Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in North Carolina: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis

Understanding RSO in the Tar Heel State

If you’re in North Carolina searching for Rick Simpson Oil, you’re not alone. From the mountains of Asheville to the Research Triangle, from military communities around Ft. Liberty to cancer treatment corridors in Durham and Winston-Salem, North Carolinians are discovering what many already know: when conventional medicine reaches its limits, concentrated cannabis oil offers a path forward that deserves honest consideration.

We at OilWell Cannabis have spent years perfecting what Rick Simpson started, and we’re bringing that evolution directly to North Carolina. This isn’t the crude, black-tar oil Simpson made in a rice cooker with naphtha in Nova Scotia two decades ago. This is 2025 formulation science—multi-cannabinoid, terpene-rich, lab-tested, and legal under federal law. Most importantly, it’s built on the same desperate hope that drove Simpson to help his fellow patients when the medical system failed them.

Who Was Rick Simpson? Understanding the Origins

Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor. He wasn’t a scientist. He was a power engineer from Nova Scotia—a blue-collar tradesman who, in 1997, fell from scaffolding at a hospital in Moncton and suffered a head injury that changed his life. The tinnitus, dizziness, and post-concussion symptoms that followed weren’t helped by the pharmaceuticals his doctors prescribed. When he discovered cannabis provided relief and asked his physician to support using it, he was refused .

That dismissal—that institutional refusal to consider what was working—set Simpson on a path that would eventually reach every corner of the world, including right here in North Carolina.

The moment that defined his legacy came in 2003, when three bumps on his arm were diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma. Rather than pursue conventional treatment, Simpson applied concentrated cannabis oil directly to the lesions. According to his account, they disappeared within four days. No biopsy confirmation was ever published. No independent medical verification exists. But that personal experience became the origin story of Rick Simpson Oil .

Important context: We present Simpson’s story as personal testimony, not medical evidence. What matters for North Carolina readers is understanding that this movement—this global search for alternatives—was born from the same desperation many of you feel right now. Whether you’re a cancer patient at Duke Cancer Center told there are no more options, a veteran at Camp Lejeune struggling with PTSD and pharmaceutical dependence, or a chronic pain sufferer in Charlotte cycling through ineffective prescriptions, Simpson’s story resonates because it reflects a universal truth: when medicine fails, people seek alternatives.

The 60-Gram Protocol: What Simpson Recommended

Simpson’s treatment protocol was specific and aggressive: consume 60 grams of concentrated oil over approximately 90 days. He designed it for cancer treatment but recommended it for dozens of conditions including chronic pain, diabetes, infections, glaucoma, arthritis, depression, and insomnia .

How the Protocol Worked

Week 1: Start with a dose the size of half a grain of rice—roughly 10-15mg of oil—three times daily. Total daily intake: 30-45mg.

Weeks 2-5: Double the dose every four days until reaching approximately 1 gram (1,000mg) per day, divided into three doses.

Weeks 5-12: Maintain 1 gram per day until all 60 grams are consumed.

Administration: Primarily oral (sublingual or swallowed), with topical application for skin lesions. Simpson acknowledged inhalation for immediate symptom relief but insisted oral dosing was essential for sustained exposure .

The Reality Check: Why This Protocol Carries Real Risks

For North Carolina readers considering this approach, we must be direct about the dangers:

• No controlled trial validation exists for this protocol. None. Zero randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, or even well-documented case series .
• Extremely high THC exposure: At peak dosing, patients consumed roughly 600-900mg of delta-9 THC daily. For context, the FDA-approved synthetic THC drug dronabinol is dosed at 2.5-20mg per day .
• Real safety risks: Consuming 600-900mg of THC daily carries serious risks including severe intoxication, anxiety, panic, tachycardia, hypotension, and cannabis use disorder [1][13][14][15].
• Oncology complexity: Cancer patients are medically complex. Using unregulated, unstandardized cannabis oil as a primary treatment—potentially in place of proven therapies—introduces harm beyond the oil itself.

We present this protocol here because North Carolina residents will encounter it online. Many cancer patients in our state have already found Simpson’s instructions through Facebook groups, Reddit forums, or word-of-mouth. You deserve to find it here—with full safety context—rather than on a site that hypes it without warnings.

