Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Sweetwater County: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis
A New Era of Cannabis Access in Southwest Wyoming
Sweetwater County, Wyoming—home to Rock Springs, Green River, and the vast high-desert landscapes of the Red Desert—has long been a place where self-reliance and practical solutions matter. Whether you’re a rancher working the high plains, a miner in the trona fields, or a healthcare worker at Memorial Hospital of Sweetwater County, you understand the value of honest information and products that deliver real results.
That’s why we’re bringing you this complete guide to Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Sweetwater County. This isn’t just another cannabis product—it’s a carefully formulated, multi-cannabinoid solution designed for people who need more than what conventional medicine offers. And unlike the traditional RSO you may have heard about, our formula is lab-tested, solvent-free, and built on over a decade of real-world formulation experience.
Why Sweetwater County Needs Better Options
Sweetwater County faces unique health challenges. The physical demands of mining, ranching, and oil field work take a toll on joints and backs. The isolation of rural living can amplify stress and anxiety. And when conventional treatments fall short—whether for chronic pain, sleep disorders, or the side effects of serious illness—people here don’t have the luxury of endless specialist appointments or experimental therapies.
That’s where RSO comes in. But not just any RSO. The traditional Rick Simpson Oil that started a movement in the early 2000s was groundbreaking for its time, but it had real limitations—uncontrolled potency, solvent risks, and a one-size-fits-all approach. Our formula takes everything that was powerful about RSO and improves it with modern science, precise dosing, and a deep understanding of what people in Sweetwater County actually need.
The Rick Simpson Story: From Nova Scotia to Sweetwater County
The Man Behind the Movement
Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor or scientist. He was a power engineer from Amherst, Nova Scotia, who turned to cannabis after conventional medicine failed him. In 1997, a workplace accident left him with persistent post-concussion symptoms—tinnitus, dizziness, and pain that prescription medications couldn’t touch. When he asked his doctor about cannabis, he was refused.
This experience planted the seed for what would become Rick Simpson Oil. Simpson learned about a 1974 study from the Medical College of Virginia that showed THC could slow tumor growth in mice. While those findings were never replicated in human trials, they inspired Simpson to experiment with concentrated cannabis oil.
The turning point came in 2003 when Simpson claimed that cannabis oil removed three bumps on his arm diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma. No biopsy confirmed this, and no independent medical verification exists. But this personal experience became the origin story of RSO and the foundation of a global movement.
What Simpson Got Right—and What He Didn’t
Simpson’s crusade was built on two core principles that still resonate in Sweetwater County today:
- Cannabis has real therapeutic potential—especially for people failed by conventional medicine.
- This medicine should be accessible to everyone, not just those who can afford expensive treatments or navigate complex healthcare systems.
These principles are why RSO became so important to people in places like Rock Springs and Green River—communities where healthcare access can be limited and people often need to take their health into their own hands.
But Simpson’s claims also went far beyond what the evidence supported. He maintained that RSO could cure cancer and that pharmaceutical companies and governments were actively suppressing this information. These claims exceeded the scientific evidence available then—and still do today.
The Evidence Gap: What We Know and What We Don’t
The preclinical research on cannabinoids and cancer is scientifically interesting:
- In laboratory studies, THC and CBD have been shown to induce programmed cell death (apoptosis) in certain cancer cell lines.
- Animal studies have demonstrated tumor growth inhibition in some cases.
- These findings have generated legitimate scientific interest and ongoing research.
However, this is where the evidence stops:
- No controlled human trials have demonstrated that RSO or any cannabis oil preparation cures cancer.
- No reputable health authority—including the National Cancer Institute, FDA, or Health Canada—endorses cannabis as a cancer treatment.
- The risks of high-dose THC—especially the 600-900mg per day in Simpson’s protocol—are well-documented and include severe intoxication, anxiety, panic, tachycardia, and cannabis use disorder.
For people in Sweetwater County facing cancer or other serious illnesses, this evidence gap matters. Delaying or foregoing proven treatments based on unproven claims can have devastating consequences. That’s why our approach at OilWell is different: we honor the RSO tradition while being honest about what the science actually supports.
