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

If you’re reading this in Putnam County, Indiana—whether you’re in Greencastle, Cloverdale, Roachdale, or out in the rural stretches between cornfields—you’ve probably heard whispers about Rick Simpson Oil. Maybe you saw a mention in a cancer support group at Putnam County Hospital. Maybe a veteran at the American Legion post in Fillmore recommended it for PTSD. Maybe you’re a DePauw University student researching alternative medicine, or a farmer outside Reelsville struggling with chronic pain after years of physical labor. Wherever you are in Putnam County, you deserve honest, evidence-based information about RSO—not hype, not promises, just the truth backed by science and transparent practices.

We wrote this because we’ve seen how Putnam County residents search for real solutions. You’ve told us your stories: the nurse from Bainbridge who watched a loved one struggle through chemotherapy, the factory worker from Russellville seeking alternatives to opioid prescriptions, the caregiver in Greencastle desperately researching options for a family member’s chronic pain. The medical system in west-central Indiana—while dedicated—has gaps. Specialists are in Indianapolis (45 miles away) or Terre Haute (30 miles), and integrative medicine options are limited here at home. That’s why access to properly formulated, legal cannabinoid medicine matters for Putnam County.

What This Guide Covers for Putnam County Readers:

• The real history of Rick Simpson Oil and why it matters to Indiana
• How traditional RSO differs from modern, lab-tested formulations
• Our seven-cannabinoid, seven-terpene RSO formulas—published openly for transparency
• Complete safety information specific to Indiana law and Putnam County lifestyle
• How to legally order to Greencastle, Cloverdale, or anywhere in Putnam County
• Evidence for each ingredient, connecting to conditions that affect our community

This is not a sales pitch. As we told ABC13 Houston—the news station that featured us seven times over four years—”We’re not trying to sell people snake oil. We’re 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 philosophy hasn’t changed, and it applies just as much to Putnam County as it does to Houston.

Who Was Rick Simpson? Understanding the Origins of RSO

Rick Simpson was not a doctor. He was a power engineer and maintenance worker from Amherst, Nova Scotia—a tradesman, not a medical professional. In 1997, he suffered a severe head injury in a scaffolding fall at a hospital in Moncton. The medications prescribed either failed to help or made his tinnitus and dizziness worse. When he discovered cannabis provided relief and asked his doctor to consider it, the doctor refused .

This experience—being failed by conventional medicine, then dismissed for seeking alternatives—resonates deeply in Putnam County. We know the frustration of traveling to Indianapolis for specialist appointments only to be offered another prescription that doesn’t work. We understand the desperation when the local pharmacy’s options run out. Simpson’s story is the story of countless Hoosiers who’ve had to become their own health advocates.

In 2003, Simpson claimed three bumps on his arm diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma disappeared after he applied concentrated cannabis oil and covered them with bandages for four days. This was personal testimony, not medical evidence. No biopsy confirmation, no independent verification, no peer-reviewed documentation exists . Yet this claim became the origin story of Rick Simpson Oil, sparking a global movement.

The Traditional RSO Protocol: What Simpson Recommended

Simpson designed a 60-gram, 90-day oral protocol for cancer and other serious conditions. For Putnam County readers considering this, we present the full details honestly, followed by critical safety context.

The 90-Day Titration Schedule:

• Week 1: Half a grain of rice-sized dose (10-15mg), three times daily
• Weeks 2-5: Double every four days, aiming for 1 gram (1,000mg) per day by week 5
• Weeks 5-12: Maintain 1 gram daily, divided into three doses
• Total: 60 grams over approximately 90 days

Administration Methods:

• Oral/sublingual: Primary route, placed under tongue or swallowed
• Topical: For skin lesions, applied directly with bandages
• Not recommended: Inhalation as primary treatment (though acknowledged for symptom relief)

Tolerance and Effects:

• Simpson claimed tolerance to psychoactive effects develops in 3-4 weeks
• Recommended nighttime dosing initially to sleep through early effects
• Warned against driving during titration

Important Context for Putnam County Residents Evaluating This Protocol:

This protocol was designed for crude, unstandardized material and has never been validated in controlled clinical trials. Traditional RSO contained approximately 60-90% delta-9 THC, meaning the peak 1-gram daily dose delivered 600-900mg of THC—far exceeding anything studied clinically .

