Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Michigan: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis

For Michiganders Seeking Honest Answers About RSO, Cancer Support, Chronic Pain, and Sleep

If you’re reading this from Detroit, Grand Rapids, Ann Arbor, or anywhere across the Great Lakes State, you’re likely facing one of three realities: either you or someone you love is battling cancer, living with chronic pain that won’t quit, or wrestling with sleepless nights that leave you exhausted before the Michigan winter even begins. Maybe you’ve heard whispers about Rick Simpson Oil in Michigan cannabis circles, seen “RSO” on dispensary shelves in Lansing or Flint, or stumbled across desperate online forums where people claim cannabis oil cured their cancer. We understand that search — we’ve lived it.

OilWell Cannabis is a Houston-based company built from the same blue-collar grit that defines Michigan’s manufacturing heritage. We don’t sell magic. We don’t promise miracles. What we offer is something no Michigan dispensary can match: the most transparent, research-backed, and patient-controlled RSO formula available today — legally shipped to your door across Michigan, from the Upper Peninsula to the Ohio border.

Who Was Rick Simpson? Understanding the Origin for Michigan Readers

Rick Simpson was born in 1949 in Amherst, Nova Scotia — a small Canadian town not unlike Michigan’s own industrial communities where hard work and hardship walk hand in hand. He wasn’t a doctor, scientist, or medical researcher. He was a power engineer and maintenance worker, a tradesman whose body was broken by a workplace scaffolding fall in 1997. After the accident, he suffered tinnitus, dizziness, and post-concussion symptoms that Michigan’s own workers — from auto plant veterans in Detroit to construction crews building new developments in Grand Rapids — know all too well. The medications prescribed made things worse. When Simpson asked his doctor about cannabis, the answer was no.

Sound familiar? We hear from Michiganders every week who’ve been dismissed by physicians when asking about cannabis alternatives. Michigan’s medical community has come a long way since we legalized medical cannabis in 2008 and recreational in 2018, but institutional skepticism still runs deep in many corners of the state.

Simpson’s curiosity was sparked by a 1974 NIH-funded study at the Medical College of Virginia, where THC reportedly slowed tumor growth in mice. That study was never replicated in humans, but it was enough to set Simpson on a path that would change cannabis history.

The 2003 Skin Cancer Story That Started It All

In 2003, Simpson noticed three bumps on his arm. A doctor diagnosed basal cell carcinoma. Instead of conventional treatment, Simpson applied concentrated cannabis oil directly to the lesions, covered them with bandages, and waited. By his account, they disappeared in four days. Important context: This was his personal testimony, never verified by biopsy or clinical documentation. But historically, it was the spark that lit a global movement.

We tell you this because Michigan’s cancer patients deserve honesty. At the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center in Ann Arbor, at Henry Ford Health System in Detroit, or at any oncology practice across the state, doctors are facing patients who’ve seen Run From The Cure — Simpson’s 2005 documentary that spread RSO globally — and are asking, “Should I try this instead of chemo?”

Our answer, grounded in evidence: RSO is not a proven cancer cure. The National Cancer Institute acknowledges cannabinoid anticancer research exists but does not endorse cannabis as cancer treatment. No FDA-approved cannabis plant product cures cancer. Period. What Simpson got right was drawing attention to cannabinoids as serious medicine. What he overstated was calling it a cure. Michigan residents deserve that distinction.

Traditional RSO vs. Modern Formulated RSO: Why Michigan’s Market Needed an Upgrade

When Simpson started giving oil away for free in Maccan, Nova Scotia, he was operating in a pre-legalization, pre-testing era. The oil he made — now called “traditional RSO” — was thick, black, tar-like, extracted with naphtha (petroleum solvent) or isopropyl alcohol, and completely unstandardized. Every batch was different. No lab testing. No terpenes left after the high-heat process. No safety guarantees.

In Michigan, where the legal cannabis market is mature and consumers are educated, that model doesn’t fly. Michigan’s recreational cannabis law (MRTMA) requires rigorous testing for pesticides, heavy metals, and residual solvents. Consumers in Detroit’s dispensaries, Ann Arbor’s cannabis shops, and Traverse City’s provisioning centers expect Certificates of Analysis (COAs). They want to know exactly what’s in their medicine.