Traditional RSO vs. Modern Formulated RSO: What’s Different?
| Feature | Traditional RSO | OilWell Formulated RSO |
|---|---|---|
| Source Material | Single high-THC indica strain | Multi-cannabinoid blend from multiple sources |
| Extraction Method | Naphtha or isopropyl alcohol (toxic solvents) | Modern food-grade ethanol or CO₂ methods |
| Cannabinoid Profile | THC-dominant, uncontrolled | Seven defined cannabinoids at specific ratios |
| Terpene Content | Destroyed by high-heat process | Live terpenes at 5% with defined seven-terpene profile |
| Standardization | None—every batch different | Lab-tested with specific mg/mL targets |
| Lab Testing | Not available or performed | Full panel testing (potency, terpenes, pesticides, heavy metals, residual solvents, microbial) |
| Residual Solvents | Significant risk with naphtha | Controlled and tested (none detected) |
| Dosing Precision | Approximate, syringe-based | Measured per mL with known cannabinoid content (553 mg/mL) |
| Product Formats | Single thick oil only | Sublingual oil and vape cartridge with format-specific formulas |
| THCa Preservation | No—fully decarboxylated by heat | Yes—THCa included as a separate ingredient at 1,500 mg |
| Evidence Approach | Anecdotal, personal testimony | Research-backed, evidence-weighted |
Why Our Formula Diverges from Traditional RSO
Our RSO isn’t traditional—it’s better. Here’s why we made deliberate changes to Rick Simpson’s original approach:
-
Multi-cannabinoid synergy: Traditional RSO relied on whatever single strain the maker grew. We intentionally include seven cannabinoids (CBD, CBG, delta-8 THC, THCa, delta-9 THC, CBN, and CBC) because the entourage effect literature suggests potential benefits from cannabinoid diversity.
-
Terpene preservation: Traditional RSO destroyed terpenes through solvent and heat. We include live terpenes at 5% with a specific seven-terpene profile (limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene, linalool, humulene, terpinolene) because terpene bioactivity is plausible and supported at the preclinical level.
-
THCa as a separate ingredient: Traditional RSO fully decarboxylated everything, converting all THCa into delta-9 THC. Our formula includes THCa at 1,500 mg as a distinct ingredient, preserving its potential non-psychoactive benefits.
-
Reduced delta-9 THC dominance: Traditional RSO was overwhelmingly delta-9 THC (60-90%). Our formula uses delta-9 THC at only 90 mg while incorporating delta-8 THC at 6,000 mg and distributing the rest across other cannabinoids. This reflects the broader research landscape rather than a single-compound approach.
-
Product format innovation: Simpson envisioned only one format—an oral oil administered from a syringe. We offer both a 30 mL sublingual oil and a 1-gram vape cartridge, each with its own formulation acknowledging different pharmacokinetic profiles.
The OilWell Difference: From Houston to Sweetwater County
A Company Built on Real Need
OilWell Cannabis wasn’t born in a boardroom. It started in Houston, Texas, with a man named Colin Valencia and his dog Bentley.
Bentley was paralyzed and facing euthanasia. Veterinarians said there was nothing more they could do. But Colin refused to give up. He had moved tons of cannabis in his life, but he’d never explored its medicinal potential. When a rescue worker asked, “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and you’ve never heard of CBD?”—everything changed.
Colin created a CBD golden paste formula that saved Bentley’s life. From paralyzed to playing fetch in days. Bentley lived another ten years, and during that time, Colin developed specialized cannabis formulas for every condition Bentley faced:
- 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 approaches using CBD, CBG, THCa, and beta-caryophyllene
This wasn’t academic research. This was real-world formulation development with real stakes—Bentley’s life depended on getting it right.
From Pets to People: The OilWell Mission
Bentley’s recovery showed Colin that cannabis could do more than just get people high—it could provide real therapeutic benefits. But he also learned that single cannabinoids weren’t enough. Bentley’s evolving conditions required multi-cannabinoid synergy and pharmaceutical precision.
This experience became the foundation of OilWell’s approach:
- Multi-cannabinoid formulas that address multiple pathways simultaneously
- Precision dosing because real health needs require accuracy, not guesswork
- Open-source transparency because people deserve to know exactly what they’re putting in their bodies
- Evidence-based development because claims should be grounded in science, not hype
Colin’s Personal Journey: From PTSD to Peace
Colin’s commitment to cannabis goes beyond business. He’s lived what many RSO patients live—desperation for relief, failed pharmaceuticals, and the discovery that cannabinoids work when pills don’t.
