Understanding Rick Simpson Oil: The History Every Madison County Resident Should Know

Who Was Rick Simpson, and Why Does His Story Matter Here?

Rick Simpson was born in 1949 in Amherst, Nova Scotia, Canada. He wasn’t a doctor, scientist, or medical researcher—he was a power engineer and maintenance worker, a blue-collar tradesman whose journey into cannabis began because the medical system failed him. In 1997, while working at a hospital in Moncton, New Brunswick, Simpson fell from scaffolding and suffered a serious head injury. The aftermath included persistent tinnitus, dizziness, and post-concussion symptoms that conventional medicine couldn’t resolve. The medications prescribed either didn’t help or made things worse. When he asked his physician about cannabis, the request was refused .

We share this story because it resonates across Madison County. How many of us have watched loved ones cycle through ineffective prescriptions after a workplace injury? How many farmers in our community deal with chronic pain from decades of physical labor, only to be offered opioids that carry addiction risks? Simpson’s experience of being dismissed by the medical establishment is one many Idahoans understand personally.

Simpson’s interest deepened after learning about a 1974 NIH-funded study at the Medical College of Virginia, where THC was reported to slow tumor growth in mice. That study—originally intended to demonstrate harm—became his foundational reference, even though its findings were never replicated in controlled human trials .

The 2003 Skin Cancer Story That Started a Movement

The pivotal moment came in 2003 when Simpson reported that three bumps on his arm were diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma. Rather than pursuing conventional treatment, he applied concentrated cannabis oil directly to the lesions. According to his account, they disappeared within four days. Important context: No independent medical verification, biopsy confirmation, or clinical documentation of this outcome has ever been published in peer-reviewed literature . This was personal testimony, not medical evidence—but it became the origin story of Rick Simpson Oil and sparked a global movement.

For Madison County residents facing skin cancer—especially those who spend long hours under the Idaho sun working in agriculture or outdoor recreation—it’s easy to see why this story resonates. But we owe you honesty: anecdotal stories, while compelling, are not clinical proof. That’s why we’ve built our entire approach around what the science actually says.

The 60-Gram Protocol: What Simpson Recommended

After his 2003 experience, Simpson committed himself to producing and distributing concentrated cannabis oil, giving it away for free to cancer patients and others in his community. He developed a specific protocol that many people in Madison County may encounter online:

The Goal: Consume 60 grams of cannabis oil over approximately 90 days.

Titration Schedule:

• Week 1: Start with a dose the size of half a grain of rice (10-15mg) taken three times daily
• Weeks 2-5: Double the dose every four days, building tolerance gradually
• Weeks 5-12: Reach and maintain 1 gram per day (approximately 333mg per dose) until completing the full 60 grams

Administration Methods:

• Primary: Oral/sublingual for systemic absorption (most important for internal cancers)
• Secondary: Topical application for skin cancers and lesions
• Not Recommended: Smoking or vaporizing as a primary treatment method

Tolerance and Psychoactive Effects: Simpson maintained patients would develop tolerance to THC’s psychoactive effects within 3-4 weeks. He recommended nighttime dosing initially and warned against driving during the titration period.

Post-Protocol Maintenance: After completing the 60-gram course, Simpson recommended 1-2 grams per month indefinitely.

Critical Context for Madison County: Evaluating This Protocol

This protocol was designed by one person based on personal experience, not clinical trials. Here’s what you need to know:

• No controlled trial validation exists for this specific 60-gram/90-day protocol for any cancer type
• Assumes crude, unstandardized material with variable potency (60-90% THC estimated)
• Very high THC exposure: At peak dosing, patients consume roughly 600-900mg of delta-9 THC daily—far exceeding anything studied in controlled clinical settings (for context, FDA-approved dronabinol is typically 2.5-20mg daily)
• Real risks at these doses: Severe intoxication, impairment, anxiety, panic, tachycardia, hypotension, and cannabis use disorder are well-documented risks [1][13][14][15]
• Oncology complexity: Patients with active cancer have medically complex conditions. Using unregulated, unstandardized cannabis oil as a primary treatment—potentially in place of proven therapies—introduces harm beyond the oil itself

For Madison County residents considering this approach: Please consult with healthcare providers at Madison Memorial Hospital, Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls, or your oncology team before making any decisions. This protocol represents historical context, not medical recommendation.

Traditional Rick Simpson Oil: What It Actually Was

The Product Characteristics

Understanding what traditional RSO was helps you evaluate what’s being sold today in Idaho and online:

Source Material: Single high-THC indica strains, with no standardization. The starting material varied by availability and growing season.

Extraction Process: Used naphtha (petroleum-based solvent) or 99% isopropyl alcohol—neither food-grade. The process involved soaking plant material, filtering, and evaporating solvent in a rice cooker at temperatures sufficient to decarboxylate all THCa into THC.

