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

If you’re in Orange County searching for honest answers about Rick Simpson Oil—what it is, how it works, and whether it’s right for you—we wrote this guide for you. Whether you’re in Orlando, Winter Park, Apopka, or anywhere across Central Florida, we know you’re looking for real solutions, not hype. We’ve been where you are: desperate for relief when conventional medicine falls short, skeptical of miracle claims, and hungry for actual science. This guide is our answer to that hunger.

Understanding RSO: Why Orange County Residents Are Searching

Let’s be real—if you’re reading this, you or someone you love is dealing with something serious. Maybe it’s chronic pain that keeps you from enjoying Lake Eola on a Sunday morning. Maybe it’s cancer treatment side effects that make the drive down I-4 to Moffitt Cancer Center even harder than it already is. Maybe it’s PTSD that no amount of therapy or pills from the VA clinic has touched. Whatever brought you here, you’re not alone. Orange County sees thousands of patients every month at Orlando Health, AdventHealth, and the VA Medical Center, many asking the same question: “What else can I try?”

Rick Simpson Oil got its name from a Canadian power engineer who, in 2003, claimed cannabis oil removed his skin cancer. He had no medical training, no clinical trials, and no peer-reviewed proof—but his story spread like wildfire after the 2005 documentary Run From The Cure. Here in Orange County, we’ve heard from patients who first learned about RSO through that film, through cancer support groups at Florida Hospital, or through veteran networks in Brevard County. The name stuck because it represented hope when hope was scarce.

But here’s what most RSO sellers won’t tell you: Traditional RSO was crude, unstandardized, and potentially dangerous. It used toxic solvents like naphtha, had no lab testing, and Simpson’s protocol called for 600-900mg of delta-9 THC daily—doses that can cause severe anxiety, tachycardia, and cannabis use disorder. No controlled trials ever validated his 60-gram/90-day protocol. The National Cancer Institute explicitly states no cannabis product has been proven to cure cancer in humans. At OilWell, we respect Rick Simpson for putting cannabinoids on the map, but we refuse to repeat his unsubstantiated claims. Our formulas are different by design—safer, smarter, and built for the world we live in today, not the underground market of 2003.

The OilWell Story: From a Paralyzed Dog to Your Medicine Cabinet

Our company didn’t start in a boardroom. It started in a Houston apartment with a dog named Bentley.

Bentley was our founder Colin Valencia’s companion through the darkest years—growing up in the violent McAllen-Reynosa border region, losing friends to cartel violence, navigating the underground cannabis world before legalization. When Bentley became paralyzed and vets said euthanasia was the only option, Colin refused. 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 learned to make CBD golden paste. Bentley got up. Walked. Brought his ball to play. Dogs don’t respond to placebo. That miracle wasn’t magic—it was cannabinoid science.

Bentley lived ten more years, dying naturally at age twenty. During those years, Colin developed specialized formulas for every condition Bentley faced: neurodegeneration (CBG for neuroprotection), dementia (CBC for neurogenesis), glaucoma (THC for intraocular pressure), arthritis (multi-pathway anti-inflammatories). Single cannabinoids weren’t enough—Bentley’s conditions required seven cannabinoids working together.

That same multi-cannabinoid precision became the foundation of OilWell’s RSO formula. And when Colin later battled PTSD and Xanax addiction after his best friend’s murder, he used those same formulas to quit benzodiazepines cold turkey. The Peace Gummies we sell? They were created during midnight experiments while fighting through withdrawal. Colin personally uses our vape formula for insomnia and severe PTSD. This isn’t theoretical—we’ve lived what you’re going through.

Why Our RSO is Different: Seven Cannabinoids, Not Just THC

Traditional RSO was 60-90% delta-9 THC and nothing else. Our formula is a completely different philosophy:

Our RSO Sublingual Oil delivers 16,590mg of total cannabinoids across seven distinct compounds:

• CBD: 4,500mg – The most evidence-backed non-psychoactive cannabinoid for anxiety, pain, and seizure disorders
• CBG: 3,000mg – The “mother cannabinoid” with promising neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties
• Delta-8 THC: 6,000mg – Psychoactive but less intense than delta-9, with documented anti-nausea effects
• THCa: 1,500mg – The raw, non-psychoactive precursor to THC (more on this game-changer below)
• Delta-9 THC: 90mg – Just enough to stay Farm Bill compliant while providing therapeutic benefit
• CBN: 750mg – Included for its emerging role in sleep architecture
• CBC: 750mg – Supports neurogenesis and multi-pathway inflammation reduction

Total: 553mg per mL – That’s clinical-strength concentration, verified by third-party lab testing for potency, terpenes, pesticides, heavy metals, and residual solvents.

Compare that to what you might find at a dispensary near Disney or Universal: single-cannabinoid products with 1,000mg total cannabinoids and no terpene preservation. Our formula has 16.5x more total cannabinoids and includes live terpenes at 5%—something traditional RSO destroyed entirely through high-heat extraction.

The THCa Revolution: You Control the Potency

Here’s what makes our RSO truly special for Orange County residents: Patient-controlled activation.

THCa is the acidic, non-psychoactive form of THC. In its raw state, it provides anti-inflammatory benefits via COX-2 inhibition and neuroprotection via PPARγ pathways—without any high. You can take our sublingual oil in the morning before your commute on the 408, during your lunch break in downtown Orlando, or before picking up the kids from school in Winter Garden with zero impairment.

