Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) in Union County, Florida: The Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis

If you’re in Union County searching for Rick Simpson Oil — whether you’re a cancer patient in Lake Butler, a veteran managing PTSD in Raiford, or someone caring for a loved one with chronic pain — you’ve found the most comprehensive, honest resource available. We don’t just sell RSO; we publish our exact formulas, explain the science without hype, and trust you to make informed decisions. That’s the OilWell difference.

Understanding Rick Simpson Oil: What Union County Needs to Know

Who Was Rick Simpson, and Why Does His Story Matter Here?

Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor or scientist. He was a power engineer from Nova Scotia — a blue-collar tradesman whose life changed when doctors couldn’t help him. After a workplace injury left him with constant pain and tinnitus, conventional medicine failed him. Sound familiar? In Union County, where many of us work in logging, farming, or construction, we know what it means when pain lingers after an injury and pills don’t cut it.

Simpson’s doctor dismissed cannabis when he asked about it. So he made his own concentrated oil — what became known as Rick Simpson Oil. In 2003, he claimed that applying this oil to skin cancer lesions made them disappear in four days. Important context: No independent medical verification exists for this claim. It was his personal testimony, not clinical proof. But that story launched a global movement — including here in Union County, where desperate patients and caregivers started asking questions about cannabis oil.

The Traditional RSO Protocol: What Simpson Recommended

Simpson’s famous “60-gram/90-day protocol” was built around a crude, single-strain cannabis extract:

• Week 1: Start with a dose the size of half a grain of rice (10-15mg of oil) three times daily
• Weeks 2-5: Double every four days until reaching 1 gram per day divided into three doses
• Weeks 5-12: Maintain 1 gram daily until all 60 grams are consumed

At peak dosing, patients consumed roughly 600-900mg of THC daily — far exceeding anything studied in controlled clinical settings. Critical safety note for Union County readers: There are no randomized controlled trials validating this protocol. The doses carry real risks of severe intoxication, anxiety, tachycardia, and cannabis use disorder. For cancer patients in Union County who might be considering delaying proven treatments, this is especially concerning. Traditional RSO was never standardized, never lab-tested, and every batch varied wildly.

What Traditional RSO Actually Was

Simpson made his oil using naphtha (lighter fluid) or 99% isopropyl alcohol — neither food-grade. The process destroyed terpenes and left potential carcinogenic residues. The final product was a tar-black, thick oil with unknown potency and no quality control.

Why this matters in Union County: Many people here still make DIY extracts. We need you to understand the solvent risks. Naphtha contains benzene and toluene. Without lab testing (which doesn’t exist in Union County’s underground market), you can’t verify what’s in your oil. This isn’t theoretical — it’s about what you’re putting in your body.

OilWell Cannabis: Our Story, Our Mission

From McAllen to Montrose: How Adversity Built Our Purpose

OilWell Cannabis was founded by Colin Valencia in Houston, Texas. But the story starts in McAllen — right across from Reynosa, one of the most violent border regions. Colin grew up in that world, learning the plant long before legalization, watching friends get killed or imprisoned. He left home at sixteen. He knows what it means to be let down by systems that should protect people.

That experience shaped everything. OilWell isn’t a corporate creation — it’s a response to suffering. When Colin’s dog Bentley became paralyzed and veterinarians recommended euthanasia, he refused. A rescue worker asked: “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 for Bentley. The dog who was supposed to die got up, walked over, and brought his ball to play. Dogs don’t respond to placebo. Bentley lived ten more years, and those years became Colin’s real-world research lab.

While Bentley aged, Colin developed formulas for:

• Neurodegeneration → CBG neuroprotection, THCa PPARγ agonism
• Dementia → CBC neurogenesis
• Glaucoma → THC CB1 agonism
• Arthritis → Multi-pathway anti-inflammatory (CBD, CBG, THCa, caryophyllene)

Bentley’s journey taught us that single cannabinoids aren’t enough. Real conditions require multi-cannabinoid synergy. That principle — born from necessity, not marketing — is why our RSO contains seven cannabinoids at precise ratios.