For perspective, the FDA-approved synthetic THC drug dronabinol is typically dosed at 2.5-20mg per day. Simpson’s protocol was 30-450 times higher. At those doses, risks include severe intoxication, anxiety, panic, tachycardia, hypotension, and cannabis use disorder [1][13][14][15].

If you’re a cancer patient being treated at Putnam County Hospital or traveling to IU Health in Indianapolis, please discuss any RSO use with your oncology team. Delaying or replacing proven treatments carries genuine harm potential. The National Cancer Institute acknowledges cannabinoid research but does not endorse cannabis as a cancer treatment . The FDA has not approved any cannabis plant product for cancer [1].

What Traditional RSO Actually Was (And Its Problems)

To understand why modern formulations differ, Putnam County readers need to see what Simpson actually produced:

Source Material: Single high-THC indica strain, no standardization. Every batch varied based on the plant’s genetics and growing conditions.

Extraction Solvent: Naphtha (petroleum-based lighter fluid) or 99% isopropyl alcohol—neither food-grade. Naphtha may contain benzene, toluene, and other carcinogens. Residual solvent contamination was a serious risk .

Process: Soaked plant material in solvent, filtered, then evaporated solvent in a rice cooker at 60-80°C (140-176°F). This heat destroyed terpenes and fully decarboxylated THCa into THC.

Appearance: Nearly black, thick, tar-like oil with strong cannabis odor and possible solvent residual smell.

Cannabinoid Profile: 60-90% delta-9 THC, with minor cannabinoids at whatever ratios the source plant contained—uncontrolled, unmeasured, never lab-verified.

Terpene Content: Essentially zero. The solvent and heat process volatilized all terpenes.

Standardization: None. No Certificates of Analysis, no potency testing, no contaminant screening.

Residual Solvent Risk: Naphtha and isopropyl alcohol are not food-grade. Incomplete purging left potentially harmful residues, difficult to verify without lab equipment.

For Putnam County residents accustomed to the quality standards of local pharmacies in Greencastle or the careful practices of DePauw’s science labs, this level of variability is unacceptable. That’s why modern, formulated RSO represents such an important evolution.

Simpson’s Claims vs. The Evidence: What Putnam County Needs to Know

What Simpson Claimed: RSO could cure cancer, diabetes, chronic pain, infections, glaucoma, arthritis, depression, insomnia, and more .

What Simpson Was Not: He had no medical training, conducted no clinical trials, published no peer-reviewed research. His evidence was personal testimony and informal testimonials—no controls, no verification, no blinding .

What Preclinical Research Shows: In lab studies and animal models, THC and CBD can induce apoptosis (cell death), inhibit tumor proliferation, and reduce blood vessel formation in certain cancer cell lines . This is scientifically interesting but has not translated to proven human cancer cures.

What Human Clinical Trials Show: No randomized controlled trial has demonstrated RSO or any cannabis oil cures cancer. Small exploratory trials in glioblastoma have been conducted but haven’t produced definitive results .

Institutional Positions:

• National Cancer Institute: Acknowledges preclinical research but does not endorse cannabis as cancer treatment
• FDA: Has not approved any cannabis plant product for cancer treatment [1]
• Health Canada: Never approved RSO for cancer

What Simpson Got Right: He drew attention to cannabinoids as serious biomedical research when the world ignored them. He helped create conditions for today’s legal cannabis industry. The term “RSO” remains the most recognized name for full-spectrum cannabis extract .

What He Overstated: Cure claims exceeded the evidence. Encouraging patients to use RSO instead of proven cancer therapies carries genuine harm potential. Delayed treatment for treatable cancers is a documented concern in alternative medicine.

The OilWell Cannabis Story: From a Dog Named Bentley to Putnam County

OilWell Cannabis was founded by Colin Valencia in Houston, Texas. But our story begins in McAllen, Texas—right across the river from Reynosa, Mexico—in one of the most economically challenged and dangerous border regions. Colin grew up exposed to violence, poverty, and systemic failure. By sixteen, he had to leave home. Many of his best friends were killed or imprisoned. He chose cannabis over darker paths, learning the plant intimately in the traditional pre-legalization world .

Colin later became a formally trained software engineer, doing custom development for Baylor College of Medicine—one of America’s most prestigious medical institutions. That combination of deep plant knowledge and medical-grade technical precision defines everything we do.