Traditional RSO vs. Modern Formulated RSO: What North Carolina Needs to Know

The “RSO” label in a North Carolina dispensary (if you can find one) likely bears little resemblance to what Simpson actually made. Here’s the honest breakdown:

What Matters	Traditional RSO	OilWell’s Modern RSO
Source Material	Single high-THC indica strain, uncontrolled	Multi-cannabinoid blend from multiple hemp sources
Extraction Solvent	Naphtha or isopropyl alcohol (not food-grade)	Food-grade ethanol or CO₂ methods
Cannabinoids	60-90% delta-9 THC only, unmeasured	Seven defined cannabinoids: CBD, CBG, delta-8 THC, THCa, delta-9 THC, CBN, CBC
Terpene Content	Destroyed by heat	Live terpenes at 5% with seven defined terpenes
Standardization	None—every batch different	Lab-tested, 553mg/mL specific target
Testing	No Certificate of Analysis	Full panel: potency, terpenes, pesticides, heavy metals, residual solvents, microbes
THCa	Fully converted to THC	Preserved as 1,500mg separate ingredient
Legal Status	Schedule I, illegal	Farm Bill compliant, ships to NC legally

Why This Matters for North Carolina

If you’re in Raleigh researching cannabis for your mother’s glioblastoma at UNC Lineberger, you need to know that traditional RSO’s variability means you can’t replicate any specific batch. If you’re in Wilmington managing chronic pain after a construction injury, you need to understand that crude extraction solvents pose real health risks. If you’re in Greensboro helping a veteran with PTSD, you deserve a product where every compound is measured, every contaminant is tested, and every claim is backed by something more than internet hype.

The OilWell Story: From a Paralyzed Dog to North Carolina Access

OilWell Cannabis didn’t start in a boardroom. It started with Bentley.

Bentley was more than a dog—he was family. When veterinarians told Colin Valencia his companion was paralyzed and euthanasia was the only humane option, Colin refused. The pain medications would destroy Bentley’s organs. The prognosis was hopeless. But Colin had spent his childhood in McAllen, Texas—right across from Reynosa, Mexico—in one of the most economically challenged and dangerous border regions in America. He’d learned to hustle, to survive, and to never accept “impossible” as an answer.

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 had cannabis experience, but it was recreational. Getting high. He’d never explored therapeutic applications. Desperate to save Bentley, he learned to create CBD golden paste—a specialized cannabinoid formula for pets.

The results weren’t marginal. They were miraculous. Bentley got up. He walked over to Colin and brought him his ball to play. From paralyzed and facing euthanasia to fetching his ball. This wasn’t placebo—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 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 β-caryophyllene working through different receptor systems simultaneously

Single cannabinoids weren’t enough. Bentley’s evolving conditions required multi-cannabinoid synergy. That necessity—that desperation to keep a loved one alive—became the foundation of OilWell’s RSO formula.

From McAllen to Montrose: Building a Different Kind of Cannabis Company

Colin grew up in border violence. He transported items across the border as a teenager. His best friends have been killed or imprisoned. He’s faced every form of violence imaginable. At sixteen, he had to leave home for good.

Despite that environment, he chose cannabis over darker paths. He learned the plant intimately in the traditional cannabis world pre-legalization. He later became a formally trained software engineer, doing custom development work for Baylor College of Medicine—one of the most prestigious medical institutions in the Texas Medical Center.

That combination—deep cannabis plant knowledge plus medical-grade technical precision—defines OilWell’s approach.

But Bentley’s story was just the beginning. Colin also knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He struggled with PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction. When he decided to break free from Xanax, he did it cold turkey—using the cannabinoid knowledge he’d developed keeping Bentley alive. The Peace Gummies formula that became an OilWell product was created during midnight experiments while fighting through benzo withdrawal. Colin personally uses the vape form for insomnia and severe PTSD.

This is not theoretical knowledge. This is lived experience. And it’s why North Carolina veterans, chronic pain patients, and addiction survivors find something in OilWell’s story that corporate cannabis brands can never replicate.

ABC13 Media Recognition: Seven Features, One Voice of Trust

Between 2019 and 2023, ABC13 Houston—America’s fourth-largest city’s #1 news source—featured Colin Valencia and OilWell Cannabis in seven distinct news segments. Five different reporters sought him out. No other Houston cannabis operator matches that frequency or breadth.

