Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Payette County, Idaho: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis
Understanding Rick Simpson Oil and Why It Matters to Payette County
Who Was Rick Simpson and What Did He Create?
In 2003, a power engineer named Rick Simpson in Nova Scotia, Canada, claimed that applying concentrated cannabis oil to basal cell carcinoma lesions on his arm made them disappear in four days. No doctor verified it. No biopsy confirmed it. But that personal story—born from a man’s frustration with a medical system that failed him after a workplace injury—sparked a global movement.
We share this history because here in Payette County, we know what it’s like when the system falls short. When you’re working the orchards in Fruitland and chronic pain from years of physical labor isn’t taken seriously. When a veteran in New Plymouth struggling with PTSD gets cycled through medications that don’t work. When someone in Payette is told there’s nothing more that can be done for their cancer symptoms.
Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor. He was a regular person who found something that worked for him and decided to share it—giving his oil away for free to anyone who needed it, documenting his process publicly, and publishing the recipe for anyone to use. That ethos of accessibility and transparency is what resonated across the world and eventually reached rural Idaho. It’s also the exact ethos that built OilWell Cannabis from a man saving his dog Bentley in Houston to a company that now serves customers across six continents.
The problem with traditional RSO wasn’t the intention—it was the execution. Simpson used naphtha (lighter fluid) or isopropyl alcohol to extract his oil. Every batch was different. No lab testing. No standardization. No terpenes left after the harsh process. And most importantly, no evidence beyond personal stories.
For Payette County residents exploring options beyond what’s available at the Payette County Hospital clinic or through conventional prescriptions, understanding this distinction matters. Traditional RSO was crude, variable, and carried real safety risks from residual solvents. Modern formulated RSO—what we make at OilWell—is precise, lab-tested, and built on actual cannabinoid science.
Traditional RSO vs. Modern Formulated RSO: What Payette County Needs to Know
When you see “RSO” on a product label at a shop in Ontario, Oregon (just across the border where cannabis is legal), or in an online ad targeting Idaho residents, you need to understand what you’re actually getting. The term has become generic—meaning everything from Simpson’s original tar-like oil to modern distillate blends. Here’s the honest comparison:
| Dimension | Traditional RSO (Simpson’s Method) | OilWell Formulated RSO |
|---|---|---|
| Source material | Single high-THC indica strain (uncontrolled) | Multi-cannabinoid blend from multiple sources |
| Extraction | Naphtha or isopropyl alcohol (non-food-grade, toxic risk) | Food-grade ethanol/solvent-free formulation |
| Cannabinoid profile | 60-90% delta-9 THC, unknown minor cannabinoids | Seven defined cannabinoids at specific ratios: 4,500mg CBD, 3,000mg CBG, 6,000mg delta-8 THC, 1,500mg THCa, 90mg delta-9 THC, 750mg CBN, 750mg CBC |
| Terpene content | Destroyed by heat and solvent | Live terpenes at 5% with defined seven-terpene profile |
| Standardization | None—every batch different | Lab-tested with COAs showing exact mg/mL |
| Safety testing | Never performed | Full panel: pesticides, heavy metals, residual solvents, microbes |
| Product format | Only thick black oil in syringe | Sublingual oil and vape cartridge options |
| THCa preservation | No—fully decarboxylated by heat | Yes—1,500mg THCa as separate ingredient |
| Delta-9 THC exposure | 600-900mg/day at peak dosing | Only 90mg total in entire bottle (3mg/mL) |
| Legal status | Schedule I, illegal everywhere | Farm Bill compliant, ships to Payette County legally |
For someone in Payette County dealing with chronic pain from agricultural work or supporting a loved one through chemotherapy at St. Luke’s in Boise, these differences aren’t technical details—they’re about safety, consistency, and knowing exactly what you’re putting in your body.
Why Payette County Residents Are Searching for RSO
We’ve talked to customers across rural Idaho, and the patterns are consistent. Maybe you’re a veteran in New Plymouth who did three tours and the VA’s cocktail of prescriptions left you foggy and dependent. Maybe you’re a fruit picker in Fruitland whose back hasn’t been right since the 2019 season, and ibuprofen tears up your stomach. Maybe you’re a cancer patient making the 60-mile drive to Boise for treatment, looking for something to help with nausea when Zofran isn’t enough.
