Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Nome Census Area: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis
Living in Nome Census Area means we understand resilience. Whether we’re mending nets on the Bering Sea, traveling between villages across the Seward Peninsula, or simply enduring the long nights of an Arctic winter, we know that real relief can’t wait for a convenient appointment three weeks away. When chronic pain, the weight of PTSD, or the side effects of chemotherapy hit, we need options that work—options we can trust, understand, and access without jumping through bureaucratic hoops.
We’re OilWell Cannabis, a Houston-born cannabinoid company that serves every corner of the United States, including the remote communities of Nome Census Area. We don’t sell hype. We publish our formulas, cite our evidence, and let you decide. This guide is the most thorough, honest, and specific resource you’ll find for RSO—because you deserve the full truth, not a sales pitch.
Who We Are: From Montrose to the Last Frontier
OilWell Cannabis didn’t start in a boardroom. It started in McAllen, Texas, where our founder Colin Valencia grew up in one of the most challenging border regions in America—learning early what it means to survive when the system fails you. By sixteen, he’d seen enough violence and loss to know that trust is earned, not given. He entered the traditional cannabis world pre-legalization, not for profit, but because he believed the plant could do better than the dangerous alternatives that swallowed his friends.
Later, Colin became a software engineer and did custom development for Baylor College of Medicine—bringing medical-grade technical precision to deep cannabis knowledge. He combined these two worlds when his dog Bentley, paralyzed and facing euthanasia, got up and walked after Colin created a CBD golden paste. Bentley lived another ten years, and during that decade, Colin developed multi-cannabinoid formulas for every age-related condition Bentley faced: neurodegeneration, dementia, glaucoma, arthritis. That same precision now powers our RSO formulas for humans.
Colin’s own battle with PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction shaped our Peace Gummies—born from midnight experiments during Xanax withdrawal. He still uses the vape form for insomnia and severe PTSD. This is personal for us. We don’t just formulate; we live these products.
ABC13 Houston, the city’s number-one news source, featured Colin in seven separate segments from 2019 to 2023. They called him when Delta-8 became a legal question, when President Biden announced marijuana pardons, and when COVID vaccination needed a community boost. In October 2021, when Texas suddenly classified Delta-8 as Schedule I, Colin removed every product from his shelves before enforcement began and warned other operators who were unknowingly shipping narcotics. That’s the kind of integrity that builds trust—whether you’re in Houston or a remote fishing camp near Wales, Alaska.
What Is Rick Simpson Oil? The Tradition & The Truth for Nome Census Area
Rick Simpson was a power engineer from Nova Scotia—not a doctor, not a scientist. In 1997, after a scaffolding accident left him with tinnitus and chronic pain that pharmaceuticals couldn’t touch, he turned to cannabis. In 2003, he claimed that applying concentrated cannabis oil to basal cell carcinoma lesions made them disappear. No biopsy, no medical verification, no peer-reviewed study. That personal experience became the origin story of Rick Simpson Oil (RSO).
Simpson spent years giving his oil away for free, helping people with cancer, chronic pain, diabetes, infections, glaucoma, arthritis, depression, and insomnia. He believed pharmaceutical companies were suppressing a cure. The 2005 documentary Run From The Cure spread his story worldwide, including to Alaska—where word-of-mouth in tight-knit villages made RSO a whispered hope for those who felt abandoned by the Anchorage healthcare system.
What Simpson got right: He forced the world to take cannabinoids seriously. He built a movement.
What he overstated: There is no clinical trial proving RSO cures cancer. The National Cancer Institute acknowledges preclinical interest but does not endorse cannabis as a cancer treatment. The FDA hasn’t approved any cannabis plant product for cancer. Health Canada never approved RSO for cancer. Encouraging patients to delay proven oncologic therapies carries real harm.
In Nome Census Area, where rumors travel faster than mail planes, it’s critical to separate hope from evidence. We honor Simpson’s grassroots spirit, but we ground our formulas in the science that exists—not the science we wish existed.