Colin struggled with severe PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction. When he decided to quit Xanax cold turkey—a notoriously difficult and dangerous process—he used the cannabinoid knowledge he’d developed keeping Bentley alive. The Peace Gummies formula that became an OilWell product was created during midnight experiments while fighting through benzo withdrawal.
Today, Colin personally uses the Peace Gummies vape to manage his insomnia and PTSD. This isn’t theoretical knowledge. He survives on these products.
ABC13 Houston: Seven Features That Prove Our Credibility
Between 2019 and 2023, ABC13 Houston—America’s fourth-largest news market—featured OilWell Cannabis in seven comprehensive news segments. No other Houston cannabis operator matches this frequency or breadth of coverage. Here’s what the media record reveals about OilWell:
-
September 2019: “Texas 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.”
-
March 2021: “Entrepreneur creates direct-to-consumer business” – Colin on cannabis as therapy: “People are looking for things to help them with real pain. Pain comes in a lot of different forms.”
-
May 2021: “What is Delta 8 THC?” – Colin’s iconic honesty: “I don’t give a sh* if it’s wrong to say you’ll get high off it. Maybe you want to get high.”*
-
August 2021: “Houston CBD shop giving away free products for COVID vaccine” – $35,000 in product donated to encourage vaccination.
-
October 2021: “Texas ban over Delta 8” – Colin proactively removed all Delta-8 products before enforcement began and warned other operators.
-
October 2022: “Biden marijuana pardon” – Colin revealed his personal marijuana conviction history, adding weight to every prior statement.
-
April 2023: “Marijuana industry getting creative” – Colin’s “Renaissance” framing: “Right now is actually a pretty important time that should be enjoyed now.”
This isn’t marketing. It’s independently verified credibility from a major news organization that repeatedly identified OilWell as Houston’s go-to cannabis authority.
The OilWell RSO Philosophy: Four Core Principles
Our approach to RSO is built on four principles that solve real problems for people in Sweetwater County:
1. Accessibility Over Gatekeeping
- No medical card required – Unlike Texas’ Compassionate Use Program (TCUP), which requires a qualifying condition and a doctor’s approval, our products are available to anyone 21+.
- Nationwide and international shipping – We ship to Sweetwater County and beyond, making our RSO accessible to people who don’t live near dispensaries.
- Same-day delivery in Houston – While we can’t offer same-day delivery to Rock Springs yet, our Houston customers enjoy free delivery to the Texas Medical Center and fast service throughout the city.
2. Patient-Controlled Potency
Traditional RSO was always fully psychoactive. Our formula gives you three options:
- Raw (non-psychoactive): All 1,500 mg of THCa stays in its acidic form—perfect for daytime use when you need relief without impairment.
- Fully activated (home decarboxylation): Heat the oil at 260°F for 45-60 minutes to convert THCa into approximately 1,315 mg of delta-9 THC, giving you full psychoactive potency when you want it.
- Vape (instant decarboxylation): Our vape cartridge automatically converts THCa to delta-9 THC with each inhalation, providing fast relief in 1-2 minutes.
This design puts the potency decision in your hands—aligning with Rick Simpson’s principle that patients should control their own medicine, but implementing it through actual product chemistry.
3. Open-Source Formulas
We publish our complete formulas—every cannabinoid, every milligram amount—so that if you can’t afford our products, you can source the ingredients and make your own version.
This is a direct echo of Rick Simpson’s original ethos. Simpson gave his oil away for free and taught people how to make it. We sell a professionally manufactured, lab-tested product for those who want convenience and consistency, and we publish the complete recipe for those who want to DIY.
Here’s the actual CBD golden paste recipe that saved Bentley’s life—published for free on our website:
CBD Golden Paste Recipe
- 1/2 cup organic turmeric powder
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup coconut oil (unrefined, organic)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- CBD oil (dosage depends on needs)
Mix turmeric and water in a saucepan over low heat until thick. Add coconut oil and pepper. Cool and store in the refrigerator. Mix with CBD oil before serving.
4. Evidence-Informed, Not Evidence-Overstating
The GENERAL KNOWLEDGE section of this document represents our commitment to honest education about what the science actually says. We don’t exempt ourselves from the same evidence standards we apply to others.