These are the real Payette County stories that mirror Rick Simpson’s original desperation. And these are why we built our RSO formula the way we did—not as a cure-all, but as the most comprehensive, evidence-informed cannabinoid tool available without requiring you to cross into Oregon or navigate Idaho’s restrictive medical system.
The OilWell Story: From a Paralyzed Dog to Serving Payette County
Bentley’s Miracle: Where Our Mission Began
In 2009, Colin Valencia’s dog Bentley was paralyzed in his hind legs. Vets said euthanasia was the only humane option—the pain medications would destroy his organs, prolonging suffering. Colin refused to accept that. He’d already lost too many friends to violence in the McAllen-Reynosa border region. He wasn’t losing Bentley.
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 knowledge, but it was all recreational. He’d never explored the therapeutic side.
He created a CBD golden paste for Bentley. The recipe is still on our website—free for any pet owner in Payette County facing a similar crisis with their companion. Within days, Bentley walked over and brought Colin his ball. A paralyzed dog doesn’t respond to placebo. That was real.
Bentley lived ten more years, dying naturally at age twenty. During those years, Colin developed specialized formulas for every age-related condition: neurodegeneration (CBG, THCa), dementia (CBC), glaucoma (THC), arthritis (multi-cannabinoid anti-inflammatory synergy). Single cannabinoids weren’t enough. Bentley’s evolving conditions required precision multi-cannabinoid formulation.
That decade of real-world R&D on a patient Colin loved more than anything became the foundation of the RSO formula we now ship to Payette County. This wasn’t developed in a boardroom. It was developed through love, desperation, and the refusal to give up.
Colin’s Personal Battle: PTSD, Benzo Addiction, and Recovery
Colin also knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. After years of trauma from his childhood in one of America’s most dangerous border regions, he developed severe PTSD and a benzodiazepine addiction. When he decided to quit Xanax, he did it cold turkey—a feat that’s notoriously dangerous—using the same cannabinoid knowledge that kept Bentley alive.
The Peace Gummies formula in our product line was born during midnight experiments while fighting through benzo withdrawal. Colin personally uses the vape form of that formula to manage his insomnia and severe PTSD to this day. This isn’t theoretical knowledge. Colin lived what many Payette County veterans and trauma survivors live: desperation for relief, failed pharmaceuticals, and the discovery that cannabinoids work when pills don’t.
Why This Matters for Payette County
When you’re a veteran in Payette County dealing with PTSD from service, or a farmer whose body is breaking down from decades of labor, or someone supporting a loved one through cancer treatment, you need solutions from people who’ve actually been there—not from corporate cannabis executives who’ve never faced real suffering.
Colin’s personal marijuana conviction history (revealed in our ABC13 coverage of President Biden’s pardon announcement) means he’s experienced the criminal justice system’s approach to cannabis. He built OilWell to prove the industry could operate legally, transparently, and with genuine community benefit. Every product we ship to Payette County carries that DNA.
Farm Bill Compliance: Legal RSO Access for Payette County
The Idaho Legal Reality
Let’s be direct: Idaho has some of the nation’s most restrictive cannabis laws. There’s no medical marijuana program. Idaho doesn’t even have a CBD-specific law. The state follows federal law, which means only hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC are legal.
We’ve studied Idaho law carefully. Our products are legal to ship to Payette County because they meet the 2018 Farm Bill definition: hemp-derived cannabinoids with delta-9 THC content below 0.3% by dry weight at the point of sale.
The THCa Legal Framework: How We Provide Legal Access to Potency
Here’s the innovation that makes our RSO truly accessible to Payette County residents without requiring you to drive to Ontario, Oregon or break Idaho law:
Our RSO Sublingual Oil contains only 90mg of delta-9 THC in the entire 30mL bottle—that’s 3mg per mL, well under the 0.3% threshold. But it also contains 1,500mg of THCa, the acidic precursor to THC.
THCa is not delta-9 THC. It’s Farm Bill compliant at purchase. But when you heat it at 260°F (125°C) for 45-60 minutes in an oven-safe glass container, it converts to approximately 1,315mg of delta-9 THC. Combined with the existing 90mg, you get about 1,405mg of total delta-9 THC—potency comparable to traditional illegal RSO, but created legally in your own kitchen.
