Rick Simpson Oil in Wright County, Iowa: A Complete Guide by OilWell Cannabis
We at OilWell Cannabis have spent the last five years learning what concentrated cannabinoids can actually do for people—not what the hype says, but what the science shows and what our own experience has taught us. We’re reaching out to the folks in Wright County because we know that rural Iowa communities face the same health challenges as anyone else: chronic pain that outlasts a prescription, chemo side effects that standard drugs barely touch, PTSD that makes sleep impossible, and the daily weight of stress that chips away at your well‑being. We also know that Wright County’s medical resources—while strong—can feel stretched, especially for families in towns like Clarion, Eagle Grove, or the unincorporated stretches between them. Our goal is simple: give you the most honest, evidence‑anchored, and locally relevant information about Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) so you can decide for yourself whether it’s a fit for your situation.
Who is Rick Simpson, and Why Does “RSO” Still Matter in Iowa?
Rick Simpson was never a doctor or a scientist. In the 1990s he was a power‑engineer in Canada who got hurt on the job and found that conventional medicine stopped helping. Cannabis gave him relief, and he became convinced that a thick, high‑THC oil could help others, too. In 2003 he applied that oil to a patch of skin cancer on his own arm (without any biopsy or medical verification) and said it disappeared in four days. That personal testimony—unproven as a clinical case—became the origin story of Rick Simpson Oil. He gave it away for free, published a book called Phoenix Tears, and was raided repeatedly by Canadian police before he left the country. The documentary Run From the Cure spread his story worldwide, and the name “RSO” stuck as the folk term for any heavily concentrated cannabis extract.
We share his backstory not to glorify unverified claims, but because Wright County residents deserve the same straight talk he offered: RSO is not a proven cancer cure, and it should never replace proven oncology care. The National Cancer Institute (NCI), the FDA, and Health Canada have all said that while cannabinoids show interesting signals in lab dishes and animal models, no cannabis product has been shown to cure cancer in humans. Encouraging someone to use RSO instead of radiation, surgery, or chemo can cause real harm by delaying effective treatment. If you or a loved one in Wright County is facing a cancer diagnosis, the Clarion Cancer Center, MercyOne clinics, or the Iowa Cancer Consortium can help coordinate proven therapies. RSO can be considered an adjunct—something you discuss with your oncologist—not a replacement.
The Traditional RSO Protocol (60 g Over 90 Days)—and Why It’s Not What We Offer
Simpson’s original plan was to take 60 grams of his thick, black oil in a 90‑day course. He started with a dose the size of half a grain of rice, doubled it every four days, and aimed to reach a gram per day by week five. That schedule was built for a crude, undefined, single‑strain extract—no lab tests, no consistency, and a product that often smelled like solvent. At peak dosing, a user might ingest 600–900 mg of delta‑9 THC daily, a dose that dwarfs anything studied in a controlled trial and carries serious risks: severe intoxication, panic, tachycardia, low blood pressure, and cannabis use disorder. Traditional RSO also used naphtha or isopropyl alcohol—solvents that can leave behind toxic residues if not fully purged.
We do not follow Simpson’s protocol, and you should not use our products that way. Our RSO Sublingual Oil contains only 90 mg of delta‑9 THC in the entire 30 mL bottle—that’s about 3 mg per mL, far below Simpson’s daily total. Instead of one high‑THC ingredient, we blend seven distinct cannabinoids at precisely measured ratios (CBD 4,500 mg, CBG 3,000 mg, Delta‑8 THC 6,000 mg, THCa 1,500 mg, Delta‑9 THC 90 mg, CBN 750 mg, CBC 750 mg). That totals 16,590 mg of cannabinoids at 553 mg per mL. We also preserve 5 % live terpenes—limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene, linalool, humulene, and terpinolene—because the entourage‑effect research suggests terpenes can modulate cannabinoid activity, even if human proof is still emerging.
How OilWell’s RSO Formula Solves the Problems of Traditional RSO
| Traditional RSO Problem | OilWell’s Improvement | Why It Matters in Wright County |
|---|---|---|
| Crude, single‑strain source | Multi‑cannabinoid blend from multiple sources | More pathways for relief; not limited to whatever one strain happens to contain. If you’re a farmer in Wright County growing hemp for CBD, you already know that cannabinoid ratios vary with genetics. We standardize that variability. |
| Naphtha or isopropyl extraction | Solvent‑free formulation | No risk of residual benzene or other petrochemical toxins. We mix purified distillates in organic MCT oil—food‑grade, third‑party lab‑tested for pesticides, heavy metals, residual solvents, and microbes. |
| No lab testing | Full Certificate of Analysis (COA) | Every batch is HPLC/UHPLC tested for potency (±2 % accuracy). You can see the exact numbers before you buy. |
| No terpenes left after heat | 5 % live terpene profile | Terpenes contribute aroma, flavor, and possible synergy. For Iowa palates, the citrus‑bright limonene and earthy pinene give the oil a clean, pleasant taste—nothing like the tar smell of old‑school RSO. |
| Always psychoactive | Patient‑controlled potency via THCa | Iowa residents who work shifts—farmers, teachers, healthcare staff—can use the raw THCa form (non‑psychoactive) during the day and decarboxylate a portion at home for nighttime relief. You control the “high,” not us. |
| 60‑year‑old anecdotal evidence only | Evidence‑weighted guidance | We anchor every claim to peer‑reviewed studies (29 references) and NIH positions. If a cannabinoid lacks strong human data, we say so. No snake oil, no hype. |
| Free‑for‑all dosing | Graduated dropper, condition‑specific usage notes | We provide measured‑dose droppers (0.1 mL increments) and concise usage contexts for chemo nausea, chronic pain, sleep, and anxiety—always with a reminder to consult your Wright County doctor. |
Farm Bill Compliance and Iowa‑Specific Legal Notes
OilWell’s RSO products are Farm Bill compliant. Under the 2018 Agricultural Improvement Act, hemp‑derived products containing less than 0.3 % delta‑9 THC by dry weight are federally legal. Our sublingual oil contains 90 mg delta‑9 THC in a 30 mL bottle—well below the 0.3 % threshold. All other cannabinoids are also hemp‑derived.
