## **What Is Rick Simpson Oil (RSO)?**
Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) is a **highly concentrated cannabis extract** originally developed by **Rick Simpson**, a Canadian engineer who claimed it helped treat his skin cancer in the early 2000s. Unlike typical CBD oils or THC tinctures, RSO is **full-spectrum**, meaning it contains **multiple cannabinoids, terpenes, and other plant compounds**—not just one isolated compound.
### **Key Characteristics of Traditional RSO:**
✅ **Highly concentrated** (often 60-90% THC)
✅ **Crude extraction method** (using solvents like naphtha or isopropyl alcohol)
✅ **No lab testing or standardization** (every batch was different)
✅ **Fully decarboxylated** (all THCa converted to THC, making it psychoactive)
✅ **No terpenes** (destroyed during extraction)
✅ **No minor cannabinoids** (only THC, with small amounts of CBD if present in the strain)
### **Why RSO Became Popular in Scott County (And Beyond)**
RSO gained a cult following because:
1. **It was one of the first widely available concentrated cannabis oils**—before legal dispensaries existed.
2. **Rick Simpson gave it away for free** to cancer patients and others in need, creating a grassroots movement.
3. **The documentary *Run From The Cure*** (2005) spread his story globally, making RSO a household name in cannabis communities.
4. **It offered hope when conventional medicine failed**—especially for chronic pain, cancer-related symptoms, and neurological conditions.
### **The Problem with Traditional RSO**
While RSO was groundbreaking, it had **serious limitations** that modern science has since addressed:
❌ **No lab testing** → Risk of **residual solvents, pesticides, or heavy metals**
❌ **No standardization** → Every batch had **different potency and effects**
❌ **Extremely high THC doses** → Led to **intoxication, anxiety, and tolerance issues**
❌ **No terpenes** → Missed the **entourage effect** (where cannabinoids + terpenes work better together)
❌ **No minor cannabinoids** → Limited therapeutic potential (THC alone isn’t always enough)
### **How OilWell’s RSO Solves These Problems**
At OilWell, we took the **best of Rick Simpson’s vision**—**full-spectrum, high-potency cannabis oil**—and **improved it with modern science, safety, and precision**.
| **Factor** | **Traditional RSO** | **OilWell RSO** |
|————|———————|—————-|
| **Extraction Method** | Naphtha/isopropyl alcohol (toxic solvents) | **Solvent-free** (food-grade ethanol/CO₂) |
| **Cannabinoid Profile** | THC-dominant (60-90%) | **7 cannabinoids** (CBD, CBG, Delta-8, THCa, Delta-9, CBN, CBC) |
| **Terpenes** | None (destroyed) | **5% live terpenes** (7 terpenes for flavor & effects) |
| **Standardization** | None (every batch different) | **Lab-tested** (553mg/mL, same every time) |
| **Psychoactivity** | Always psychoactive (decarboxylated) | **Patient-controlled** (THCa stays raw unless you heat it) |
| **Lab Testing** | None | **Full panel** (pesticides, heavy metals, solvents, potency) |
| **Accessibility** | Illegal (black market) | **Legal under Farm Bill** (ships to Scott County) |
**Bottom line:** OilWell’s RSO is **safer, more precise, and more effective** than traditional RSO—while still delivering the **full-spectrum benefits** that made RSO famous.

