Why Seward County Residents Are Turning to RSO for Natural Relief
If you’re in Seward County searching for alternative ways to manage chronic pain, anxiety, sleep issues, or other health challenges, you’re not alone. More Kansans than ever are exploring cannabis-based therapies like Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) to find relief when conventional treatments fall short. But with so much conflicting information online, it can be overwhelming to know where to start.
At OilWell Cannabis, we understand the unique needs of Seward County residents. Whether you’re in Liberal, Kismet, or the surrounding rural areas, we’ve created this comprehensive guide to help you navigate RSO with confidence. Our Houston-based company has become a trusted resource for Kansans seeking legal, high-quality cannabis products that actually work.
The Rick Simpson Story: How One Man’s Journey Changed Cannabis Medicine
Rick Simpson’s story begins in 1949 in Nova Scotia, Canada. As a maintenance worker with no medical training, he found himself at odds with the healthcare system after a workplace accident left him with persistent post-concussion symptoms. When prescription medications failed to help, he turned to cannabis – a decision that would eventually lead him to develop what we now call Rick Simpson Oil.
The turning point came in 2003 when Simpson noticed suspicious bumps on his arm. After conventional medicine diagnosed basal cell carcinoma, he chose to apply concentrated cannabis oil to the lesions. According to his account, the bumps disappeared within days. While this personal experience was never medically verified, it became the catalyst for a global movement.
Simpson began producing large quantities of cannabis oil and giving it away for free to people with cancer, chronic pain, diabetes, and other conditions. His 2005 documentary “Run From The Cure” brought RSO to worldwide attention, despite legal challenges from Canadian authorities that eventually forced him to leave the country.
What Traditional RSO Was – And Why It Needed to Evolve
When Rick Simpson first made his oil, he used whatever high-THC indica strains he could grow or source. The extraction process involved:
- Using naphtha or isopropyl alcohol as solvents
- Agitating cannabis material in buckets
- Filtering and evaporating the solvent in a rice cooker
- Transferring the thick, dark oil into syringes for dosing
This traditional RSO had several limitations:
- Uncontrolled potency: THC content varied from 60-90% with no standardization
- No lab testing: Every batch was different with no quality control
- Terpene loss: The high-heat process destroyed beneficial aromatic compounds
- Solvent risks: Naphtha could leave harmful residues
- Single-cannabinoid focus: Only THC was present in meaningful amounts
While Simpson’s heart was in the right place, the scientific community couldn’t validate his cancer cure claims. The National Cancer Institute acknowledges cannabinoid research but doesn’t endorse cannabis as a cancer treatment. This gap between anecdotal success and clinical evidence created an opportunity for modern RSO formulations to bridge the divide.
OilWell’s Modern RSO: Built for Seward County’s Needs
At OilWell, we’ve taken the spirit of Rick Simpson’s work and elevated it with modern science, safety, and accessibility. Our founder Colin Valencia’s personal journey mirrors many of the struggles we see in Seward County:
- Growing up in the challenging border region of McAllen, Texas
- Witnessing friends lost to violence and incarceration
- Developing PTSD and battling benzodiazepine addiction
- Discovering cannabis as a path to healing
Colin’s experience saving his paralyzed dog Bentley with CBD paste became the foundation for OilWell. Over ten years, he developed specialized formulas for conditions like neurodegeneration, glaucoma, and arthritis – the same issues affecting many in Seward County.

How to Use RSO Safely in Seward County
Legal Considerations in Kansas
OilWell’s RSO is fully compliant with the 2018 Farm Bill, containing less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC at the point of sale. This makes it legal to purchase and possess in Kansas. However, there are important considerations:
- THCa conversion: When heated, THCa converts to Delta-9 THC. The full 1,500mg THCa in our formula can become ~1,315mg Delta-9 THC after decarboxylation
- Local laws: Always check Seward County and Kansas state regulations
- Workplace policies: Some employers in the oil and gas industry may have specific drug testing policies
Dosing Guidelines
We recommend starting with a low dose and gradually increasing:
- Begin with 0.25-0.5mL (138-276mg total cannabinoids)
- Wait 2-3 hours to assess effects before increasing
- Increase by 0.25mL every 2-3 days as needed
- Maintenance dose typically ranges from 0.5-2.0mL daily
Condition-Specific Approaches
Chronic Pain (from farming, oilfield work, or arthritis)
- Daytime: 0.3-0.5mL raw (non-decarboxylated) for anti-inflammatory effects without impairment
- Nighttime: 0.5-1.0mL decarboxylated for pain relief and sleep support
- Breakthrough pain: Vape cartridge for rapid onset
Anxiety and Stress
- Daytime: 0.3mL raw for CBD and CBG benefits
- Nighttime: 1.0mL for full cannabinoid profile including CBN
Sleep Support
- 1.0-2.0mL before bed (delivers 25-50mg CBN)
- Vape cartridge for faster onset if needed
Chemotherapy Support
- Pre-chemo: 0.5-1.0mL sublingual
- Acute nausea: 2-3 vape puffs
- Post-chemo: 0.5mL every 6 hours as needed