Bentley: The Heart of Our Mission

Our company’s origin isn’t a business plan—it’s a dog named Bentley. When Bentley fell seriously ill, veterinarians recommended euthanasia. He was paralyzed in his back legs. Pain medications would destroy his organs. The choice was prolonged suffering or mercy killing.

A rescue worker named Jessica asked Colin: “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and you’ve never heard of CBD?” That question changed everything. Colin created CBD golden paste. Bentley got up, walked over, and brought his ball to play. Dogs don’t respond to placebo. This was real cannabinoid medicine doing what pharmaceuticals couldn’t.

Bentley lived ten more years, dying naturally at age twenty. During those years, Colin developed formulas for every age-related condition Bentley faced:

• Neurodegeneration → CBG for neuroprotection, THCa for PPARγ agonism
• Dementia → CBC for neurogenesis
• Glaucoma → THC for CB1 agonism and intraocular pressure
• Arthritis → Multi-pathway anti-inflammation using CBD, CBG, THCa, and beta-caryophyllene

Single cannabinoids weren’t enough. Bentley’s evolving conditions required multi-cannabinoid synergy—the foundation of our RSO formulas today.

Colin’s Personal Journey: PTSD and Benzo Withdrawal

Colin knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He struggled with PTSD and Xanax addiction. He quit cold turkey using the cannabinoid knowledge he developed saving Bentley. The Peace Gummies formula was created during midnight experiments while fighting through benzo withdrawal. Colin personally uses the vape form for insomnia and severe PTSD. This isn’t theoretical—he lived what our RSO patients live.

Media Recognition: Seven ABC13 Features Over Four Years

ABC13 Houston featured us seven times between 2019-2023, across five different reporters. No other Houston cannabis operator matches this frequency or breadth. These features—covering business, law, medicine, community health, and politics—document our evolution and credibility. When Texas banned Delta-8 overnight in October 2021, we proactively removed all products before enforcement and warned other operators who were unknowingly shipping Schedule I narcotics. When President Biden announced marijuana pardons in 2022, Colin revealed his personal cannabis conviction history, putting a human face on criminal justice reform.

Our foundational quote from September 2019: “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.”

The OilWell RSO Philosophy: Four Core Principles for Putnam County

Our RSO is not traditional Rick Simpson Oil. It’s a formulated, multi-cannabinoid product informed by RSO tradition but solving its problems. Four principles define our approach:

1. Accessibility Over Gatekeeping

• No medical card required—critical for Putnam County, where Indiana has no legal medical cannabis program
• Age 21+ only—simple, clear requirement
• Ships nationwide—we deliver to Greencastle, Cloverdale, and every corner of Putnam County
• Same-day delivery in Houston, 2-3 day shipping to Indiana via USPS Priority Mail

Putnam County residents don’t need to drive to Indianapolis or cross state lines. You can order legally from your home in Roachdale or your farm outside Bainbridge.

2. Patient-Controlled Potency

Traditional RSO was always psychoactive—fully decarboxylated by heat. Our formula contains 1,500mg of THCa in its raw, non-psychoactive form. You decide:

Option 1: Raw (Non-Psychoactive)

• Use the oil as-is
• Zero impairment—perfect for daytime use, work, driving, parenting
• THCa provides potential anti-inflammatory benefits via COX-2 inhibition and neuroprotection via PPARγ agonism [12]

Option 2: Fully Activated (Home Decarboxylation)

• Heat oil at 260°F (125°C) for 45-60 minutes in oven-safe glass
• Converts 1,500mg THCa → ~1,315mg delta-9 THC
• Combined with 90mg existing delta-9 THC = ~1,405mg total delta-9 THC
• Plus 6,000mg delta-8 THC = full-potency psychoactive RSO, legally activated after purchase

Option 3: Vape (Instant Activation)

• Our RSO Vape Cartridge vaporizes at 400-450°F, instantly converting THCa with each puff
• 1-2 minute onset for acute relief

This patient control aligns with Rick Simpson’s principle that patients should command their medicine, but we implement it through chemistry, not rhetoric.

3. Open-Source Formulas

We publish our complete formulas publicly—every cannabinoid, every milligram, every percentage. If you can’t afford our products, you can source ingredients and make your own. This echoes Simpson’s free-distribution ethos for the modern era.