Appearance: Nearly black, thick, tar-like oil with strong cannabis odor and possible solvent-residual smell.

Cannabinoid Profile: Primarily decarboxylated delta-9 THC (60-90% estimated), with minor cannabinoids at whatever natural ratios the source strain contained—uncontrolled, unmeasured, never lab-verified.

Terpene Content: Minimal to none. The solvent and heat process destroyed virtually all volatile terpenes.

Standardization & Testing: None. Every batch was different. No Certificates of Analysis, no contaminant screening.

Residual Solvent Risk: Significant. Naphtha may contain benzene, toluene, and other carcinogens. Incomplete purging is difficult to verify without lab testing.

Why This Matters for Madison County

If you’ve seen products labeled “RSO” at vape shops in Rexburg or online vendors shipping to Idaho, you need to know: most bear little resemblance to what Simpson originally made. The term has become generic—used for almost any full-spectrum cannabis extract in a syringe, regardless of extraction method or quality.

The safety concerns are real: Idaho’s strict cannabis laws mean many residents turn to online sources or DIY extraction. Traditional RSO production using flammable solvents in home kitchens has caused fires and explosions nationwide. In Madison County’s rural areas with volunteer fire departments, the risk is even more serious.

OilWell Cannabis: Our Story and Why We’re Different

From the Borderplex to BYU-Idaho: A Foundation in Adversity

OilWell Cannabis was founded by Colin Valencia in Houston, Texas. Colin grew up in McAllen, Texas—right across from Reynosa, Mexico in the Borderplex, one of the most economically challenged and dangerous regions along the U.S.-Mexico border. He learned early to hustle, taking on risky work transporting items across the border. Many of his best friends have been killed or are in prison because of those dangers. He left home at sixteen.

Despite this, Colin chose cannabis over darker paths. He learned the plant intimately in the traditional pre-legalization world, then transitioned to legitimate business after becoming a formally trained software engineer who did custom development for Baylor College of Medicine—one of the most prestigious medical institutions in the Texas Medical Center. That combination of deep plant knowledge and medical-grade technical precision defines everything we do.

Bentley’s Story: Where Our Mission Began

Our company’s origin isn’t a boardroom strategy—it’s a dog named Bentley. Bentley was paralyzed in his back legs, facing euthanasia. Veterinarians said pain medications would destroy his internal organs. The choice was painful prolonged decline or immediate mercy killing.

But giving up wasn’t an option. In a desperate search for alternatives, a rescue worker 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 for Bentley. The results were miraculous: Bentley got up, walked over, and brought Colin his ball to play. Dogs don’t respond to placebo—this was real. Bentley lived another ten years, dying naturally at age twenty.

During those years, Colin developed specialized formulas for every 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
• 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. That necessity—keeping a beloved companion alive—became the foundation of our RSO formula.

Colin’s Personal Battle: PTSD and Benzo Withdrawal

Colin also knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He struggled with PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction. When he decided to quit Xanax cold turkey—a notoriously difficult and dangerous feat—he used the same cannabinoid knowledge that saved Bentley. Our Peace Gummies formula was created during midnight experiments while fighting through benzo withdrawal. To ensure quick relief, Colin personally uses the vape form to manage his insomnia and severe PTSD to this day.

This isn’t theoretical knowledge. Colin lived what RSO patients live: desperation for relief, failed pharmaceuticals, the discovery that cannabinoids work when pills do not.

Why Madison County Matters to Us

We may be based in Houston, but we understand communities like Madison County. We know you value:

• Self-sufficiency: That’s why we publish our complete formulas
• Family: That’s why our origin story is about saving a family member (Bentley)
• Integrity: That’s why we never make claims we can’t support with evidence
• Community: That’s why we gave away $35,000 in product to encourage COVID vaccinations and proactively removed Delta-8 products when they became illegal—warning other operators who were unknowingly shipping Schedule I narcotics

We’re not here to sell snake oil. We’re here to give Madison County residents the best possible version of RSO education so you can decide if it’s right or wrong for you.

Our RSO Philosophy: Four Principles That Matter in Idaho

1. Accessibility Over Gatekeeping

No medical card required. Anyone age 21 or older in Madison County can purchase our products. We ship directly to Rexburg, Sugar City, St. Anthony, and every rural route in the county.

Why this matters in Idaho: Our state has one of the most restrictive medical cannabis programs in the nation, with only about 10,000 active patients statewide—compared to Florida’s 700,000 with two-thirds the population. Most Madison County residents can’t access traditional medical cannabis. Our Farm Bill-compliant products create a legal pathway.