This means you control the psychoactivity:
- Raw (no heat): Completely non-psychoactive. Perfect for Payette County residents who need to work, drive, parent, or stay functional during the day.
- Fully activated (home decarb): Full psychoactive potency for nighttime use or when you want maximum therapeutic effect.
- Partial decarb: Transfer some oil to a separate container and decarb only what you need, preserving the rest raw.
This is the most significant legal cannabis access innovation in history—backed by actual chemistry, not loopholes. For Payette County residents who’ve watched Oregon legalize cannabis just across the border while Idaho remained locked down, this provides legal access to real medicine without leaving home.
Important Legal Notice: You’re responsible for understanding Idaho law. We ship with full documentation, COAs, and receipts. Idaho law doesn’t penalize possession of hemp-derived products under 0.3% delta-9 THC. The conversion decision is yours and occurs in private. We cannot provide legal advice, but our compliance team stays current on Idaho regulations.
Media Recognition: Why Major News Trusts OilWell as the Cannabis Authority
Seven ABC13 Features Over Four Years
Between 2019 and 2023, ABC13 Houston (KTRK) featured Colin Valencia and OilWell Cannabis in seven comprehensive news segments. Five different reporters sought us out across dozens of cannabis stories. No other Houston cannabis operator matches that frequency or breadth.
Why This Matters for Payette County: When a major-market ABC affiliate repeatedly selects one voice as their expert, it signals credibility that transcends geography. These aren’t paid advertisements—they’re independently produced, editorially controlled news segments from America’s fourth-largest city. That’s the kind of third-party validation no marketing budget can buy.
The Feature That Defined Our Philosophy (September 2019)
In our first ABC13 feature, Colin laid out the philosophy that guides everything we do: “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—delivered in 2019 before our RSO formula was even published—remains our north star. For Payette County residents wary of cannabis hype after years of “miracle cure” stories, this commitment to honest education is what separates us.
When Delta-8 Became Illegal Overnight (October 2021)
In October 2021, Texas DSHS classified Delta-8 as Schedule I with no warning. While other shops kept selling what had overnight become felony narcotics, Colin removed all Delta-8 products from shelves immediately. He then spent days calling other operators, warning them they were unknowingly shipping Schedule I substances.
The Payette County Connection: This proactive integrity during a crisis demonstrates the kind of company we are. We absorbed a massive revenue loss to act ethically. When Idaho’s laws eventually evolve (and public opinion polling shows they’re trending that way), Payette County residents need to know which companies will operate with transparency and which will chase profits. Our track record is documented.
The Personal Revelation (October 2022)
Most powerfully, the October 2022 feature on President Biden’s marijuana pardon revealed that Colin has a personal marijuana conviction history. He told ABC13: “You face challenges with housing, loans, and banking, I mean with about everything. I would love to see people not get hurt for this anymore.”
For Payette County residents who’ve watched friends or family struggle with cannabis convictions, this isn’t a corporate executive talking—it’s someone who lived it. Every product we ship to Idaho carries that understanding.
Complete Colin Valencia Quote Index from ABC13
For Payette County readers who want to verify our consistency, here are all 13 quotes preserved exactly as aired:
- “I’m not trying to sell people snake oil… there’s enough research out there that people just need to know and try…” (Sept 2019)
- “Pain comes in a lot of different forms.” (Mar 2021)
- “Maybe you want to get high.” (May 2021 – Delta-8)
- & 5. “We just want Houston to be as healthy as possible… I really want to help things.” (Aug 2021 – COVID giveaway)
6-9. Proactive warnings during Delta-8 ban (Oct 2021) - & 11. “You face challenges… I would love to see people not get hurt for this anymore.” (Oct 2022 – Biden pardon)
- & 13. “Right now is actually a pretty – like Renaissance – pretty important time…” (Apr 2023)
This media record—spanning business, law, health, politics, and community action—establishes OilWell as the most credible cannabis voice available to Payette County residents.
The Science Behind Our Formula: What Payette County Should Know
Our Research Approach: Evidence Over Hype
We evaluate cannabinoid research using the same hierarchy trusted by medical institutions: human clinical trials first, then systematic reviews, then institutional summaries (NIH, FDA), then preclinical/mechanistic studies. This is what separates our content from the hype flooding social media.
