Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Monroe County, Illinois: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis
If you’re reading this from Waterloo, Columbia, or anywhere across Monroe County’s rolling farmland, you’re probably searching for something real. Maybe it’s for yourself—a neighbor in Valmeyer managing chronic back pain from decades of farm work. Maybe it’s for a loved one in Hecker facing chemotherapy miles from the nearest oncology center. Or maybe you’re just tired of the pharmaceutical carousel and want answers that make sense for how we live here in southern Illinois.
We get it. We started OilWell Cannabis in Houston, Texas, but our story—Colin’s story, Bentley’s story—belongs to anyone who’s been let down by a system that promises relief and delivers side effects. And now we’ve built something that can reach you right here in Monroe County: a legal, lab-tested, multi-cannabinoid RSO formula that respects Rick Simpson’s original vision while solving the problems that made traditional RSO unsafe and unpredictable.
This isn’t about selling you hope. This is about giving you the best possible version of the information so you can decide what’s right for you—whether you’re in Waterloo dealing with arthritis from changing seasons, or in Columbia supporting a family member through cancer treatment at a St. Louis hospital.
Who Was Rick Simpson, and Why Does His Story Matter in Monroe County?
Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor. He was a power engineer from Nova Scotia—a blue-collar tradesman not unlike many folks here in Monroe County who work with their hands and trust what they can see and feel. In 1997, he fell from scaffolding at a hospital in Moncton and suffered a head injury that left him with tinnitus, dizziness, and a medical system that had no good answers. The medications made things worse. When he asked his doctor about cannabis, the door was slammed shut—just like many patients in Monroe County who’ve asked their physicians about alternatives and been told there’s nothing beyond the prescription pad.
Simpson’s interest deepened after learning about a 1974 NIH-funded study at the Medical College of Virginia that showed THC could slow or shrink tumors in mice. That study, intended to prove harm, became his North Star—even though it was never replicated in human trials. In 2003, he claimed that applying concentrated cannabis oil to three basal cell carcinoma bumps on his arm made them disappear in four days. No biopsy, no clinical documentation—just his personal testimony. But that testimony sparked a global movement.
The Crusade: From Free Distribution to Global Phenomenon
After his 2003 experience, Simpson committed himself to making and giving away cannabis oil for free from his property in Maccan, Nova Scotia. He never charged a dime. He worked with cancer patients, chronic pain sufferers, diabetics, people with glaucoma, arthritis, depression, insomnia—conditions that touch every community, including ours here in Monroe County. His 2005 documentary, Run From The Cure, spread his story worldwide, becoming the introduction to RSO for millions.
But Simpson’s advocacy brought him into direct conflict with Canadian law. The RCMP raided his property in 2005 and 2009. He was charged with cultivation, possession, and trafficking. Eventually, he left Canada for Europe, continuing his work from Croatia and the Netherlands. In 2012, he published Phoenix Tears: The Rick Simpson Story and maintained phoenixtears.ca as his platform .
Throughout his career, Simpson maintained that RSO could cure cancer and that pharmaceutical companies and government agencies were actively suppressing this knowledge. He framed his work as a fight against institutional corruption. Important context: Simpson’s conspiratorial worldview reflects a perspective shared by many in the early cannabis movement, but his claims about cancer cures have never been supported by controlled human trials.
Traditional RSO: What It Was vs. What Monroe County Needs to Know
Simpson’s 60-gram, 90-day protocol was designed around crude, unstandardized material. Here’s what that actually meant:
- Goal: Consume 60 grams of oil over approximately 90 days
- Titration: Start with a half-grain-of-rice-sized dose (10-15 mg) three times daily, doubling every four days until reaching 1 gram per day by week five
- Administration: Primarily oral (sublingual or swallowed), topical for skin lesions, inhalation only for symptom relief
- Maintenance: After the 60-gram course, 1-2 grams per month indefinitely
Critical Monroe County context: This protocol delivers 600-900 mg of delta-9 THC daily at peak dosing—far exceeding anything studied clinically. For perspective, the FDA-approved synthetic THC drug dronabinol is dosed at 2.5-20 mg per day. At 600-900 mg daily, patients face serious risks: severe intoxication, anxiety, panic, tachycardia, hypotension, and cannabis use disorder. For Monroe County residents who drive long distances to work, operate farm equipment, or have limited access to emergency care, these risks are particularly concerning.
