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

If you’re reading this from Red Oak, Villisca, Elliott, or anywhere else across Montgomery County, you’re probably wondering whether Rick Simpson Oil is something that could actually help you or someone you love. Maybe you’ve heard whispers at the grain elevator about cannabis oil helping with cancer. Maybe your neighbor in Stanton mentioned it for their arthritis. Or perhaps you’re one of the many Iowans dealing with chronic pain, PTSD, or the kind of insomnia that keeps you staring at your ceiling fan at 2 a.m. in a farmhouse miles from the nearest town.

We get it. Here in Montgomery County, we’re practical people. We don’t chase trends. We want honest answers, real science, and products that actually work. That’s exactly why we created this guide.

Who Was Rick Simpson? (And Why His Story Matters to Iowa)

Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor. He was a power engineer from Nova Scotia — a working-class guy, much like many folks here in Southwest Iowa. In 1997, he suffered a serious head injury that left him with debilitating symptoms. When prescription medications failed him and his doctor refused to discuss cannabis, he took matters into his own hands.

His pivotal moment came in 2003 when he claims cannabis oil removed what he described as basal cell carcinoma lesions. No doctor verified it. No biopsy confirmed it. But his personal experience became the origin story of “Rick Simpson Oil,” and his 2005 documentary Run From The Cure spread the concept globally.

Here in Montgomery County, we understand frustration with the medical system. When the clinic in Red Oak refers you to Des Moines or Omaha for a specialist appointment three months out, when you’re looking at a three-hour drive just to see an oncologist — desperation isn’t just understandable, it’s rational. Simpson’s story resonates because he was desperate too.

Important context: Simpson’s account is personal testimony, not medical evidence. But it’s historically significant as the catalyst for a global movement. We respect what he started while building something better.

Traditional RSO vs. What We Make for Montgomery County

Traditional RSO was crude. Made with naphtha or isopropyl alcohol in rice cookers, each batch varied wildly. It was tar-black, harsh-tasting, and contained 60-90% THC with no lab testing. The 60-gram/90-day protocol Simpson recommended delivered 600-900mg of delta-9 THC daily — doses never studied in clinical trials, with real risks of severe impairment, anxiety, and cannabis use disorder.

We knew Montgomery County deserved better. Our farmers understand precision agriculture. Our communities expect quality control. We applied that same Iowa-standard rigor to RSO.

Our Story: From a Paralyzed Dog to Montgomery County Kitchen Tables

OilWell Cannabis began with Bentley, a dog Colin refused to euthanize when veterinarians said there was no hope. Paralyzed in his hind legs, facing organ failure from pain medications, Bentley got up and walked after Colin created a CBD golden paste. That wasn’t placebo — dogs don’t respond to placebo. That was cannabinoid medicine doing what pharmaceuticals couldn’t.

Bentley lived another ten years. During that decade, Colin developed formulas for every age-related condition: neurodegeneration (CBG), dementia (CBC), glaucoma (THC), crippling arthritis (multi-pathway anti-inflammatory blends). Single cannabinoids weren’t enough. Bentley’s life depended on precision formulation.

Colin also knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He broke free from Xanax addiction cold turkey using the same cannabinoid knowledge. The Peace Gummies formula that helps so many was born from midnight experiments during benzo withdrawal. He still uses the vape form for his own PTSD and insomnia.

Why this matters for Montgomery County: We know what it’s like to watch loved ones suffer. We know the helplessness when the pharmacy runs out of options. We’ve lived it. That’s why we don’t overpromise. We just give you the best possible version so you can decide if it’s right for you.

The Science Behind Every Drop: What Each Cannabinoid Does

CBD (4,500mg per bottle)

The most evidence-backed non-intoxicating cannabinoid. Strongest support for rare seizure disorders [2]. Promising but still-developing evidence for anxiety [3] and pain [4]. Modest sleep benefits [5]. Important safety note: can affect liver enzymes and medication interactions — talk to your doctor, especially if you’re on multiple prescriptions [6].

CBG (3,000mg)

The “mother cannabinoid” — all others start here. Preclinical research shows promise for neurologic disorders and inflammation, but human trials are just beginning. We’re including it because the science is compelling, but we won’t pretend it’s proven. That’s the honest Iowa way [7][8].

Delta-8 THC (6,000mg)

A psychoactive THC analogue. Less potent than delta-9 but still very real. Works for nausea [9], but carries similar risks to delta-9 for impairment and cannabis use disorder [10]. Not just “diet weed” — this is serious medicine requiring respect [9]-[11].