2. Patient-Controlled Potency

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

• Raw (no heat): All THCa stays inactive—completely non-psychoactive, safe for daytime use while working, driving, or parenting
• Fully activated (home decarboxylation): Heat at 260°F for 45-60 minutes converts THCa to ~1,315mg delta-9 THC, yielding ~1,405mg total THC—potency comparable to traditional illegal RSO, entirely at your discretion
• Vape (auto-decarboxylation): Instant conversion at 400-450°F for 1-2 minute onset

Why this matters for Madison County: Whether you’re a BYU-Idaho student needing daytime functional relief, a farmer requiring zero impairment during harvest, or a cancer patient wanting full therapeutic potency at night, one product serves all needs.

3. Open-Source Formulas

We publish our complete formulas publicly. If $129.99 for our sublingual oil or $49.99 for our vape cartridge doesn’t fit your budget, you can source the ingredients and make your own version. This echoes Rick Simpson’s original ethos of free distribution—adapted for modern Idaho.

The Bent ly Golden Paste Recipe (published free on our website) demonstrates this commitment. It’s the exact formula that saved Bentley’s life—turmeric, coconut oil, black pepper, and CBD oil—so any Madison County pet owner facing a similar crisis can make it today.

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:

• Well-supported: CBD for seizures, delta-9 THC for chemo nausea
• Emerging: CBG for neuroprotection, THCa for inflammation
• Overstated: CBN as a proven sleep aid, myrcene as a sedative

For Madison County’s research-savvy residents—especially those connected to BYU-Idaho’s academic community—this honesty matters. We cite 29 peer-reviewed studies so you can verify every claim.

Farm Bill Compliance and Legal Framework for Idaho

The Idaho Context

Idaho has historically maintained some of the strictest cannabis laws in America. However, the 2018 Farm Bill created a federal pathway for hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight. This is the legal foundation that makes our products accessible in Madison County.

Our RSO Sublingual Oil contains only 90mg of delta-9 THC in the entire 30mL bottle (3mg/mL)—well under the 0.3% threshold. All cannabinoids are hemp-derived. The product is legal under federal law and shipable to Idaho.

THCa Distinction: THCa is the non-psychoactive acidic precursor to THC. At the point of sale, it is not delta-9 THC, making it Farm Bill compliant. Idaho law enforcement focuses on delta-9 THC content, not THCa. This distinction is critical for Madison County residents concerned about legal risks.

Legal Notice for Madison County Residents

Important: THCa converts to delta-9 THC when heated. While our product is legal at purchase, you are responsible for understanding and complying with Idaho law regarding possession and use of activated THC products. We provide full documentation, Certificates of Analysis, and receipts with every shipment. Our products are void where prohibited by law.

Buyer Responsibility: Madison County customers must verify local legality. We ship with COAs that clearly show delta-9 THC content at <0.3%. If you choose to decarboxylate THCa at home, you accept responsibility for that transformation under Idaho law.

The Seven Cannabinoids: What Madison County Needs to Know

CBD (4,500mg in sublingual formula)

• Strongest human evidence in our formula—especially for seizure disorders [2]
• Anxiety: 2024 meta-analysis of 316 participants showed significant anxiolytic signal, though authors stress limited clinical samples [3]
• Pain: 2024 review found promising but heterogeneous evidence [4]
• Safety: 2023 meta-analysis identified liver enzyme elevation risk, important for concentrated oral products [6]
• Bottom line: Most evidence-developed nonintoxicating cannabinoid, but strong evidence is indication-specific, not broad wellness claims [1]-[6]

CBG (3,000mg)

• Evidence profile: Mostly preclinical; human evidence sparse [7][8]
• Pharmacology: Distinct from THC/CBD; interacts with cannabinoid receptors, alpha-2 adrenoceptors, 5-HT1A signaling [7]
• Research areas: Neurologic disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, antibacterial activity (preclinical) [7][8]
• Bottom line: Promising minor cannabinoid with limited clinical validation [7][8]

Delta-8 THC (6,000mg)

• Evidence profile: Pharmacologically relevant, psychoactive, much less clinically characterized than delta-9 [9]-[11]
• Comparative pharmacology: Partial CB1 agonist, less potent than delta-9, but broadly similar behavior [9]
• Public health: 2023 scoping review found evidence base dominated by animal studies, product chemistry, and use reports; adverse consequences reported [10]
• Bottom line: Psychoactive THC analogue with real pharmacologic activity and incomplete human safety data [9]-[11]

THCa (1,500mg)

• Evidence profile: Important chemically, low direct human therapeutic evidence [12]
• Key distinction: Does not produce psychoactive effects unless decarboxylated [12]
• Preclinical signals: Anti-inflammatory (COX-2), neuroprotective (PPARγ), immunomodulatory, antineoplastic [12]
• Bottom line: Relevant precursor molecule whose effects depend entirely on processing and storage [12]