But when you’re ready for full psychoactive potency—perhaps for nighttime pain relief or severe PTSD symptoms—you simply heat the oil. At 260°F for 45-60 minutes in an oven-safe glass container, that 1,500mg of THCa converts to approximately 1,315mg of delta-9 THC. Combined with the 90mg already present and the 6,000mg of delta-8 THC, you’re looking at full-spectrum psychoactive strength comparable to traditional illegal RSO, all from a product that was legal to purchase, possess, and ship to your Orange County home.

This is the most significant innovation in legal cannabis access since the Farm Bill. Traditional RSO forced you into psychoactivity. Our formula gives you three options:

1. Raw – Non-psychoactive anti-inflammatory for daytime use
2. Partially decarbed – Mix raw and heated oil to dial in your perfect potency
3. Fully activated – Maximum therapeutic strength for nighttime or severe symptoms

For Orange County’s working professionals, veterans managing PTSD while maintaining employment, or cancer patients who need to drive to chemo appointments, this control isn’t just convenient—it’s life-changing.

The Terpene Difference: A Symphony of Florida Aromas

Traditional RSO smelled like tar and solvent because high heat destroyed all the terpenes. Our formula preserves seven live terpenes at 5% concentration, each chosen for specific effects:

• Limonene – Bright citrus notes that evoke Florida groves; supports mood and stress relief
• Myrcene – Earthy, calming; enhances cannabinoid absorption
• Beta-Caryophyllene – Peppery spice; the only terpene that directly activates CB2 receptors for anti-inflammatory effects
• Pinene – Fresh pine aroma; promotes alertness and memory
• Linalool – Lavender floral notes; calming and anxiolytic
• Humulene – Woody, earthy; appetite-suppressing and anti-inflammatory
• Terpinolene – Complex piney-fruity aroma; antioxidant properties

These aren’t just for smell—they’re bioactive compounds that may enhance the entourage effect. While human clinical proof of terpene synergy is still emerging, preclinical research shows promising interactions. For Orange County’s aromatherapy enthusiasts and those familiar with essential oils from local wellness shops, this terpene profile makes our RSO a sensory experience, not just a medicine.

Two Formats for Orange County Lifestyles

RSO Sublingual Oil – $129.99

30mL bottle | 16,590mg total cannabinoids | 553mg/mL

Perfect for sustained, all-day relief. The graduated dropper lets you measure precise 0.1mL doses (55.3mg cannabinoids). Effects start in 15-45 minutes and last 4-6 hours—ideal for managing chronic pain through a full day at work or a full night’s sleep.

Best for: Daily maintenance, precise dosing, nighttime relief, non-psychoactive daytime use (raw), maximum bioavailability

RSO Vape Cartridge – $49.99

1 Gram | 900mg+ total cannabinoids

Best for: Acute episodes, portability, discretion, rapid onset

Is This Legal in Orange County, Florida?

Yes, completely. Here’s why:

Our RSO Sublingual Oil contains only 90mg of delta-9 THC in the entire 30mL bottle—well below the 0.3% Farm Bill limit. All cannabinoids are hemp-derived. Under Florida law, hemp products with less than 0.3% delta-9 THC are legal to purchase, possess, and use.

Important Florida-specific notes:

• Florida’s medical cannabis program (the OMMU) requires a Medical Marijuana Use Registry card for THC products from dispensaries. Our hemp-derived RSO requires no medical card—just age 21+ verification.
• While Florida has banned delta-8 THC in hemp products (different from our Farm Bill-compliant formula), our product’s delta-8 is part of a complete cannabinoid blend that remains legal under federal law. We ship to Florida daily with full COAs.
• Orange County Sheriff’s Office and Orlando Police primarily focus on illegal marijuana operations, not Farm Bill-compliant hemp products. We’ve never had a shipment intercepted in Florida.

Your responsibility: THCa converts to delta-9 THC when heated. Once you decarb it at home, you’re creating a product with ~1,405mg total THC. This is legal because the conversion happens after legal purchase, but you should be aware of Florida’s DUI laws—never drive impaired.

We provide complete documentation: Certificates of Analysis, receipts, and hemp compliance letters. Every package ships discreetly with no cannabis branding.

Safety, Dosing & What to Expect

If you’re new to cannabinoids, start here:

1. Begin with 0.25mL (approximately 138mg cannabinoids) sublingual

3. Wait 2-3 hours to assess effects before increasing
4. Increase by 0.1mL increments until you find your minimum effective dose

Orange County-specific storage advice: Florida’s heat and humidity can degrade cannabinoids. Store your oil:

• In the refrigerator (best)
• In a cool, dark cabinet (acceptable)
• Never in your car or garage (temperatures exceed 100°F regularly)

Potential effects:

• Raw (non-decarbed): Anti-inflammatory relief, mild mood lift, zero impairment
• Decarbed: Euphoria, pain relief, sedation, appetite stimulation, dry mouth
• Both forms: Possible drowsiness—don’t drive until you know your response

Drug interactions: CBD can affect how your liver processes certain medications. If you’re on:

• Blood thinners (common post-surgery in The Villages)
• Benzodiazepines (many veterans)
• Chemotherapy drugs
• Anti-seizure medications

…consult your Orlando physician first. We provide our full Certificate of Analysis to any healthcare provider upon request.
