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

If you’re reading this from Washington County, you already know the challenge. Out here on Colorado’s Eastern Plains, where wheat fields stretch to the horizon and the nearest full-service hospital is a two-hour drive away, access to alternative medicine isn’t a convenience—it’s a necessity. When conventional treatments fall short, when the pharmacy in Akron doesn’t have what you need, when the pain from decades of ranch work keeps you up at night, you start looking for real solutions that actually work.

That’s why we’ve created this comprehensive guide specifically for Washington County residents. Whether you’re in Akron, Wray, Otis, or living on a ranch twenty miles from the nearest paved road, you deserve honest, science-based information about Rick Simpson Oil—what it is, what it can and cannot do, and how our Farm Bill-compliant, multi-cannabinoid formula might fit into your health journey.

We know Washington County. We know the self-reliance that comes from working land that doesn’t give up its harvest easily. We know the skepticism toward anything that sounds too good to be true. And we know the desperation that comes when you’re facing a cancer diagnosis, chronic pain that prescription drugs can’t touch, or PTSD that keeps you from enjoying the sunrise over your fields. This guide is written for you—with the depth of detail you need to make an informed decision, no hype, no shortcuts.

Who is Rick Simpson? Understanding the RSO Origin Story in Washington County Context

Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor. He was a blue-collar power engineer from Nova Scotia, a tradesman like many of our neighbors here in Washington County—people who work with their hands, who understand machinery, and who don’t trust easy answers. His path to cannabis began in 1997 when he fell from scaffolding at a hospital in Moncton, suffering a head injury that left him with persistent tinnitus and dizziness. The medications doctors prescribed either didn’t help or made things worse. Sound familiar? How many folks in Washington County have been through that same cycle—injury at work, ineffective pills, and a doctor who dismisses cannabis as an option?

Simpson discovered that cannabis provided more relief than pharmaceuticals, but when he asked his physician for support, the request was refused. That rejection—experienced by countless Washington County patients who’ve brought up cannabis to their doctors in Sterling or Yuma—set him on a different path.

The 1974 THC Study That Sparked Everything

Simpson’s interest deepened after learning about a 1974 NIH-funded study at the Medical College of Virginia that reported THC slowed or shrank tumors in mice. That study, originally intended to demonstrate harm, became his foundational reference point—even though its findings were never replicated in controlled human cancer trials. It’s important for our Washington County readers to understand this: the science that inspired Simpson was real, but it was also preliminary and never advanced to human validation.

Important context for Washington County researchers: While this 1974 study wasn’t replicated in humans, Colorado has become a leader in cannabis research. The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora has active cannabinoid research programs. For Washington County residents enrolled in clinical studies or those who travel to Denver for specialized care, this research context matters.

The 2003 Basal Cell Carcinoma Story: Fact vs. Testimony

The pivotal moment came in 2003 when Simpson reported that three bumps on his arm, diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma, disappeared after four days of applying concentrated cannabis oil. No independent medical verification was published. No biopsy confirmation exists in any peer-reviewed source. This is not medical evidence—it’s personal testimony. But it’s historically significant because it launched a global movement.

For Washington County residents facing skin cancer—perhaps from decades of outdoor work under the intense Eastern Plains sun—stories like this resonate powerfully. We share them not as proof, but as context for why RSO became a phenomenon. If you’re dealing with skin cancer, Washington County has excellent dermatologists at Sterling Regional MedCenter and through Northeast Colorado Health Department clinics, and those proven treatments should always be your first line of care.

Simpson’s “Crusade” and Why It Matters to Rural Colorado

After 2003, Simpson began producing oil in Maccan, Nova Scotia, and giving it away for free to cancer patients and others. He claimed to help people with cancer, chronic pain, diabetes, infections, glaucoma, arthritis, depression, insomnia, and more—conditions that are endemic in Washington County’s aging agricultural population. The documentary Run From The Cure (2005) spread his story globally, becoming the introduction to RSO for many, including likely some Washington County residents who first heard about concentrated cannabis oil through online forums or patient support groups.