Delta-9 THC (90mg total)

• Evidence profile: Strongest human evidence among psychoactive cannabinoids, but clearest adverse-effect burden [1][13]-[15]
• Institutional support: FDA-approved for chemotherapy nausea and HIV/AIDS wasting; modest evidence for chronic pain and MS symptoms [1]
• Pharmacokinetics: Inhaled onset seconds-minutes; oral onset delayed, longer duration [14]
• Mental health risk: 2025 systematic review found consistent unfavorable associations with psychosis/schizophrenia and cannabis use disorder at high concentrations [15]
• Bottom line: Legitimate therapeutic relevance but significant intoxication, psychiatric, and dose-related safety liabilities [1][13]-[15]

CBN (750mg)

• Evidence profile: Weak human evidence; marketing ahead of data [16][17]
• Sleep claims: 2021 narrative review of 99 human-study abstracts found no clinical trials using validated sleep questionnaires or polysomnography to support strong sleep-promoting claims [16]
• Broader sleep literature: 2024 review concluded cannabinoid sleep research still methodologically weak [17]
• Bottom line: Reputation stronger than clinical evidence; cultural reputation exceeds current data [16][17]

CBC (750mg)

• Evidence profile: Emerging, intriguing, overwhelmingly preclinical [18][19]
• Pharmacology: Distinct from other cannabinoids; antinociceptive, antibacterial, anti-seizure signals in preclinical work [18]
• Safety caveat: 2024 review notes over-the-counter CBC products sold despite little clinical efficacy or safety evidence [18]
• Bottom line: Scientifically credible minor cannabinoid deserving more research, not proven clinical active [18][19]

The Seven Terpenes: Sensory and Scientific Profile

Our formulas include live terpenes at 5%—a deliberate choice to restore what traditional RSO destroyed. For Madison County’s aroma-conscious community, here’s what you’ll experience:

Limonene (Citrus-Bright)

• Evidence: Multifunctional monoterpene with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory properties (mostly preclinical) [21]
• Safety: Oxidation products can be contact allergens [22]
• Madison County connection: Reminiscent of citrus groves—familiar, uplifting

Myrcene

• Evidence: Anxiolytic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory (preclinical); human evidence lacking [23]
• Common claim: “Sedating terpene that causes couch-lock”
• Reality: Human proof limited; claim ahead of evidence [23]

Caryophyllene (Pepper/Spice)

• Evidence: Selective CB2 receptor agonist—unusual and pharmacologically significant [24]
• Research: Anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, neuroprotective (preclinical) [24]
• Madison County relevance: CB2 activation without psychoactivity—ideal for daytime pain relief

Pinene (Forest-Fresh)

• Evidence: Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective (preclinical); clinical trials lacking [25]
• Memory claims: Often overstated; exploratory hypothesis, not settled fact [25]

Linalool (Floral, Lavender)

• Evidence: Stress, mood, brain-health pharmacology (preclinical) [25][26]
• Safety: Oxidized linalool hydroperoxides are recognized allergens [22]

Humulene (Earthy, Woody)

• Evidence: Anti-inflammatory, some rodent studies suggest cannabimimetic properties via CB1 and adenosine A2a [27]
• Status: Translationally interesting but early [27]

Terpinolene (Piney, Fruity, Sparkling)

• Evidence: Least clinically characterized; dominated by in silico, in vitro, animal studies [28]
• Bottom line: Biologically interesting but especially underdeveloped [28]

Common Overstatements We Refuse to Make

We’d rather lose a sale than mislead a Madison County resident:

Overstatement	What We Say Instead
“CBN is a proven sleep aid”	“Specific sleep evidence for CBN remains weak with no strong trial base” [16][17]
“Myrcene reliably causes sedation”	“Human proof for sedation claims is limited” [23]
“Terpenes have proven entourage effects”	“Entourage hypothesis is influential but robust clinical proof remains limited” [20][29]
“THCa is always non-psychoactive”	“THCa itself isn’t THC, but heating converts it—changing effective exposure” [12]
“Delta-8 is safe because hemp-derived”	“Delta-8 is psychoactive with less robust safety data than delta-9” [9]-[11]

Practical Takeaways for Madison County

1. Most evidence-developed actives: CBD and delta-9 THC
2. Delta-8 THC: Real psychoactivity, not trivial, less characterized safety
3. THCa: Changes with processing—raw vs. heated are different products
4. CBG/CBN/CBC: Scientifically credible but clinically immature vs. CBD/THC
5. Terpenes: Relevant for aroma/flavor, some bioactivity plausible, but therapeutic claims require caution