What This Means for North Carolina

Mainstream media validation from a major-market ABC affiliate is independently verified credibility. When North Carolina readers ask, “Who can I trust?” this media record answers: Colin Valencia has been the go-to cannabis authority for Houston’s #1 news station through every major shift in the legal landscape.

The Features That Matter:

September 2019: “I’m not trying to sell people snake oil”
Colin’s foundational quote: “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.”

That quote—from before most competitors existed—guides everything we do. It’s why we publish our formulas. It’s why we cite every study. It’s why we warn about risks others ignore.

May 2021: The Delta-8 Truth Bomb
When ABC13’s Steve Campion asked why someone would want Delta-8, Colin’s response became iconic: “I don’t give a sh* if it’s wrong to say you’ll get high off it. Maybe you want to get high.”* Uncensored honesty on mainstream TV. That kind of radical transparency is what North Carolina readers deserve.

August 2021: $35,000 in Free Product for COVID Vaccination
OilWell gave away 1,000 special edition caviar pre-rolls—$35,000 in product—to encourage COVID vaccination. We coordinated with the City of Houston. No political strings. When North Carolina faces its next public health challenge, you’ll know what kind of company you’re supporting.

October 2021: Ethical Leadership During Crisis
When Texas DSHS reclassified Delta-8 as Schedule I overnight, Colin proactively removed all products before enforcement began and warned other operators who were unknowingly shipping Schedule I narcotics. We absorbed a major revenue loss to act ethically. That’s the kind of integrity North Carolina patients can trust.

October 2022: Personal Conviction History Revealed
The feature opened with our CBD vending machine innovation, then revealed Colin has previously faced marijuana possession charges. Every quote about therapy, about education, about not selling snake oil—all carry additional weight when you understand the person saying it has personally experienced cannabis criminalization. This isn’t corporate marketing. This is lived advocacy.

The Through-Line: Recognition That Cannot Be Purchased

These seven features tell a story no single article could capture. Consistency across years. Breadth of expertise. Documented community action. Personal stakes. Evolution from wholesaler to industry authority. This is recognition that can only be earned.

For North Carolina readers evaluating cannabis companies, ask yourself: has your local dispensary been featured by your state’s top news station seven times over four years? Do they have a media record you can independently verify? OilWell does.

The Science: What Each Cannabinoid Actually Does

North Carolina deserves better than marketing hype. Here’s what the peer-reviewed evidence actually says about every compound in our formula.

CBD: The Foundation

The strongest human evidence in our formula set. Seizure disorders have the clearest major-example indication acknowledged by institutional literature [1][2]. For anxiety, a 2024 systematic review covering 316 participants reported significant anxiolytic signals, though authors stressed the clinical sample remains limited [3]. For pain, a 2024 review concluded the literature is promising but heterogeneous, with trial quality limiting broad confidence [4]. For sleep, a 2023 review found studies methodologically weak, relying heavily on nonvalidated subjective measures [5].

Safety matters: A 2023 meta-analysis found real signals for liver enzyme elevation and possible drug-induced liver injury, especially relevant for concentrated oral products and polypharmacy settings [6]. NCCIH flags diarrhea, sleepiness, appetite changes, mood effects, and drug-drug interactions as important considerations [1].

Bottom line for North Carolina: CBD is the most evidence-developed nonintoxicating cannabinoid, but strong evidence is concentrated in specific indications, not broad wellness claims.

CBG: The Emerging Protector

Mostly review-level and preclinical evidence [7][8]. Pharmacology shows interactions spanning cannabinoid receptors, alpha-2 adrenoceptors, and 5-HT1A signaling—mechanistically interesting but not yet clinically established [7]. Published reviews discuss possible relevance to neurologic disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, and antibacterial activity, but these are primarily pharmacology-led hypotheses rather than mature human conclusions [7][8].

Critical caution: A 2021 pharmacology review noted CBG is already being sold commercially while the evidence base remains thin—claims frequently outrun the science [7].

Bottom line for North Carolina: CBG is a serious research topic but should be described as promising with limited clinical validation, not proven therapy.

Delta-8 THC: The Controversial Cousin

Pharmacologically relevant and psychoactive, but much less clinically characterized than delta-9 THC [9]-[11]. A 2022 review concluded delta-8 and delta-9 have broadly similar pharmacokinetic behavior, but delta-8 appears less potent, likely due to weaker CB1 affinity [9].