But Simpson’s advocacy brought legal conflict. The RCMP raided his property in 2005 and 2009. He faced cultivation and trafficking charges, eventually leaving Canada for Europe. This history is directly relevant to Washington County because it parallels Colorado’s own journey—from cannabis prohibition to being the first state to legalize adult-use cannabis. Many Washington County residents remember when cannabis was completely illegal, and some still carry the stigma. OilWell’s approach represents the evolution from that underground world to fully legal, tested, compliant products.

The Traditional RSO Protocol: What Simpson Actually Recommended

For Washington County readers researching RSO online, you’ll inevitably encounter Simpson’s famous 60-gram, 90-day protocol. Here it is, documented completely and honestly:

Simpson’s 60-Gram Protocol Details

Goal: Consume 60 grams (approximately 60 mL) of concentrated cannabis oil over roughly 90 days. Simpson considered this the minimum for serious cancer treatment.

Week 1: Start with a dose the size of half a grain of dry rice—about 10-15mg—taken three times daily. That’s 30-45mg total per day.

Weeks 2-5: Double the dose every four days until reaching approximately 1 gram (1,000mg) per day, divided into three equal doses. This means by week five, you’re consuming roughly 333mg per dose, three times daily.

Weeks 5-12: Maintain 1 gram per day until all 60 grams are consumed.

Administration Methods

• Oral/sublingual: Primary method—place under tongue or swallow for systemic absorption
• Topical: For skin cancers, apply directly and cover with bandage, changing every 3-4 days
• Inhalation: Simpson acknowledged vaping for immediate symptom relief but didn’t consider it primary treatment

Critical Safety Context for Washington County

This protocol has never been validated in controlled human trials. The peak dosing phase delivers approximately 600-900mg of delta-9 THC daily—far exceeding anything studied clinically. For context, the FDA-approved synthetic THC drug dronabinol is typically dosed at 2.5-20mg per day. At 600-900mg daily, you’re taking 30-360 times the standard pharmaceutical dose.

Real risks at these doses include:

• Severe intoxication and impairment
• Anxiety, panic, tachycardia
• Hypotension
• Cannabis use disorder
• Potential liver stress
• Dangerous interactions with medications

For Washington County residents with limited access to emergency care—where the nearest ER might be an hour away—these risks are particularly serious. This is why OilWell’s approach is fundamentally different.

What Simpson Got Right vs. What He Overstated

What he got right:

• Drew attention to cannabinoids as serious biomedical research when the world ignored them
• Helped create conditions for the legal cannabis industry
• The term “RSO” remains the most recognized name for full-spectrum cannabis extract

What he overstated:

• His cure claims exceeded all available evidence
• Encouraging patients to use RSO instead of proven cancer therapies carries genuine harm potential
• Delayed or foregone treatment for treatable cancers is a documented concern

For Washington County cancer patients traveling to Denver’s UC Health or Porter Adventist Hospital for treatment, our message is clear: RSO education complements medical care; it does not replace it. Talk to your oncologist. Consider RSO as adjunct support, not alternative treatment.

OilWell Cannabis: From Houston to Washington County’s Doorstep

Our story begins where many Washington County stories do—with family, desperation, and a refusal to give up. OilWell Cannabis was founded by Colin Valencia, who grew up in McAllen, Texas, right across from Reynosa, Mexico—one of the most dangerous border regions in North America. He learned early about violence, loss, and the failures of conventional systems. Like many Washington County families who’ve watched loved ones struggle with addiction or inadequate healthcare, Colin chose a different path.

Bentley: The Dog Who Started Everything

The company’s origin isn’t a boardroom decision—it was a sixteen-year-old dog named Bentley. When veterinarians recommended euthanasia for Bentley’s paralysis and organ-destroying pain medications, Colin 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 result? Bentley got up, walked across the room, and brought his ball to play. Dogs don’t respond to placebo. This was real.

Bentley lived another ten years, and during that decade, Colin developed formulas for every age-related condition:

• Neurodegeneration → CBG for neuroprotection, THCa for PPARγ activation
• Dementia → CBC for neurogenesis
• Glaucoma → THC for CB1 agonism and intraocular pressure
• Arthritis → Multi-pathway anti-inflammation using CBD, CBG, THCa, and caryophyllene

Why this matters to Washington County ranchers: If you’ve ever spent nights worrying about a prize horse, a working dog, or a herd facing health crisis, you understand Colin’s desperation. That same formulation precision—born from keeping a beloved companion alive—is what goes into every bottle of OilWell RSO that reaches Washington County.