Simpson advised nighttime dosing initially and warned against driving during titration. But traditional RSO had no format choice—it was always psychoactive.
What Traditional RSO Actually Was as a Product
Source material: Single high-THC indica strain, no standardization. Every batch varied by growing conditions and genetics.
Extraction: Used naphtha (petroleum-based lighter fluid) or 99% isopropyl alcohol—neither food-grade. The process involved soaking plant material, filtering, and evaporating solvent in a rice cooker at 60-82°C.
Appearance: Nearly black, thick, tar-like oil with possible solvent-residual odor.
Cannabinoid profile: Effectively 100% decarboxylated delta-9 THC (60-90% estimated), with minor cannabinoids at whatever ratios the source strain happened to contain—uncontrolled, unmeasured, never lab-verified.
Terpene content: Essentially zero. The solvent and heat destroyed them.
Standardization: None. No Certificate of Analysis, no contamination screening.
Residual solvent risk: Naphtha may contain benzene, toluene, and other carcinogens. Incomplete purging is difficult to detect without lab testing.
This is what Monroe County residents might encounter if they try to make RSO at home or buy from unverified sources. The risks are real and uncontrolled.
Simpson’s Claims vs. The Evidence Record
Simpson claimed RSO could cure cancer and treat dozens of conditions. Let’s be straight about what the evidence actually shows:
What Simpson was not: A doctor, scientist, pharmacologist, or researcher. He never conducted or published a clinical trial. His evidence was personal experience and testimonials—no controls, no verification, no peer review.
What preclinical literature shows: In vitro and animal studies demonstrate THC and CBD can induce apoptosis, inhibit proliferation, and reduce angiogenesis in certain cancer cell lines . Animal models show some tumor-growth inhibition. This is scientifically interesting but not proof of human cancer cures.
What preclinical literature does NOT show: These findings have not translated into proven human cancer cures. The gap between lab results and clinical outcomes is vast. No human clinical trial has demonstrated RSO cures cancer .
Institutional positions:
- National Cancer Institute (NCI): Acknowledges cannabinoid anticancer research but doesn’t endorse cannabis as cancer treatment
- FDA: Has not approved any cannabis plant product for cancer treatment [1]
- Health Canada: Never approved RSO for cancer
- NCCIH: Strongest evidence is for epilepsy, chemo nausea, and HIV/AIDS appetite—not cancer cure [1]
What Simpson got right: He drew attention to cannabinoids as serious biomedical research when the world ignored them. He helped create conditions for the legal cannabis industry. The term “RSO” remains the most recognized name for full-spectrum cannabis extract.
What he overstated: Cancer cure claims exceed the evidence. Encouraging patients to use RSO instead of proven cancer therapies carries genuine harm potential. Delayed treatment for treatable cancers is a documented concern.
The OilWell Story: From McAllen to Monroe County
OilWell Cannabis was founded by Colin Valencia in Houston, Texas. Colin grew up in McAllen—right across the river from Reynosa, Mexico. The McAllen-Reynosa Borderplex is one of America’s most economically challenged and dangerous border regions. By sixteen, Colin had left home after seeing violence that most people in Monroe County can’t imagine. Friends killed. Friends imprisoned. He chose cannabis over darker paths, learning the plant intimately while operating in the shadows before transitioning to legitimate business.
Later, Colin became a formally trained software engineer and did custom development for Baylor College of Medicine—one of the nation’s most prestigious medical institutions. That combination of deep plant knowledge plus medical-grade technical precision defines everything we do.
Bentley: The Dog Who Started Everything
Our company’s origin story begins with a dog named Bentley. Bentley was family. When he fell seriously ill—paralyzed in his back legs, facing euthanasia—veterinarians said pain medications would destroy his organs. Colin refused to accept that. A rescue worker named Jessica asked the question that changed everything: “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and you’ve never heard of CBD?”
Colin created CBD golden paste for Bentley. The results weren’t placebo—dogs don’t respond to placebo. Bentley got up, walked over, and brought Colin his ball to play. From paralyzed and facing euthanasia to fetching his ball. That was the moment. Bentley lived another ten years, dying 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 using CBD, CBG, THCa, and beta-caryophyllene working simultaneously
Single cannabinoids weren’t enough. Bentley’s evolving conditions required multi-cannabinoid synergy with pharmaceutical precision. His life depended on formula accuracy, not guesswork. That decade of real-world formulation testing on a patient Colin loved more than anything became the foundation of our RSO formula.
