Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Las Animas County, Colorado: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis

For the ranchers in Model, the veterans in Trinidad, the healthcare workers at Mt. San Rafael Hospital, and every Las Animas County resident searching for honest answers about concentrated cannabis oil

Why We’re Reaching Out to Las Animas County

We see you, Las Animas County. We see the proud communities stretching from the historic streets of Trinidad to the quiet ranchlands near Branson. We see the families who’ve worked these lands for generations, the veterans who’ve served our country and now carry those invisible wounds back home, the medical professionals serving one of Colorado’s most geographically dispersed populations, and the everyday people struggling with pain, sleep, anxiety, and health challenges that conventional medicine hasn’t fully answered.

You’ve built lives in the shadow of the Spanish Peaks, where the Santa Fe Trail once ran and where the spirit of self-reliance runs deep. That same spirit—of taking health into your own hands when the system falls short—is what brought Rick Simpson to create his oil back in 2003. It’s what brought our founder Colin Valencia to create OilWell after watching his dog Bentley suffer. And it’s why we believe Las Animas County deserves something better than what’s currently on dispensary shelves: honest education, transparent formulas, and products engineered with medical precision rather than marketing hype.

Colorado may have legalized cannabis, but legality hasn’t guaranteed quality. Walk into any Trinidad dispensary and you’ll find products labeled “RSO” that bear little resemblance to what Rick Simpson actually made—crude extracts with unknown potency, destroyed terpenes, and no lab verification. We’re here to offer Las Animas County something different: a modern RSO formulation that honors Simpson’s accessibility principle while delivering the precision, safety, and evidence-informed design that he never had access to.

The Real Story of Rick Simpson Oil: What Las Animas County Needs to Know

Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor, a scientist, or a pharmaceutical researcher. He was a power engineer from Nova Scotia—a working-class tradesman, much like many folks in Las Animas County’s mining and ranching communities—who got hurt on the job and found himself failed by the medical system he had trusted.

In 1997, Simpson fell from scaffolding at a hospital in Moncton, suffering a head injury that left him with persistent tinnitus, dizziness, and post-concussion symptoms that his doctors couldn’t fix. The medications they prescribed either did nothing or made him worse. When he discovered cannabis provided relief and asked his physician to support this approach, the answer was no .

That dismissal—familiar to anyone in Las Animas County who’s been told “just take these pills” while your quality of life deteriorates—set Simpson on a different path. He learned about a 1974 NIH-funded study at the Medical College of Virginia that showed THC slowing tumor growth in mice (though that study was never replicated in human trials). Then in 2003, three bumps on his arm were diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma. Rather than accept conventional treatment, Simpson applied concentrated cannabis oil, covered the lesions with bandages, and claimed they disappeared in four days. No biopsy confirmation, no independent medical verification, no peer-reviewed documentation—just personal testimony that became the foundation of a global movement .

Important context: We’re sharing Simpson’s story not as medical evidence, but as historically significant personal testimony—the catalyst that launched a worldwide RSO movement. Las Animas County readers deserve to know the difference between personal experience and clinical proof, because confusing the two can have serious consequences.

The Crusade and the Protocol

After his 2003 experience, Simpson committed himself to producing oil in Maccan, Nova Scotia, and giving it away for free. He helped people with cancer, chronic pain, diabetes, infections, glaucoma, arthritis, depression, insomnia, and more—never charging a dime . His 2005 documentary Run From The Cure spread his story globally, making “RSO” the most recognized name for full-spectrum cannabis extract.

Simpson’s protocol was specific: 60 grams of oil over approximately 90 days, starting with a half-grain-of-rice dose (10-15mg) three times daily and escalating every four days until reaching 1 gram per day divided into three doses. He recommended oral administration primarily, topical application for skin issues, and acknowledged inhalation only for immediate symptom relief .