From Benzo Addiction to Breakthrough

Colin knows pharmaceutical dependence personally. He struggled with PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction, eventually quitting Xanax cold turkey using the cannabinoid knowledge he developed for Bentley. The Peace Gummies formula—one of our most popular products—was created during midnight experiments while fighting through withdrawal. Colin personally uses the vape form for insomnia and severe PTSD.

For Washington County veterans dealing with trauma from service, or farmers carrying the weight of economic uncertainty, this isn’t corporate marketing. This is lived experience. Colin’s journey from illegal border crossings to software engineering at Baylor College of Medicine, from cannabis conviction to media expert, mirrors the resilience we see every day in Washington County’s agricultural communities.

Seven ABC13 Features: Third-Party Validation Washington County Can Trust

Between 2019 and 2023, ABC13 Houston—America’s fourth-largest market—featured Colin and OilWell in seven distinct news segments. Five different reporters sought him out. Tom Abrahams, Steve Campion, Shelley Childers, Nick Natario, and KTRK staff writers all identified Colin as Houston’s go-to cannabis authority.

What this means for Washington County: In an industry filled with anonymous online brands and fly-by-night operations, OilWell has documented, third-party credibility that you can verify. When Nick Natario needed someone to explain President Biden’s marijuana pardons in the context of Texas law, he called Colin. When Shelley Childers needed to report on Delta-8 becoming Schedule I overnight, she went to OilWell’s dispensary. When the station wanted to show hemp cultivation on 4/20, they filmed Colin’s field.

Most importantly: In October 2022, Colin publicly revealed his personal marijuana conviction history while discussing the Biden pardons. For Washington County residents who’ve faced legal consequences for cannabis—especially veterans, ranch hands, or anyone caught in past enforcement—this authenticity matters. Colin isn’t an outside entrepreneur profiting from legalization. He’s someone who lived the consequences and built a better way.

The OilWell RSO Philosophy: Four Principles for Washington County

Our RSO is not traditional RSO. It’s informed by Simpson’s vision but evolved to solve the problems he couldn’t. Four principles define our approach—each relevant to Washington County’s needs:

1. Accessibility Over Gatekeeping

No medical card required. Anyone 21+ can purchase. We ship nationwide and internationally. Simpson believed medicine should be accessible; we built a legal distribution model that makes it happen.

For Washington County residents, this is revolutionary. You don’t need to drive three hours to Denver for a medical card appointment. You don’t need to prove a qualifying condition. You can order from your home in Akron, your ranch outside Otis, or your workplace in Wray, and have the same product delivered that someone in Houston receives.

2. Patient-Controlled Potency

THCa is sold in its raw, non-psychoactive form. You decide whether to use it raw for daytime relief without impairment or decarboxylate it into delta-9 THC for full psychoactive potency.

Washington County application: Morning chores in subzero temperatures? Use raw THCa sublingual oil—zero impairment, anti-inflammatory benefits. Evening pain keeping you from sleep? Decarboxylate the oil at 260°F for 45-60 minutes and get THC-driven relief. You control the chemistry.

3. Open-Source Formulas

We publish our complete formulas publicly. If $129.99 for the sublingual oil or $49.99 for the vape cartridge doesn’t fit your budget, you can source the ingredients and make your own version. This echoes Simpson’s free-distribution ethos for the modern era.

For self-reliant Washington County residents who grow their own hemp (legally compliant under Colorado’s hemp program) or who value transparency, this is unprecedented. No other cannabis company gives away their exact recipe.

4. Evidence-Informed, Not Evidence-Overstating

The next section—General Knowledge—represents over 29 peer-reviewed citations evaluating what the science actually says. Simpson operated without access to this literature. We have it, and we use it to distinguish between what’s proven, what’s emerging, and what’s overstated.

Washington County deserves this honesty. When you’re making health decisions without a specialist down the street, you need information you can trust—not hype that could lead you away from effective treatment.