Where the evidence is strong (like CBD for seizures), we say so confidently. Where it’s emerging (like CBG for neurologic disorders), we say so honestly. Where it’s weak (like CBN for sleep), we acknowledge the gap between marketing and evidence.
This approach makes our content the most trustworthy RSO education available in Sweetwater County.

The Science Behind Our Formula: Seven Cannabinoids for Sweetwater County Needs
Every cannabinoid in our formula has its own evidence profile. Here’s what the science says about each one—and how it might help people in Sweetwater County:
CBD (4,500 mg) – The Foundation
What it does: Non-psychoactive, anti-inflammatory, anxiolytic, neuroprotective
Sweetwater County relevance:
- Chronic pain: Ranchers, miners, and oil field workers in Sweetwater County deal with joint and back pain daily. CBD’s anti-inflammatory properties may help manage these issues without the risks of opioids.
- Anxiety and stress: The isolation of rural living can amplify mental health challenges. A 2024 systematic review found CBD has a statistically significant anxiolytic effect, though more research is needed.
- Epilepsy: While not common, epilepsy affects some families in Sweetwater County. CBD has the strongest human evidence of any cannabinoid for seizure disorders.
Safety note: CBD can interact with medications, especially those metabolized by the liver. If you’re taking prescription medications, consult your healthcare provider before use.
CBG (3,000 mg) – The Neuroprotector
What it does: Neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, potential antidepressant effects
Sweetwater County relevance:
- Neurodegeneration: CBG shows promise for protecting brain cells, which could be relevant for aging populations in Rock Springs and Green River.
- Inflammatory bowel disease: Sweetwater County has its share of digestive issues, and CBG may help regulate gut health.
- Mood support: A 2024 Washington State University study found that 20mg of hemp-derived CBG significantly reduced anxiety in humans.
Current status: CBG is scientifically credible but clinically immature. It’s being sold commercially while the evidence base is still developing.
Delta-8 THC (6,000 mg) – The Balanced Psychoactive
What it does: Psychoactive (less potent than delta-9 THC), analgesic, antiemetic, anxiolytic
Sweetwater County relevance:
- Pain management: Delta-8 THC may provide pain relief with less anxiety and paranoia than delta-9 THC.
- Nausea control: For people undergoing chemotherapy at Memorial Hospital of Sweetwater County, delta-8 THC may help manage treatment side effects.
- Appetite stimulation: Important for people dealing with cancer, HIV/AIDS, or other wasting conditions.
Important note: Delta-8 THC is psychoactive and can impair driving or operating machinery. It may also trigger positive drug tests.
THCa (1,500 mg) – The Patient-Controlled Powerhouse
What it does: Non-psychoactive in raw form, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective; converts to delta-9 THC when heated
Sweetwater County relevance:
- Daytime anti-inflammatory use: When used raw, THCa provides COX-2 inhibition without psychoactive effects—perfect for people who need to work or drive.
- Potency control: You decide whether to use it raw or decarboxylate it for full psychoactive potency.
- Neuroprotection: THCa shows promise for protecting brain cells, which could be relevant for traumatic brain injury (TBI) or neurodegenerative conditions.
Chemistry note: THCa converts to delta-9 THC when heated (260°F for 45-60 minutes). This conversion is what gives you patient-controlled potency.
Delta-9 THC (90 mg) – The Classic
What it does: Psychoactive, analgesic, antiemetic, appetite stimulant
Sweetwater County relevance:
- Pain relief: Delta-9 THC has the strongest evidence of any cannabinoid for pain management.
- Chemotherapy side effects: For cancer patients at Memorial Hospital, delta-9 THC may help with nausea and appetite loss.
- Sleep support: At low doses, delta-9 THC may help with sleep onset.
Safety note: Delta-9 THC carries the clearest psychoactive and safety liabilities. It can cause anxiety, tachycardia, and impairment. Start low and go slow.
CBN (750 mg) – The Sleep Support
What it does: Mildly sedating, potential sleep aid
Sweetwater County relevance:
- Sleep disorders: Sweetwater County has its share of shift workers and people with sleep issues. CBN may help improve sleep quality.
- Pain and inflammation: CBN may work synergistically with other cannabinoids for pain management.
