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

If you’re reading this in Webster County — whether you’re in Fort Dodge, the county seat, or out in the rural stretches near Badger, Duncombe, or Gowrie — you’ve probably heard about Rick Simpson Oil. Maybe you heard about it from a neighbor at the Co-op, from a fellow veteran at the American Legion post, or from someone in the waiting room at MercyOne Fort Dodge Medical Center. Maybe you’re a cancer patient who just finished treatment at the Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center in Iowa City and you’re looking for options to support your recovery. Maybe you’re a farmer dealing with chronic pain from decades of physical work, or a caregiver helping an aging parent with dementia. Whoever you are, and whatever brought you here, we want you to know: we see you, we understand your situation, and we’re here to give you the honest, evidence-based information you deserve.

We are OilWell Cannabis, a Houston-based company founded by Colin Valencia, and we’ve spent years developing what we believe is the most thoughtfully formulated RSO available anywhere — including right here in Webster County. This guide is written specifically for you, our neighbors across the Midwest. We know Iowa values: you work hard, you don’t have time for BS, and you want facts before you make decisions about your health. That’s exactly what we’re going to give you.

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

Rick Simpson wasn’t a doctor or scientist. He was a power engineer from Nova Scotia — a blue-collar tradesman, not unlike the mechanics who keep the combines running during harvest season in Webster County or the linemen who maintain our electrical grid through Iowa winters. In 1997, Simpson suffered a serious head injury when he fell from scaffolding at a hospital where he worked. The medical system gave him medications that either didn’t work or made things worse. Sound familiar? We hear that story constantly from people across Iowa who’ve been through the prescription medication cycle for chronic pain, only to end up feeling worse.

Simpson eventually discovered cannabis gave him more relief than any pharmaceutical. Then in 2003, he claimed that applying concentrated cannabis oil to three bumps on his arm — diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma — made them disappear within four days. No doctor verified this. No biopsy confirmed it. But this personal experience became the origin story of Rick Simpson Oil.

Important context: Simpson’s account is his personal testimony, not medical evidence. We respect his story because it sparked a global movement, but we don’t present it as proof. In Webster County, where we value straight talk, we need to be crystal clear: anecdotal stories are valuable and historically significant, but they are not clinical proof. People in Fort Dodge, Lehigh, and Vincent deserve honesty, not hype.

Simpson’s 60-Gram Protocol: What It Was, Why It’s Problematic

Simpson developed a specific protocol: consume 60 grams of oil over 90 days. The titration schedule started with a dose the size of half a grain of rice, three times daily, then doubled every four days until reaching 1 gram per day. He claimed this could treat cancer, chronic pain, diabetes, infections, glaucoma, arthritis, depression, insomnia — you name it.

Here’s why this matters for Webster County residents: we know many of you are dealing with exactly these conditions. Maybe you’re a farmer near Clare with arthritis so bad you can barely grip the steering wheel of your tractor. Maybe you’re a veteran in Fort Dodge struggling with PTSD-induced insomnia. Maybe you’re a cancer patient who drives three hours to Iowa City for treatment and you’re looking for anything that might help with nausea. We get it. The desperation is real. But Simpson’s protocol has serious issues:

• No clinical validation: Not a single randomized controlled trial supports this 60-gram regimen for any condition.
• Extremely high THC exposure: At peak dosing, patients consumed 600-900mg of delta-9 THC daily. That’s 30-45 times the typical dose of FDA-approved THC medications. For context, that’s like taking 20-40 Advil tablets at once.
• Real risks: At those doses, patients faced severe intoxication, anxiety, panic, tachycardia, and cannabis use disorder. In a rural community like Webster County, where everyone knows everyone, showing up impaired at the grain elevator or at church isn’t just inconvenient — it can damage your reputation and relationships.
• No standardization: Every batch was different. No lab testing. No consistency. When you’re dealing with health issues, consistency matters.

We tell you this not to dismiss Simpson’s legacy, but to show you how we’ve evolved beyond it. Simpson drew attention to cannabinoids when the world was ignoring them. He helped create the conditions for legal cannabis. The term “RSO” remains the most recognized name for full-spectrum cannabis extract. For that, we are grateful. But we can do better.

From Bentley’s Story to Your Story: How OilWell Began

Our company’s origin isn’t in a boardroom or a focus group. It started with a dog named Bentley. Colin’s beloved companion was paralyzed, facing euthanasia. Vets said pain medications would destroy his organs. In desperation, Colin discovered CBD and created a golden paste formula. Bentley got up and brought him his ball. From paralyzed to playing fetch. Dogs don’t respond to placebo — this was real.