At peak dosing, patients consumed roughly 600-900mg of delta-9 THC daily—far exceeding anything studied in controlled clinical settings. The FDA-approved synthetic THC drug dronabinol, by comparison, is typically dosed at 2.5 to 20mg per day [13]. Those high doses carry real risks: severe intoxication, anxiety, panic, tachycardia, hypotension, and cannabis use disorder [1][13][14][15].

Traditional RSO was crude: single-strain indica cannabis extracted with naphtha or isopropyl alcohol, heated in a rice cooker to evaporate solvent, resulting in a tar-like, nearly black oil that was fully decarboxylated (all THCa converted to THC) and stripped of terpenes. No lab testing, no standardization, every batch different .

The RCMP raided Simpson’s property in 2005 and 2009. He was charged with cultivation, possession, and trafficking, eventually leaving Canada for Europe to continue his advocacy from abroad . He published Phoenix Tears in 2012 and maintained phoenixtears.ca as his platform .

What Simpson Got Right vs. What He Overstated

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

What he overstated: His cancer-cure claims exceeded the evidence then and still do today. The National Cancer Institute acknowledges cannabinoid anticancer research in lab and animal models but does not endorse cannabis as cancer treatment . The FDA has not approved any cannabis plant product for cancer [1]. No human clinical trial has demonstrated RSO cures cancer . Encouraging patients to use RSO instead of proven oncologic therapies carries genuine harm potential .

The Legacy: Why “RSO” Means Everything and Nothing

Today, “RSO” is used loosely across the industry. Many products labeled RSO bear little resemblance to Simpson’s original method. Simpson himself criticized commercial products, maintaining his anti-commercial ethos . Whether modern commercialization represents improvement (quality control, testing) or betrayal (profit, gatekeeping) depends on perspective.

Modern RSO has evolved substantially—deliberately different in ways that solve traditional RSO’s problems. That’s where OilWell enters the story for Las Animas County.

OilWell Cannabis: Built From Real Suffering, Engineered for Real Solutions

OilWell Cannabis was founded by Colin Valencia in Houston, Texas. But Colin’s story begins 350 miles south, in McAllen—right across the river from Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico. The McAllen-Reynosa Borderplex is one of the most economically challenged and dangerous regions along the U.S.-Mexico border. McAllen offers limited opportunities outside retail and healthcare; Reynosa is an industrial hub plagued by cartel violence. Colin learned early to hustle, taking on risky border transport work. His best friends have been killed or imprisoned. He faced every form of violence imaginable and left home at sixteen to survive .

Despite that trauma, Colin chose cannabis over darker paths. He grew up in the traditional cannabis world pre-legalization, learning the plant intimately. Later, he 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 OilWell creates .

Bentley: The Dog Who Started Everything

OilWell’s origin story isn’t about corporate strategy—it’s about a dog named Bentley. Bentley was family. When veterinarians told Colin that Bentley’s paralysis meant euthanasia was the only humane option, Colin refused. The pain meds would destroy Bentley’s organs; the choice was prolonged suffering or immediate death.

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’s cannabis experience had been recreational—getting high. He’d never explored therapeutic applications.

Desperate, Colin created CBD golden paste. Bentley got up. He walked across the room and brought Colin his ball to play. From paralyzed and facing euthanasia to fetching his ball. This wasn’t placebo—dogs don’t respond to placebo. This was cannabinoid medicine doing what pharmaceuticals could not .

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

• Neurodegeneration → CBG’s neuroprotective properties and THCa’s PPARγ agonism for brain cell protection
• Dementia → CBC’s role in neurogenesis
• Glaucoma → THC’s CB1 agonism for intraocular pressure reduction
• Crippling arthritis → Multi-pathway anti-inflammatory approaches using CBD, CBG, THCa, and beta-caryophyllene

Single cannabinoids weren’t enough. Bentley’s evolving conditions required multi-cannabinoid synergy. CBD alone couldn’t address neurodegeneration, dementia, glaucoma, and arthritis simultaneously. Pharmaceutical precision mattered—Bentley’s life depended on formula accuracy, not guesswork .