The Bentley Golden Paste Recipe (Our Original Open-Source Formula):

• ½ cup organic turmeric powder
• 1 cup water
• ⅓ cup organic coconut oil
• 1-2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• CBD oil (dose per pet’s needs)

We published this recipe—the one that saved Bentley—so any Putnam County pet owner facing a similar crisis can try it. That wasn’t marketing; that was our foundation.

4. Evidence-Informed, Not Evidence-Overstating

Rick Simpson operated without peer-reviewed literature access. We have that access and use it ruthlessly to distinguish what’s proven, what’s emerging, and what’s overstated. The GENERAL KNOWLEDGE section of this document applies the same standards to our products that we apply to the field.

Farm Bill Compliance and the THCa Legal Framework: Why This Matters for Indiana

The 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC at the federal level. This is the legal foundation making RSO accessible to Putnam County.

Our RSO Sublingual Oil:

• 90mg delta-9 THC in entire 30mL bottle = 0.3% delta-9 THC (exactly at legal threshold)
• All cannabinoids hemp-derived
• Legal in Indiana and most states

THCa Distinction:
THCa is the acidic, non-psychoactive precursor to THC. It’s not classified as delta-9 THC at point of sale. This allows us to include 1,500mg of THCa while maintaining Farm Bill compliance. You legally purchase, possess, and transport the product in Putnam County. The conversion to THC happens at your discretion through heating.

Important Legal Notice for Putnam County Residents:
THCa converts to delta-9 THC when heated. You are responsible for understanding and complying with Indiana law. We ship with full documentation, Certificates of Analysis, and receipts. Indiana has strict cannabis laws—possession of even small amounts of marijuana is a misdemeanor. Our product is legal because it meets the Farm Bill’s delta-9 THC threshold, but we encourage you to keep your COA documentation with the product.

Open-Source Formulas: Why We Publish Everything

We believe Putnam County residents deserve transparency. Below are our complete formulas—the same information we’d share with a formulator at Eli Lilly or a researcher at Purdue University.

Seven-Terpene Profile (Both Products)

Our live terpene blend is identical across both products:

• Limonene (citrus-bright) – mood elevation, potential anti-anxiety [20][21]
• Myrcene – relaxation, sedative potential (preclinical) [20][23]
• Caryophyllene (β-caryophyllene – pepper/spice) – CB2 agonist, anti-inflammatory [24]
• Pinene (forest-fresh) – alertness, memory support (preclinical) [20][25]
• Linalool (floral, lavender) – calm, stress reduction [20][25][26]
• Humulene (earthy, woody) – anti-inflammatory (preclinical) [20][27]
• Terpinolene (piney, fruity, sparkling) – antioxidant (preclinical) [20][28]

We preserve these terpenes because the entourage effect literature suggests cannabinoid-terpene synergy may enhance therapeutic potential, though robust human proof remains limited [20][29].

Solvent-Free Production: Safety for Putnam County

Traditional RSO used toxic solvents like naphtha. We use no solvents in production. Our process blends individual cannabinoid distillates and isolates at specific ratios in controlled conditions.

Third-Party Lab Testing Includes:

• Cannabinoid potency (HPLC/UHPLC, ±2% accuracy)
• Terpene profile
• Pesticides (400+ compound screening)
• Heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury below FDA limits)
• Residual solvents (FDA Class 3 limits <5,000 ppm)
• Microbial contaminants (E. coli, Salmonella, Aspergillus)

Certificates of Analysis (COAs) available on request and via our website. For Putnam County residents, this is the quality assurance you expect from DePauw’s science labs or Putnam County Hospital’s pharmacy—applied to cannabinoid medicine.

Condition-Specific Usage Context for Putnam County

Critical Disclaimer: These contexts are informed by research cited in our GENERAL KNOWLEDGE section. They are not medical prescriptions, not FDA-approved, and not a substitute for professional care. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider, especially if you’re being treated at Putnam County Hospital, IU Health, or any specialist. Do not operate vehicles or machinery while impaired.