From Personal Crisis to Community Mission
Colin also knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He struggled with PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction—Xanax. He quit cold turkey using 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 do not.
Over time, the therapeutic benefits Colin discovered through Bentley became the core of our work. We’ve developed formulas that doctors use for Crohn’s disease, IBS, ulcerative colitis, PTSD, benzo addiction, and insomnia. Our focus is always on making cannabis accessible for everyone—vegans, diabetics, those with specific health needs.
ABC13 Houston featured Colin in seven comprehensive news segments from 2019 to 2023, covering Texas marijuana law, Delta-8 legal analysis, COVID-19 community health leadership, criminal justice reform, and cannabis business pioneering. Colin was repeatedly selected as the primary industry expert for cannabis policy and product coverage in America’s fourth-largest city. That media record—five different reporters, four years of consistent coverage—can’t be purchased. It can only be earned.
Our foundational quote from September 2019 still guides everything: “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.”
Today, OilWell Cannabis operates from Montrose, Houston (810 Richmond Avenue, Houston, TX 77006). We’ve been operating since 2019, generate approximately $1 million in annual revenue, maintain a near-5.0 Google rating, and are Texas DSHS licensed. All artwork, formulations, and packaging are created in-house in Houston using only our own recipes and ideas. But our reach extends far beyond Texas—to Monroe County, to southern Illinois, to anyone seeking real solutions.
The OilWell RSO Philosophy: Four Principles That Matter in Monroe County
Our RSO is NOT traditional RSO. It’s informed by Rick Simpson’s tradition but deliberately different in ways that solve real problems for people in Monroe County:
1. Accessibility Over Gatekeeping
No medical card required. Anyone age 21+ can purchase. We ship nationwide and internationally. For Monroe County residents who don’t have easy access to Illinois dispensaries—which are concentrated in Collinsville or require trips to St. Louis—this is critical. You don’t need to drive 45 minutes to wait in line. You can order from your home in Waterloo or Columbia and have it delivered discreetly.
Farm Bill Compliant: Our sublingual oil contains only 90 mg of delta-9 THC in the entire 30 mL bottle (3 mg/mL)—well under the 0.3% federal threshold. All cannabinoids are hemp-derived. This makes it legal under federal law and in Illinois.
THCa Legal Framework: THCa is the acidic, non-psychoactive precursor to THC. At point of sale, it’s Farm Bill compliant. You control whether it stays raw or converts to THC through heating. This legal distinction creates access that Rick Simpson never had.
2. Patient-Controlled Potency
Traditional RSO was always psychoactive—fully decarboxylated by heat. Our formula contains 1,500 mg of THCa as a distinct ingredient, giving you three options:
Option 1: Raw, No Heat (Non-Psychoactive)
All 1,500 mg stays as THCa—completely non-psychoactive. Evidence suggests potential anti-inflammatory activity via COX-2 inhibition and neuroprotective potential via PPARγ agonism [12]. Perfect for daytime use in Monroe County—whether you’re operating farm equipment, commuting to St. Louis, or working at the grain elevator in Hecker. Zero impairment.
Option 2: Fully Activated (Home Decarboxylation)
Heat the oil at 260°F for 45-60 minutes. This converts 1,500 mg THCa → ~1,315 mg delta-9 THC. Combined with the existing 90 mg delta-9 THC, you get ~1,405 mg total delta-9 THC + 6,000 mg delta-8 THC. That’s psychoactive potency comparable to traditional illegal RSO—100% legally, because activation happens after purchase at your discretion.
Option 3: Vape (Instant Activation)
Our 1-gram vape cartridge vaporizes at 400-450°F, instantly converting THCa to THC with each puff. Every inhale delivers freshly decarboxylated cannabinoids. This is the fastest RSO delivery method available—ideal for breakthrough pain or acute anxiety.
The Conversion Math: 1 mg THCa = 0.877 mg delta-9 THC after decarboxylation (accounting for CO₂ loss). You control the chemistry.