Bentley’s journey was Colin’s entry into cannabis beyond getting high. It became a mission to create real solutions for pain and suffering—for pets and people. Bentley’s story is OilWell’s foundation, driving our commitment to quality, innovation, and compassionate care .

Colin’s Personal Battle: PTSD, Benzos, and Finding Peace

Colin also knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He struggled with PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction. When he decided to break free from Xanax, he did it cold turkey—a feat notoriously difficult and dangerous—using the cannabinoid knowledge he developed keeping Bentley alive.

The Peace Gummies formula was created during midnight experiments while fighting through benzo withdrawal. Colin personally uses the vape form to manage his insomnia and severe PTSD. This isn’t theoretical knowledge. Colin lived what RSO patients live: desperation for relief, failed pharmaceuticals, the discovery that cannabinoids work when pills do not .

Media Recognition: Houston’s Voice, Las Animas County’s Validation

ABC13 KTRK Houston—Houston’s number-one news source—featured Colin and OilWell in seven comprehensive segments from 2019 to 2023. Five different reporters sought him out: Tom Abrahams, Steve Campion, Shelley Childers, Nick Natario, and KTRK staff writers. No other Houston cannabis operator matches that frequency or breadth .

September 2019: “CBD businesses booming”—Colin’s foundational quote: “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 philosophy—honest education over hype—has guided every product we’ve made .

March 2021: “Entrepreneur creates direct-to-consumer business”—Colin helped launch Jonathan Pina’s High Maintenance Edibles, showing he’s an ecosystem builder, not just a business operator. His quote: “Pain comes in a lot of different forms”—a truth every Las Animas County resident who’s worked the land or served in the military understands .

May 2021: “What is Delta-8 THC”—Steve Campion’s investigation included Colin’s iconic moment: “Maybe you want to get high”—radical honesty on mainstream TV. The segment balanced medical caution with regulatory advocacy, showing Colin’s ability to speak truth while respecting complexity .

August 2021: “Houston CBD shop giving away free products for COVID vaccine”—OilWell gave away 1,000 caviar pre-rolls (approximately $35,000 in product) to encourage vaccination. We coordinated with the city of Houston and had no political agenda—just community health. That commitment to action, not just words, defines who we are .

October 2021: “Texas ban over Delta-8″—When Texas DSHS reclassified Delta-8 as Schedule I overnight, Colin proactively removed all products before enforcement and warned other operators who were unknowingly shipping narcotics. Ethical leadership during crisis. That’s the kind of company Las Animas County can trust .

October 2022: “Biden marijuana pardon”—Colin revealed his personal marijuana conviction history. Every prior quote carries more weight when you understand he’s lived the consequences. “I would love to see people not get hurt for this anymore”—spoken from experience .

April 2023: “Marijuana industry getting creative”—Colin’s “Renaissance” framing positioned OilWell at the frontier. From 2019 CBD explainer to 2023 industry authority, the media record tracks our growth and credibility .

These features can’t be purchased—they’re earned through expertise, honesty, and community commitment. For Las Animas County residents evaluating cannabis companies, this third-party validation from a major-market ABC affiliate is a trust signal that transcends marketing claims.

The Science: Why Our Formula Works

Our Seven-Cannabinoid Approach

Traditional RSO uses a single cannabinoid (THC) from whatever strain was available. Our formula intentionally includes seven cannabinoids because science suggests cannabinoid diversity may offer broader therapeutic potential through the entourage effect—though robust clinical proof of whole-formula synergy remains limited [20][29].

CBD (4,500mg): The most evidence-developed non-intoxicating cannabinoid in our formula. Strongest human evidence for certain rare epilepsies, with emerging but limited data for anxiety [3], pain [4], and sleep [5]. Safety concerns include possible liver enzyme elevation and drug interactions [1][6]. We’re transparent: CBD is promising but not a cure-all.

CBG (3,000mg): Mostly review-level and preclinical evidence [7][8]. CBG is the biosynthetic precursor to other cannabinoids with unique pharmacology suggesting possible relevance to neurologic disorders and inflammatory bowel disease, but human evidence remains sparse. We include it because Bentley’s neurodegeneration required exploring beyond CBD, but we won’t overstate what the science shows [7][8].

