RSO, Rick Simpson Oil, is a dense, highly potent, dark brown or black oil. This type of oil is the outcome of stripping the trichomes of the cannabis plant, which are highly concentrated in therapeutic terpenes and cannabinoids. The final product is a superpower of healing components, encompassing potent tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

RSO, which a scientist created in Canada named Rick Simpson, initially assisted its namesake in treating a contentious aspect of skin cancer. The scientist, Simpson, was diagnosed of having basal cell cancer and delved into the exploration of the effect on cancer cells by THC. From there, he was able to develop a cannabis oil that pertained to his damaged skin. After only four days, his carcinoma cells were not there.

After the incident, it was sold as a healing oil based on the effects of marijuana. Simpson then cultivated his cannabis by planting various cannabis trees on cultivable land and harvesting it and developed more oil from the cannabis, called RSO nowadays. Let’s understand how this oil works and how to make use of this oil as a supplement to natural wellness.

How It Works

RSO is comparable to a greatly filtered aspect of hashish, where the trichomes and resins of the cannabis plant are separated from the cannabis plant to develop a full product of cannabinoids. The notion is that the mixture of highly potent and concentrated terpenes and cannabinoids can assist in getting rid of various conditions, such as cancer, by effectively rinsing this oil or product along the body’s cells. It means that the produced oil can fight against the cancerous cells of the whole body.

There are various big differences between ordinary cannabis oil and Rick Simpson Oil.

Rick Simpson Oil vs. Cannabis Oil: Differences and Similarities

 

Cannabis oil generally means the infusion of cannabis into some oil, specifically coconut, MCT, or olive oil. At the same time, RSO is a concentrated product that is made by separating various cannabinoids of plants from the entire material. So, RSO is more comparable to hash or various other concentrates of cannabis.

There is a similarity between the two oils as mentioned above, I.e., both the oils are full spectrum, implying that they have a variety of chemical components, encompassing psychoactive THC. Compared to normal cannabis oil, the RSO generally contains more levels of THC, and this high concentration of THC makes this RSO more potent and effective than ordinary cannabis oils.

How to Make Rick Simpson Oil

The making process of RSO involves :

• Stirring highly cleansed alcohol with cannabis to establish a mixture
• Draining the mixture to remove excess plant material
• Warming the mixture (preventing any naked flames) to get rid of whole alcohol and any other impurities existing in the mixture
• The finding is a sticky, thick, black-brown oil that can be utilized at your convenience, including in palatable form.

Please remember that making this oil at home is not without danger and is even illegal in various places, so it is suggested that you do not try to make this RSO at home.

Benefits and Uses

Modern science has given a green signal about the effectiveness of RSO against cancer in collaboration with other therapies. Still, this oil has the potential to be utilized against various conditions. Some of the conditions against which the oil is much effective are as:

• Multiple sclerosis (MS)
• High blood pressure
• Inflammation
• Arthritis
• Many varieties of infection, like MRSA
• Depression
• Insomnia
• Asthma

Commonly the thumb rule is the same for everyone regarding RSO as 60 grams for more than 90 days. However, the dosage can be different for different individuals keeping their sex, age, and other health issues into consideration. Patients must begin with 3 doses daily of only a small drop as small as a rice grain, pertained either topically or ingested every 8 hours.

From there, the patient must boost their doses every four days. Then, after 5 weeks, the victim can take up their doses to an oil gram daily until utilizing all sixty grams. This medication is usually suggested for cancer patients. Also, some anecdotal proof depicts that this kind of dosing works; others can benefit from various dosages and methods of ingestion.
Instead of using RSO by topically or ingesting it, if you vape or smoke it, you have to ensure that the specific oil is acceptable. Always analyze with the budtender when buying it from any dispensary, or if you are making it at home, make sure you are burning all the alcohol before smoking it. However, the KIF Doctors do not suggest this type of ingestion as it is full of risks.

If you cook with RSO, cannabis or cannabutter cooking oil is a famous staple. You can get your cannabis-infused stock with normal one-in mixtures to develop RSO-infused palatable. You can blend the oil into dips, beverages, sauces, and salad dressings. But note it begins with low and goes slow. Edibles of cannabis, particularly made with RSO, may be highly potent, so make less use than you think you require.