Iowa’s hemp program aligns with federal law, but the state also runs a Medical Cannabidiol Program that is separate and far more restrictive. The state program requires a qualifying condition, physician certification, and limits THC content per dose. Our products are not part of the state medical program; you do not need a medical card to purchase. You must be 21 years or older. However, Iowa residents should verify that their local jurisdictions (city or county) have not enacted additional restrictions on hemp products. If you live in Clarion, Eagle Grove, or the rural townships, the product is generally permissible at the point of sale, but always check for any local ordinances.
Legal disclaimer: THCa can convert to delta‑9 THC when heated. The conversion is customer‑controlled. By purchasing, you accept responsibility for compliance with Iowa law. We provide COAs and full documentation with every shipment.
Product Formats and Pricing for Wright County Residents

Decarboxylation 101: How Wright County Customers Choose Their Potency
One of the most important innovations in our RSO is the ability to keep the product raw (non‑psychoactive) or activate it at home. Here’s the simple chemistry:
- THCa (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is the acid form found in raw hemp. It does not cause a high on its own.
- When heated to 260 °F (125 °C) for 45–60 minutes, THCa loses a CO₂ molecule and becomes delta‑9 THC, which is psychoactive.
- The conversion math: 1 mg THCa × 0.877 = ≈0.877 mg delta‑9 THC. Our bottle contains 1,500 mg THCa, which becomes roughly 1,315 mg delta‑9 THC after decarb. Add the 90 mg delta‑9 THC already present, and the fully activated bottle yields ≈1,405 mg delta‑9 THC—a potency level comparable to traditional illegal RSO, but you control it.
How to decarb in your kitchen (Wright County style):
- Preheat your oven to 260 °F. Use an oven thermometer if you have one—ovens can be off by 10–15 degrees, and even small variations affect conversion.
- Transfer the amount you want to activate into a small oven‑safe glass container (e.g., a 4‑oz mason jar). If you only want to activate a day’s worth, use a separate jar so the rest stays raw.
- Seal the jar loosely (finger‑tight) and place it on the middle rack.
- Heat for 45–60 minutes. The oil will bubble slightly as CO₂ releases. That’s the decarboxylation happening.
- Remove, let cool, and store in a cool, dark place. The activated oil is now psychoactive—use the same graduated dropper to measure your dose.
If you’d rather not heat anything, you can simply use the oil as‑is. The raw THCa still offers anti‑inflammatory activity (via COX‑2 inhibition) and neuroprotective potential (via PPAR‑γ) without any high.
Terpene Profile: What You’ll Smell and Why It Matters
Caryophyllene (pepper/spice), limonene (citrus brightness), myrcene, pinene (fresh pine), linalool (lavender floral), humulene (woody earth), and terpinolene (fruity sparkle). These aren’t just for aroma—they modulate how cannabinoids interact with receptors. For Iowans who enjoy essential oils or have experience with aromatherapy, these terpenes are familiar friends.
Evidence‑Based Usage Contexts for Wright County Residents
Below are condition‑specific notes derived from peer‑reviewed literature (see the 29‑reference list at the end of this guide). Always consult your primary care provider before adding cannabinoids to your regimen. If you’re receiving care through MercyOne Wright County, the Iowa Specialty Hospital in Clarion, or the Wright County Public Health clinic, bring this guide to your appointment and ask how these compounds might interact with your current meds.
Chemotherapy‑related nausea & appetite
- Pre‑chemo: 0.5–1.0 mL sublingual oil about 1 hour before treatment.
- Breakthrough nausea: 2–3 puffs from the vape (1–2 minute onset).
- Post‑chemo: 0.5 mL sublingual every 6 hours as needed.
- Sleep: If chemo disrupts sleep, take 1–2 mL at bedtime (25–50 mg CBN).
- Rationale: Delta‑8 THC has documented anti‑emetic effects [9]; delta‑9 THC is FDA‑approved for chemo‑induced nausea [1][13]; CBD may buffer anxiety tied to nausea [3].