Chemotherapy-Related Nausea & Appetite Support

For Putnam County cancer patients traveling to Indianapolis for treatment:

• Pre-chemo: 0.5-1.0mL sublingual 1 hour before
• Acute breakthrough: 2-3 vape puffs (1-2 min onset)
• Post-chemo: 0.5mL sublingual every 6 hours as needed
• Sleep: 1.0-2.0mL sublingual before bed (delivers 25-50mg CBN)

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

Chronic Pain (Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Neuropathy)

Common in Putnam County’s agricultural and manufacturing workforce:

• Daytime: 0.3-0.5mL raw sublingual (non-psychoactive anti-inflammatory)
• Nighttime: 0.5-1.0mL decarboxylated sublingual + CBN for sleep
• Breakthrough: Vape as needed

Evidence: CBD pain modulation [4], Delta-9 THC analgesia [13], Caryophyllene CB2 activation [24], THCa COX-2 inhibition [12]

Sleep Disorders

Affects many in Putnam County’s high-stress rural economy:

• Before bed: 1.0-2.0mL sublingual
• At 2.0mL: Delivers 50mg CBN (dosage level in 2024 sleep literature) [16][17]
• At 1.0mL: Delivers 25mg CBN (above threshold for reduced sleep disturbance)

Anxiety & Stress

• Daytime functional: 0.3mL raw sublingual (CBD + CBG, no impairment)
• Nighttime: 1.0mL sublingual (full profile including CBN)

Evidence: CBD anxiolytic [3], CBG pharmacology [7][8], Limonene entourage potential [20]

General Titration Principle for Putnam County

Start low, go slow. Begin with 0.25-0.5mL sublingual and assess effects over 2-3 hours before increasing. Individual responses vary by weight, metabolism, tolerance, medications, and genetics. This is especially important for older adults in Putnam County who may be on multiple medications.

Indiana Legal Considerations

Indiana has not legalized medical or recreational cannabis. However, Farm Bill-compliant hemp products with <0.3% delta-9 THC are legal. Our products meet this standard. We provide:

• Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every order
• Farm Bill compliance documentation
• Federal hemp program registration details

Keep your COA with your product. While our products are legal, Indiana law enforcement may not be familiar with THCa and hemp derivatives. Documentation protects you.

Do not decarboxylate in public or transport activated product across state lines if it exceeds 0.3% delta-9 THC. The legal threshold applies to the product’s state at point of possession.

Evidence-Based Compound Profiles: The Science Behind Our Formula

CBD (Cannabidiol) – 4,500mg

Strongest human evidence in our formula. Best supported for rare epilepsies (FDA-approved Epidiolex) [1][2]. Modest evidence for chemotherapy nausea and chronic pain [1][4]. 2024 meta-analysis shows significant anxiolytic effects but notes limited clinical samples [3]. Safety concerns include potential liver enzyme elevation and drug interactions—important for Putnam County residents on multiple medications [1][6].

CBG (Cannabigerol) – 3,000mg

Clinically immature but promising. Acts on cannabinoid receptors, alpha-2 adrenoceptors, and 5-HT1A pathways [7]. Preclinical interest in neurologic disorders and inflammatory bowel disease [7][8]. Commercially sold despite thin evidence base—claims often outrun science [7]. We include it for its potential, clearly labeled as emerging research.

Delta-8 THC – 6,000mg

Pharmacologically active, less characterized than delta-9. Partial CB1 agonist with cannabimimetic activity, about 50-75% potency of delta-9 [9]. Human evidence dominated by use reports and public health concerns rather than robust trials [10]. Manufacturing quality concerns exist [11]. We include it for its therapeutic potential while acknowledging its psychoactive nature and incomplete safety profile.

THCa (Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid) – 1,500mg

The innovation that makes patient-controlled potency possible. Non-psychoactive in raw form [12]. Converts to delta-9 THC at 260°F (125°C) [12]. Ratio: 1mg THCa = 0.877mg delta-9 THC. Preclinical research suggests anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and antineoplastic possibilities, but human evidence is limited [12]. For Putnam County residents needing daytime functionality, this is your non-psychoactive option.

Delta-9 THC – 90mg

Strongest human evidence among psychoactive cannabinoids. FDA-approved for chemotherapy nausea and HIV/AIDS appetite loss [1]. 2022 systematic review shows short-term pain benefit but increased dizziness, sedation, and discontinuation [13]. High-concentration risks: 2025 review links high-THC products to psychosis, schizophrenia, anxiety, and cannabis use disorder [15]. Our 90mg total dose (vs. Simpson’s 600-900mg daily) reflects modern safety understanding. We include a minimal amount for entourage effect and legal compliance.