Public health reality: A 2023 scoping review found the evidence base dominated by animal studies, product chemistry, and use reports rather than strong human trials. Reports of adverse consequences emphasize regulatory and product-quality concerns [10].

Bottom line for North Carolina: Delta-8 is a psychoactive THC analogue with real pharmacologic activity but incomplete human safety characterization and more manufacturing-quality uncertainty than many consumers realize [9]-[11].

THCa: The Legal Innovation

THCa is the acidic precursor to THC. It does not produce psychoactive effects associated with THC—if it stays in its acidic form [12]. However, heating converts THCa to delta-9 THC, and storage/processing changes can also cause conversion over time [12].

Research status: In vitro and rodent literature suggest anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, neuroprotective, and antineoplastic possibilities, but these are not established human outcomes [12].

Why this matters for North Carolina: Our sublingual formula contains 1,500mg THCa. You can use it raw (non-psychoactive) or decarboxylate it at home (260°F for 45-60 minutes) to convert it to approximately 1,315mg delta-9 THC. Combined with the existing 90mg delta-9 THC, this creates ~1,405mg total THC—full psychoactive potency, entirely at your discretion after legal purchase.

This is the most significant legal cannabis access innovation in history: buy a Farm Bill-compliant product, then activate it yourself.

Delta-9 THC: The Standard Bearer

Strongest human evidence of the psychoactive cannabinoids, but also the clearest adverse-effect burden [1][13]-[15]. NCCIH identifies relevance to chemotherapy-related nausea/vomiting, HIV/AIDS appetite/weight loss, and some MS/pain outcomes, while stressing many other uses remain uncertain [1].

Pain evidence: A 2022 systematic review found high-THC products may provide short-term pain benefit but increase dizziness, sedation, nausea, and treatment discontinuation [13].

Mental health risk: A 2025 systematic review of high-concentration THC products found consistent unfavorable associations with psychosis/schizophrenia outcomes and cannabis use disorder, with concerning signals for anxiety and depression [15].

Bottom line for North Carolina: Delta-9 THC has legitimate therapeutic relevance but carries the clearest intoxication, psychiatric, and dose-related safety liabilities [1][13]-[15].

CBN: The Sleep Question

Marketing has moved far ahead of the data [16][17]. The reputation for sleep/sedation is widespread, but clinical support is thin.

Best direct review: A 2021 narrative review screened 99 human-study abstracts, reviewed 8 full-text articles, and found no clinical trials using validated sleep questionnaires or polysomnography that could substantiate strong sleep-promoting claims [16].

Broader sleep literature: A 2024 updated review concluded cannabis sleep research still doesn’t match real-world use scale, and the need for better-designed, adequately powered trials remains substantial [17].

Bottom line for North Carolina: CBN is one of the clearest examples where cultural reputation exceeds current clinical evidence [16][17].

CBC: The Neurogenesis Hope

Emerging, intriguing, and overwhelmingly preclinical [18][19]. A 2024 focused review argued CBC has distinct pharmacodynamics and highlights antinociceptive, antibacterial, and anti-seizure areas as especially interesting, but explicitly notes over-the-counter CBC products are already being sold despite little evidence establishing clinical efficacy or safety [18].

Bottom line for North Carolina: CBC belongs in the category of scientifically credible minor cannabinoids deserving more research, not already-validated clinical actives [18][19].

Terpenes: Beyond Aroma

North Carolina’s cannabis-curious consumers increasingly understand terpenes matter. Here’s what the science actually says.

The entourage effect is influential but not proven in humans. A 2024 comprehensive review concluded terpene bioactivity is plausible, but robust proof of clinically meaningful entourage effects remains limited [20][29].

Limonene: Multifunctional monoterpene with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective properties—but most claims come from non-cannabis literature [21]. Oxidation products are contact allergens [22].

Myrcene: Anxiolytic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory properties—but explicitly lacking human studies [23]. Sedation claims exceed evidence.

Caryophyllene: Selective CB2 agonist—unusual and pharmacologically relevant [24]. Anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective signals, but limited human confirmation.

Pinene & Linalool: Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective signals—but mostly preclinical [25]. Memory and cognition claims remain exploratory.

Humulene: Cannabimimetic properties via CB1 and adenosine A2a pathways—but early-stage [27].