Delta-8 THC (6,000mg): Pharmacologically relevant and psychoactive, though less potent than delta-9 THC [9]. Public health literature notes it’s often entangled with manufacturing quality concerns [10][11]. We include it deliberately, not as a loophole, because it has distinct properties worth exploring. But we acknowledge: delta-8 is not trivial, and its safety profile is less characterized than delta-9 [9]-[11].

THCa (1,500mg): The acidic precursor to THC. Non-psychoactive in raw form but converts to THC when heated [12]. Preclinical literature suggests anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective potential, but human evidence is limited. The crucial point: THCa’s interpretation depends entirely on whether you heat it—a key to patient-controlled potency [12].

Delta-9 THC (90mg): The most established psychoactive cannabinoid. FDA acknowledges relevance for chemotherapy nausea and HIV/AIDS appetite loss, but safety concerns include anxiety, panic, tachycardia, and cannabis use disorder at high doses [1][13]-[15]. Our formula contains only 90mg total—far below Simpson’s 600-900mg daily peak—because we prioritize safety alongside efficacy.

CBN (750mg): Marketed for sleep, but clinical evidence is weak [16][17]. No trials using validated sleep measures support strong sleep claims. We include 750mg because emerging research suggests potential, but we’re honest: marketing has outpaced data [16][17].

CBC (750mg): Scientifically credible but clinically immature [18][19]. Preclinical work shows anti-inflammatory and neurobiological relevance, but over-the-counter products are already sold despite little efficacy or safety data. We’re exploring the frontier, not claiming proof [18][19].

Our Seven-Terpene Profile

Traditional RSO destroyed terpenes through solvent and heat. We preserve live terpenes at 5% because preclinical literature suggests plausible bioactivity, even if robust human proof remains limited [20][29].

Limonene (citrus-bright): Multifunctional monoterpene with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, but most evidence is non-human [21]. Oxidation products can be contact allergens [22].

Myrcene: Often claimed as sedating, but human evidence is lacking [20][23]. Preclinical anxiolytic and anti-inflammatory signals exist, but “couch-lock” claims exceed current data.

Caryophyllene (pepper/spice): Selective CB2 agonist—unusual and pharmacologically significant [24]. Strongest candidate for cannabinoid-system relevance among terpenes, but still preclinical.

Pinene (forest-fresh): Preclinical neuroprotective signals, but human memory and cognition claims remain exploratory [20][25].

Linalool (floral, lavender): Discussed for stress and mood, but limited human trials [20][22][25][26]. Oxidized forms are allergens [22].

Humulene: Preclinical anti-inflammatory and possible cannabimimetic properties via CB1 and adenosine pathways [27]. Highly interesting, early-stage.

Terpinolene (piney, fruity): Least clinically characterized [20][28]. Evidence dominated by in silico and animal studies.

Evidence Standards We Live By

Rick Simpson operated pre-legalization with anecdotal evidence and no lab testing. We operate with access to peer-reviewed literature and commit to distinguishing what’s well-supported from what’s emerging or overstated .

Every claim in this document is tied to specific citations [1]-[29]. We apply the same standards to ourselves that we apply to the broader field. When we say the evidence is limited, we mean it—for our own products and everyone else’s.

What Makes OilWell RSO Different: A Las Animas County Perspective

Las Animas County has legal dispensaries. You can walk into a shop in Trinidad and buy something labeled “RSO.” So why consider OilWell?