Farm Bill Compliance and the THCa Legal Framework: Why Washington County Residents Can Order Confidently

The 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight. Our RSO Sublingual Oil contains only 90mg of delta-9 THC in the entire 30mL bottle—3mg per mL—well under the federal threshold.

Colorado-specific context: Colorado has historically been progressive on cannabis, but Washington County remains conservative. Many residents worry about legality. Here’s the clarity you need:

• Federal law: Our product is legal under the Farm Bill
• Colorado law: Hemp-derived products with <0.3% delta-9 THC are legal
• Washington County: No local ordinances restrict hemp-derived cannabinoids
• Drug testing: THCa in raw form will not trigger standard drug tests. If you decarboxylate it into THC, it will. We are honest about this because Washington County employers—whether it’s a farm, oil operation, or local business—still test.

Important for Washington County ranchers and truckers: If your job requires CDL or DOT compliance, use the raw form only. Do not decarboxylate if you’re subject to random testing. We provide this guidance because your livelihood matters.

Patient-Controlled Potency: Three Options for Washington County Lifestyles

Our sublingual oil gives you three distinct usage paths:

Option 1: Raw (Non-Psychoactive)

• Keep all 1,500mg as THCa
• Zero impairment—work your fields, operate equipment, drive into town
• Anti-inflammatory benefits via COX-2 inhibition
• Perfect for Washington County’s long workdays during planting or harvest

Option 2: Fully Activated (Home Decarboxylation)

• Heat oil at 260°F for 45-60 minutes
• Converts 1,500mg THCa → ~1,315mg delta-9 THC
• Total: ~1,405mg delta-9 THC + 6,000mg delta-8 THC
• Full therapeutic potency for nighttime pain, cancer support, severe symptoms

Option 3: Vape (Instant Activation)

• Our 1-gram cartridge auto-decarbs at 400-450°F
• 1-2 minute onset for breakthrough pain or panic attacks
• Portable for Washington County’s wide-open spaces—use discreetly while hunting, fishing, or away from home

The conversion math: 1mg THCa = 0.877mg delta-9 THC after decarboxylation. We’re transparent about this because Washington County’s practical-minded residents appreciate precision.

Solvent-Free Production: Why It Matters for Washington County

Traditional RSO used naphtha or isopropyl alcohol—toxic, non-food-grade solvents that leave harmful residues. Many DIY RSO makers in rural Colorado still use these dangerous methods.

OilWell’s approach: We blend individual cannabinoid distillates and isolates in a controlled environment. No solvents. Our carrier is organic MCT oil—food-grade, safe, and effective for sublingual absorption.

Third-party lab testing includes:

• Cannabinoid potency (HPLC/UHPLC, ±2% accuracy)
• Heavy metals screening (ICP-MS for arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury)
• Pesticide analysis (400+ compounds via LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS)
• Residual solvents (FDA Class 3 limits <5,000 ppm)
• Microbial testing (E. coli, Salmonella, Aspergillus)

For Washington County’s agricultural community: You understand the importance of testing feed, seed, and livestock supplements. We apply that same standard to our cannabinoid products. Every batch is tested; every customer can request the Certificate of Analysis.

Comprehensive Cannabinoid Science: What Washington County Needs to Know

This section provides the evidence foundation for every compound in our formula. We evaluate claims based on human clinical data first, then systematic reviews, then preclinical research. This hierarchy matters because not all cannabinoids are equally proven.

CBD (Cannabidiol): The Most Evidence-Developed Compound

Best supported use: Certain rare epilepsies. The FDA approved Epidiolex (purified CBD) for Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome based on robust clinical trials [2].

Anxiety: A 2024 systematic review of 316 participants found significant anxiolytic effects, but authors stressed limited sample sizes and need for more trials [3]. For Washington County residents dealing with anxiety from economic stress, isolation, or PTSD, CBD offers promise but not guarantee.

Pain: 2024 review found “promising but heterogeneous” results. Quality and consistency across trials limit broad analgesic claims [4]. If you’re a farmer with chronic back pain from decades of labor, CBD may help, but it works best as part of a multi-cannabinoid approach.

Sleep: 2023 review concluded evidence remains “methodologically weak” with few objective assessments [5]. Don’t expect CBD alone to cure insomnia.