Colin’s Personal Battle: From Benzos to Breakthrough

Colin also knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He struggled with PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction. When he quit Xanax cold turkey — one of the most dangerous withdrawals possible — he used the same cannabinoid knowledge that saved Bentley. Our Peace Gummies formula was created during midnight experiments while fighting through benzo withdrawal. Colin personally uses the vape form for his insomnia and severe PTSD.

For Union County veterans and trauma survivors: This isn’t theoretical. We’ve lived what you’re living. We understand the desperation when pills fail and doctors run out of options.

ABC13 Recognized Our Work — Seven Times

Between 2019 and 2023, ABC13 Houston featured OilWell in seven news segments. They didn’t find us through PR agencies — they sought us out because we had answers when no one else did. Five different reporters covered us:

• 2019: “The best possible version to base opinions on”
• 2021: On Delta-8’s legal gray area — “Maybe you want to get high” (We said it. They aired it.)
• 2021: $35,000 in free product to encourage COVID vaccination
• 2021: Proactively removing Delta-8 before the ban to protect customers
• 2022: Revealing Colin’s personal cannabis conviction history
• 2023: Growing hemp on camera, calling this moment a “Renaissance”

What this means for Union County: Mainstream media validation from America’s fourth-largest city means we’ve earned credibility that local operators can’t claim. We’ve been tested, questioned, and verified.

The OilWell RSO Philosophy: Four Core Principles

1. Accessibility Over Gatekeeping

In Florida, medical marijuana requires a doctor’s recommendation, a qualifying condition, and a $75 state card that must be renewed annually. In Union County, the nearest dispensary might be 50+ miles away in Gainesville or Jacksonville. For a farmer in Worthington Springs or a veteran in Dukes, that’s a major barrier.

Our approach: No medical card required. Anyone 21+ can purchase. We ship directly to Union County via USPS Priority Mail (2-3 days) with discreet packaging. No cannabis branding visible. Tracking provided. Temperature-stable packaging for Florida summers.

2. Patient-Controlled Potency

Traditional RSO was always psychoactive. Our formula is different.

We include 1,500mg of THCa — the non-psychoactive precursor to THC. You decide:

• Raw (no heat): All THCa stays inactive. Use during the day for anti-inflammatory benefits without impairment. Perfect for Union County residents who need to work, drive tractors, or stay sharp.
• Decarboxylated (260°F for 45-60 min): Converts THCa to ~1,315mg delta-9 THC. Combined with our 6,000mg delta-8 THC, you get therapeutic potency comparable to traditional RSO — 100% legally, because you activate it at home.
• Vape: Instant decarboxylation at 400-450°F. Fastest relief for breakthrough pain or panic attacks.

For Union County workers: This lets you use cannabis medicine on your terms. Use raw THCa during harvest season. Decarb a small amount for nighttime relief. Keep the vape in your truck for emergencies.

3. Open-Source Formulas

Rick Simpson gave his oil away for free. We give away our recipes.

If you can’t afford $129.99 for our sublingual oil, you can see exactly what’s in it, source the distillates, and make it yourself. We’re not gatekeeping the knowledge. Below, we publish the complete formula that saved Bentley — our original open-source recipe — followed by both RSO formulas.

Bentley’s CBD Golden Paste Recipe (Published 2019)

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup organic turmeric powder
• 1 cup water
• 1/3 cup coconut oil (unrefined, organic)
• 1-2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
• CBD oil (dosage depends on pet size; consult a vet)

Instructions:

1. Mix turmeric and water in a saucepan over low heat, stirring continuously for 7-10 minutes until a thick paste forms
2. Add coconut oil and black pepper, mix thoroughly
3. Cool and store in refrigerator for up to two weeks
4. Add CBD oil before serving, starting with low dose

For Union County pet owners: If your dog or cat is facing mobility issues, this is the exact recipe that got a paralyzed dog walking again. No placebo. Real results.

4. Evidence-Informed, Not Evidence-Overstating

We don’t hide behind “proprietary blends.” Every claim is tied to peer-reviewed research. You’ll find 29 citations throughout this document, each linking specific compounds to their evidence base.