Bentley lived another ten years, dying naturally at age twenty. During those years, Colin developed specialized formulas for every condition Bentley faced: neurodegeneration (CBG neuroprotection), dementia (CBC neurogenesis), glaucoma (THC for intraocular pressure), arthritis (multi-pathway anti-inflammation). Single cannabinoids weren’t enough. That’s why our RSO contains seven cannabinoids at specific, precise ratios.

If Bentley’s story resonates with Webster County’s pet lovers, Colin’s personal story should resonate with everyone who knows the pain of pharmaceutical dependence. Colin used the same cannabinoid knowledge from Bentley to quit Xanax cold turkey — a notoriously difficult and dangerous feat. He created our Peace Gummies formula during midnight experiments while fighting through benzo withdrawal. To ensure quick relief, he also developed a vape form, which he personally uses to manage his insomnia and severe PTSD. This isn’t theoretical knowledge. Colin lived what RSO patients live: desperation for relief, failed pharmaceuticals, the discovery that cannabinoids work when pills do not.

The OilWell RSO Formula: Complete Transparency

We publish our complete formulas publicly because we believe you deserve to know exactly what you’re putting in your body. If you can’t afford our products, you can source the ingredients and make your own. That’s the same spirit Rick Simpson had when he gave his oil away for free. In Webster County, where thrift and self-reliance are valued, we think you’ll appreciate this approach.

RSO Sublingual Oil – $129.99

Complete Formula:

• CBD: 4,500mg
• CBG: 3,000mg
• Delta-8 THC: 6,000mg
• THCa: 1,500mg
• Delta-9 THC: 90mg
• CBN: 750mg
• CBC: 750mg
• Total Cannabinoids: 16,590mg (553mg per mL)
• Live Terpenes: 5% (Limonene, Myrcene, Caryophyllene, Pinene, Linalool, Humulene, Terpinolene)
• Organic MCT Oil Base
• 30mL bottle with graduated dropper (0.1mL increments)

For perspective: that 16,590mg total cannabinoids is more than 16 times what you’d find in typical hemp CBD products sold in Iowa stores.

RSO Vape Cartridge – $49.99

Complete Formula:

• CBD: 30%
• CBG: 20%
• Delta-8 THC: 15%
• THCa: 10%
• CBN: 10%
• CBC: 10%
• Live Terpenes: 5%+
• 1-gram cartridge (510-thread compatible)

Seven-Terpene Profile (Both Products)

• Limonene (citrus-bright) – Mood elevation
• Myrcene – Relaxation
• Caryophyllene (β-caryophyllene – pepper/spice) – CB2 activation for inflammation
• Pinene (forest-fresh) – Clarity
• Linalool (floral, lavender) – Calm
• Humulene (earthy, woody) – Anti-inflammatory
• Terpinolene (piney, fruity, sparkling) – Complex aroma

These terpenes matter. Traditional RSO destroyed all terpenes through high heat. We preserve them because the science suggests they contribute to the overall effect through what’s called the “entourage effect.”

The Science Behind Each Cannabinoid: What We Know

We don’t expect you to take our word for anything. Here’s what the actual research says about each compound in our formula:

CBD (4,500mg)

• Strongest evidence: Treatment of certain rare epilepsies (FDA-approved Epidiolex)
• Good evidence: Anxiety reduction (2024 meta-analysis of 316 participants showed significant anxiolytic effects)
• Emerging evidence: Pain management, though studies are heterogeneous
• Safety note: Can elevate liver enzymes; important if you take multiple medications

CBG (3,000mg)

• Mostly preclinical: Strong pharmacology interest, but limited human trials
• Potential areas: Neurologic disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, antibacterial activity
• Bottom line: Promising but still emerging. We include it for its potential synergy with other cannabinoids.

Delta-8 THC (6,000mg)

• What it is: A psychoactive THC analogue, hemp-derived
• Effects: Similar to delta-9 THC but less potent
• Evidence: Real pharmacologic activity, but less clinical safety data than delta-9
• Important: Will cause impairment and trigger positive drug tests

THCa (1,500mg)

• What it is: The raw, non-psychoactive precursor to THC
• Key feature: YOU control whether it stays non-psychoactive or converts to THC
• Raw use: Anti-inflammatory via COX-2 inhibition (no impairment)
• Heated use: Converts to ~1,315mg delta-9 THC + existing 90mg = ~1,405mg total THC

Delta-9 THC (90mg)

• Total amount: Only 90mg in the entire bottle (3mg/mL)
• Why so little: Keeps us Farm Bill compliant
• When heated: You control the conversion from THCa for full potency

CBN (750mg)

• Marketing vs. reality: Widely marketed as “the sleep cannabinoid”
• Actual evidence: Very weak. No clinical trials using validated sleep measures
• Why we include it: At 750mg total, a 2mL dose delivers 50mg, matching the dosage used in recent sleep studies
• Honest take: We’re transparent that the evidence is emerging, not proven