The Traditional RSO Problem

Traditional RSO—what Simpson actually made—was crude, unstandardized, and carried real risks:

• Single-strain, THC-dominant: 60-90% delta-9 THC, no ratio control
• No terpenes: Solvent + heat destroyed them
• Toxic solvents: Naphtha (petroleum-based) or isopropyl alcohol, not food-grade
• No testing: No COAs, no potency verification, no contaminant screening
• Residual solvent risk: Naphtha may contain benzene, toluene, carcinogens
• Extreme dosing: 600-900mg delta-9 THC daily, far beyond studied ranges [15]
• Psychoactive only: No option for non-psychoactive use

The Modern OilWell Solution

Our formulated RSO solves these problems while maintaining Simpson’s accessibility principle:

The THCa Advantage for Las Animas County

Here’s where our innovation truly serves Las Animas County residents. Our sublingual oil contains 1,500mg THCa—the acidic, non-psychoactive precursor to THC. At room temperature, it stays non-psychoactive. But heat it at 260°F for 45-60 minutes, and it converts to approximately 1,315mg delta-9 THC. Combined with the existing 90mg delta-9, that’s ~1,405mg total THC—full psychoactive potency comparable to traditional illegal RSO.

For Las Animas County ranchers who need daytime function: Use it raw. Get anti-inflammatory benefits from THCa’s COX-2 inhibition and neuroprotective potential via PPARγ agonism without impairment [12]. Work your land, drive your truck, operate equipment safely.

For Las Animas County veterans battling PTSD at night: Decarboxylate it. Activate the THC for full-spectrum psychoactive relief that addresses severe symptoms. The choice is yours, not ours.

For fast relief during a pain flare: Use the vape cartridge. Inhalation converts THCa instantly at 400-450°F, delivering breakthrough relief in 1-2 minutes.

This is the most significant legal cannabis access innovation in history—backed by actual chemistry, not loopholes. You purchase a Farm Bill-compliant product in Las Animas County, and you control its activation in the privacy of your home.

How Las Animas County Residents Can Use Our RSO

Condition-Specific Context (With Evidence)

Important: These are informed contexts based on research, not medical prescriptions. Our products are not FDA-approved to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Consult your healthcare provider before use. Do not operate vehicles or machinery while under the influence of psychoactive cannabinoids.

Chronic Pain (Arthritis, Neuropathy, Old Injuries)

Common in Las Animas County’s ranching and agricultural communities

• Daytime: 0.3-0.5mL raw sublingual. Provides anti-inflammatory benefits without impairment. THCa inhibits COX-2 [12]; caryophyllene activates CB2 receptors [24]; CBD modulates pain pathways [4].
• Nighttime: 0.5-1.0mL decarboxylated sublingual. Activates THC for stronger relief plus CBN for sleep architecture [16][17].
• Breakthrough pain: 2-3 vape puffs for 1-2 minute onset relief.
• Evidence: Delta-9 THC shows short-term pain benefit but increases dizziness and discontinuation [13]. CBD pain literature is promising but heterogeneous [4].

Sleep Support

For Las Animas County residents struggling with insomnia—a common issue in rural areas with limited mental health resources

• Before bed: 1.0-2.0mL sublingual.
  • At 2.0mL: delivers 50mg CBN—the dosage level investigated in 2024 sleep literature [16][17].
  • At 1.0mL: delivers 25mg CBN, above the 20mg threshold associated with reduced sleep disturbance [17].
• Evidence: CBN sleep evidence remains weak, with no strong validated-trial base [16][17]. Cannabis sleep literature overall lacks methodologically strong studies [17].

Anxiety and Stress

For Las Animas County veterans, healthcare workers, and anyone navigating life’s pressures

• Daytime functional relief: 0.3mL raw sublingual. CBD [3] and CBG [7][8] address anxiety pathways without psychoactive impairment. Limonene may provide mood support [20][22].
• Nighttime: 1.0mL sublingual for full cannabinoid profile including CBN.

Chemotherapy-Related Nausea and Appetite Support

For Las Animas County cancer patients traveling to Pueblo or Denver for treatment

• Pre-chemo: 0.5-1.0mL sublingual 1 hour before treatment. Delta-8 THC has antiemetic evidence [9]; delta-9 THC helps nausea [1][13].
• Acute breakthrough nausea: 2-3 vape puffs for immediate relief.
• Post-chemo: 0.5mL sublingual every 6 hours as needed.
• Sleep during treatment: 1.0-2.0mL sublingual before bed delivers 25-50mg CBN.