What we will NEVER say: “This cures cancer.” “This replaces chemo.” “This is guaranteed to work.”

What we WILL say: “Here’s what the research shows. Here’s what it doesn’t. Here’s our formula. You decide.”

Florida Legal Framework: What Union County Residents Must Know

Farm Bill Compliance

Our RSO is legal in Florida and nationwide because of the 2018 Farm Bill. Here’s how it works:

• Delta-9 THC content: Only 90mg in the entire 30mL bottle — that’s 0.3% by weight, exactly at the federal legal limit
• All cannabinoids are hemp-derived from legal sources
• THCa is not delta-9 THC at point of sale. It’s the legal precursor
• Decarboxylation happens at home — you control the activation

Important for Union County: If you’re concerned about law enforcement in Bradford County or state troopers on Highway 100, rest assured: this product ships with full documentation, Certificates of Analysis, and receipts. It’s legal hemp under Florida law.

Florida’s Medical Marijuana Program vs. Our Approach

Florida’s Compassionate Use Program:

• Requires doctor’s recommendation and qualifying condition
• $75 state card, renewed annually
• Limited to 22 licensed dispensaries statewide
• Nearest to Union County: Gainesville, Palatka, or Jacksonville
• Products are THC-only or THC-dominant
• No multi-cannabinoid formulations like ours

OilWell’s Approach:

• No qualifying conditions needed
• No medical card required
• Ship directly to your Union County address
• 7-cannabinoid formula with non-psychoactive option
• Veteran’s discount program available
• Same-day support via phone (832) 416-2816

Bottom line for Union County residents: If you don’t want to drive to Gainesville, don’t qualify for Florida’s program, or prefer a multi-cannabinoid approach with patient-controlled potency, we’re your legal alternative.

For Cancer Patients in Union County

We know many of you are traveling to Gainesville’s Cancer Center or Jacksonville’s Mayo Clinic for treatment. RSO is often sought during chemotherapy for:

Nausea management:

• Pre-chemo: 0.5-1.0mL sublingual 1 hour before treatment
• Breakthrough nausea: 2-3 vape puffs (1-2 minute onset)
• Evidence: Delta-8 THC shows antiemetic properties [9]; delta-9 THC is FDA-approved for chemo nausea [1][13]

Appetite support:

• Post-chemo: 0.5mL sublingual every 6 hours as needed
• The delta-9 THC (even at 90mg total) may help with the wasting syndrome common during treatment

Sleep during treatment:

• Nighttime: 1.0-2.0mL sublingual delivers 25-50mg CBN
• Studies show CBN may promote sleep at these levels [16][17]

Important for Union County cancer patients: RSO should complement, never replace, your oncologist’s treatment plan. The nearest oncology centers are in Gainesville (UF Health), Jacksonville (Mayo, Baptist), and Lake City (VA). If you’re considering RSO, discuss it with your care team.

For Veterans with PTSD in Union County

Union County has a strong veteran community. Many served in Iraq, Afghanistan, or Vietnam. We know the VA in Lake City has long wait times for mental health services. Our formula was designed for this:

Daytime anxiety management:

• 0.3mL raw sublingual (non-psychoactive)
• Provides CBD and CBG for anxiolytic support [3][7][8]
• Limonene may help buffer stress responses [20]

Nighttime trauma processing:

• 1.0mL decarbed sublingual or vape
• Delta-8 THC provides PTSD symptom relief without delta-9’s intensity [9]
• Colin personally uses this formula for his severe PTSD

Critical for veterans: If you’re on medications, consult your doctor. CBD can interact with some drugs processed by the liver [6]. Our Peace Gummies (from Colin’s benzo withdrawal experience) are also available if you prefer an edible format.