Safety: Important for Washington County’s older population—CBD can elevate liver enzymes and interact with medications like blood thinners, anti-seizure drugs, and some antidepressants [6]. Always consult your doctor, especially if you’re traveling to Denver for specialist care.

CBG (Cannabigerol): The Emerging Neuroprotective Cannabinoid

Evidence profile: Mostly preclinical and review-level [7][8]. Human data is sparse.

Research focus: Neurologic disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, antibacterial activity [7]. For Washington County residents concerned about dementia or cognitive decline as they age, CBG is intriguing but not proven.

Bottom line: CBG is commercially interesting because it’s underexplored, which means claims often exceed evidence [7]. We include 3,000mg in our formula because the pharmacology is compelling, but we don’t overstate it.

Delta-8 THC: Not “Diet Weed”

Pharmacology: Partial CB1 agonist, less potent than delta-9 but still psychoactive and habit-forming [9]. The comparison to delta-9 is 1:1 in mechanism, not 1:10 in effect.

Public health concerns: 2023 scoping review noted adverse event reports and emphasized regulatory/quality concerns [10]. Manufacturing often involves conversion from CBD with byproducts.

For Washington County: If you’re using delta-8 for pain or PTSD, understand it’s not trivial. It will impair you. It may cause dependence. It will likely trigger drug tests.

THCa: The Legal Gateway Cannabinoid

Critical for Washington County: THCa is not psychoactive in its acidic form. However, heat converts it to delta-9 THC [12]. This is the legal innovation that makes our product possible—purchase non-psychoactive oil, activate at home if needed.

Research: Preclinical studies suggest anti-inflammatory (COX-2 inhibition) and neuroprotective (PPARγ activation) effects [12]. But these are not human trials.

Practical guidance: Store oil in cool, dark place to minimize gradual conversion. If you want raw THCa for daytime use, don’t leave the bottle in your truck cab during Washington County’s 100°F summer days.

Delta-9 THC: The Original Powerhouse

Best evidence: Chemotherapy nausea/vomiting, HIV/AIDS appetite/weight loss, some MS and pain symptoms [1][13]. These are narrow, specific indications—not blanket approval.

High-dose risks: 2025 systematic review of high-concentration THC products found consistent associations with psychosis, cannabis use disorder, anxiety, and depression [15]. This is why our formula keeps delta-9 THC at only 90mg per bottle—therapeutic without being overwhelming.

Washington County relevance: If you’re a veteran with PTSD, delta-9 can help with nightmares and hypervigilance, but start low. The psychoactive effects can worsen anxiety if dosed improperly.

CBN: The Sleep Cannabinoid with Weak Evidence

Marketing vs. reality: CBN’s reputation as a sleep aid is far stronger than the clinical data [16][17].

2021 sleep review: Screened 99 human-study abstracts, found no clinical trials using validated sleep questionnaires or polysomnography that could substantiate strong sleep claims [16].

Our inclusion: We add 750mg CBN because customers request it and early rodent data is interesting, but we don’t claim it’s a proven sleep cure. The 25-50mg dose at 1-2mL serving aligns with exploratory research, not established medicine.

CBC: The Most Emerging Cannabinoid

Status: Very early stage, mostly preclinical [18][19].

Potential: Antinociceptive, antibacterial, anti-seizure activity in animal models [18].

Bottom line: We include 750mg for completeness of the entourage formula, but it’s research-stage, not proven.

Terpenes: The Aromatic Dimension

Terpene claims need stricter interpretation than cannabinoids. Most evidence is preclinical, from essential oils, or non-cannabis plants. Human proof of entourage effects remains limited [20][29].

Our Seven-Terpene Profile

Limonene (citrus-bright): Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant potential, but mostly preclinical [21]. Oxidation products can be allergens [22].

Myrcene: Often marketed as sedating, but human proof is limited [23]. Present for aroma and potential synergy.

Caryophyllene (β-caryophyllene): The standout—selective CB2 agonist, making it pharmacologically unique among terpenes [24]. For Washington County residents with inflammatory pain, this is the most credible terpene in our profile.

Pinene (forest-fresh): Neuroprotective potential in animal models, but human trials lacking [25]. Appeals to Washington County’s outdoors lifestyle.