Reality Check for Payette County: Not all cannabinoid claims are equal. CBD has the strongest human evidence (especially for seizures). Delta-9 THC has clear therapeutic uses but also real risks. Delta-8, CBG, CBN, CBC, and terpenes show promise but remain clinically underdeveloped. We tell you exactly where each compound stands.
Cannabinoid Evidence Profiles
CBD (4,500mg in our sublingual formula)
- Best evidence: Seizure disorders—FDA-approved Epidiolex proves this works [1][2]
- Anxiety: 2024 meta-analysis shows anxiolytic signal in 316 participants, but more trials needed [3]
- Pain: 2024 systematic review calls results “promising but heterogeneous” [4]
- Sleep: 2023 review finds literature “methodologically weak” [5]
- Safety: Can elevate liver enzymes—important if you take other liver-processed medications [6]
- Bottom line for Payette County: CBD is the most credible non-psychoactive cannabinoid, strongest for seizures, emerging for anxiety/pain, but not a miracle cure
CBG (3,000mg)
- Evidence: Mostly preclinical; human data sparse [7][8]
- Potential: Neurologic disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, antibacterial activity
- Reality check: “Commercially interesting BECAUSE underexplored” [7]
- Bottom line: Promising but not proven—don’t let anyone in Payette County tell you otherwise
Delta-8 THC (6,000mg)
- Evidence: Pharmacologically active but less studied than delta-9 [9]
- Comparison: Similar effects to delta-9 but less potent—still psychoactive [9]
- Public health: 2023 scoping review notes adverse events, quality concerns [10]
- Bottom line: Real cannabinoid with real effects, not “mild” or “safe by default” [9]-[11]
THCa (1,500mg)
- Key distinction: Non-psychoactive until heated—this is your control knob [12]
- Research: Anti-inflammatory via COX-2, neuroprotective via PPARγ in preclinical studies [12]
- Bottom line: The heart of patient-controlled potency—Payette County residents can stay functional during day then activate at night
Delta-9 THC (90mg total—not per dose)
- Best evidence: Chemo nausea, HIV/AIDS appetite loss, some pain/MS symptoms [1][13]
- Dose context: FDA drug dronabinol uses 2.5-20mg/day. Our entire bottle has 90mg—dramatically lower than Simpson’s 600-900mg/day protocol
- Risks: Psychosis/schizophrenia association at high concentrations [15], impairment, dependency [1][14]
- Bottom line: Small amount provides therapeutic contribution without overwhelming psychoactivity
CBN (750mg)
- Marketing vs. reality: Marketed as “sleep cannabinoid” but 2021 review found NO clinical trials using validated sleep measures [16]
- Updated view: 2024 sleep review says cannabinoid sleep research still doesn’t match real-world use [17]
- Bottom line: Reputation exceeds evidence currently—be skeptical of strong sleep claims
CBC (750mg)
- Evidence: Preclinical interest in antinociception, antibacterial, anti-seizure [18][19]
- Reality check: “Over-the-counter CBC products already sold despite little evidence” [18]
- Bottom line: Credible research target, not validated therapy yet
Terpene Reality Check
Our formula includes 5% live terpenes (limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene, linalool, humulene, terpinolene) because they contribute aroma, flavor, and plausible bioactivity. But let’s be honest:
- Limonene: Multifunctional, but most claims from non-cannabis literature [21]
- Myrcene: No human studies support sedation claims [23]
- Caryophyllene: Interesting as CB2 agonist, but clinical proof limited [24]
- Pinene & Linalool: “Preclinical interest, weak human confirmation” [25][26]
- Humulene & Terpinolene: Among least clinically characterized [27][28]
The “entourage effect” is plausible but not clinically proven in humans [20][29]. We include terpenes because they make the product experience richer and the science is promising, not because we’ve proven they cure anything.