3. Open-Source Formulas
We publish our complete formulas publicly—every cannabinoid, every milligram, every percentage. If you can’t afford our products ($129.99 for sublingual oil, $49.99 for vape cartridge), you can source the ingredients and make your own version.
This echoes Rick Simpson’s free-distribution ethos. He gave his oil away and taught people to make it. We sell a professionally manufactured, lab-tested product AND publish the recipe.
To demonstrate this commitment, we published the CBD golden paste recipe that saved Bentley’s life—free for any Monroe County pet owner facing a similar crisis:
CBD Golden Paste Recipe:
- ½ cup organic turmeric powder
- 1 cup water
- ⅓ cup organic coconut oil
- 1-2 tsp freshly ground black pepper (for absorption)
- CBD oil (pet-appropriate dosage)
Mix turmeric and water over low heat until thick paste forms (7-10 minutes). Add coconut oil and pepper. Cool, store refrigerated up to 2 weeks. Mix with pet’s food. This saved Bentley from paralysis and euthanasia. Dogs don’t respond to placebo.
4. Evidence-Informed, Not Evidence-Overstating
The GENERAL KNOWLEDGE section of this document represents our commitment to honest education about what science actually says. Simpson operated without peer-reviewed literature. We have that access and use it to distinguish between what’s well-supported, what’s emerging, and what’s overstated.
For Monroe County readers making health decisions—whether you’re a cancer patient at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis or managing chronic pain after years of agricultural work—this honesty matters more than hype.
Farm Bill Compliance and Illinois Legal Context
The 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp and hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC. Our sublingual oil contains only 90 mg delta-9 THC total in 30 mL—well under that limit. All cannabinoids are hemp-derived.
Illinois context: While Illinois legalized recreational cannabis in 2020, access remains limited in rural counties like Monroe. The nearest dispensaries are in Collinsville (35+ miles from Waterloo) or across the river in St. Louis. For Monroe County residents who can’t make that drive—or who don’t want to navigate dispensary lines and parking—our direct-ship model provides essential access.
THCa conversion: When you heat our oil, THCa converts to delta-9 THC. This means the same legal product can function as non-psychoactive anti-inflammatory OR full-potency psychoactive medicine—your choice.
Legal notice: The customer is responsible for understanding local laws. We ship with full documentation, Certificates of Analysis (COAs), and receipts. International customers accept all customs and legal responsibility.
Solvent-Free Production: Safety Matters in Monroe County
Traditional RSO used naphtha or isopropyl alcohol—neither food-grade. Naphtha may contain benzene and other carcinogens. Incomplete purging leaves harmful residues.
Our approach: No solvents. We blend individual cannabinoid distillates and isolates in a controlled environment. The carrier is organic MCT oil—food-grade, neutral taste, no tar-like consistency.
Third-party lab testing covers:
- Cannabinoid potency (verified to ±2% accuracy)
- Terpene profile
- Pesticides (400+ compound screening)
- Heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury)
- Residual solvents (FDA Class 3 limits)
- Microbial contaminants (E. coli, Salmonella, Aspergillus)
COAs available on request through our website. For Monroe County residents who value transparency—who want to know exactly what’s in the medicine they’re putting in their bodies—this is non-negotiable.
The Broader OilWell Portfolio: Beyond RSO
While RSO is our focus, our other products demonstrate our formulation range:

Condition-Specific Usage for Monroe County
Important disclaimer: These contexts are informed by research cited in our GENERAL KNOWLEDGE section. They are not medical prescriptions, not FDA-approved, and not substitutes for professional medical care. Consult your healthcare provider before use—especially if you’re receiving treatment at Barnes-Jewish or another St. Louis facility where drug interactions matter.
Chemotherapy-Related Nausea & Appetite (Common concern for Monroe County residents traveling to St. Louis for treatment)
Protocol:
- Pre-chemo: 0.5-1.0 mL sublingual ~1 hour before treatment
- Acute breakthrough nausea: 2-3 vape puffs for immediate relief (1-2 min onset)
- Post-chemo: 0.5 mL sublingual every 6 hours as needed
- Sleep support: 1.0-2.0 mL sublingual before bed (delivers 25-50 mg CBN)
Evidence: Delta-8 THC antiemetic properties [9], delta-9 THC for nausea/vomiting [1][13], CBD for anxiety buffering [3]. If you’re making the drive from Waterloo to Siteman Cancer Center in St. Louis, this protocol can help manage treatment side effects.