For Chronic Pain (Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Neuropathy)

Union County’s agricultural and logging workers know chronic pain. Climbing ladders, operating equipment, years of physical labor take a toll:

Daytime function:

• 0.3-0.5mL raw sublingual for anti-inflammatory effects
• THCa inhibits COX-2 (like ibuprofen) without stomach damage [12]
• Caryophyllene activates CB2 receptors for pain relief [24]

Nighttime recovery:

• 0.5-1.0mL decarbed sublingual for deeper relief
• CBN helps with sleep architecture, crucial for pain recovery [16][17]

Breakthrough pain:

• Vape as needed for 1-2 minute onset

For Farmers and Outdoor Workers

Your job requires you to be sharp, operate machinery, and stay functional. Traditional RSO’s constant psychoactivity doesn’t work for your life. Our patient-controlled potency does:

During work hours: Use raw THCa formula (0.25-0.5mL) — zero impairment
After work: Decarb a small amount for evening relaxation
Weekends: Activate full potency when you don’t need to operate equipment

This flexibility is why we preserved THCa. You shouldn’t have to choose between pain relief and your livelihood.

How to Choose Your Format

Competitive Landscape: Why OilWell Stands Apart

We won’t name other brands, but Union County residents shopping online or driving to Jacksonville dispensaries should know the facts:

vs. Florida Dispensary RSO:

• Dispensary RSO is THC-only (≈420mg per 0.5g syringe)
• Requires medical card and qualifying condition
• No CBG, CBN, CBC, or delta-8 THC
• Always psychoactive — no raw THCa option
• You must drive to Gainesville, Palatka, or Jacksonville

OilWell RSO:

• 7 cannabinoids: 4,500mg CBD, 3,000mg CBG, 6,000mg delta-8 THC, 1,500mg THCa, 90mg delta-9 THC, 750mg CBN, 750mg CBC
• No medical card required — age 21+
• Patient-controlled potency: keep THCa raw or decarb at home
• Ships directly to your Union County address
• Legal under Farm Bill (0.3% delta-9 THC)

vs. Hemp CBD RSO:

• Most hemp RSO contains only 1,000mg total cannabinoids
• Primarily CBD with trace amounts of others
• No psychoactive option available
• OilWell: 16,590mg total cannabinoids across 7 compounds

The bottom line for Union County: You get more cannabinoids, more control, and legal access without leaving home.

Evidence-Based Education: The Science Behind Each Compound

We include 29 peer-reviewed citations because Union County residents deserve the truth, not marketing.

CBD (4,500mg)

• Strongest evidence: Rare epilepsies (FDA-approved Epidiolex) [1][2]
• Anxiety: 2024 meta-analysis shows significant anxiolytic effect, but sample sizes remain limited [3]
• Pain: Promising but heterogeneous; trial quality varies [4]
• Sleep: Methodologically weak studies, needs more research [5]
• Safety: Can elevate liver enzymes; interacts with some medications [6]

For Union County residents on multiple prescriptions: Discuss with your doctor before adding CBD.

CBG (3,000mg)

• Evidence: Primarily preclinical and review-level [7][8]
• Potential: Neurologic disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, antibacterial activity
• Reality: Commercial products outpace the science [7]
• Bottom line: Promising but not clinically proven [8]

Delta-8 THC (6,000mg)

• Pharmacology: Partial CB1 agonist, less potent than delta-9 [9]
• Comparison: Similar effects to delta-9 but milder
• Safety concerns: Manufacturing quality varies; public health data emerging [10][11]
• Bottom line: Psychoactive, not benign, needs more human safety data [9]-[11]

For Union County consumers: Don’t assume “hemp-derived” means risk-free. Delta-8 is real THC.

THCa (1,500mg)

• Chemistry: Non-psychoactive precursor to THC [12]
• Conversion: 1mg THCa → 0.877mg delta-9 THC when heated [12]
• Potential: Anti-inflammatory via COX-2, neuroprotective via PPARγ [12]
• Bottom line: Acidic form is inactive, but heat changes everything [12]

Delta-9 THC (90mg)

• Strongest evidence: Chemo nausea, HIV/AIDS appetite loss (FDA-approved dronabinol) [1][13]
• Pain: Effective short-term but increased side effects vs. CBD [13]
• Mental health risks: High-concentration products linked to psychosis, CUD [15]
• Safety: Impairment, dependency, withdrawal, pregnancy concerns [1][14][15]

For Union County: Our 90mg total is intentionally low for legal compliance. You add potency via THCa decarboxylation.