Here’s how OilWell’s modern RSO formula directly addresses the flaws of traditional RSO:

For Michigan’s medical patients, this precision matters. Whether you’re a cancer patient at Spectrum Health in Grand Rapids managing chemo nausea, a veteran in Detroit using cannabis for PTSD, or a chronic pain sufferer in Flint looking for alternatives to opioids, you need consistent, tested medicine — not homemade oil made with lighter fluid.

Why OilWell’s Formulas Diverge from Traditional RSO: A Michigan Perspective

Our divergence from traditional RSO isn’t random — it’s deliberate, evidence-motivated, and designed for modern Michigan cannabis users who demand more than crude oil.

1. Multi-Cannabinoid Approach for Michigan’s Complex Patients

Traditional RSO was one strain, one cannabinoid dominance. But Michigan patients aren’t one-dimensional. A cancer patient in Ann Arbor dealing with chemo nausea and anxiety and insomnia needs more than just THC. Our formula includes:

• 4,500mg CBD — for anxiolytic and anti-inflammatory support
• 3,000mg CBG — neuroprotective properties for brain health
• 6,000mg Delta-8 THC — antiemetic effects and pain relief with potentially less anxiety than delta-9
• 1,500mg THCa — non-psychoactive anti-inflammatory power
• 90mg Delta-9 THC — just enough to stay legal, with the option to activate more at home
• 750mg CBN — for sleep architecture
• 750mg CBC — for neurogenesis and mood support

The entourage-effect literature suggests cannabinoids work better together, even though human clinical proof of whole-formula synergy remains limited. For Michigan’s diverse patient population facing multiple conditions simultaneously, this multi-pathway approach makes practical sense.

2. Terpene Preservation for Michigan’s Sophisticated Consumers

Michigan’s cannabis market is one of the most mature in the Midwest. Consumers in Detroit’s dispensaries and Ann Arbor’s shops already ask about terpene profiles. Traditional RSO had none — they’d all been boiled off. We preserve live terpenes at 5%:

• Limonene (citrus-bright) — mood elevation
• Myrcene — relaxation and sedation potential
• Caryophyllene (β-caryophyllene) — the only terpene that directly activates CB2 receptors for anti-inflammatory effects
• Pinene (forest-fresh) — potential memory and alertness support
• Linalool (lavender-floral) — calming properties
• Humulene — appetite suppression and anti-inflammatory effects
• Terpinolene — complex piney-fruity notes with antioxidant potential

For Michiganders who understand that cannabis is about more than just THC percentages, this terpene profile delivers a richer, more nuanced experience.

3. THCa as a Separate Ingredient: Michigan’s Legal Advantage

Here’s where Michigan law meets innovation. Our sublingual oil contains 1,500mg of THCa — the acidic, non-psychoactive precursor to THC. Under Michigan law and the federal Farm Bill, THCa is legal because it’s not delta-9 THC.

You control the conversion:

• Raw (no heat): All THCa stays non-psychoactive. Perfect for Michigan residents who work in manufacturing in Detroit, drive trucks through Grand Rapids, or need daytime relief without impairment.
• Fully activated: Heat at 260°F for 45-60 minutes, and 1,500mg THCa converts to ~1,315mg delta-9 THC. Combined with the existing 90mg, you get ~1,405mg total delta-9 THC — full psychoactive potency comparable to traditional RSO, legally activated in your Michigan kitchen.
• Vape format: Every puff at 400-450°F instantly decarboxylates THCa to THC for immediate relief.

This patient-controlled potency is the modern evolution of Rick Simpson’s principle that patients should control their medicine. We put that control in your hands through chemistry, not just philosophy.

4. Reduced Delta-9 Dominance for Michigan’s Safety-Conscious Market

Traditional RSO delivered 600-900mg of delta-9 THC daily at peak dosing. That’s far beyond anything studied in controlled trials and carries real risks: severe intoxication, anxiety, panic, tachycardia, and cannabis use disorder.

Our formula contains only 90mg delta-9 THC total in the entire bottle. We achieve therapeutic potential through the cannabinoid ensemble rather than THC overdose. For Michigan’s healthcare providers at Beaumont Health, University of Michigan Medicine, or Trinity Health, this lower-delta-9 approach aligns better with modern cannabinoid safety profiles.