Chronic Pain (Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Neuropathy)
Protocol:
- Daytime: 0.3-0.5 mL raw sublingual—anti-inflammatory without impairment for operating tractors or working at the grain elevator
- Nighttime: 0.5-1.0 mL decarboxylated sublingual—combines pain relief with CBN sleep support
- Breakthrough pain: Vape as needed for rapid onset
Evidence: CBD for pain [4], delta-9 THC for pain [13], beta-caryophyllene CB2 agonism [24], THCa COX-2 inhibition [12]. For Monroe County’s aging farming population dealing with decades of physical labor, this multi-pathway approach matters.
Sleep Support
Protocol: 1.0-2.0 mL sublingual before bed
- At 2.0 mL: 50 mg CBN (dosage level investigated in 2024 sleep literature)
- At 1.0 mL: 25 mg CBN (above threshold associated with reduced sleep disturbance)
Evidence: CBN sleep literature [16][17]. For Monroe County residents whose sleep is disrupted by chronic pain, anxiety, or the stress of rural economic uncertainty, this offers a non-benzodiazepine alternative.
Anxiety & Stress
Protocol:
- Daytime functional relief: 0.3 mL raw sublingual—CBD and CBG address anxiety pathways without psychoactive impairment
- Nighttime: 1.0 mL sublingual—full profile including CBN for sleep architecture
Evidence: CBD anxiety evidence [3], CBG pharmacology [7][8], limonene entourage effect [20]. For Monroe County residents dealing with the pressures of agricultural markets, healthcare access challenges, or PTSD from military service, this provides daytime functionality.
General Titration Principle: Start Low, Go Slow
Begin with 0.25-0.5 mL sublingual. Assess effects over 2-3 hours before increasing. Individual responses vary by body weight, metabolism, tolerance, concurrent medications, and other factors. This is especially important for Monroe County’s older population and those on multiple prescriptions.

How Our Formulas Connect to the Evidence
Every cannabinoid in our formula—CBD, CBG, delta-8 THC, THCa, delta-9 THC, CBN, CBC—has its own evidence profile in our GENERAL KNOWLEDGE section. Every terpene—limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene, linalool, humulene, terpinolene—is covered with peer-reviewed citations.
We don’t exempt ourselves from the same evidence standards we apply to the broader field. If the evidence is strong (CBD for seizures), we say it confidently. If it’s emerging (CBG for neurologic disorders), we say so honestly. If it’s weak (CBN for sleep), we acknowledge the gap.
This document is our research foundation. For Monroe County residents who want to verify claims, check the GENERAL KNOWLEDGE section where every [1]-[29] citation is listed with full references. No other RSO company provides this level of transparency.
The Terpene Profile: Sensory and Pharmacologic
Both our sublingual oil and vape cartridge contain the same seven-terpene profile at 5%:
- Limonene (citrus-bright): Mood enhancement, evidence for anxiety mitigation [20]-[22]
- Myrcene: Relaxation properties, though human evidence is limited [20][23]
- Caryophyllene (β-caryophyllene): Direct CB2 agonist—arguably the most pharmacologically significant terpene [24]
- Pinene (forest-fresh): Potential neuroprotective properties [20][25]
- Linalool (floral, lavender): Calming effects, though evidence is preclinical [20][22][25][26]
- Humulene (earthy, woody): Anti-inflammatory potential [20][27]
- Terpinolene (piney, fruity): Aroma complexity, limited clinical evidence [20][28]
For Monroe County residents familiar with essential oils, aromatherapy, or the scents of local pine forests and lavender farms, these terpenes create a sensory experience that connects to familiar aromas while delivering potential bioactive benefits.
Practical Takeaways for Monroe County
What this means for you:
- CBD and delta-9 THC have the strongest evidence in our formula
- Delta-8 THC is psychoactive with less robust safety data—use with awareness
- THCa changes with processing—your heating choice determines its effects
- CBG, CBN, CBC are promising but clinically immature—use as complementary actives
- Terpenes contribute aroma and potential effects, but claims should be conservative
- Product quality matters as much as molecule identity—our lab testing ensures you get what’s on the label