Terpinolene: Dominated by in silico, in vitro, and animal studies [28].

Bottom line for North Carolina: Terpenes make products smell and taste better, and preclinical activity is plausible. But specific therapeutic claims should be conservative.

Condition-Specific Guidance for North Carolina

Important Disclaimer: These contexts are informed by research cited throughout this document. They are NOT medical prescriptions, NOT FDA-approved protocols, and NOT substitutes for professional medical care. Consult qualified healthcare providers before use—especially if you have medical conditions, take medications, are pregnant/nursing, or have health concerns. Do not operate vehicles or machinery under psychoactive cannabinoid influence.

Chemotherapy Support (For NC Cancer Patients)

Pre-chemo: 0.5-1.0mL sublingual ~1 hour before treatment at Duke Cancer Institute, UNC Lineberger, or your local oncology center.

Breakthrough nausea: 2-3 vape puffs for immediate relief (1-2 minute onset).

Post-chemo: 0.5mL sublingual every 6 hours as needed.

Sleep during treatment: 1.0-2.0mL sublingual before bed delivers 25-50mg CBN.

Evidence: Delta-8 antiemetic [9], delta-9 nausea control [1][13], CBD anxiolytic buffering [3].

Chronic Pain (Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Neuropathy)

Daytime: 0.3-0.5mL raw sublingual—anti-inflammatory without impairment. Critical for NC workers who must stay functional.

Nighttime: 0.5-1.0mL decarbed sublingual—combines pain relief with CBN sleep support.

Breakthrough pain: Vape as needed.

Evidence: CBD pain research [4], delta-9 THC pain evidence [13], beta-caryophyllene CB2 activation [24], THCa COX-2 inhibition [12].

Sleep Disorders (Insomnia, Sleep Apnea)

Before bed: 1.0-2.0mL sublingual.

At 2.0mL, you receive 50mg CBN—the dosage level investigated in 2024 sleep literature.

At 1.0mL, you receive 25mg CBN—above the 20mg threshold associated with reduced sleep disturbance [16][17].

Evidence: CBN sleep studies [16][17], cannabis and sleep review literature.

Anxiety & Stress (PTSD, Generalized Anxiety)

Daytime functional relief: 0.3mL raw sublingual—CBD and CBG address pathways without impairment.

Nighttime: 1.0mL sublingual—full profile including CBN for sleep architecture.

Evidence: CBD anxiety evidence [3], CBG pharmacology [7][8], limonene entourage effect [20].

Opioid Tapering Support (Critical for NC’s Crisis)

North Carolina has been devastated by the opioid epidemic. If you’re in Boone, Asheville, or any NC community working to taper off opioids, our multi-cannabinoid approach may help:

• CBG for neuroprotective support during withdrawal
• CBD for anxiety and craving management [3]
• Delta-8 THC for pain coverage with less intensity than delta-9 [9]
• THCa raw for daytime anti-inflammatory support without impairment
• CBN for sleep restoration during withdrawal

Critical: Do not attempt opioid tapering without medical supervision. North Carolina has addiction recovery resources including:

• NC Department of Health and Human Services: nc.gov/opioid-response
• SAMHSA National Helpline: 1-800-662-4357
• Local NC harm reduction coalitions

Our products can complement, not replace, professional medical care.

Competitive Comparison: OilWell vs. What’s Available in NC

OilWell RSO vs. Texas TCUP Dispensary RSO

Feature	TCUP (Texas Medical)	OilWell (Available in NC)
Cannabinoids	THC-only	7 cannabinoids
CBG/CBN/CBC	0mg	3,000mg/750mg/750mg
Patient Control	Always psychoactive	THCa raw or decarbed—YOUR choice
Access	Medical card required	Age 21+, no card needed
Delivery	Must travel to dispensary	Ships directly to your NC address

OilWell RSO vs. Hemp CBD RSO (e.g., Lazarus Naturals)

Feature	Lazarus (10mL, 1,000mg)	OilWell (30mL, 16,590mg)
Total Cannabinoids	1,000mg	16,590mg (16x more)
CBG	15.5mg	3,000mg (193x more)
CBN	0.7mg	750mg (1,071x more)
Delta-8 THC	0mg	6,000mg
Psychoactive Option	No	Yes via THCa conversion
NC Price	~$40-50	$129.99

Value Proposition for NC: You’re getting 16x total cannabinoids, dramatically higher minor cannabinoid levels, and patient-controlled psychoactivity. For serious therapeutic intent, the comparison isn’t close.