Linalool (lavender-floral): Anxiolytic potential via GABA and 5-HT systems, but evidence is preclinical [26]. Oxidized forms are allergens [22].

Humulene (earthy-woody): Anti-inflammatory in rodent studies, cannabimimetic properties via CB1 and adenosine pathways [27]. Interesting but early.

Terpinolene (piney-fruity): Least characterized of our seven terpenes—mostly in silico and in vitro data [28]. Adds complexity to flavor profile.

For Washington County: These terpenes create an aroma profile that smells like the land you work—earthy, woody, with hints of pine and citrus. It’s a sensory experience that connects to your environment, which matters when you’re using a product daily.

Condition-Specific Usage Context for Washington County

CRITICAL DISCLAIMER: These are educated frameworks based on cannabinoid research, not medical prescriptions. Always consult your healthcare provider. OilWell products are not FDA-approved to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Individual results vary. Do not operate vehicles or machinery while impaired.

Chemotherapy Support

Washington County context: Many residents travel to Denver’s UCHealth, Rose Medical Center, or Porter Adventist for cancer treatment. The 2-3 hour drive home after chemo can be brutal.

Suggested framework:

• Pre-chemo (1 hour before treatment): 0.5-1.0mL sublingual raw
• Acute nausea breakout: 2-3 vape puffs (1-2 minute onset)
• Post-chemo every 6 hours: 0.5mL sublingual
• Night before bed: 1.0-2.0mL sublingual (delivers 25-50mg CBN)

Evidence: Delta-8 THC antiemetic properties [9], delta-9 THC for chemo nausea [1][13], CBD for anxiety buffering [3]

Chronic Pain (Arthritis, Neuropathy, Back Injury)

Washington County context: Decades of physical labor—lifting hay bales, repairing fences, operating heavy machinery—take their toll. Many Washington County seniors live with daily pain. Prescription opioids carry addiction risks, and access to pain clinics requires travel.

Suggested framework:

• Daytime functional use: 0.3-0.5mL sublingual raw (no impairment)
• Nighttime: 0.5-1.0mL sublingual decarbed + CBN
• Breakthrough pain: Vape as needed

Evidence: CBD for pain [4], delta-9 THC for pain [13], caryophyllene CB2 activation [24], THCa COX-2 inhibition [12]

Sleep Disorders

Washington County context: The quiet of rural nights can amplify pain and anxiety. Limited sleep clinic access means many residents suffer untreated insomnia.

Suggested framework:

• Before bed: 1.0-2.0mL sublingual
• At 2.0mL: Delivers 50mg CBN (dosage from 2024 sleep literature)
• At 1.0mL: Delivers 25mg CBN (above threshold for sleep disturbance reduction)

Evidence: CBN sleep research is weak [16][17], but combination with other sedating cannabinoids shows promise in practice. Our inclusion is based on customer feedback and emerging data, not proven clinical efficacy.

PTSD and Anxiety

Washington County context: High veteran population, survivors of agricultural economic crises, first responders in a region with limited mental health resources.

Suggested framework:

• Daytime functional: 0.3mL sublingual raw (CBD + CBG, no impairment)
• Nighttime: 1.0mL sublingual (full profile + CBN)

Evidence: CBD anxiety research [3], CBG pharmacology [7][8], limonene entourage effect [20]

General Titration Principle for Washington County

Start low, go slow. Begin with 0.25-0.5mL sublingual and assess effects over 2-3 hours before increasing. Body weight, metabolism, tolerance, and concurrent medications all affect response. Given Washington County’s older demographics and polypharmacy prevalence, this conservative approach is critical.

Farm Bill compliant	No (state program)	Yes

Washington County takeaway: You’re getting more cannabinoids, more variety, legal access without travel, and better pricing—all with transparency no dispensary matches.

Legal Compliance for Washington County: What You Need to Know

Federal Law (2018 Farm Bill): Our products contain <0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight—legal nationwide.

Colorado Law: Hemp-derived cannabinoids with <0.3% delta-9 THC are legal for adults 21+. Washington County follows state law with no additional restrictions.

Age requirement: You must be 21+ to purchase. We verify age at checkout.