THCa (1,500mg)

This is where it gets revolutionary. THCa is non-psychoactive in its raw form. It has anti-inflammatory potential via COX-2 inhibition and neuroprotective properties [12]. But when you heat it (260°F for 45-60 minutes), it converts to delta-9 THC. You control whether you get high. Use it raw for daytime anti-inflammatory relief without impairment. Decarb it for full psychoactive potency when you need it. That’s freedom — Montana County style.

Delta-9 THC (90mg)

Just 3mg per mL — far below the 0.3% Farm Bill limit. But combined with converted THCa, you can achieve traditional RSO potency legally. The evidence supports use for severe pain and chemotherapy nausea [13], but high doses carry risks: anxiety, tachycardia, cannabis use disorder [15]. We keep it low so you can customize safely.

CBN (750mg)

Marketed everywhere as “the sleep cannabinoid,” but the evidence is surprisingly weak [16][17]. We include it at the dosage level actually studied (25-50mg per serving), but we’re honest: the science is still emerging. If it helps your sleep, great. If not, you know why.

CBC (750mg)

The most under-studied cannabinoid in our formula, but preclinical research shows unique neurogenesis and anti-inflammatory properties [18][19]. We’re betting on the science, not the hype.

Terpenes: The Aromatherapy of Cannabis

Our 5% live terpene blend includes limonene (citrus-bright), myrcene, caryophyllene (pepper/spice), pinene (forest-fresh), linalool (lavender), humulene (earthy), and terpinolene. These aren’t just for smell — caryophyllene directly activates CB2 receptors [24], and the entourage effect is plausible, though human proof is still developing [20][29].

Farm Bill Compliance: Legal for Montgomery County

We know the first question every Iowa farmer asks: “Is this legal?” Yes. Completely.

The 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC. Our sublingual oil contains only 90mg total delta-9 THC in a 30mL bottle — that’s 0.3mg per mL, well under the legal threshold.

Important for Iowa residents: Iowa state law aligns with federal Farm Bill provisions. You can legally purchase, possess, and use our products anywhere in Montgomery County, whether you’re in Red Oak, Villisca, or out on a farm on a gravel road. No medical card needed. Just be 21+.

The THCa framework is revolutionary: you buy a legal, non-psychoactive product. You choose whether to activate it at home. That activation happens in your kitchen, not in our lab. This is the most significant legal cannabis access innovation in history — backed by chemistry, not loopholes.

How Montgomery County Residents Use Our RSO

For Chemotherapy Support

Take 0.5-1.0mL sublingually 1 hour before treatment. For breakthrough nausea, 2-3 vape puffs work in 1-2 minutes. The delta-8 THC specifically targets nausea receptors [9], while CBD reduces anxiety [3].

For Chronic Pain (Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Neuropathy)

Daytime: 0.3-0.5mL raw (non-decarbed) for anti-inflammatory relief without impairment. The THCa and caryophyllene work through COX-2 and CB2 pathways [12][24]. Nighttime: 0.5-1.0mL decarbed for full effect plus CBN for sleep.

For Sleep Disorders

1-2mL before bed delivers 25-50mg CBN — the exact dosage studied in 2024 research [17]. Combined with myrcene and linalool terpenes, this creates a powerful sleep formula without pharmaceutical side effects.

For Anxiety and PTSD

Start with 0.3mL raw sublingual in the morning. The CBD and CBG combination addresses anxiety pathways [3][8] while keeping you clear-headed. For severe episodes, the vape provides 1-2 minute relief.

Why Montgomery County Trusts OilWell: Our ABC13 Track Record

Between 2019 and 2023, Houston’s ABC13 featured us seven times. Five different reporters sought us out because we tell the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable.

• September 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…” That quote anchors everything we do.
• May 2021: When asked why someone would want Delta-8, Colin answered honestly: “Maybe you want to get high.” The network aired it uncensored. That’s transparency.
• August 2021: We gave away $35,000 in product to encourage COVID vaccination in Houston — no political agenda, just community health.
• October 2021: When Texas banned Delta-8 overnight, we pulled all products immediately and warned other operators who were unknowingly shipping Schedule I narcotics. Ethics over profit.
• October 2022: Colin revealed his own marijuana conviction history. “I would love to see people not get hurt for this anymore.” This isn’t corporate marketing — it’s personal.

No other cannabis company in America’s fourth-largest city has this media record. We’ve earned it by being honest, educational, and community-first. Montgomery County deserves that same standard.