Legal Status in North Carolina: What You Need to Know

Federal Framework (Farm Bill Compliance)

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 delta-9 THC in the entire 30mL bottle (3mg/mL)—well under the limit. All cannabinoids are hemp-derived.

North Carolina State Law

North Carolina has not enacted laws conflicting with the Farm Bill. Hemp-derived cannabinoid products are legal to purchase, possess, and use for adults 21+.

Important: THCa converts to delta-9 THC when heated. You are responsible for understanding and complying with NC laws regarding activated products. Our product is legal at sale; your decarboxylation choices are your responsibility.

Do not ship activated (decarbed) products across state lines. This could violate federal law. Activate only for personal use in NC.

Drug Testing Implications

• Raw THCa use: Will not cause positive THC tests (THCa is non-psychoactive and not what’s tested)
• Decarboxylated THCa or Delta-8 THC use: Will trigger positive results on standard THC drug screens
• Vape use: Will trigger positive results

For NC professionals: If you’re subject to workplace drug testing (healthcare workers, truck drivers, government employees), use the raw form only. We offer a raw-only version explicitly for this purpose.

Decarboxylation: Your Legal Control Point

This is the killer feature for North Carolina. You purchase a legal product, then decide:

Option 1: Raw (No Heat)
All 1,500mg stays as THCa—completely non-psychoactive. Use it for daytime anti-inflammatory support while working, driving, or parenting. Perfect for NC professionals who need relief without impairment.

Option 2: Fully Activated (Home Decarb)
Heat oil at 260°F for 45-60 minutes in an oven-safe glass container. Converts 1,500mg THCa → ~1,315mg delta-9 THC. Combined with existing 90mg, you get ~1,405mg total delta-9 THC + 6,000mg delta-8 THC = full psychoactive potency comparable to illegal RSO, 100% legally.

Option 3: Partial Activation
Transfer a small portion to a separate container and decarb only what you need, preserving the rest raw. This lets you experiment with different ratios for different NC situations—day vs. night, weekday vs. weekend.

Conversion Math: 1mg THCa = 0.877mg delta-9 THC after decarboxylation (loses CO₂ molecule).

Solvent-Free Production: Why It Matters for NC

Traditional RSO used naphtha or isopropyl alcohol. Naphtha contains benzene, toluene, and other carcinogens. Incomplete purging leaves toxic residues.

Our approach: No solvents. We blend individual cannabinoid distillates and isolates in a controlled environment. Organic MCT oil is our carrier—food-grade, facilitates absorption, and provides neutral taste.

Third-Party Lab Testing: Every batch is tested for:

• Cannabinoid potency (HPLC/UHPLC, ±2% accuracy)
• Heavy metals (ICP-MS below FDA limits)
• Pesticides (400+ compounds via LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS)
• Residual solvents (FDA Class 3 limits <5,000 ppm)
• Microbial contaminants (E. coli, Salmonella, Aspergillus)

Certificates of Analysis: Available on request and on our website. For NC researchers, healthcare providers, or skeptical consumers—we’ll show you the data.

The Broader OilWell Portfolio: More Than RSO

Asshole Peach Gummy Rings: $39.99

Our best-selling product. 268mg total cannabinoids per ring: 28mg delta-9 THC, 50mg delta-8 THC, 20mg delta-10 THC, 20mg THCo, 100mg CBD, 50mg CBG. Particularly favored by North Carolina veterans for PTSD and pain relief. Veterans in Jacksonville, Fayetteville, and around Ft. Liberty report this combo provides euphoric, long-lasting relief without being overly aggressive.

SWEETEMintz Sugar-Free Vegan Peppermint Hard Candy: $39.99

28mg delta-9 Nano THC, 100mg Nano CBD, 50mg CBG Isolate. Zero sugar, 100% vegan. Designed for North Carolina’s diabetic and health-conscious consumers.

Custom Creations

We design tailored products for specific needs. NC vegans, diabetics, patients with unique health circumstances—we’ll formulate specific cannabinoid ratios and delivery formats for you.