THCa conversion warning: If you decarboxylate our oil, you create delta-9 THC. Do not operate vehicles or machinery after activation. Washington County Sheriff’s Department and Colorado State Patrol enforce DUI laws for cannabis impairment.

Medical disclaimer: These products are not evaluated by the FDA. Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Consult your healthcare provider—especially important for Washington County residents who see specialists in Denver or Sterling.

Drug testing: Raw THCa should not trigger standard tests. Decarboxylated THC will. If you work for a Washington County employer that tests (schools, oil companies, government), use raw form only.

Pregnancy/nursing: Do not use if pregnant or breastfeeding. THC crosses the placenta and appears in breast milk.

Keep away from children: Store securely. Washington County has many multi-generational households—protect your grandchildren.

Why We Publish Our Formulas: Open-Source for Washington County’s DIY Culture

We publish every milligram amount because Washington County’s self-reliant culture values transparency. If you grow hemp under Colorado’s hemp program, you can make your own version.

The Bentley Recipe (Our Original Open-Source Formula):

• 1/2 cup organic turmeric powder
• 1 cup water
• 1/3 cup coconut oil
• 1-2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• CBD oil (veterinarian-guided dosage)

Instructions: Mix turmeric and water over low heat until paste forms (7-10 minutes). Add coconut oil and pepper. Cool and store refrigerated for up to 2 weeks. Mix with pet’s food.

Why we share this: This recipe saved Bentley. We gave it away before we ever sold RSO. That ethos—help first, profit second—defines who we are. For Washington County ranchers with aging working dogs, horses, or livestock, this is free, actionable help.

Media Recognition: Proof Washington County Can Verify

Seven ABC13 features from 2019-2023. Five different reporters. Coverage spanning business, law, medicine, community health, and politics. This isn’t purchased PR—it’s earned credibility.

Most relevant for Washington County: The October 2022 Biden pardon feature where Colin revealed his personal marijuana conviction history. That moment transformed every previous quote about “not selling snake oil” into lived truth. When you’re considering a cannabis product for your health, you want to hear from someone who’s faced the same legal fears you have.

Watch the clips yourself: Search “ABC13 OilWell Cannabis” on YouTube. See Colin’s interviews. Hear his voice. Verify our claims. In an era of online scams targeting rural communities, third-party validation matters.

Practical Takeaways for Washington County Decision-Making

1. CBD and delta-9 THC have the strongest evidence. Everything else is emerging or exploratory.
2. Delta-8 THC is not mild. It’s psychoactive and less studied than delta-9.
3. THCa changes with heat. Your storage and usage method determines what you actually consume.
4. CBG, CBN, CBC are promising but not proven. We include them for completeness, not miracles.
5. Terpene claims should be cautious. They’re important for experience, not proven cures.

Condition-Specific Guidance for Washington County Health Realities

For Washington County Veterans with PTSD

Colin’s personal story is your story. He uses the vape form for acute episodes and sublingual for maintenance. Start with 0.3mL raw sublingual morning and evening. If nightmares persist, add 1.0mL decarbed before bed. The CBN helps with sleep architecture; the delta-8 and delta-9 help with intrusion and hypervigilance.

For Washington County Farmers and Ranchers with Chronic Pain

Your work doesn’t stop because your back hurts. Use 0.5mL raw sublingual before morning chores—anti-inflammatory without impairment. Keep the vape in your truck for breakthrough pain while checking fences. At night, 1.0mL decarbed with CBN lets you rest enough for tomorrow’s work.

For Washington County Cancer Patients

You’re likely traveling to Denver’s UCHealth, Rose, or Porter for treatment. Our product ships discreetly to your home in Washington County, arriving before your next chemo session. Use the framework above, but coordinate with your oncologist. Show them our published formula. Bring the COA to your appointment. Integrative oncology is increasingly common at Denver’s major centers.

For Washington County Seniors with Neuropathy

Diabetes and age-related nerve pain are common here. The multi-cannabinoid approach targets multiple pain pathways. Caryophyllene’s CB2 activation is particularly relevant for inflammatory nerve pain. Start with 0.25mL sublingual raw twice daily. Increase gradually over two weeks.