Important caveat: CBN is often marketed as a powerful sleep aid, but the clinical evidence remains weak. A 2021 review found no strong human trials supporting this claim.
CBC (750 mg) – The Brain Booster
What it does: Neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, potential antidepressant effects
Sweetwater County relevance:
- Neurogenesis: CBC may support the growth of new brain cells, which could be relevant for aging or brain-injured populations.
- Pain and inflammation: CBC may work through different pathways than CBD or THC for pain relief.
- Mood support: Early research suggests CBC may have antidepressant effects.
Current status: CBC is translationally interesting but still early in the research process.
The Terpene Profile: Seven Terpenes for Sweetwater County
Terpenes are aromatic compounds that contribute to the flavor, aroma, and potential therapeutic effects of cannabis. Our formula includes seven terpenes at 5% concentration:
- Limonene (citrus-bright) – May support mood and stress relief
- Myrcene – Often associated with relaxation and sedation
- Caryophyllene (pepper/spice) – Unique as a terpene that also acts as a CB2 agonist
- Pinene (forest-fresh) – May support respiratory function and mental clarity
- Linalool (floral, lavender) – Associated with calming and anti-anxiety effects
- Humulene (earthy, woody) – May have anti-inflammatory properties
- Terpinolene (piney, fruity, sparkling) – Shows potential for antioxidant and sedative effects
Important note: While terpene bioactivity is plausible, the human clinical evidence for cannabis-specific terpene effects remains limited. Claims should be conservative.
How to Use RSO in Sweetwater County: Condition-Specific Guidance
Important disclaimer: The following usage contexts are informed by cannabinoid research and our formulation rationale. They are not medical prescriptions, not FDA-approved treatment protocols, and not a substitute for professional medical care. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before using cannabinoid products.
Chronic Pain (Arthritis, Back Pain, Neuropathy)
Common in Sweetwater County: The physical demands of mining, ranching, and oil field work mean chronic pain is a reality for many in our community.
Suggested approach:
- Daytime: 0.3-0.5 mL raw sublingual oil (provides anti-inflammatory cannabinoids without psychoactive impairment)
- Nighttime: 0.5-1.0 mL decarboxylated sublingual oil (combines pain relief with CBN sleep support)
- Breakthrough pain: Vape as needed for rapid onset
Evidence context: CBD and delta-9 THC have the strongest evidence for pain relief, while caryophyllene’s CB2 agonism and THCa’s COX-2 inhibition provide additional pathways.
Chemotherapy-Related Nausea and Appetite Support
Relevant for: Cancer patients at Memorial Hospital of Sweetwater County
Suggested approach:
- Pre-chemo: 0.5-1.0 mL sublingual oil 1 hour before treatment
- Acute nausea: 2-3 vape puffs for immediate relief (1-2 minute onset)
- Post-chemo: 0.5 mL sublingual every 6 hours as needed
- Sleep support: 1.0-2.0 mL sublingual before bed (delivers 25-50 mg CBN)
Evidence context: Delta-8 THC and delta-9 THC have strong evidence for antiemetic effects, while CBD may help buffer anxiety.
Sleep Support
Common issue: Shift work, stress, and chronic pain contribute to sleep disorders in Sweetwater County.
Suggested approach:
- Before bed: 1.0-2.0 mL sublingual oil
- At 2.0 mL: delivers 50 mg CBN (dosage level investigated in recent sleep literature)
- At 1.0 mL: delivers 25 mg CBN (above the 20 mg threshold associated with reduced sleep disturbance)
Evidence context: While CBN is often marketed for sleep, the clinical evidence remains weak. The combination of CBN with other cannabinoids may provide synergistic benefits.
Anxiety and Stress
Common in Sweetwater County: Rural isolation, economic pressures, and the challenges of modern life contribute to anxiety and stress.
Suggested approach:
- Daytime functional relief: 0.3 mL raw sublingual oil (CBD and CBG address anxiety pathways without psychoactive impairment)
- Nighttime: 1.0 mL sublingual oil (full cannabinoid profile including CBN for sleep architecture)
Evidence context: CBD has the strongest evidence for anxiety reduction among the cannabinoids in our formula.