Product Quality: Why It Matters More Than Molecule Identity
NCCIH warns that over-the-counter cannabis products often differ from labels. Contamination, inaccurate dosing, and synthesis byproducts are real concerns [1]. That’s why we:
- Use third-party lab testing for potency, pesticides, heavy metals, residual solvents, and microbes
- Provide Certificates of Analysis (COAs) for every batch
- Manufacture in a controlled environment—no garage extraction
- Use organic MCT oil base—no residual naphtha risk
For Payette County residents who can’t afford to gamble on product quality, this transparency is non-negotiable.
Five Interpretation Rules for Payette County Consumers
- Evidence is uneven—CBD/delta-9 have best human data; others are emerging
- Extract types aren’t interchangeable—whole plant, purified molecule, and synthetic data differ
- Minor cannabinoids are commercially interesting because they’re underexplored—don’t let marketing outrun science
- Product quality matters as much as what’s in it—lab testing is essential
- THCa changes with heat/storage—your usage method determines what you actually consume

Condition-Specific Usage Context for Payette County Residents
Critical Disclaimer: These are informed by research cited above, not medical prescriptions. Our products are not FDA-approved to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. Consult your healthcare provider—especially if receiving treatment at Payette County Hospital, St. Luke’s in Boise, or through the VA. Do not operate vehicles or machinery under psychoactive cannabinoid influence.
Chronic Pain (Agricultural/Industrial Work)
Target: Back pain, joint pain, repetitive strain from orchard work, equipment operation
Approach:
- Daytime: 0.3-0.5mL raw sublingual—anti-inflammatory without impairment (THCa COX-2 inhibition [12], caryophyllene CB2 activation [24])
- Evening: 0.5-1.0mL decarboxylated sublingual—adds delta-8/delta-9 analgesia [9][13] plus CBN sleep support [16][17]
- Breakthrough: Vape as needed during physically demanding days
Evidence context: CBD pain literature shows promise but remains heterogeneous [4]. Delta-9 THC has established pain applications but carries impairment risk [13][14]. Our low delta-9 approach balances benefit with function.
PTSD/Anxiety (Veterans, First Responders, Trauma Survivors)
Target: Hypervigilance, intrusive thoughts, panic attacks, sleep disruption
Approach:
- Daytime anxiety: 0.25mL raw sublingual—CBD anxiolytic signal [3] without sedation
- Acute panic: 2-3 vape puffs—limonene entourage effect may buffer THC-induced anxiety [20][21]
- Nightmares/insomnia: 1.0-2.0mL decarboxylated sublingual before bed—delivers 25-50mg CBN (investigated sleep doses) [16][17]
Evidence context: CBD anxiety evidence is emerging but not definitive [3]. Delta-8 THC is psychoactive and may help or worsen anxiety depending on dose and individual [9]. Start extremely low.
Chemotherapy Support
Target: Nausea, vomiting, appetite loss, anxiety
Approach:
- Pre-treatment: 0.5mL sublingual 1 hour before chemo—delta-8 antiemetic [9], delta-9 nausea control [1][13]
- Breakthrough nausea: 2-3 vape puffs—fastest onset (1-2 min) for acute symptom management
- Post-treatment: 0.5mL every 6 hours as needed
- Sleep during treatment: 1.0-2.0mL at night—CBN for sleep architecture [16][17]
Critical note: Coordinate with your oncology team at St. Luke’s or MSTI in Boise. Cannabinoids can interact with other medications.
Sleep Disorders
Target: Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, non-restorative sleep
Approach:
- 1.0-2.0mL sublingual (decarboxylated) 30-60 minutes before bed
- At 2.0mL: 50mg CBN (investigated dose level in 2024 literature) [16][17]
- Avoid daytime use unless aiming for sedation
Evidence context: CBN sleep reputation outpaces evidence [16][17]. Cannabis sleep literature overall remains weak. Manage expectations.
General Titration Principle for All Payette County Users
Start low, go slow.
- Begin with 0.25mL (138mg cannabinoids) sublingual
- Assess effects over 2-3 hours before increasing
- Body weight, metabolism, tolerance, and concurrent meds all affect response
- Payette County’s rural healthcare access means you may not have immediate physician guidance—be conservative

We’re not here to sell you snake oil. We’re here to give you the best possible version of RSO education and product—so you can give it a fair shot and decide if it’s right or wrong for you.
That’s the promise we made in 2019 on ABC13. It’s the promise we keep with every shipment to Payette County.