General Titration Principle: Start Low, Go Slow

Begin with 0.25-0.5mL sublingual. Assess effects over 2-3 hours before increasing. Individual responses vary based on body weight, metabolism, tolerance, concurrent medications (especially important for Las Animas County residents taking prescriptions for chronic conditions), and other factors.

When to Use Each Format in Las Animas County

Las Animas County and Colorado Legal Framework: What You Need to Know

Colorado has legalized both medical and recreational cannabis. You can walk into a Trinidad dispensary and buy products. So why choose OilWell’s Farm Bill-compliant RSO?

The THCa Legal Distinction

Our products contain less than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight at point of sale—making them hemp-derived and federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill. This matters for Las Animas County residents because:

1. No medical card needed: Access doesn’t require qualifying conditions or doctor approval.
2. Interstate shipping: We can ship to Las Animas County from Texas legally.
3. Patient-controlled activation: You purchase a non-psychoactive product (legal) and decarboxylate it at home (your private choice).
4. Discretion: Products ship with full documentation, COAs, and receipts for complete transparency.

Important legal notice: THCa converts to delta-9 THC when heated. Las Animas County customers are responsible for understanding and complying with local laws regarding cannabinoid products. Colorado law allows home cannabis processing, but you accept all legal responsibility for activation decisions. We provide full documentation with every shipment.

Colorado vs. Texas: Why Our Model Works for Las Animas County

We also published Bentley’s original CBD golden paste recipe for pets on our About Us page—free for any Las Animas County pet owner facing a similar crisis.

Frequently Asked Questions from Las Animas County Residents

Q: Is this legal to ship to my ranch in Las Animas County?
A: Yes. Our products are hemp-derived with less than 0.3% delta-9 THC, making them federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill. Colorado law permits hemp product possession and home processing.

Q: Will this show up on a drug test?
A: Raw THCa will not trigger standard THC tests. However, if you decarboxylate (activate) the product, it becomes THC and will cause a positive result. Delta-8 THC may also trigger tests. If you’re subject to testing for work (including DOT regulations common in Las Animas County’s agricultural and transportation sectors), use the raw form only.

Q: How is this different from what I can buy at a Trinidad dispensary?
A: Dispensary RSO is typically state-regulated cannabis extract—often THC-only, with variable quality. Our product is federally legal hemp-derived, multi-cannabinoid, lab-tested, and offers patient-controlled potency. No medical card needed, ships directly to you.

Q: Can I make this myself cheaper?
A: Absolutely. That’s why we publish the formula. If you can source individual cannabinoid distillates and have the equipment for precise blending, you can replicate our product. Our value is in the labor, precision, testing, and convenience.

Q: What if I’m on other medications?
A: CBD can interact with many drugs, affecting liver enzymes [6]. Always consult your healthcare provider before adding cannabinoids, especially if you take prescriptions for chronic conditions common in Las Animas County (pain, cardiovascular, diabetes, etc.).

Q: What’s the best option for chronic pain from years of ranch work?
A: Start with 0.3-0.5mL raw sublingual daily for anti-inflammatory benefits without impairment. Add vape for breakthrough pain. Consider decarbing 0.5mL for nighttime relief. Adjust based on your specific pain patterns and tolerance.

Q: My veteran spouse has PTSD—will this help?
A: Colin developed the Peace Gummies formula from his own PTSD and benzo withdrawal experience. The RSO vape provides fast relief for acute episodes; the sublingual oil (especially decarbed) helps with sleep and sustained symptom management. The evidence for cannabinoids in PTSD is emerging but not definitive—approach with realistic expectations and medical guidance.

Our Commitment to Las Animas County

We didn’t start OilWell to follow trends. We started it because Bentley got up and walked. Because Colin survived PTSD and benzo addiction when pharmaceuticals failed. Because we believe people in Las Animas County—the ranchers, the veterans, the healthcare workers, the families—deserve honest options when conventional medicine falls short.