The OilWell Origin Story: From McAllen to Michigan

OilWell Cannabis was founded by Colin Valencia in Houston, Texas, but our roots are in McAllen — a border city that knows hardship like Michigan’s industrial towns know layoffs. McAllen sits across from Reynosa, Mexico, in a region called the Borderplex, where cartel violence and poverty shape daily life. Colin’s best friends have been killed or imprisoned. He faced every form of violence imaginable and left home at sixteen.

Why this matters to Michigan: Whether you’re from Detroit’s neighborhoods that never recovered after the auto industry left, Flint’s communities still dealing with water crisis trauma, or the Upper Peninsula’s isolated towns with limited healthcare access — you understand that suffering doesn’t discriminate by geography. Colin’s origin story isn’t about privilege; it’s about resilience.

Despite the dangers, Colin didn’t fall into harder substances. He chose cannabis, seeing it as safer and more beneficial. He learned the plant intimately in the traditional, pre-legalization world while operating in the shadows. Then he did something remarkable: he became a formally trained software engineer and worked for Baylor College of Medicine — one of America’s most prestigious medical institutions.

That combination — deep cannabis plant knowledge plus medical-grade technical precision — defines OilWell’s approach. While Rick Simpson had no medical training, Colin has both plant wisdom and institutional scientific rigor. For Michigan’s research-oriented consumers near the University of Michigan or Michigan State, that credibility matters.

Bentley’s Story: The Real-Life R&D That Shapes Our Formula

The company’s origin isn’t a boardroom decision — it’s a dog named Bentley.

Bentley was paralyzed, facing euthanasia. Vets said pain medications would destroy his organs. But giving up wasn’t an option. In desperation, a rescue worker asked Colin: “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 formula. Bentley got up and walked over with his ball to play. Dogs don’t respond to placebo. This was real cannabinoid medicine succeeding where pharmaceuticals failed.

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

• Neurodegeneration → CBG’s neuroprotective properties and THCa’s PPARγ agonism
• Dementia → CBC’s role in neurogenesis
• Glaucoma → THC’s CB1 agonism for intraocular pressure
• Arthritis → Multi-pathway anti-inflammatory using CBD, CBG, THCa, and β-caryophyllene

For Michigan’s aging population — from retirees in Traverse City to factory workers in Pontiac with decades of wear-and-tear — this multi-condition approach resonates. Single cannabinoids weren’t enough for Bentley. They’re not enough for complex human patients either.

Colin’s Personal Journey: PTSD, Benzos, and Peace Gummies

Colin also knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He struggled with PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction. When he quit Xanax cold turkey — a notoriously dangerous process — he used the cannabinoid knowledge developed keeping Bentley alive.

Peace Gummies were created during midnight experiments while fighting through benzo withdrawal. Colin personally uses the vape form for ongoing insomnia and severe PTSD. This isn’t theoretical knowledge from a lab. This is lived experience from someone who understands Michigan’s opioid crisis, veteran PTSD epidemic, and mental health treatment gaps firsthand.

OilWell’s RSO Philosophy: Four Principles for Michigan

Our approach evolves Rick Simpson’s vision while staying true to its core:

1. Accessibility Over Gatekeeping

No Michigan medical card required. Anyone 21+ can purchase. We ship nationwide to all 50 states where hemp products are legal — including every corner of Michigan from Marquette to Monroe. Same-day delivery in Houston; 2-3 day USPS Priority to Michigan.

Rick Simpson gave oil away for free. We can’t do that sustainably, but we do make it legally accessible without the barriers Michigan’s medical program still imposes. While Michigan’s medical cannabis system (established 2008) and recreational system (MRTMA, 2018) are more progressive than Texas, many Michiganders still face:

• High dispensary prices in Detroit and Grand Rapids
• Limited access in rural UP communities
• Concerns about privacy and employment

Our direct-to-consumer model bypasses these issues.

2. Patient-Controlled Potency

You decide psychoactivity. Michigan’s workers — whether in manufacturing, healthcare, education, or transportation — can’t be impaired on the job. Our raw THCa formula allows daytime anti-inflammatory benefits with zero high. When you need full potency for nighttime relief or severe symptoms, decarboxylate at home.