CBC (750mg)

• Mostly preclinical: Anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, possible neuroprotective effects
• Bottom line: Another promising minor cannabinoid worth including for potential synergy

The Decarboxylation Choice: Your Power, Your Control

This is where our product fundamentally differs from traditional RSO. Simpson’s oil was always psychoactive — you had no choice. Our product gives you three distinct usage options:

Option 1: Raw (No Heat)

• All 1,500mg stays as THCa
• Completely non-psychoactive
• Use during the day while working, driving, or caring for family
• Perfect for the Webster County farmer who needs daytime relief without impairment

Option 2: Fully Activated (Home Decarboxylation)

• Heat oil at 260°F for 45-60 minutes in an oven-safe glass container
• Converts 1,500mg THCa → ~1,315mg delta-9 THC
• Total THC: ~1,405mg (plus 6,000mg delta-8 THC)
• Achieves potency comparable to traditional illegal RSO — 100% legally

Option 3: Vape (Instant Activation)

• Each puff at 400-450°F instantly converts THCa to THC
• Fastest relief: 1-2 minute onset
• Perfect for breakthrough pain, panic attacks, or acute nausea

For Webster County residents who split time between farm work and family care: You can use raw THCa during the day for anti-inflammatory benefits, then decarb a small amount for evening use when you need stronger relief. One product does both jobs.

Farm Bill Compliance: Legal Clarity for Iowa

We know legal questions are top of mind in Iowa. Let’s be direct:

• Our product contains 90mg delta-9 THC in the entire 30mL bottle — well under 0.3% by weight
• All cannabinoids are hemp-derived
• This is federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill
• We ship to Iowa legally and discreetly
• You do NOT need a medical cannabis card (unlike Iowa’s extremely restrictive medical program)

Iowa’s medical cannabis program (the “Medical Cannabidiol Act”) is one of the most restrictive in the nation. You need a qualifying condition, physician certification, and even then, products are limited to 4.5 grams of THC per 90 days. Our product is accessible to any Iowan age 21+, regardless of medical status.

Important legal notice: THCa converts to delta-9 THC when heated. You are responsible for understanding Iowa law. We provide full documentation, COAs, and receipts. International customers accept all customs and legal risk.

Delivery to Webster County, Iowa

We can’t offer same-day delivery to Fort Dodge like we do in Houston, but we get our products to Iowa faster than anyone else:

• Shipping method: USPS Priority Mail (2-3 business days) or FedEx/UPS Ground (3-5 days)
• Discreet packaging: No cannabis branding visible — looks like any other package
• Temperature-stable: Special packaging for Iowa’s hot summers and cold winters
• Tracking: Provided for every order

Condition-Specific Guidance: Making It Practical for Iowa

We know you’re not just reading for education — you need to know how this applies to YOUR situation. Here are specific contexts based on Iowa’s health landscape:

For Cancer Patients (Chemo Support)

If you’re traveling to the Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center in Iowa City or Mayo Clinic in Rochester for treatment, our oil can help:

• Pre-chemo: 0.5-1.0mL sublingual 1 hour before treatment for nausea prevention
• Acute nausea: 2-3 vape puffs for immediate relief during treatment
• Post-chemo: 0.5mL every 6 hours as needed
• Sleep: 1-2mL before bed (delivers 25-50mg CBN)

Delta-8 THC has documented antiemetic properties, and delta-9 THC is FDA-approved for chemotherapy nausea. This is one of the best-supported uses in our formula.

For Chronic Pain (Farmers, Factory Workers, Veterans)

Webster County’s economy runs on physical labor. Whether it’s arthritis from decades of farm work, back pain from factory shifts, or service-related injuries:

• Daytime: 0.3-0.5mL raw sublingual — anti-inflammatory benefits without impairment
• Nighttime: 0.5-1.0mL decarbed sublingual — combines pain relief with sleep support
• Breakthrough pain: Vape as needed for 1-2 minute relief

Evidence: CBD and delta-9 THC show pain-relieving effects. Beta-caryophyllene activates CB2 receptors for inflammation. THCa inhibits COX-2, similar to ibuprofen but without GI damage.

For Sleep Issues (PTSD, Insomnia)

Many Iowans struggle with sleep, especially veterans:

• Before bed: 1-2mL sublingual delivers 25-50mg CBN
• While we wait for more CBN research: We’re honest that human evidence is weak, but our customers report benefits at this dosage

For Anxiety and Stress

The pressures of farming, small business, and rural life:

• Daytime: 0.3mL raw sublingual — CBD and CBG address anxiety without impairment
• Nighttime: 1.0mL for full formula including CBN for sleep architecture

Evidence: CBD shows significant anxiolytic effects in meta-analyses. CBG has emerging pharmacology in anxiety pathways.

