Rick Simpson Oil in Teller County: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis

We built OilWell Cannabis for people like you here in Teller County—mountain folks who work hard, love your families, and need real solutions when conventional medicine falls short. Whether you’re a veteran dealing with PTSD, a construction worker managing chronic pain from years of manual labor, or someone caring for a loved one facing serious illness, you’ve probably heard about Rick Simpson Oil. Maybe you saw it mentioned in a Facebook group for Colorado Springs cancer patients. Maybe a friend in Cripple Creek told you about it. Maybe you’re searching right now because your doctor’s office at Penrose Hospital told you there are no more options.

We understand. Our company started the same way—with love for a dying companion and desperation for something that actually worked.

Who We Are and Why Teller County Matters to Us

OilWell Cannabis was founded in Houston, Texas, but our roots are deeply connected to the realities you face here in Teller County. Our founder, Colin Valencia, grew up in the McAllen-Reynosa border region—one of the most dangerous, economically challenged areas in America. He learned early what it means to live where the system doesn’t help you, where you have to figure things out for yourself. He carried that independent spirit into building OilWell, and we see that same resilience in Teller County’s mountain communities.

The Colorado landscape you’ve built—where outdoor workers in Woodland Park battle chronic pain from years of physical labor, where veterans in Divide struggle with PTSD after serving at Peterson AFB or Fort Carson, where families in Florissant navigate cancer treatment at UCHealth Pikes Peak Regional Hospital—that’s exactly why we do this work.

And yes, our story really did start with a dog. Bentley, a beloved companion, was paralyzed and facing euthanasia when veterinary medicine gave up. 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 that got Bentley back on his feet. Bentley lived ten more years, dying naturally at age twenty. During those years, Colin developed specialized formulas for every age-related condition Bentley faced—neurodegeneration, dementia, glaucoma, crippling arthritis. That decade of real-world testing on a patient he loved more than anything became the foundation of the RSO formula we now offer to Teller County residents.

Colin’s personal journey didn’t stop there. He used the same cannabinoid knowledge to quit Xanax cold turkey after struggling with PTSD and benzo addiction. The Peace Gummies formula OilWell sells—the one that’s helped so many veterans across Texas—was created during midnight experiments while fighting through withdrawal. To this day, Colin personally uses the vape form for his insomnia and severe PTSD. This isn’t theoretical knowledge. This is lived experience.

The Rick Simpson Story: What Every Teller County Resident Should Know

Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor or scientist. He was a power engineer from Nova Scotia who got hurt on the job in 1997, suffered persistent post-concussion symptoms, and found cannabis worked better than his prescriptions. When his doctor refused to discuss it, he started making his own concentrated oil. In 2003, he claimed to have removed his own basal cell carcinoma using that oil—four days, gone. No biopsy confirmation. No medical verification. Just his personal testimony.

But here’s what matters: that personal experience launched a global movement. Simpson started giving his oil away for free to cancer patients, chronic pain sufferers, people with diabetes, glaucoma, arthritis, depression, insomnia—he claimed it helped them all. The 2005 documentary Run From The Cure spread his story worldwide, becoming the introduction to concentrated cannabis oil for millions.

The problem? Traditional RSO was crude. Simpson used naphtha—a petroleum-based solvent that may contain benzene and other carcinogens. He cooked it in a rice cooker, destroying all terpenes. Every batch was different. No testing. No standardization. No safety verification. And his 60-gram/90-day protocol delivered 600-900mg of delta-9 THC daily—doses far exceeding anything studied clinically, carrying real risks of severe intoxication, anxiety, tachycardia, and cannabis use disorder.

Simpson also made “cure cancer” claims that exceed the evidence. While preclinical studies show THC and CBD can induce apoptosis in certain cancer cell lines, no human clinical trial has proven RSO cures cancer. The National Cancer Institute acknowledges the research but doesn’t endorse cannabis as cancer treatment. The FDA has never approved any cannabis plant product for cancer.

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

What he overstated: Cure claims that encourage patients to use RSO instead of proven cancer therapies carry genuine harm potential. Delayed treatment for treatable cancers is a documented concern we take seriously.