Chronic pain (arthritis, fibromyalgia, neuropathy)
- Daytime: 0.3–0.5 mL raw sublingual (THCa stays non‑psychoactive).
- Nighttime: 0.5–1.0 mL decarboxylated sublingual (full cannabinoid activation + CBN for sleep).
- Breakthrough: Vape as needed.
- Rationale: CBD and delta‑9 THC both show pain‑modulating signals in systematic reviews [4][13]; beta‑caryophyllene activates CB2 receptors linked to inflammation [24]; THCa inhibits COX‑2 like some NSAIDs [12].
Sleep support
- Before bed: 1–2 mL sublingual oil.
- At 2 mL: you receive 50 mg CBN—the dosage studied in the 2024 sleep literature [17].
- At 1 mL: 25 mg CBN, still above the 20 mg threshold associated with reduced sleep disturbance in that body of work.
Anxiety & stress
- Daytime functional dose: 0.3 mL raw sublingual (CBD + CBG, no THC high).
- Evening unwind: 1 mL sublingual (full profile).
- Rationale: Meta‑analyses show CBD anxiolytic signals [3]; CBG’s 5‑HT1A interactions are mechanistically plausible but still emerging [7][8]; limonene’s mood‑brightening effects are documented in preclinical research [20].
Safety, Dosing Principles, and Iowa‑Specific Cautions
- Start low, go slow. Begin with 0.25–0.5 mL sublingual or 1–2 vape puffs, wait 2–3 hours, then titrate up.
- Do not drive or operate machinery after activating the oil (decarboxylated THCa or high‑THC vape).
- Drug interactions: CBD can inhibit CYP3A4 and CYP2C19 enzymes, raising levels of certain heart meds, anticoagulants, and anti‑seizure drugs. If you’re on multiple prescriptions (common in older adults in Wright County), please consult your pharmacist or physician before use.
- Pregnancy & nursing: Not recommended.
- Keep out of reach of children. Accidental ingestion of a 30 mL bottle could deliver dangerous THC levels to a child.
- Mental health: High‑THC exposure is linked to increased anxiety, paranoia, and psychosis risk, especially if you have a personal or family history of mood disorders [15].
- Liver enzymes: CBD at high doses can raise liver enzymes; baseline liver function tests are wise if you plan to use the oil daily for months.

Our Story: Why We Do This
OilWell wasn’t born in a corporate boardroom. It started in Houston with a dog named Bentley. Bentley was paralyzed, facing euthanasia, when a rescue worker asked founder Colin Valencia, “You’ve moved how many tons of weed and you’ve never heard of CBD?” That question changed everything. Colin made a CBD golden paste for Bentley. The pup got up, walked over, and brought him his ball. Dogs don’t respond to placebo—this was real. Bentley lived ten more years, and during that decade Colin developed multi‑cannabinoid formulas for every age‑related condition Bentley faced: neurodegeneration, dementia, glaucoma, arthritis.
Colin also lived through PTSD and benzodiazepine addiction after years of trauma in McAllen, Texas. He quit Xanax cold turkey using the same cannabinoid knowledge he’d built for Bentley. That’s how the Peace Gummies were born—midnight experiments while fighting benzo withdrawal. Today Colin personally uses the vape format of that same formula to manage his insomnia and severe PTSD.
Our media record with ABC13 Houston over four years shows we’ve been consistent: education, community action, and radical honesty. We’ve given away $35,000 in product to encourage COVID‑19 vaccination, warned other operators when delta‑8 became illegal overnight, and openly discussed our own marijuana‑conviction history when President Biden announced federal pardures. This is the kind of company that earns trust, not buys it.
Frequently Asked Questions for Wright County
Q: Is this legal in Iowa?
A: Yes, under the 2018 Farm Bill. Our product contains <0.3 % delta‑9 THC at point of sale, which meets federal and Iowa hemp law. You do not need a medical card.
Q: Will I fail a drug test?
A: The raw THCa form will not cause a positive THC screen. After decarboxylation or vaping, the activated delta‑9 THC will show up on standard urine or saliva tests. If your employer in Wright County conducts random testing, use the raw form only.
Q: How is this different from CBD oil I can buy at the local grocery store?
A: Most CBD oils contain only one cannabinoid (CBD) and no terpenes. Our RSO includes seven cannabinoids and a defined seven‑terpene blend, offering a broader therapeutic spectrum and the ability to choose psychoactive or non‑psychoactive effects.
Q: Can I make this myself?
A: Absolutely. We publish the complete formula publicly (see the tables above) so anyone can source the distillates and replicate it at home. That’s our open‑source promise—if you can’t afford the bottle, you can still access the recipe.
Q: Is there a money‑back guarantee?
A: We stand by our COAs and product quality. If the oil doesn’t match the labeled potency, we’ll replace it or refund you. Contact us at (832) 416‑2816.
Q: Will the vape work with my battery?
A: Yes. The 510‑thread cartridge fits any standard vape pen sold in smoke shops, gas stations, or online in Iowa.
Q: Can I give this to my pet?
A: We do not recommend human RSO for pets. However, we published the CBD golden paste recipe that saved Bentley—that recipe is safe for dogs and cats. You can find it on our “About Us” page.
