

1. Mix turmeric and water in saucepan, stir over low heat until thick paste (7-10 minutes)
2. Add coconut oil and pepper, mix thoroughly
3. Cool and store in jar in refrigerator (up to 2 weeks)
4. Add CBD oil before serving, mix with pet’s food 1-2x daily

We shared this because it’s the right thing to do. That’s the same reason we publish our RSO formulas.

How to Decarboxylate Your RSO in Liberty County

If you want to activate the THCa into delta-9 THC for full psychoactive effects:

1. Preheat oven to 260°F (use an oven thermometer—accuracy matters)
2. Transfer desired amount to oven-safe glass container
3. Heat for 45-60 minutes
4. Cool before handling
5. Pro tip: Decarb only what you need in a separate container, leaving the rest raw for daytime use

Partial decarb: Heat for 20-30 minutes for moderate activation.

OilWell’s Broader Mission: Beyond RSO

We also create:

• Asshole Peach: Our most popular product, favored by veterans for PTSD and pain relief
• Peace Gummies: Born from Colin’s benzo withdrawal experience—available in gummy and vape form
• Custom creations: Tailored formulations for specific needs (vegans, diabetics, unique health circumstances)

If you’re in Liberty County with specific requirements, contact us. We design products for real people, not mass markets.

Final Thoughts for Liberty County
