Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Mound City: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis

If you are searching for Rick Simpson Oil in Mound City, Houston County, Texas, you are likely looking for answers that the conventional medical system has failed to provide. Whether you are dealing with chronic pain that keeps you from enjoying the pine woods around East Texas, sleep issues that disrupt your work on the ranch, or the side effects of chemotherapy treatment at a regional medical center, you deserve honest, evidence-based information about what RSO actually is, what it can and cannot do, and how to access it legally from right here in Mound City.

We are OilWell Cannabis, and we have spent years developing a multi-cannabinoid RSO formula that honors the tradition Rick Simpson started while solving the safety and consistency problems that limited his original vision. We operate from Houston’s Montrose neighborhood, but we serve Mound City and all of Houston County with the same commitment to transparency that has made us the most cited cannabis authority in America’s fourth-largest city.

Understanding Rick Simpson Oil: The History That Reached Mound City

Rick Simpson was not a doctor. He was a power engineer from Nova Scotia who suffered a severe head injury in 1997 while working at a hospital in Moncton. When conventional medications failed to resolve his post-concussion symptoms—including persistent tinnitus and dizziness—he turned to cannabis. His doctor refused to consider it as a treatment option, so Simpson began experimenting on his own.

In 2003, Simpson claimed that concentrated cannabis oil eliminated three bumps on his arm that had been diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma. No independent medical verification was ever published, no biopsy confirmed the diagnosis, and no clinical follow-up documented the outcome. But that personal experience became the catalyst for a global movement. Simpson began producing oil in large quantities and giving it away for free to cancer patients and others in his community, claiming it could address conditions ranging from chronic pain and diabetes to glaucoma and depression.

His story spread through the 2005 documentary Run From The Cure, which became foundational viewing in cannabis communities worldwide—including right here in East Texas. Simpson’s advocacy brought him into conflict with Canadian law; the RCMP raided his property in 2005 and 2009, eventually forcing him to relocate to Europe. Throughout his public career, Simpson maintained that pharmaceutical companies and government agencies were actively suppressing cannabis cures, a conspiratorial framing that reflected the institutional distrust common in the early cannabis movement but which exceeded what the evidence could support.

What Traditional RSO Actually Was

When people in Mound City hear “RSO,” they often picture a specific product: a thick, black, tar-like oil with a strong cannabis odor. That was traditional RSO. Simpson made it by soaking high-THC indica cannabis in naphtha (petroleum-based lighter fluid) or 99% isopropyl alcohol, agitating the mixture, filtering it through cheesecloth, and evaporating the solvent in a rice cooker. The heat decarboxylated all THCa into delta-9 THC, creating a fully psychoactive, THC-dominant product with no standardized potency.

Traditional RSO had no terpene content—the volatile aromatic compounds were destroyed by the solvent and heat. It had no lab testing—every batch varied depending on the starting plant material. It carried residual solvent risks—naphtha contains benzene and toluene, and incomplete purging left potentially harmful residues. And it followed a specific 60-gram/90-day protocol that delivered 600 to 900 milligrams of delta-9 THC daily—doses far exceeding anything studied in controlled clinical settings and carrying real risks of severe intoxication, impairment, and cannabis use disorder.

The National Cancer Institute acknowledges that cannabinoids have been studied for potential anticancer effects in laboratory and animal models, but it does not endorse cannabis or cannabis oil as a cancer treatment. The FDA has not approved any cannabis plant product for cancer. No human clinical trial has demonstrated that RSO cures cancer. Yet Simpson’s contribution remains historically significant: he drew attention to cannabinoid medicine when the world was ignoring it, and he created the conditions for the legal industry that now serves Mound City.

The OilWell Difference: From Houston to Houston County

We did not start in a boardroom. OilWell Cannabis was founded by Colin Valencia, who grew up in McAllen, Texas—right across the river from Reynosa, in one of the most economically challenged border regions in the country. By sixteen, Colin had left home, having experienced violence and loss that taught him early lessons about suffering and resilience. He chose cannabis over darker paths, learning the plant intimately in the traditional, pre-legalization world.

Later, Colin became a formally trained software engineer and did custom development work for Baylor College of Medicine in the Texas Medical Center. That combination—deep plant knowledge plus medical-grade technical precision—defines everything we do.