General Titration Principle (Start Low, Go Slow)

We recommend starting with 0.25-0.5mL and assessing effects over 2-3 hours before increasing. Your response depends on body weight, metabolism, tolerance, and medications.

For Iowa’s older population: If you’re over 65 or on multiple medications, start even lower (0.1-0.2mL) and consult your pharmacist about interactions.

Competitive Comparison: Why OilWell in Iowa?

You might see “RSO” products at Hy-Vee, local health stores, or online. Here’s how we compare:

OilWell vs. Iowa Dispensaries (MedPharm Iowa, Iowa Cannabis Company)

OilWell vs. CBD Products at Iowa Stores

Our Story vs. The Competition: Why It Matters in Iowa

Unlike corporate CBD brands or out-of-state companies that slap “RSO” on a label, we built our formula from a decade of real-world testing on Bentley. Every cannabinoid ratio was refined through necessity, not marketing. When Bentley developed dementia, we researched CBC for neurogenesis. When his arthritis worsened, we layered multiple anti-inflammatory pathways. When he couldn’t sleep, we optimized CBN dosing.

That same precision goes into every bottle we ship to Iowa. This isn’t a white-label product we bought from a wholesaler. We formulate, produce, and test everything in-house in Houston. Every batch is lab-tested for potency, pesticides, heavy metals, residual solvents, and microbes. We publish the COAs — not just for regulators, but for you.

Media Recognition: Why ABC13 Houston’s Coverage Matters to Iowans

You might wonder: why does coverage from a Houston TV station matter to someone in Webster County? Because mainstream media validation from a major-market ABC affiliate is a credibility signal that transcends geography. When ABC13 — Houston’s #1 news source, serving America’s fourth-largest city — featured Colin in seven segments over four years, they weren’t doing paid promotions. They were doing journalism.

They covered us when we gave away $35,000 in product to encourage COVID vaccinations. They covered us when Texas banned Delta-8 overnight and we proactively pulled products before enforcement. They covered us when President Biden announced marijuana pardons, and Colin shared his personal conviction history. They covered us when we launched innovative products like CBD vending machines.

Most importantly, they kept coming back because we told the truth. When Steve Campion asked “Why would someone want to smoke that?” Colin’s answer — “Maybe you want to get high” — was raw honesty that most companies wouldn’t dare. That kind of transparency is what you can expect from us. We won’t sell you on miracles. We’ll give you the facts and let you decide.

Pricing and Value: Breaking Down the Cost for Iowa Families

At $129.99 for 30mL, we know this isn’t cheap. But let’s break down the value:

• 553mg of cannabinoids per mL — one of the highest concentrations available
• 40-60 doses per bottle depending on your needs
• Cost per dose: $2.17-$3.25 — less than a coffee and pastry at Grounds for Celebration in Fort Dodge
• Versatility: One product functions as both non-psychoactive (raw) and psychoactive (decarbed) — no need to buy two separate products
• Shipping: Flat rate to Iowa, no hidden fees

We also offer the vape cartridge at $49.99 for fast-acting relief. Many Iowa customers buy both — the sublingual oil for daily maintenance and the vape for breakthrough moments.

Final Thoughts: Why We Built This for Iowa

When Colin was growing up in McAllen, Texas — one of the most dangerous border regions in America — he learned that desperate people need real solutions, not promises. When he saved Bentley, he learned that cannabinoid precision matters. When he quit Xanax cold turkey, he learned that cannabis can replace pharmaceuticals when formulated correctly.

Webster County, Iowa isn’t the Texas border. But we know you have your own challenges: rural healthcare deserts, long drives to specialists, the opioid crisis touching families you know, veterans returning from service with invisible wounds, farmers dealing with chronic pain from physical labor. These are real problems that deserve real solutions built on real science.

We’re here to give you the most complete, transparent, evidence-based RSO formulation available — and to publish the formula so you can make it yourself if you need to. That commitment to accessibility, integrity, and education is what makes OilWell different.

From our home in Houston to your home in Webster County — whether that’s a farmhouse outside Barnum or a place in Fort Dodge — we’re honored to be part of your wellness journey. Bentley’s story taught us that miracles happen when you combine love with science. We hope our RSO can be part of your story too.

Questions about Iowa law? Iowa legalized hemp under the 2018 Farm Bill. Our products contain less than 0.3% delta-9 THC and are hemp-derived, making them legal in Iowa. However, THCa converts to delta-9 THC when heated. Iowa residents are responsible for understanding state law regarding possession and use of activated cannabinoids.