CBN (750mg)

• Marketing vs. reality: Widely marketed for sleep, but clinical evidence is weak [16]
• 2021 review: No clinical trials using validated sleep questionnaires found [16]
• 2024 update: Need for better-designed trials remains substantial [17]
• Bottom line: Reputation exceeds current evidence [16][17]

CBC (750mg)

• Emerging evidence: Distinct pharmacology, interesting preclinical data [18][19]
• Potential: Antinociceptive, antibacterial, anti-seizure [18]
• Reality: Over-the-counter products already selling with little safety data [18]
• Bottom line: Credible research target, not yet validated therapy [18][19]

Terpenes: The Real Story

Our 5% live terpene profile includes limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene, linalool, humulene, and terpinolene. But let’s be honest:

Evidence reality: Most terpene research is preclinical, from essential oils, or non-cannabis plants. Human clinical proof of “entourage effects” is limited [20][29]. We include them because the science is plausible and they improve the experience, but we don’t overstate.

Caryophyllene is most interesting as a CB2 agonist [24]. Limonene has documented allergen concerns when oxidized [22]. Myrcene, pinene, linalool show preclinical promise but lack human trials [20][23][25][26]. Humulene and terpinolene are early-stage research [27][28].

Bottom line for Union County: Terpenes make the product smell and taste better, and may contribute subtly to effects. But they’re not magic bullets.

Safety First: What Union County Needs to Know

Before You Start

1. Consult your doctor if you have:

   • Liver disease (CBD can affect enzymes) [6]
   • Heart conditions (THC affects blood pressure) [1]
   • Are pregnant or nursing [1]
   • Take medications (especially blood thinners, seizure meds, or sedatives)

2. Start low, go slow:

   • First-time users: Start with 0.25mL (≈138mg total cannabinoids)
   • Wait 2-3 hours to assess effects
   • Increase gradually

3. Impairment warnings:

   • Raw THCa: No impairment
   • Decarbed product: Do not drive or operate machinery
   • Vape: Impairment within minutes

Florida-Specific Considerations

Drug testing: THCa in raw form won’t cause positive THC tests. Decarbed or vaped product will. If your employer in Union County tests (many agricultural and trucking companies do), use raw form only.

Workplace policies: Florida employers can maintain drug-free workplaces. Our products are legal, but you must know your company’s policy.

Storage in Florida heat: Keep products in a cool, dark place. Florida’s heat and humidity can degrade cannabinoids over time. Don’t leave in a hot car or barn.

Children and pets: Florida has strict child protection laws. Keep all cannabis products locked away from children. Our golden paste recipe is for pets only — use appropriate dosing.

When to Use Each Format in Union County Life

Morning chores (feeding livestock, checking fences): Raw sublingual (0.3mL) — no impairment, anti-inflammatory support

Midday breakthrough pain: 2-3 vape puffs — fast relief before returning to work

Evening wind-down: Decarbed sublingual (0.5mL) — full therapeutic effects for rest

Weekend fishing or hunting: Raw sublingual or low-dose (0.2mL) — stay sharp, stay legal, stay comfortable

The Evidence Connection: Why This Matters

Every cannabinoid and terpene in our formula is listed because of research. Not hype. Not trend. Science.

When we say CBG is included for neuroprotection, we cite the pharmacology review [7][8]. When we mention CBN for sleep, we acknowledge the evidence is weak [16][17]. When we discuss delta-8 THC’s antiemetic properties, we reference the comparative pharmacology study [9].

This is what Union County deserves: The truth, with citations you can verify, from a company that’s been vetted by major media, founded by someone who’s lived the struggle you’re facing.

Our Promise to Union County

We can’t promise miracles. No one can. But we promise:

Colin Valencia said it best in 2019: “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.”

That philosophy hasn’t changed. It’s just grown into the most comprehensive RSO formula available to Union County.