CBN (Cannabinol) – 750mg

Most overstated cannabinoid in our formula. Marketed heavily for sleep, but 2021 review of 99 human studies found no clinical trials using validated sleep measures to support strong claims [16]. 2024 sleep literature update confirms weak evidence base [17]. We include 750mg (25mg per mL) because doses of 20-50mg have been investigated in emerging research, but we explicitly state: CBN’s sleep reputation exceeds its clinical proof.

CBC (Cannabichromene) – 750mg

Emerging minor cannabinoid with distinct pharmacology. 2024 review highlights antinociceptive, antibacterial, and anti-seizure potential [18]. Older preclinical literature shows anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects [19]. “Clinically immature”—over-the-counter products sold despite little efficacy/safety evidence [18]. We include it for its unique receptor profile and future research promise.

Terpene Evidence Profiles: What Putnam County Should Know

Our 5% live terpene blend adds aroma, flavor, and potential bioactivity. But claims require caution—most evidence is preclinical or from non-cannabis sources [20][29].

Limonene

Multifunctional monoterpene with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective potential [21]. Safety note: Limonene hydroperoxides are contact allergens—relevant for topical use [22].

Myrcene

Anxiolytic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic properties in preclinical models [23]. Human evidence lacking. “Couch-lock” claims are overstated [20][23].

Caryophyllene

Most interesting terpene—selective CB2 receptor agonist, directly interacting with cannabinoid system [24]. Anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective potential [24].

Pinene

Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, potential neuroprotective effects [25]. Memory enhancement claims are preclinical only [20][25].

Linalool

Stress and mood modulation in preclinical studies [25][26]. Safety: Oxidized linalool is a recognized allergen [22].

Humulene

Anti-inflammatory and potential cannabimimetic properties via CB1 and adenosine pathways (preclinical) [27].

Terpinolene

Least clinically characterized of our seven terpenes. Biological effects dominated by in silico and animal studies [28].

Bottom line on terpenes: They make our product smell like a forest after rain—piney, citrusy, with hints of pepper and lavender. They may contribute to entourage effects [20][29], but therapeutic claims should stay conservative.

Safety Considerations for Putnam County Residents

Drug Testing

• Raw THCa: Should not trigger standard THC tests (detects delta-9 metabolites)
• Decarboxylated or vaped: WILL trigger positive results—delta-8 and converted delta-9 both metabolize to detectable compounds
• Putnam County employers: Many use 5-panel or 10-panel tests. If you’re subject to testing, use only raw form or abstain.

Driving and Machinery Operation

• Raw THCa: Safe for operating tractors, combines, or driving to Greencastle
• Decarboxylated: Do NOT drive or operate machinery. Impairment risk is real and comparable to traditional cannabis

Drug Interactions

CBD can elevate liver enzymes and interact with medications metabolized by CYP450 enzymes—common for blood thinners, antidepressants, and seizure medications [1][6]. Consult your Putnam County physician if you take:

• Warfarin or other blood thinners
• Antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs)
• Anti-seizure medications
• Opioids (potential synergy and sedation)

Pregnancy and Nursing

NCCIH explicitly advises against cannabis use during pregnancy due to fetal brain development concerns [1]. Do not use our RSO if pregnant or nursing.

Mental Health Risks

High-concentration THC products are associated with increased psychosis, schizophrenia, anxiety, and depression risk [15]. Putnam County residents with personal or family history of schizophrenia should avoid activating the THCa.

Storage and Decarboxylation Caution

• Store in cool, dark place to slow THCa conversion
• Decarboxylate ONLY in well-ventilated area away from children/pets
• Use oven-safe glass; avoid plastic containers
• Keep out of reach of children—our graduated droppers can look like candy to kids

How Our Formulas Connect to the Evidence: A Promise to Putnam County

Every cannabinoid and terpene in our formulas has its evidence profile in our GENERAL KNOWLEDGE section. We hold our products to the same standards we apply to the entire field. We don’t exempt ourselves.

When we say CBD has anxiolytic potential, we cite the 2024 meta-analysis [3]. When we warn about high-THC risks, we cite the 2025 systematic review linking it to psychosis [15]. When we note CBN’s weak sleep evidence, we cite the 2021 review that found no clinical trials [16].

We do this because Putnam County deserves the same honesty we’d give a researcher at DePauw or a physician at Putnam County Hospital. This is how we honor the mission that started when Bentley got up and brought his ball to play.
