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

Out here in Scott County, Kansas—where the wheat fields stretch to the horizon and a handshake still means something—we understand that when you’re dealing with chronic pain, cancer treatment side effects, or PTSD that keeps you up at night, you need solutions that are honest, accessible, and actually work. You don’t need snake oil. You don’t need false hope. You need real information about real cannabinoids, made by real people who’ve walked through the fire themselves.

That’s why we at OilWell Cannabis—founded right here in Houston, Texas, but serving families across rural Kansas including right here in Scott County—built the most transparent, evidence-informed RSO formula available anywhere. Whether you’re in Scott City, working the land near Lake Scott State Park, or caring for a loved one in one of our tight-knit communities, this guide is for you.

What Rick Simpson Oil Means for Scott County

Folks in Scott County are practical. You want to know the history, but you also want to know what matters today. Rick Simpson was a Canadian power engineer—not a doctor—who started making concentrated cannabis oil after conventional medicine failed him. In 2003, he claimed cannabis oil removed his skin cancer. No doctor verified it. No biopsy confirmed it. But his story sparked a movement because it spoke to a universal truth: when the medical system gives up on you, you start looking for alternatives.

That resonates out here. We know many of you have driven the two hours to Wichita or even further to Denver, searching for answers. You’ve sat in waiting rooms at Wesley Medical Center or Stormont Vail, only to be told there’s nothing more that can be done. Maybe you’ve lost friends to the opioid crisis that’s hit rural Kansas hard. Maybe you’re a veteran from Scott County who served at Fort Riley or Fort Carson, came home with PTSD, and found that the pills the VA prescribed made things worse.

Rick Simpson gave his oil away for free—a principle we honor by publishing our exact formula so you can make it yourself if you need to. But he also made claims that went far beyond what the evidence shows. That’s where we diverge. We’re not here to tell you RSO cures cancer. We’re here to tell you exactly what the science says, what our formula contains, and how it might help—so you can make an informed decision for yourself or your family.

Traditional RSO vs. What We Make for Kansas

The original RSO was crude—made with naphtha lighter fluid in a rice cooker, thick as tar, black as night, and completely unstandardized. Every batch was different. Nobody tested it for pesticides or heavy metals. The terpenes were destroyed by heat. And it delivered 600-900mg of delta-9 THC per day—a dose that would leave most Kansans unable to function, let alone drive a combine or work a shift at the co-op.

Our formula is different by design:

This isn’t about dismissing Rick Simpson—he got a lot right by bringing cannabinoids into the light. It’s about doing what he couldn’t: making a standardized, safe, legal product that Kansans can actually get without breaking the law.

How We Got Here: Bentley’s Story

Everything we make traces back to a dog named Bentley. Colin Valencia, our founder, grew up in McAllen, Texas—one of the poorest, most dangerous border towns in America. He lost friends to violence, faced a marijuana conviction himself, and learned cannabis inside and out before legalization.

When Bentley—his best friend—became paralyzed and vets recommended euthanasia, Colin refused. A rescue worker asked: “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and you’ve never heard of CBD?” That question changed everything.

Colin created a CBD golden paste. Bentley got up. Walked. Brought his ball to play. Dogs don’t respond to placebo. That was cannabinoid medicine working when pharmaceuticals failed.

Bentley lived ten more years. During that decade, Colin developed formulas for every age-related condition: CBG for neuroprotection, THCa for inflammation, CBC for neurogenesis, beta-caryophyllene for pain. When Colin himself faced PTSD and Xanax addiction after leaving the border life behind, he used those same formulas to quit benzos cold turkey. The Peace Gummies we sell? Born from Colin’s midnight experiments fighting withdrawal.

That’s the difference. We’re not a corporation. We’re people who’ve been where you are—desperate for relief, failed by the system, searching for something real. And we built the company we wish had existed when we needed it most.

Kansas Legal Framework: What You Need to Know

We know legal questions keep folks in Scott County up at night. Here’s the straight truth:

Federal Law (2018 Farm Bill): Hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC are legal nationwide. Our product has only 90mg delta-9 THC in the entire bottle—well under the limit.

Kansas State Law: Kansas follows the Farm Bill. Hemp-derived cannabinoids are legal. Kansas has not legalized medical or recreational marijuana, which means traditional marijuana-derived RSO remains illegal in Scott County. But our hemp-derived formula? Completely legal to purchase, possess, and use.

THCa is Legal at Point of Sale: THCa is the acidic precursor to THC. It’s not psychoactive until heated. This legal distinction is everything—it means you can legally buy, have shipped to your Scott County address, and possess a product that contains 1,500mg of THCa. What you do with it is your choice.

Customer Responsibility: If you choose to decarboxylate (heat) the oil, you’re converting THCa to delta-9 THC. That’s legal under federal law because you’re starting with a legal hemp product, but you should understand your local jurisdiction’s stance. We ship with full COAs, lab reports, and receipts—documentation that proves compliance at the time of sale.

Drug Testing: If you use the raw oil, THCa won’t trigger a standard drug test. If you decarboxylate or use the vape, you will test positive for THC. Be honest with your employer. Many Scott County residents work in safety-sensitive jobs—know your workplace policies.

Age Requirement: 21+ to purchase. We verify age at checkout.

Three Ways to Use It: You Control the Experience

Option 2: Fully Activated (Home Decarb)

Condition-Specific Guidance for Kansas Residents

Why ABC13 Houston Featured Us Seven Times

FAQs from Kansas Customers

Q: Is this legal in Scott County, Kansas?
A: Yes. Our product is hemp-derived, contains less than 0.3% delta-9 THC, and complies with the 2018 Farm Bill. Kansas follows federal hemp law.

Q: Will this show up on a drug test?
A: If you use the raw oil (no heat), THCa typically doesn’t trigger standard THC tests. If you decarboxylate or use the vape, you will test positive for THC. Always inform your employer.

Q: Can I use this while working on my farm?
A: The raw, non-decarboxylated oil causes zero impairment. Many of our agricultural customers in western Kansas use it during the day for pain and inflammation, then decarb a dose at night for sleep.

Q: How is this different from CBD oil I can buy in Garden City?

Q: Do I need a medical marijuana card?
A: Kansas doesn’t have a medical marijuana program, so there’s no card to get. You just need to be 21+.

Q: How fast do you ship to Scott County?

The Bottom Line for Scott County

You live in one of the most beautiful, hardest-working counties in Kansas. You deserve options that match your values: honest, legal, safe, and effective. You deserve to know exactly what you’re putting in your body. You deserve to control whether you’re impaired or clear-headed. You deserve a company that publishes its formula instead of hiding behind “proprietary blends.”

We can’t solve every problem. RSO is not a cancer cure—don’t let anyone tell you it is. But for chronic pain that makes it hard to get through a day in the fields, for chemo nausea that has you driving to Wichita for treatment, for PTSD that keeps you from sleeping in your own home, for the anxiety of watching commodity prices and weather forecasts—this formula offers something real.

Colin’s promise, from that first ABC13 interview in 2019, still stands: “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’s what we’re offering Scott County: the best possible version, fully transparent, legally shipped to your door, with the education to make an informed choice.