Why Our RSO Is Different: Built for Real Life in Remote Alaska
Traditional RSO vs. OilWell Formulated RSO
| Feature | Traditional RSO (Simpson’s Method) | OilWell RSO (Our Formula) |
|---|---|---|
| Source Material | Single THC-heavy indica strain, uncontrolled | Multi-cannabinoid blend (CBD, CBG, Delta-8, THCa, Delta-9, CBN, CBC) |
| Extraction | Naphtha or isopropyl alcohol (toxic residues possible) | Solvent-free, food-grade MCT oil carrier |
| Cannabinoid Profile | 60-90% Delta-9 THC, unknown minor cannabinoids | Seven defined cannabinoids at precise mg/mL |
| Terpenes | Destroyed by heat | Live terpenes at 5% (limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene, linalool, humulene, terpinolene) |
| Testing | None; every batch different | Full third-party panel: potency, terpenes, pesticides, heavy metals, residual solvents, microbes |
| Potency Control | Always psychoactive; no choice | Patient-controlled: Raw THCa is non-psychoactive; you decarb at home to activate |
| Legal Status | Schedule I (illegal) | Farm Bill compliant (<0.3% Delta-9 THC at sale) |
| Access | Underground, risky | Ships legally to Nome Census Area |
The Decarboxylation Choice: Daytime Function vs. Nighttime Relief
In Nome, where you might be checking fishing lines at dawn or driving a snowmachine across tundra, you can’t afford to be impaired when you need to be alert. Our sublingual oil contains 1,500mg of THCa—a non-psychoactive acid form of THC.
- Option 1: Use it raw. Place under tongue. Zero high. THCa may support anti-inflammatory pathways (COX-2 inhibition, PPARγ agonism) without affecting your ability to operate a boat, a rifle, or a work truck.
- Option 2: Decarb at home. Heat oil at 260°F for 45-60 minutes in an oven-safe glass dish. This converts 1,500mg THCa into ~1,315mg Delta-9 THC. Combined with our 6,000mg Delta-8 THC, you get full-potency psychoactive relief for severe pain or sleep—legally, because you performed the activation after purchase.
- Option 3: Vape it. Our 1g cartridge auto-decarbs THCa at 400-450°F—1-2 minute onset for breakthrough pain or panic attacks.
You decide. That’s how we honor Rick Simpson’s principle of patient control—through chemistry, not dogma.
Solvent-Free, Lab-Tested, Transparent
Traditional RSO carried real risk: naphtha residues, benzene, toluene. Our product is a formulated blend of pure cannabinoid distillates in organic MCT oil—no solvents, no tar-like texture, no mystery.
Every batch tested for:
- Cannabinoid potency (±2% accuracy)
- Terpene profile
- 400+ pesticides
- Heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury)
- Residual solvents (FDA Class 3 limits)
- Microbial contaminants (E. coli, Salmonella, Aspergillus)

How to Use Our RSO in Nome Census Area: Condition Contexts & Dosing
Critical Disclaimer: These products are not FDA-approved to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. They have not been evaluated by the FDA. Individual results vary. Consult your healthcare provider—especially if you’re managing conditions common in rural Alaska like chronic pain from physical labor, PTSD from military service, or chemo side effects. Do not operate snowmachines, boats, or firearms while impaired.
Chronic Pain (Arthritis, Back Injury, Neuropathy)
- Daytime function: 0.3-0.5mL raw sublingual (under tongue). No impairment. Anti-inflammatory support from THCa (COX-2 inhibition) and caryophyllene (CB2 agonism) helps after long hours mending nets or hauling wood.
- Nighttime relief: 0.5-1.0mL decarboxylated sublingual before bed. Activates Delta-8/Delta-9 for deeper analgesia plus CBN for sleep.
- Breakthrough pain: 2-3 vape puffs. Rapid onset for flare-ups.
Evidence: CBD and Delta-9 THC show short-term pain benefit in systematic reviews [13]; CBG and THCa offer anti-inflammatory pathways [7][12]; caryophyllene directly activates CB2 [24].
Sleep Support (Insomnia, Midnight Sun Disruption)
- Before bed: 1.0-2.0mL sublingual. At 2mL, you get 50mg CBN—the dosage investigated in recent sleep literature [16][17]. At 1mL, 25mg CBN still exceeds the threshold linked to reduced sleep disturbance.
- If you wake at 2 AM: Vape for quick return to sleep.
Evidence: CBN’s sleep reputation is widespread, but clinical trials are limited. We include it at research-informed levels, not marketing hype.
Anxiety & PTSD (Especially for Veterans & First Responders)
- Daytime: 0.3mL raw sublingual. CBD + CBG address anxiety pathways [3][7] without impairment. Safe before a village council meeting or while monitoring fishing lines.
- Nighttime: 1.0mL sublingual (raw or decarbed depending on need). Full cannabinoid profile plus linalool for calm.
Why this matters in Nome: PTSD affects many in our region—veterans, search-and-rescue volunteers, those who’ve witnessed tragedies at sea. Colin’s personal benzo withdrawal story (he quit Xanax cold-turkey using these formulas) isn’t just marketing; it’s lived experience.
Chemotherapy-Related Nausea & Appetite
- Pre-chemo: 0.5-1.0mL sublingual 1 hour before treatment. Delta-8’s antiemetic properties [9] plus Delta-9’s established nausea control [1][13].