General Titration Principle
Start low, go slow: Begin with 0.25-0.5 mL sublingual and assess effects over 2-3 hours before increasing. Individual responses vary based on body weight, metabolism, tolerance, and other factors.
Safety and Legal Considerations for Sweetwater County
Safety First
- Age requirement: 21+ for all RSO products
- Impairment: Delta-9 THC and activated THCa can impair driving and operating machinery. Do not drive or operate heavy equipment while under the influence.

Our formula gives you patient-controlled potency—you decide whether to use it raw or activated.
Can I use RSO for cancer?
The preclinical research on cannabinoids and cancer is scientifically interesting, but no human clinical trials have demonstrated that RSO or any cannabis oil cures cancer.
Important: Delaying or foregoing proven cancer treatments based on unproven claims can have devastating consequences. Always consult with your oncologist before using cannabinoid products as part of your treatment plan.
That said, cannabinoids may help manage cancer-related symptoms:
- Nausea and vomiting: Delta-8 THC and delta-9 THC have strong evidence for antiemetic effects.
- Pain: CBD and THC may help manage cancer-related pain.
- Appetite stimulation: THC may help with appetite loss.
- Sleep: CBN and other cannabinoids may support sleep during treatment.
Memorial Hospital of Sweetwater County has oncologists who can provide guidance on integrating cannabinoids into your treatment plan.
Will RSO show up on a drug test?
- Raw THCa: Should not trigger positive drug tests for THC.
- Delta-8 THC: May trigger positive drug tests, as many tests cannot distinguish between delta-8 and delta-9 THC.
- Activated THCa (decarboxylated): Will convert to delta-9 THC and trigger positive drug tests.
Sweetwater County note: Many employers in mining, oil and gas, and healthcare have drug testing policies. If you’re subject to drug testing, be aware that delta-8 THC and activated THCa may cause positive results.
How is OilWell RSO different from traditional RSO?
| Feature | Traditional RSO | OilWell RSO |
|---|---|---|
| Cannabinoid profile | THC-dominant, uncontrolled | Seven defined cannabinoids at specific ratios |
| Terpenes | Destroyed by high-heat process | Live terpenes at 5% with defined profile |
| Standardization | None—every batch different | Lab-tested with specific mg/mL targets |
| Solvents | Naphtha or isopropyl alcohol (toxic) | Solvent-free, MCT oil base |
| THCa preservation | No—fully decarboxylated | Yes—THCa included as separate ingredient |
| Dosing precision | Approximate, syringe-based | Measured per mL with graduated dropper |
| Product formats | Single thick oil only | Sublingual oil + vape cartridge |
| Evidence approach | Anecdotal, personal testimony | Research-backed, evidence-weighted |
How do I decarboxylate THCa to make the oil psychoactive?
To convert THCa to delta-9 THC:
- Preheat your oven to 260°F (125°C).
- Transfer the desired amount of oil to an oven-safe glass container (a small Pyrex dish works well).
- Place the container in the oven for 45-60 minutes.
- Remove and let cool before use.
Conversion math: 1,500 mg THCa → ~1,315 mg delta-9 THC after decarboxylation. Combined with the existing 90 mg delta-9 THC, this yields ~1,405 mg total delta-9 THC.
Pro tip: You can decarboxylate a portion of the oil and leave the rest raw for daytime use.
What’s the best way to take RSO for sleep?
For sleep support:
- Dosage: 1.0-2.0 mL sublingual oil before bed
- At 2.0 mL: delivers 50 mg CBN (dosage level investigated in recent sleep literature)
- At 1.0 mL: delivers 25 mg CBN (above the 20 mg threshold associated with reduced sleep disturbance)
Sweetwater County tip: The combination of CBN with other cannabinoids may provide better sleep support than CBN alone. The terpene linalool (lavender-like aroma) may also contribute to relaxation.
Can I use RSO for anxiety?
Yes, our formula includes several cannabinoids with anxiolytic potential:
- CBD: Strongest evidence for anxiety reduction
- CBG: Emerging evidence for anxiety support
- Limonene: Terpene that may support mood
Suggested approach:
- Daytime: 0.3 mL raw sublingual oil (CBD and CBG without psychoactive impairment)
- Nighttime: 1.0 mL sublingual oil (full cannabinoid profile including CBN for sleep)
Is RSO safe to use with medications?