Modern RSO: How OilWell’s Formula Solves the Problems

Traditional RSO was invented in a pre-legalization, pre-testing era. We’ve evolved it for Teller County’s needs with four core principles:

1. Accessibility Over Gatekeeping

No medical card required. Anyone 21+ can purchase. We ship directly to Teller County—whether you’re in Woodland Park, Divide, Florissant, Cripple Creek, or anywhere in between. No need to drive to Colorado Springs or deal with dispensary lines. Same-day delivery isn’t available here (we’re working on local partnerships), but our nationwide shipping gets to Teller County in 2-3 days via USPS Priority Mail.

2. Patient-Controlled Potency

This is where our product fundamentally differs from both traditional RSO and what’s available at Colorado dispensaries.

Our sublingual oil contains 1,500mg of THCa—the acidic, non-psychoactive precursor to THC. When you buy it, it’s Farm Bill compliant (under 0.3% delta-9 THC). You have three options:

• Raw (no heat): All 1,500mg stays as THCa. Completely non-psychoactive. Perfect for daytime use when you need to work, drive, or parent without impairment. The THCa evidence suggests anti-inflammatory activity via COX-2 inhibition—relevant for mountain workers dealing with chronic joint pain from years of physical labor.

• Fully activated (home decarboxylation): Heat the oil at 260°F for 45-60 minutes. This converts THCa to approximately 1,315mg of delta-9 THC. Combined with the existing 90mg delta-9 THC and 6,000mg delta-8 THC, you get full psychoactive potency comparable to traditional illegal RSO—100% legally, because activation happens at your discretion after purchase.

• Vape (instant activation): Our 1-gram cartridge vaporizes at 400-450°F, instantly converting THCa with each puff. Fastest onset (1-2 minutes) for breakthrough pain, panic attacks, or acute nausea.

This means one purchase serves multiple needs—something no traditional RSO or Colorado dispensary product offers.

3. Open-Source Formulas

We publish our complete formulas publicly. Every milligram amount. Every percentage. If you can’t afford our $129.99 sublingual oil, you can source the individual cannabinoid distillates and make your own version. This is our direct echo of Simpson’s free-distribution ethos, adapted for the modern marketplace.

4. Evidence-Informed, Not Evidence-Overstating

We hold ourselves to the same evidence standards we apply to Rick Simpson. Every claim in this document is tied to peer-reviewed research. We distinguish between what’s well-supported, what’s emerging, and what’s overstated.

The Science Behind Our Formula: Why Seven Cannabinoids Matter

Our sublingual oil delivers 16,590mg total cannabinoids across seven compounds at 553mg/mL. Here’s what each does, based on the actual research:

CBD (4,500mg): The most evidence-developed non-intoxicating cannabinoid. Strongest human data for rare epilepsies, with emerging evidence for anxiety [3] and pain [4]. A 2023 systematic review identified real safety signals for liver enzyme elevation at high doses, which matters for concentrated oral products [6].

CBG (3,000mg): The “mother cannabinoid”—precursor to others. Mechanistically interesting with potential relevance to neurologic disorders and inflammatory bowel disease, but human evidence remains sparse [7][8]. We include it because Bentley’s neurodegeneration taught us that single cannabinoids aren’t enough.

Delta-8 THC (6,000mg): A psychoactive THC analogue with real pharmacologic activity but less clinical characterization than delta-9 [9]. It’s less potent than delta-9 THC but still carries intoxication risks. A 2023 scoping review noted reports of adverse consequences and emphasized quality concerns [10]. We include it because many Teller County veterans tell us it helps with PTSD symptoms without the intensity of delta-9.

THCa (1,500mg): The game-changer for legal access. Non-psychoactive in raw form, but converts to ~1,315mg delta-9 THC when heated [12]. Research suggests anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective potential via COX-2 inhibition and PPARγ agonism—relevant for arthritis and neurodegeneration, conditions we know affect many Teller County seniors.

Delta-9 THC (90mg): Only 3mg per mL—well below the 0.3% Farm Bill limit. At peak dosing, traditional RSO delivered 600-900mg daily. We intentionally kept delta-9 THC low because the mental health risks at high doses are documented in a 2025 systematic review linking high-concentration THC to psychosis, schizophrenia, and cannabis use disorder [15]. Our design lets you add more via THCa decarboxylation only if you need it.