This respects Michigan’s culture of responsibility and self-determination.

3. Open-Source Formulas

We publish everything. Every milligram, every percentage, every cannabinoid amount is public. Can’t afford $129.99? Source the distillates and make your own. This is Rick Simpson’s free-distribution ethos adapted for 2024.

For Michigan’s DIY communities — and we know you exist, from the cannabis growers in Northern Michigan to the health hackers in Ann Arbor — this is unprecedented transparency.

4. Evidence-Informed, Not Evidence-Overstating

The GENERAL KNOWLEDGE section you’re reading represents 29 peer-reviewed citations. We don’t hide from what the science doesn’t yet prove. Michigan’s university towns (Ann Arbor, East Lansing, Houghton) have scientifically literate populations who respect this honesty.

The Science Behind Our Formula: What Michigan Researchers Need to Know

Every compound in our formula has an evidence profile. Here’s what Michigan’s healthcare providers, researchers, and informed patients should understand:

CBD (4,500mg) — The Foundation

Strongest human evidence in our formula. FDA-approved Epidiolex for rare epilepsies. Significant anxiolytic signal in 2024 meta-analysis of 316 participants. Pain literature promising but heterogeneous. Sleep research methodologically weak but suggestive. Safety concerns: possible liver enzyme elevation, drug interactions — especially relevant for Michigan’spolypharmacy seniors.

CBG (3,000mg) — The Neuroprotector

Mostly preclinical, but mechanistically distinct. Interacts with cannabinoid receptors, alpha-2 adrenoceptors, and 5-HT1A pathways. Interest for neurologic disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, antibacterial activity. Commercially sold while evidence remains thin — we acknowledge this gap transparently.

Delta-8 THC (6,000mg) — The Gentle Giant

Pharmacologically similar to delta-9 but less potent. 2022 review found comparable pharmacokinetics. 2023 scoping review noted adverse consequence reports and manufacturing quality concerns. Not safe just because it’s hemp-derived. Real psychoactive effects. We include it for antiemetic and pain benefits at a dosage that reflects emerging evidence.

THCa (1,500mg) — Michigan’s Legal Advantage

Non-psychoactive acidic precursor. Converts to THC with heat (260°F for 45-60 min = 1,315mg Δ9-THC). Our formula preserves it raw for patient control. Anti-inflammatory via COX-2 inhibition, neuroprotective via PPARγ agonism — but evidence is preclinical. The key is you control conversion, making this legal in Michigan under Farm Bill framework.

Delta-9 THC (90mg) — The Regulated Component

Strongest human evidence for psychoactive cannabinoid. NCCIH supports use for chemo nausea, HIV appetite, MS symptoms, some pain. 2022 systematic review: high-THC products may help short-term pain but increase dizziness, sedation, nausea. 2025 review: high-concentration THC linked to psychosis, cannabis use disorder, anxiety, depression. We keep it at 90mg total — far below Simpson’s 600-900mg/day peak dosing — for safety while maintaining therapeutic presence.

CBN (750mg) — The Sleep Terpene’s Cousin

Marketing far ahead of evidence. 2021 narrative review screened 99 human studies, found zero clinical trials using validated sleep measures or polysomnography. 2024 review concluded cannabis sleep research doesn’t match real-world use scale. We include 750mg (25mg/mL) because at 1-2mL doses, you get 25-50mg — above the 20mg threshold some literature associates with reduced sleep disturbance, but we don’t overstate the proof.

CBC (750mg) — The Emerging Protector

Distinct pharmacology from CBD/THC. 2024 review highlighted antinociceptive, antibacterial, anti-seizure potential. 2021 review noted anti-inflammatory effects and possible neurobiological relevance. Over-the-counter products already sold with little safety/efficacy evidence. We include it as part of our multi-cannabinoid ensemble while acknowledging the research gap.