But our company truly began with a dog named Bentley. When Bentley became paralyzed and veterinarians recommended euthanasia, Colin refused to accept that outcome. A rescue worker named Jessica asked a question that changed everything: “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and you’ve never heard of CBD?” Colin created a CBD golden paste using turmeric, coconut oil, black pepper, and CBD oil. Bentley got up. He walked over and brought Colin his ball to play. Dogs do not respond to placebo. That 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 (leading to CBG research), dementia (CBC and neurogenesis), glaucoma (THC’s CB1 agonism), and crippling arthritis (multi-pathway anti-inflammation). Single cannabinoids were not enough. Bentley’s evolving conditions required multi-cannabinoid synergy, and pharmaceutical precision mattered—Bentley’s life depended on formula accuracy.

Colin also knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He struggled with PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction, eventually quitting Xanax cold turkey using the cannabinoid knowledge he developed keeping Bentley alive. The Peace Gummies formula that became one of our products was created during midnight experiments while fighting through benzo withdrawal. Colin personally uses our vape formulation to manage insomnia and severe PTSD. This is not theoretical knowledge—we have lived what RSO patients live.

Our Multi-Cannabinoid RSO Formula: Built for Real People in Mound City

Our RSO is not traditional Rick Simpson Oil. It is a deliberate evolution that solves the problems of the original while maintaining its core philosophy. We offer two formats, both available for delivery to Mound City and throughout Houston County.

RSO Sublingual Oil — $129.99

Our 30 mL sublingual oil contains 16,590 milligrams of total cannabinoids—that is 553 milligrams per milliliter. The formula includes:

• CBD: 4,500mg (anti-anxiety, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective)
• CBG: 3,000mg (neuroprotection, potential anti-inflammatory)
• Delta-8 THC: 6,000mg (antiemetic, analgesic, neuroprotective)
• THCa: 1,500mg (non-psychoactive anti-inflammatory via COX-2 inhibition)
• Delta-9 THC: 90mg (well under the 0.3% Farm Bill limit)
• CBN: 750mg (sleep support)
• CBC: 750mg (neurogenesis, potential antidepressant effects)

We include live terpenes at 5%: limonene (citrus-bright, mood elevation), myrcene (relaxation), beta-caryophyllene (CB2 agonist for inflammation), pinene (clarity), linalool (calm), humulene (earthy, anti-inflammatory), and terpinolene (piney, fruity complexity).

The organic MCT oil base facilitates absorption through sublingual tissue. Onset is 15 to 45 minutes, peak effects occur at 1 to 2 hours, and duration lasts 4 to 6 hours. Bioavailability is 13 to 19 percent, as sublingual administration partially bypasses first-pass liver metabolism. The graduated dropper allows precise dosing in 0.1 mL increments (55.3mg of active cannabinoids per increment).

RSO Vape Cartridge — $49.99

Our 1-gram cartridge contains 900+ milligrams of total cannabinoids in the same six-cannabinoid ratio (no separate delta-9 THC listing because THCa auto-decarboxylates at vaping temperatures). The 510-thread universal battery compatibility means it works with standard vape batteries available throughout Texas.

Onset is 1 to 2 minutes—the fastest cannabinoid delivery method available. Peak effects hit at 10 to 15 minutes, with duration lasting 2 to 4 hours. Bioavailability ranges from 10 to 35 percent depending on inhalation technique. This format is ideal for breakthrough pain, acute nausea, or panic attacks when you need immediate relief.

The Legal Framework: Why This Works in Mound City

The 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp and hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3 percent delta-9 THC by dry weight at the federal level. Our sublingual oil contains only 90 milligrams of delta-9 THC in the entire 30 mL bottle—3 milligrams per milliliter—well under the legal threshold. All cannabinoids are hemp-derived.

THCa is the acidic, non-psychoactive precursor to delta-9 THC. It is not itself delta-9 THC, making it Farm Bill compliant at the point of sale. However, when heated to 260°F (125°C) for 45 to 60 minutes, THCa converts to delta-9 THC through decarboxylation. The conversion ratio is approximately 1mg THCa = 0.877mg delta-9 THC.

This creates three distinct usage options:

Raw (Non-Psychoactive): Use the oil without heating. All 1,500mg of THCa remains as THCa, providing potential anti-inflammatory benefits via COX-2 inhibition and neuroprotection via PPARγ agonism without any psychoactive effects. This option is compatible with work, driving, and daytime use.