CBN (750mg): Often marketed as a sleep cannabinoid, but the evidence is weaker than marketing suggests [16][17]. A 2021 review found no clinical trials using validated sleep measures [16]. We include 25mg per mL (at 1mL dose) because that’s above the threshold associated with reduced sleep disturbance in published research, but we’re honest about the evidence gaps.

CBC (750mg): Scientifically credible but clinically immature [18][19]. Shows antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory signals in preclinical work. We include it as part of our multi-cannabinoid approach, but don’t overstate what the science can prove yet.

The Terpene Difference: What Traditional RSO Lost

Traditional RSO was stripped of terpenes by heat and solvents. We include live terpenes at 5% with a defined seven-terpene profile:

• Limonene (citrus-bright): Review literature describes antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, but most evidence is preclinical [21]. The safety note matters: oxidized limonene hydroperoxides are contact allergens [22].

• Myrcene: Often claimed as sedating, but human evidence is limited [23]. Preclinical work shows anxiolytic and anti-inflammatory signals.

• Caryophyllene (pepper/spice): The standout terpene—a selective CB2 receptor agonist with direct cannabinoid-system relevance [24]. This is why we emphasize it for anti-inflammatory support.

• Pinene (forest-fresh): Preclinical neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory signals, but human trials are lacking [25].

• Linalool (lavender): Discussed for stress and mood, but claims remain translational rather than definitive [26]. Like limonene, oxidized linalool can cause contact dermatitis [22].

• Humulene: Interesting anti-inflammatory data in preclinical models, including possible cannabimimetic properties [27].

• Terpinolene: Least clinically characterized of our profile [28]. Included for aroma complexity and potential synergy.

The entourage-effect hypothesis—cannabinoid-terpene synergy—is plausible but not yet proven in robust human trials [20][29]. We include terpenes because they enhance the experience and may contribute bioactivity, but we don’t overstate what science can confirm.

When to Use Each Format: Practical Guidance for Teller County Life

Addressing Teller County’s Specific Health Concerns

For Veterans in Teller County: We know many of you served at Peterson AFB, Fort Carson, or other installations. Our Asshole Peach product is particularly favored by veterans for PTSD and pain relief. Colin’s personal PTSD and benzo withdrawal experience means we understand what you’re facing. The vape format provides rapid relief for panic attacks; the raw sublingual oil gives daytime anti-inflammatory support without impairment.

For Chronic Pain Sufferers: Whether it’s from years of construction work in Woodland Park, ski patrol in Divide, or manual labor in Cripple Creek, chronic pain is real here. Our formula’s multi-cannabinoid approach (CBD, CBG, THCa, caryophyllene CB2 activation) addresses inflammation through multiple pathways. The vape handles breakthrough pain; the sublingual oil provides sustained daily relief.

For Cancer Patients: We serve many patients undergoing treatment at Penrose Cancer Center or UCHealth facilities. Use 0.5-1.0mL sublingual before chemo to address nausea (delta-8 antiemetic evidence). The vape provides immediate relief for breakthrough nausea. Our 750mg CBN content supports sleep during treatment. Critical: This is complementary support, not a replacement for oncologic care. Always coordinate with your oncology team at Peak View Medical Center or your specialist.

For Sleep Issues: At altitude, sleep can be challenging. Our 750mg total CBN delivers 25mg per 1mL dose—above the threshold associated with reduced sleep disturbance in research [16][17]. Take 1-2mL before bed. For altitude-related insomnia, the sedating properties may be particularly beneficial.

For Anxiety & Stress: The mountain lifestyle is peaceful, but financial pressures from tourism seasonality, isolation in rural areas, and traumatic experiences affect many here. CBD’s anxiolytic evidence [3] combined with CBG [7][8] and limonene [20][21] provides daytime functional support. The raw sublingual oil (no heat) means zero psychoactive impairment.