- Acute nausea: Vape for 1-2 minute relief.
- Post-chemo: 0.5mL every 6 hours as needed.
Practical note: If you’re receiving treatment in Anchorage or Seattle, our products ship reliably so you have them before your next round.
General Titration Principle: Start Low, Go Slow
- Begin: 0.25-0.5mL sublingual.
- Wait: 2-3 hours. Assess effects.
- Adjust: Increase by 0.1mL increments. Log your response—especially important when you’re miles from the nearest clinic.
- Body weight & metabolism: Smaller individuals may need less; those with higher body mass or tolerance may need more. Listen to your body.
Legal Clarity: Farm Bill & Alaska State Law
Federal Legality
Our RSO Sublingual Oil contains 90mg Delta-9 THC total in a 30mL bottle—3mg/mL. That’s well under the 0.3% federal limit set by the 2018 Farm Bill. All cannabinoids are hemp-derived. This makes our product legal to purchase, possess, and ship to Alaska.
Alaska State Law
Alaska legalized adult-use cannabis in 2014. Adults 21+ may possess up to 1 ounce of marijuana. Hemp-derived products under 0.3% Delta-9 THC are explicitly permitted. Our products comply.
Important: THCa converts to Delta-9 THC when heated. If you decarboxylate at home, the resulting oil will exceed 0.3% Delta-9 THC. That conversion is your choice and responsibility. Under Alaska law, you may possess and use activated cannabis products in private residences. Do not transport activated product across state lines.
Customer responsibility: Verify current local ordinances in Nome, Kotzebue, or your village. We provide full COAs and receipts with every shipment.

Community & Our Promise to Nome Census Area
Open-Source Formulas: If You Can’t Afford It, Make It
We publish our exact formulas above. If $129.99 is out of reach, source the distillates and MCT oil yourself. We’ll even point you to reputable suppliers. This is our adaptation of Rick Simpson’s free-distribution ethos: sell a professional product, but never gatekeep the knowledge. In a region where cash is tight and medical bills pile up, that matters.
No Snake Oil, No Hype
Colin’s 2019 ABC13 quote is our north star: “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.”
We won’t tell you RSO cures cancer. We’ll tell you what the National Cancer Institute says. We won’t claim CBN knocks you out. We’ll show you the sleep study data. We’ll tell you what we know, what we don’t, and what we’re still learning.
Our Community Health Track Record
In August 2021, we gave away 1,000 caviar pre-rolls ($35,000 in product) to Houstonians who got COVID vaccinated. We coordinated with the city health department. No politics, just action. That same ethos drives us to support rural health access. We’re exploring partnerships with Alaska Native health organizations to subsidize RSO for chemotherapy patients. If you represent a tribal health clinic or village clinic, call us. We want to help.
Frequently Asked Questions: Nome Census Area Edition
Q: Will this get me high?
A: Only if you choose to. Use it raw = zero high. Decarb it = strong psychoactive effect. Vape it = instant activation. You control the experience.
Q: Will I fail a drug test?
A: Yes, if you use the decarbed or vape form. Delta-8 THC and converted Delta-9 THC show up on standard urine screens. If you’re subject to workplace testing (e.g., commercial fishing, mining, public safety), use the raw sublingual oil only—and even then, discuss risks with your employer. We are honest about this.
Q: Is this legal in Nome, Alaska?
A: Yes. Our product is Farm Bill compliant at purchase. Alaska law permits hemp products under 0.3% Delta-9 THC. Possession limits for activated cannabis apply if you decarb at home. Do not transport activated product across state lines.
Q: How long does shipping take?
A: Typically 5-7 business days to Nome. Weather can add 1-2 days. Order before freeze-up to avoid delays.
Q: Can I use this while hunting or fishing?
A: Raw form: yes, no impairment. Decarbed or vape: no. Alaska law prohibits operating firearms or vessels while intoxicated. Be responsible.
Q: What if I’m on other meds?
A: CBD can interact with blood thinners, seizure meds, and other drugs metabolized by the liver [1][6]. Always consult your provider—especially if you receive care at Norton Sound Regional Hospital or are managed by a village health aide.
Q: Why is it expensive?
A: $129.99 delivers 16,590mg total cannabinoids. Compare to single-cannabinoid products with 1,000mg for $40-50. You’re paying for seven cannabinoids, live terpenes, lab testing, and the ability to control potency. If that’s too much, use our open-source formula to DIY.
Q: Do you work with Alaska Native health providers?
A: We’re actively building those relationships. If you’re a provider, call (832) 416-2816. We can discuss bulk pricing for patient support programs.