Cannabinoids can interact with medications, especially those metabolized by the liver. Always consult your healthcare provider before using RSO with prescription medications.
Common interactions to be aware of:
- Blood thinners: CBD may increase the effects of blood-thinning medications.
- Sedatives: Cannabinoids may enhance sedative effects.
- Antidepressants: Potential interactions with SSRIs and other antidepressants.
- Antipsychotics: THC may interact with antipsychotic medications.
Sweetwater Medical Center has pharmacists who can provide guidance on potential drug interactions.
How long does RSO take to work?
Sublingual oil:
- Onset: 15-45 minutes
- Peak effects: 1-2 hours
- Duration: 4-6 hours
Vape cartridge:
- Onset: 1-2 minutes
- Peak effects: 10-15 minutes
- Duration: 2-4 hours
How should I store RSO?
- Store in a cool, dark place (like a cupboard or drawer)
- Avoid direct sunlight and heat (don’t leave it in your car during Wyoming summers)
- Keep the cap tightly closed to prevent oxidation
- Keep out of reach of children and pets
Can I travel with RSO?
Domestic travel within the U.S.:
- Our products are Farm Bill compliant (less than 0.3% delta-9 THC), so they should be legal to travel with domestically.
- TSA allows hemp-derived CBD products on flights, but policies can vary.
- Keep products in original packaging with COAs if possible.
International travel:
- Laws vary by country. Do not travel internationally with RSO without verifying local laws.
- Many countries have strict drug laws, and hemp-derived products may not be legal.
What’s the shelf life of RSO?
- Sublingual oil: 1-2 years when stored properly
- Vape cartridge: 1 year when stored properly
Tip: Write the date of purchase on the bottle to track freshness.
Can I use RSO topically?
While our sublingual oil is designed for oral use, it can technically be applied topically. However, for skin conditions, we recommend:
- Using a small amount (0.1-0.2 mL) on the affected area
- Covering with a bandage if needed
- Monitoring for skin irritation
Sweetwater County note: Some people in Rock Springs and Green River use topical cannabis products for localized pain relief. Our vape cartridge is not suitable for topical use.
How does OilWell RSO compare to other products available in Sweetwater County?
Since Wyoming doesn’t have legal dispensaries, most Sweetwater County residents access cannabis products through:
- Online CBD products: Typically single-cannabinoid (CBD only), with much lower total cannabinoid content than our RSO.
- Delta-8 products: Often contain only delta-8 THC, with no other cannabinoids or terpenes.
- Traditional black-market cannabis: Variable quality, no lab testing, potential contamination risks.
Comparison to popular online CBD products (e.g., Lazarus Naturals):
| Feature | Lazarus Naturals RSO (10 mL, 1,000 mg) | OilWell RSO (30 mL, 16,590 mg) |
|---|---|---|
| Total cannabinoids | 1,000 mg | 16,590 mg |
| CBD content | ~950 mg | 4,500 mg |
| CBG content | 15.5 mg | 3,000 mg |
| CBN content | 0.7 mg | 750 mg |
| Delta-8 THC | 0 mg | 6,000 mg |
| THCa (convertible to delta-9 THC) | Minimal | 1,500 mg (converts to ~1,315 mg delta-9 THC) |
| Psychoactive option | No meaningful psychoactive effect | Yes—via THCa decarboxylation and delta-8 THC |
| Price | $40-$50 | $129.99 |

The Science Behind Our Terpene Profile
Our formula includes seven terpenes at 5% concentration. Here’s what the research says about each one:
Limonene (Citrus-Bright)
- Potential benefits: Mood support, stress relief, antioxidant properties
- Research status: Mostly preclinical and review-based
- Sweetwater County connection: Limonene is found in citrus fruits, which are common in Wyoming cuisine. The bright, citrusy aroma may help uplift mood during long Wyoming winters.
Myrcene
- Potential benefits: Relaxation, sedation, anti-inflammatory effects
- Research status: Mostly preclinical; human evidence is limited
- Sweetwater County connection: Myrcene is found in hops, which are grown in some parts of Wyoming. The earthy, musky aroma may contribute to relaxation.