Terpenes: The Aromatic Ensemble for Michigan’s Connoisseurs

Our 5% live terpene profile is designed for Michigan’s sophisticated cannabis consumers who understand that smell and effect are linked:

• Limonene (citrus-bright): Mood elevation, but watch for oxidation products that can be allergens
• Myrcene: Common in cannabis, anxiolytic and anti-inflammatory preclinical signals, but human sedative claims lack proof
• Caryophyllene (pepper/spice): TRUE CB2 agonist — directly activates cannabinoid receptors, making it pharmacologically unique among terpenes
• Pinene (forest-fresh): Memory and alertness hypotheses, but human cognition claims are exploratory
• Linalool (lavender-floral): Calming reputation supported by preclinical neuropharmacology, but clinical trials lacking
• Humulene (earthy/woody): Anti-inflammatory and potential cannabimimetic properties via CB1 and adenosine pathways
• Terpinolene: Least clinically characterized but biologically interesting

For Michigan’s essential oil communities and aromatherapy practitioners in places like Traverse City and Holland, these terpenes connect familiar plant aromas to cannabis science. But we won’t overstate what the research doesn’t yet prove.

Media Recognition: Why Michigan Can Trust Our Voice

Between 2019-2023, ABC13 Houston featured Colin Valencia in seven news segments. Five different reporters sought him out as Houston’s cannabis authority. That’s not a PR campaign — that’s earned credibility.

Key features relevant to Michigan:

• September 2019: “I’m not trying to sell people snake oil… there’s enough research out there that people just need to know and try and have the best possible version.” — The philosophy that drives this entire document.

• May 2021: Steve Campion’s Delta-8 investigation where Colin’s unedited honesty (“Maybe you want to get high”) demonstrated transparency no Michigan competitor matches.

• August 2021: $35,000 in free product donated to encourage COVID-19 vaccination — community action, not just talk.

• October 2021: When Texas banned Delta-8 overnight, Colin proactively removed products and warned competitors. Ethical leadership during crisis.

• October 2022: Revealed Colin’s personal marijuana conviction history — transformative moment showing he’s lived the consequences Michigan’s 300,000 annual cannabis arrestees face.

• April 2023: “Renaissance” framing — celebrating the creative period in cannabis that Michigan is also experiencing with its mature market.

For Michigan consumers, this media record from America’s 4th-largest city translates to credibility. When you can’t visit our Houston dispensary, these ABC13 features (all available online) provide independently verified proof of our expertise, ethics, and community commitment.

Michigan-Specific FAQ: Questions We Hear from the Mitten State

Q: Is this legal in Michigan?
A: Yes. Our products contain <0.3% delta-9 THC and are hemp-derived under the 2018 Farm Bill. Michigan state law permits hemp products. However, check your local municipality’s ordinances. We ship with full COAs and documentation.

Q: Will this show up on a Michigan employer drug test?
A: The raw THCa formula will not trigger positive THC tests. However, if you decarboxylate (activate) the THCa into THC, or use the vape format, you will test positive. Michigan employers can still conduct cannabis testing. Be honest about your use.

Q: Can I use this instead of Michigan dispensary products?
A: Our formula is different — multi-cannabinoid vs. THC-dominant. Many Michigan patients use our products alongside dispensary purchases. We’re not a replacement but an alternative for those seeking specific cannabinoid ratios or who prefer no medical card requirement.

Q: How fast will this ship to Detroit/Grand Rapids/UP?
A: USPS Priority Mail arrives in 2-3 business days to most Michigan addresses. UPS/FedEx Ground takes 3-5 days. Order by 2 PM CST for same-day shipping.

Q: Is this really the same as Rick Simpson’s oil?
A: No, and we’re transparent about that. Traditional RSO was crude, single-strain, high-THC, and illegal. Our formula is refined, multi-cannabinoid, lab-tested, and legal. It honors Simpson’s vision of patient-controlled medicine while solving the safety and standardization problems his method couldn’t address.

Q: Can I make this myself using your recipe?
A: Absolutely. That’s the point of open-source. If you can source the individual cannabinoid distillates, our complete formula is published in this document. However, our professionally manufactured version offers guaranteed purity, lab testing, and convenience that DIY can’t match.

Q: What about Michigan’s harsh winters? Will shipping affect the product?
A: Our temperature-stable packaging protects against Michigan’s summer heat and winter freezes. The MCT oil base remains stable across temperature ranges. Store at room temperature once delivered.