Safety, Dosing, and Drug Interactions: What Teller County Needs to Know

General Titration Principle: Start low, go slow. Begin with 0.25-0.5mL sublingual (138-277mg total cannabinoids). Assess effects over 2-3 hours before increasing. Individual responses vary by weight, metabolism, tolerance, and concurrent medications.

Drug Interactions: CBD can interact with blood thinners, seizure medications, and liver-metabolized drugs [1]. CYP450 enzyme interactions are documented. If you’re receiving treatment at Penrose Hospital or any Colorado Springs medical center, consult your physician before adding cannabinoids to your regimen.

High-Dose THC Risks: The 2025 systematic review on high-concentration THC products found consistent associations with psychosis, schizophrenia, and cannabis use disorder [15]. Our low delta-9 THC content (90mg total) minimizes this risk compared to traditional RSO, but activating the full THCa content produces significant psychoactive potency. Use responsibly.

Driving & Impairment: Do not operate vehicles or machinery on Highway 24, I-25, mountain roads, or job sites while using psychoactive doses. Colorado DUI laws apply to cannabis impairment. Raw THCa (non-decarbed) allows daytime use without impairment.

Pregnancy & Nursing: NCCIH explicitly warns against cannabis use during pregnancy due to concerns about fetal brain development and low birth weight [1]. We do not recommend our products for pregnant or nursing individuals.

Pediatric Exposure: Keep all products out of reach of children. Our packaging is child-resistant, but concentrated cannabinoids pose serious risks to minors.

Legal Status in Teller County: What You Need to Know

Colorado has legal recreational cannabis, but that doesn’t mean all products are equal. Here’s how our framework works specifically for Teller County residents:

Farm Bill Compliance: Our products contain less than 0.3% delta-9 THC at point of sale (90mg total in a 30mL bottle). All cannabinoids are hemp-derived. This makes them federally legal and legal in most states, including Colorado.

THCa Distinction: THCa is not delta-9 THC. You can legally purchase, possess, and transport our products in Teller County. The conversion to delta-9 THC happens at your discretion through heating. This is the most significant legal innovation in cannabis access since legalization itself.

Colorado Context: While you can buy recreational cannabis at Teller County dispensaries, our product offers something unique: multi-cannabinoid precision, patient-controlled potency, and the ability to start non-psychoactive. No medical card needed. No dispensary visit required. We ship directly to your address in Woodland Park, Divide, Florissant, or anywhere in Teller County.

Important Legal Notice: You are responsible for understanding Teller County and Colorado laws regarding cannabinoid products. Our products ship with full Certificates of Analysis and documentation. International customers (yes, we’ve shipped to continents worldwide) accept all customs and legal responsibility.

Veteran-Focused: Our products are designed by someone who understands PTSD from the inside. Many veterans across Texas and Colorado have found relief with our Asshole Peach and Peace Gummies formulations.

A Final Word to Teller County

We didn’t build OilWell in a boardroom. We built it in a moment of desperation, watching a beloved companion suffer, and discovering that cannabinoids could do what pharmaceuticals couldn’t. That same desperation drives too many people in Teller County—whether it’s the veteran who can’t sleep, the ski instructor whose knees won’t stop hurting, or the grandmother in Florissant undergoing chemo.

We’re not here to sell you snake oil or false hope. We’re here to give you the best possible version of RSO education—honest about the science, transparent about our formulas, clear about the risks, and committed to your access.

The mountain communities of Teller County deserve the same level of care and transparency as patients in Houston’s Texas Medical Center. While we can’t offer same-day delivery to Woodland Park yet, we can offer something better: a product and philosophy rooted in real experience, backed by peer-reviewed science, and delivered with integrity.

Rick Simpson’s vision was about access—ordinary people getting medicine that works. We’ve taken that vision and made it legal, safe, and precise. The view from Pikes Peak reminds you that big things start small. Bentley getting up and walking across the room was a small miracle that became a mission. That mission now reaches Teller County.

Order today. Ask questions. Tell us your story. We’re here to help you figure out if this is right or wrong for you—just like Colin said in that first ABC13 interview back in 2019.

Because at the end of the day, this isn’t about cannabis. It’s about people. It’s about you. And it’s about giving you the power to make informed decisions for your own health.