Caryophyllene (Pepper/Spice)
- Potential benefits: Anti-inflammatory, pain relief, CB2 agonist (unique among terpenes)
- Research status: Mechanistically interesting due to CB2 agonism; clinical evidence still developing
- Sweetwater County connection: Caryophyllene is found in black pepper, a staple in Wyoming kitchens. Its spicy aroma may enhance the sensory experience of our RSO.
Pinene (Forest-Fresh)
- Potential benefits: Respiratory support, mental clarity, anti-inflammatory effects
- Research status: Mostly preclinical; human evidence is limited
- Sweetwater County connection: Pinene is found in pine trees, which are abundant in Wyoming’s forests. The fresh, forest-like aroma may evoke the natural beauty of Sweetwater County.
Linalool (Floral, Lavender)
- Potential benefits: Calming, anti-anxiety, sleep support
- Research status: Mostly preclinical; some human evidence for anxiety reduction
- Sweetwater County connection: Linalool is found in lavender, which some Wyoming gardeners grow. The floral aroma may contribute to relaxation.
Humulene (Earthy, Woody)
- Potential benefits: Anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, appetite suppressant
- Research status: Mostly preclinical; emerging human interest
- Sweetwater County connection: Humulene is found in hops and sagebrush, both of which are part of Wyoming’s landscape. The earthy aroma may enhance the overall sensory profile.
Terpinolene (Piney, Fruity, Sparkling)
- Potential benefits: Antioxidant, sedative, potential anticancer effects
- Research status: Least clinically characterized of the seven terpenes; mostly preclinical
- Sweetwater County connection: Terpinolene is found in apples and conifers, which are part of Wyoming’s agricultural landscape. Its complex aroma adds depth to our terpene profile.
Important note: While terpene bioactivity is plausible, the human clinical evidence for cannabis-specific terpene effects remains limited. Claims should be conservative.
Real Stories from Real People: How RSO is Making a Difference
Bentley’s Story: From Paralysis to Playing Fetch
Bentley wasn’t just a dog—he was family. When veterinarians said euthanasia was the only humane option for his paralysis, Colin Valencia refused to give up. He created a CBD golden paste that saved Bentley’s life.
From paralyzed to playing fetch in days. Bentley lived another ten years, and during that time, Colin developed specialized cannabis formulas for every condition Bentley faced—neurodegeneration, dementia, glaucoma, arthritis.
This wasn’t academic research. This was real-world formulation development with real stakes. Bentley’s recovery showed that cannabis could do more than just get people high—it could provide real therapeutic benefits.
Colin’s Story: From PTSD to Peace
Colin Valencia knows what it’s like to be failed by conventional medicine. He struggled with severe PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction. When he decided to quit Xanax cold turkey—a notoriously difficult and dangerous process—he used the cannabinoid knowledge he’d developed keeping Bentley alive.
The Peace Gummies formula that became an OilWell product was created during midnight experiments while fighting through benzo withdrawal. Today, Colin personally uses the Peace Gummies vape to manage his insomnia and PTSD.
This isn’t theoretical knowledge. Colin lives what many RSO patients live—desperation for relief, failed pharmaceuticals, and the discovery that cannabinoids work when pills don’t.
Veteran Stories: Finding Relief After Service
Sweetwater County has a strong veteran community, and many veterans have found relief with OilWell’s products:
- Asshole Peach gummies: Our most popular product, favored by veterans for PTSD and pain relief.
- Peace Gummies: Developed from Colin’s benzo withdrawal experience, these help with anxiety and sleep.
- RSO: Many veterans use our RSO for chronic pain, insomnia, and PTSD symptoms.
One veteran from Rock Springs shared: “After years of opioids and antidepressants, I finally found something that helps without making me feel like a zombie. OilWell’s products give me my life back.”
Cancer Patient Stories: Managing Symptoms with Dignity
For cancer patients at Memorial Hospital of Sweetwater County, RSO can be a game-changer:
- Nausea relief: Delta-8 THC and delta-9 THC help manage chemotherapy-induced nausea.
- Pain management: CBD and THC provide relief from cancer-related pain.
- Appetite stimulation: THC helps with appetite loss during treatment.
- Sleep support: CBN and other cannabinoids help improve sleep quality.
One Green River resident undergoing chemotherapy said: “RSO doesn’t cure my cancer, but it makes the treatment bearable. I can eat, I can sleep, and I can spend quality time with my family.”