Fully Activated: Heat the oil at 260°F for 45 to 60 minutes in an oven-safe glass container. This converts the 1,500mg of THCa into approximately 1,315mg of delta-9 THC. Combined with the existing 90mg, you get approximately 1,405mg of total delta-9 THC. Combined with the 6,000mg of delta-8 THC, this achieves psychoactive potency comparable to traditional high-THC RSO—100 percent legally, because the conversion happens at your discretion after purchase.

Vape (Auto-Decarboxylation): The vape cartridge operates at 400 to 450°F, instantly converting THCa to delta-9 THC with each inhalation.

Important Legal Notice: THCa converts to delta-9 THC when heated. You are responsible for understanding and complying with local laws. We ship with full documentation, Certificates of Analysis (COAs), and receipts. International customers accept all customs and legal responsibility.

Evidence-Based Education: What the Science Actually Says

We believe you deserve honesty, not hype. Here is what the peer-reviewed literature actually says about the compounds in our formula.

CBD has the strongest human evidence in our formula, particularly for seizure disorders (Epidiolex is FDA-approved for specific rare epilepsies). A 2024 systematic review and meta-analysis covering 316 participants found statistically significant anxiolytic effects, though more trials are needed. Pain research remains promising but heterogeneous. A 2023 systematic review found real signals for liver enzyme elevation in some CBD contexts, especially with concentrated oral products and polypharmacy.

CBG is pharmacologically interesting but clinically immature. It interacts with cannabinoid receptors, alpha-2 adrenoceptors, and 5-HT1A signaling, but human evidence remains sparse. It is commercially available while the evidence base remains thin.

Delta-8 THC is pharmacologically similar to delta-9 THC but less potent. It is a partial CB1 agonist with cannabimimetic activity. A 2023 scoping review found much of the evidence base still dominated by animal studies and public-health concerns rather than strong modern human trials. It should be treated as a psychoactive THC analogue with incomplete safety characterization.

THCa does not produce psychoactive effects in its acidic form, but heating converts it to THC. In vitro and rodent studies suggest anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and neuroprotective possibilities, but these are not established human outcomes.

Delta-9 THC has legitimate therapeutic relevance for chemotherapy-related nausea, HIV/AIDS appetite loss, and some pain conditions, but it carries the clearest intoxication, psychiatric, and dose-related safety liabilities. A 2025 systematic review found consistent unfavorable associations between high-concentration THC products and psychosis, schizophrenia, and cannabis use disorder.

CBN is widely marketed for sleep, but the evidence is weak. A 2021 narrative review screened 99 human-study abstracts and found no clinical trials using validated sleep questionnaires or polysomnography that could substantiate strong sleep-promoting claims.

CBC is emerging and intriguing but overwhelmingly preclinical. A 2024 review highlighted antinociceptive, antibacterial, and anti-seizure areas as interesting research targets, but over-the-counter products are already being sold despite little evidence establishing clinical efficacy or safety.

Terpenes are biologically plausible but clinically underdeveloped. Beta-caryophyllene is a selective CB2 receptor agonist, making it mechanistically interesting. Limonene, myrcene, pinene, linalool, humulene, and terpinolene have promising preclinical literature, but robust proof of clinically meaningful entourage effects in humans remains limited.

If you cannot afford our products, you can see exactly what the formula contains, source the individual cannabinoid distillates and isolates, and make your own version.

CBD Golden Paste Recipe for Pets (the formula that saved Bentley):

• 1/2 cup organic turmeric powder
• 1 cup water
• 1/3 cup coconut oil (unrefined, organic)
• 1 to 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper (important for absorption)
• CBD oil (dosage depends on pet size; consult a veterinarian)

Mix turmeric and water in a saucepan over low heat, stirring continuously for 7 to 10 minutes until thick. Add coconut oil and pepper. Cool and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Mix with pet food once or twice daily.

Our Media Recognition: Why ABC13 Trusts Us

Between September 2019 and April 2023, ABC13 Houston (KTRK) featured Colin Valencia and OilWell Cannabis in seven distinct news segments. When ABC13 needed to explain Delta-8 legality, they called Colin. When President Biden announced marijuana pardons and they needed someone with personal conviction history to provide context, they called Colin. When they wanted to cover the COVID-19 vaccination effort, they featured our $35,000 product giveaway to encourage vaccination.

Colin’s foundational quote from September 2019 captures our philosophy: “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.”

We have been featured by Tom Abrahams, Steve Campion, Shelley Childers, and Nick Natario covering business, law, medicine, and community health. No other Houston cannabis operator appears with that frequency or breadth.
