A Message to Coosa County: The Complete Guide to Rick Simpson Oil from OilWell Cannabis
Hello from Houston, Texas. We’re OilWell Cannabis, and we’ve spent over a decade refining what Rick Simpson started into a modern, lab-tested, and legally accessible formula. While our home is in Houston’s Montrose neighborhood, our commitment to honest cannabinoid education and accessible products extends to every corner of the country—including right here in Coosa County.
For our neighbors in Coosa County—from the peaceful banks of Lake Martin to the historic communities of Goodwater and Rockford—navigating health options can feel limiting, especially when it comes to plant-based alternatives. Alabama has taken cautious steps with medical cannabis, but access remains a challenge for many. We created this guide to provide the most comprehensive, evidence-based information on Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) available, so you can make informed decisions for yourself and your family, whether you’re dealing with chronic pain from a long day of work on the beautiful Coosa River farms, seeking better sleep in our quiet rural towns, or looking for natural support alongside conventional treatments.
The History of Rick Simpson Oil: From Personal Testimony to Global Movement
Rick Simpson’s story is one of personal desperation leading to global advocacy. After a workplace injury in 1997 left him with debilitating symptoms, he found little relief from conventional medicine. His personal experimentation with concentrated cannabis oil, followed by his claim that it resolved his own skin cancer in 2003, ignited a worldwide movement. He spent years in Nova Scotia, Canada, giving away his oil for free to anyone in need, driven by a belief in its broad therapeutic potential and a deep distrust of pharmaceutical institutions.
It is crucial we distinguish between history and evidence. Simpson’s account is a powerful personal testimony and a historically significant catalyst. However, it was never documented with clinical rigor, biopsies, or peer-reviewed studies. His subsequent 60-gram, 90-day oral protocol became legendary. This involved starting with a tiny “grain of rice” sized dose and escalating to nearly a gram of oil per day—a regimen designed for a crude, single-strain, THC-dominant extract he made himself using solvents like naphtha.
While his heart was in the right place, this traditional method had significant shortcomings we’ve worked to address:
- Unstandardized Potency: Every batch varied wildly.
- Solvent Risk: The use of non-food-grade solvents posed contamination risks.
- Terpene Loss: The high-heat process destroyed beneficial aromatic compounds.
- No Lab Testing: There was no testing for potency, heavy metals, or pesticides.
- No Potency Control: The oil was always fully psychoactive.
Simpson’s advocacy, documented in the film Run From The Cure, forced a global conversation about cannabis as medicine. We honor his contribution while committing to the standards of modern science that his era lacked.
The OilWell Story: From Rescuing a Dog to Formulating Precision Medicine
Our journey didn’t start in a lab or a corporate boardroom. It started with a paralyzed dog named Bentley. Facing euthanasia, our founder, Colin Valencia—a McAllen, Texas, native with a background in both cannabis culture and software engineering for Baylor College of Medicine—refused to give up. He discovered CBD, formulated a specialized golden paste, and witnessed a miracle: Bentley got up, walked, and lived another ten vibrant years.
Those ten years were our research and development phase. As Bentley aged, single cannabinoids weren’t enough. His arthritis, glaucoma, and cognitive changes required a multi-cannabinoid approach targeting different bodily systems. This hands-on, life-or-death formulation work became the foundation of our RSO.
Colin also understands pharmaceutical dependence personally, having used his cannabinoid knowledge to break free from benzodiazepines used for PTSD. This isn’t theoretical for us. We’ve lived the need for effective, natural alternatives. Our mission is built on this authentic foundation: to create precise, effective formulas and provide the transparent education people in Coosa County deserve.
Our Modern RSO Formula: Science, Safety, and Consumer Control
Our RSO is not the black, tar-like oil of the past. It is a translucent, golden oil that represents a deliberate evolution. We’ve moved from Rick Simpson’s single-strain, THC-dominant model to a precision multi-cannabinoid blend, guided by emerging science and a commitment to safety.
The Core of Our Philosophy:
- Accessibility Over Gatekeeping: No medical card is required. Anyone 21+ can legally purchase our Farm Bill-compliant products, and we ship directly to Coosa County.
- Patient-Controlled Potency: This is our most significant innovation for responsible use. Our sublingual oil contains 1,500mg of THCa—the non-psychoactive, raw precursor to THC. You decide:
- Use it RAW for daytime, non-impairing benefits. THCa shows promise for inflammation and neuroprotection without the “high.”
- Gently heat it at home to convert THCa to delta-9 THC for full psychoactive potency. This puts you in control of your experience.
- Open-Source Transparency: We publish our complete formulas. If the cost is prohibitive, we provide the exact recipe and sourcing guidance so you can make your own—a direct homage to Simpson’s free-distribution ethos.
- Evidence-Informed, Not Hype-Driven: We anchor every claim to the published science, which we will detail below.