Our RSO isn’t just **stronger**—it’s **smarter**. We’ve carefully selected **7 cannabinoids and 7 terpenes** based on **peer-reviewed research** to create a **balanced, therapeutic formula** that works for **pain, sleep, anxiety, inflammation, and more**.
### **The 7 Cannabinoids in OilWell RSO (And What They Do)**
| **Cannabinoid** | **Amount (30mL Bottle)** | **Key Benefits (Backed by Science)** | **Best For** |
|—————-|————————-|————————————–|————-|
| **CBD** | 4,500mg | – Reduces anxiety & inflammation [3][4]
– May help with seizures (FDA-approved for epilepsy) [2]
– Balances THC’s psychoactive effects | Anxiety, pain, inflammation, seizures |
| **CBG** | 3,000mg | – Neuroprotective [7]
– Anti-inflammatory (may help IBS, Crohn’s) [7]
– Antibacterial (including MRSA) [7] | Neurodegeneration, gut health, infections |
| **Delta-8 THC** | 6,000mg | – Milder psychoactive effects than Delta-9 [9]
– Anti-nausea (used for chemo patients) [9]
– Appetite stimulation | Nausea, appetite loss, mild pain relief |
| **THCa** | 1,500mg | – **Non-psychoactive** (unless heated)
– Anti-inflammatory (COX-2 inhibitor) [12]
– Neuroprotective (PPARγ agonist) [12] | Daytime pain/inflammation, neurodegeneration |
| **Delta-9 THC** | 90mg | – Pain relief [13]
– Anti-nausea (used in chemo) [1]
– Appetite stimulation (used in HIV/AIDS) [1] | Severe pain, nausea, appetite loss |
| **CBN** | 750mg | – Sedative effects (may improve sleep) [16][17]
– Anti-inflammatory [16] | Insomnia, nighttime pain |
| **CBC** | 750mg | – Anti-inflammatory [18]
– Neuroprotective (may help brain health) [18]
– May reduce acne [18] | Inflammation, skin conditions, neurodegeneration |
### **The 7 Terpenes in OilWell RSO (And Why They Matter)**
Terpenes are **aromatic compounds** found in cannabis (and many other plants) that **enhance effects, improve flavor, and contribute to the entourage effect**. Traditional RSO had **no terpenes**—we’ve added **5% live terpenes** for a **smoother, more effective experience**.
| **Terpene** | **Flavor/Aroma** | **Key Benefits (Backed by Science)** | **Best For** |
|————|——————|————————————–|————-|
| **Limonene** | Citrus (lemon, orange) | – Mood-enhancing [21]
– May reduce anxiety [21]
– Anti-inflammatory | Stress, anxiety, depression |
| **Myrcene** | Earthy, musky (mango, hops) | – Sedative effects [23]
– Anti-inflammatory [23] | Sleep, muscle relaxation |
| **Caryophyllene** | Spicy, peppery | – **CB2 agonist** (anti-inflammatory) [24]
– May help anxiety & pain [24] | Pain, inflammation, anxiety |
| **Pinene** | Pine, fresh forest | – May improve memory & alertness [25]
– Anti-inflammatory [25] | Brain fog, asthma, pain |
| **Linalool** | Floral (lavender) | – Calming, anti-anxiety [26]
– May help with sleep [26] | Insomnia, stress, PTSD |
| **Humulene** | Earthy, woody (hops) | – Anti-inflammatory [27]
– Appetite suppressant [27] | Inflammation, weight management |
| **Terpinolene** | Piney, herbal (sage, rosemary) | – Antioxidant [28]
– May have sedative effects [28] | Sleep, relaxation |
### **The Entourage Effect: Why Full-Spectrum RSO Works Better**
The **entourage effect** is the idea that **cannabinoids and terpenes work better together** than in isolation. For example:
– **CBD + THC** → CBD reduces THC’s psychoactive effects while enhancing pain relief [20].
– **CBG + CBD** → May work synergistically for inflammation [7].
– **Myrcene + THC** → Myrcene may enhance THC’s sedative effects [23].
– **Caryophyllene + CBD** → Caryophyllene (a CB2 agonist) may boost CBD’s anti-inflammatory effects [24].
**Traditional RSO missed this**—OilWell’s formula **maximizes it**.

## **How to Use RSO for Pain, Sleep, Anxiety & More (Scott County Guide)**
RSO is **not a one-size-fits-all** product. The right **dose, format, and timing** depend on your **goals, tolerance, and condition**. Below are **evidence-based guidelines** for common uses—**tailored for Scott County residents**.
### **1. RSO for Chronic Pain (Arthritis, Neuropathy, Fibromyalgia)**

## **How to Decarb RSO (For Psychoactive Effects)**
OilWell’s RSO contains **1,500mg THCa**, which is **non-psychoactive until heated**. If you want **stronger effects** (for pain, sleep, or relaxation), you can **decarboxylate (decarb) the oil at home**.
### **Step-by-Step Decarboxylation Guide**
1. **Preheat oven to 260°F (125°C).**
2. **Transfer the desired amount of oil** to an **oven-safe glass container** (e.g., a small mason jar).
3. **Cover loosely with foil** (to allow CO₂ to escape).
4. **Bake for 45-60 minutes.**
5. **Let cool, then use as normal.**
**What happens?**
– **1,500mg THCa → ~1,315mg Delta-9 THC** (plus the existing 90mg Delta-9 = **~1,405mg total THC**).
– **Effects become stronger** (pain relief, sedation, appetite stimulation).
**Scott County Tip:**
– If you’re **new to THC**, start with **0.25mL decarbed oil** and wait 2 hours before increasing.
– **Never decarb the entire bottle at once**—only what you plan to use.
—
## **Is RSO Legal in Kansas? (Scott County-Specific Guide)**
### **Federal Law (2018 Farm Bill)**
✅ **OilWell RSO is legal under federal law** because:
– It contains **<0.3% Delta-9 THC** (90mg in the entire 30mL bottle).
- All cannabinoids are **hemp-derived**.
- **THCa is legal** (it’s not Delta-9 THC until heated).
### **Kansas State Law**
✅ **Hemp-derived cannabinoids are legal in Kansas** (SB 263, 2018).
⚠️ **But there are restrictions:**
- **Delta-8 THC is legal** (Kansas AG opinion, 2021).
- **Delta-9 THC is illegal** (except for **medical CBD oil with <5% THC**, but this requires a **doctor’s recommendation**).
- **Smokable hemp is illegal** (but our **vape cartridge is not "smokable hemp"**—it’s a processed extract).
**What does this mean for Scott County?**
✅ **You can legally buy and possess OilWell RSO** (as long as you don’t decarb it before purchase).
✅ **You can decarb it at home** (since the law focuses on **Delta-9 THC at point of sale**).
⚠️ **If you travel with decarbed RSO**, be aware that **Delta-9 THC is illegal in Kansas** (except for medical use).
**Scott County Tip:**
- **Keep your receipt and COA** (Certificate of Analysis) when ordering.
- **If you’re drug-tested for work**, raw THCa **should not** trigger a positive test—but **Delta-8 and decarbed THCa will**.