Addressing North Carolina’s Specific Healthcare Landscape

Cancer Treatment Centers in NC

If you’re being treated at:

• Duke Cancer Institute (Durham)
• UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center (Chapel Hill)
• Wake Forest Baptist Comprehensive Cancer Center (Winston-Salem)
• Carolinas Medical Center (Charlotte)
• ECU Health (Greenville)

Our RSO can complement your treatment protocol. It is not a replacement. Delta-8 THC’s antiemetic properties [9] and delta-9 THC’s nausea control [1][13] may help with chemo side effects. CBD can buffer anxiety [3]. But do not forego proven oncologic therapies.

Veteran Communities

North Carolina hosts one of America’s largest military populations:

We see you. Colin’s benzo withdrawal story, his PTSD management, the Asshole Peach formula veterans prefer—we’ve built products from lived experience similar to yours. Many of our NC veteran customers report the multi-cannabinoid approach addresses both physical pain and psychological trauma more effectively than single-compound products.

Rural NC Access

If you’re in Sylva, Murphy, or any western NC mountain town hours from a dispensary, our direct shipping is your access point. If you’re in eastern NC tobacco country where cannabis stigma remains strong, discreet packaging protects your privacy. If you’re in a NC county without a single CBD shop, we’re your virtual dispensary.

Frequently Asked Questions from North Carolina Customers

Q: Is this actually legal in North Carolina?
A: Yes. Our products contain less than 0.3% delta-9 THC, making them Farm Bill compliant. Hemp-derived cannabinoids are legal in NC.

Q: Will this show up on a drug test?
A: If you use the raw THCa form, no. If you decarboxylate or vape, yes—both delta-8 and activated THCa trigger standard THC tests.

Q: Can I travel with this within NC?
A: Yes, as long as the product remains under 0.3% delta-9 THC. Keep it in original packaging with COA.

Q: How does this compare to what I can get at a NC dispensary?
A: NC doesn’t have recreational dispensaries. Medical access is extremely limited. Our product offers what NC dispensaries can’t: multi-cannabinoid synergy, patient-controlled potency, no medical card needed, direct shipping.

Q: What if I can’t afford $129.99?
A: Use our open-source formula (published above) to source ingredients and make your own. We mean it. Bentley’s story taught us that access matters more than profit.

Q: Can my doctor in NC prescribe this?
A: No, because it’s not FDA-approved. But many NC integrative medicine physicians, functional medicine doctors, and naturopaths are familiar with our products and can provide guidance.

Q: Is there a North Carolina pickup location?
A: Not currently. We ship directly to your NC address. Discreet packaging protects your privacy.

The Bottom Line: Why North Carolina Chooses OilWell

1. Legal access without medical gatekeeping. No NC medical card needed. Age 21+. Ships directly to your door.

2. Patient-controlled potency. Use raw THCa for daytime function. Decarb for full psychoactive potency. Vape for instant relief. You decide—not us.

3. Open-source transparency. Can’t afford our product? Make it yourself using our published formula. That’s the Simpson ethos adapted for 2025.

4. Evidence, not hype. Every claim is tied to peer-reviewed research. We distinguish between what’s proven, what’s promising, and what’s overstated.

5. Proven media credibility. Seven ABC13 features. Five reporters. Four years. Recognition that can only be earned.

6. Lived experience. Colin’s story—border violence, PTSD, benzo withdrawal, Bentley’s paralysis—creates authenticity no corporate brand can replicate.

7. Serious cannabinoid content. 16,590mg total cannabinoids. 7 compounds. 5% terpenes. This isn’t CBD oil with a fancy label.

8. NC community focus. We understand NC’s veteran communities, cancer treatment centers, opioid crisis impact, and rural access challenges. Our products are designed for your reality.

Final Word for North Carolina:

We can’t promise RSO will cure your cancer. We can’t guarantee it will end your chronic pain or fix your PTSD. What we can promise is that we’ll never sell you snake oil, we’ll never hide the science, and we’ll never pretend this is right for everyone.

What we can offer is the best possible version of Rick Simpson’s vision—legal, tested, transparent, and controlled by you. From Houston’s Montrose neighborhood to your front door in Asheville, Charlotte, Wilmington, or anywhere in between, we’re here to provide what Simpson couldn’t: honest medicine for desperate times.

OilWell Cannabis: Because Bentley got up. Because Colin survived. Because you deserve a fair shot.