The Cannabinoid and Terpene Science Behind Our Formula
We formulate with seven specific cannabinoids and seven terpenes because the research suggests a multi-target approach—often called the “entourage effect”—may be more effective than single compounds. Here’s what each component brings, grounded in the current evidence:
The Cannabinoid Profile (Per 30mL Bottle):
- CBD (4,500mg): The most researched cannabinoid. Strongest human evidence supports its use in certain seizure disorders. Promising, though still emerging, research points to potential for anxiety and pain management.
- CBG (3,000mg): Known as the “mother cannabinoid.” Preclinical studies highlight its potential for neuroprotection and targeting inflammation, particularly in the gut.
- Delta-8 THC (6,000mg): A psychoactive compound similar to delta-9 THC but less potent. It shares anti-nausea and appetite-stimulating properties, but consumers should know it can cause impairment and will trigger a positive drug test.
- THCa (1,500mg): The raw, non-psychoactive form. Early science indicates anti-inflammatory properties through different pathways than THC, making it a key ingredient for our patient-controlled potency model.
- Delta-9 THC (90mg): The primary psychoactive compound, kept under the 0.3% federal limit. It has established medical use for nausea and pain, but also carries risks of impairment, anxiety at high doses, and dependency.
- CBN (750mg): Often marketed as a sleep aid. The clinical evidence for sleep is actually quite weak, but it remains a valuable minor cannabinoid in our synergistic blend.
- CBC (750mg): An emerging minor cannabinoid with intriguing preclinical data suggesting anti-inflammatory and neurogenic properties.
The Terpene Profile (5% of Our Formula):
Terpenes are aromatic compounds that give cannabis its scent and may influence its effects. Our specific blend includes:
- Limonene (Citrus): Uplifting and commonly found in citrus peels.
- Beta-Caryophyllene (Pepper): Unique because it directly interacts with the body’s CB2 receptors, part of the endocannabinoid system.
- Myrcene & Pinene (Earthy/Pine): Commonly associated with herbal and pine aromas.
- Linalool (Floral): Also abundant in lavender, known for its calming properties.
- Humulene & Terpinolene (Woody/Fruity): Add depth and complexity to the aromatic profile.
Important Science Disclaimer: While this cannabinoid and terpene synergy is plausible and supported by preclinical data, robust human clinical trials proving the “entourage effect” for specific conditions are still limited. We present this information so you can understand our design choices, not as verified medical claims.
Our Products: Two Formats for Different Needs in Coosa County
We offer two formats because a farmer in Kellyton managing all-day discomfort has different needs than someone in Equality seeking help with middle-of-the-night sleep issues.
1. RSO Sublingual Oil ($129.99)
- Size: 30mL bottle (approximately 40-60 doses).
- Total Cannabinoids: 16,590mg. That’s 553mg of active cannabinoids per mL.
- Use: Place the oil under your tongue for 60-90 seconds before swallowing. Effects begin in 15-45 minutes and last 4-6 hours.
- Best For: Sustained, all-day or all-night support. Precise dosing with the graduated dropper. The raw option is ideal for daytime use in Coosa County, allowing you to tend to your garden, work, or family without psychoactive effects.

- Size: 1-gram cartridge (fits standard 510-thread batteries).
- Use: Inhalation provides effects within 1-2 minutes, lasting 2-4 hours.
- Best For: Fast-acting relief for acute symptoms like breakthrough pain or sudden anxiety. The heating from the vape automatically activates the THCa.
Responsible Use and Dosing Guidelines for Our Community
We are not doctors, and this is not medical advice. Always consult your healthcare provider, especially if you have underlying conditions or are on medication. The “start low, go slow” mantra is vital.
- Beginner Dose: Start with 0.1mL – 0.25mL of the sublingual oil. This is roughly 55-138mg of total cannabinoids. Wait at least 2-3 hours to assess effects before considering more.
- Condition-Specific Context:
- For Sleep: A 1mL dose provides 25mg of CBN, a level studied for sleep support.
- For Daytime Wellness: Use 0.25mL-0.5mL of the raw, unheated oil.
- For Acute Relief: One or two puffs from the vape cartridge can provide fast-onset support.
- Never drive or operate heavy machinery after using a psychoactive (decarboxylated) product. The rural roads of Coosa County demand your full attention.
Legal Compliance and Your Safety in Alabama
Our products are federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill. They are derived from hemp and contain less than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight. THCa is legally distinct from delta-9 THC, which is what allows us to ship directly to you in Coosa County.
Key Alabama Context: Alabama has a limited medical cannabis program, but it is highly restrictive and not yet fully operational. Our hemp-derived RSO exists in a separate federal legal category. It is your responsibility to understand that while we ship to all 50 states, you must be 21+ to purchase and consume.
Our Safety Commitments:
- Solvent-Free: We use no naphtha or ISO alcohol. Our cannabinoids are blended into organic MCT oil.
- Third-Party Tested: Every batch is tested for potency, pesticides, heavy metals, and microbial contaminants. Certificates of Analysis are available.
- Clear Labeling: Our products are accurately labeled with cannabinoid content.
