What is Rick Simpson Oil (RSO)?

Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) is a full-spectrum cannabis oil that is made by extracting the cannabinoids from cannabis flowers using a solvent, such as ethanol or butane. RSO is then typically heated to remove the solvent and concentrated.

RSO is named after Rick Simpson, a Canadian medical marijuana activist who developed the process for making it in the early 2000s. Simpson claimed that RSO cured his own skin cancer and has since advocated for its use as a cancer treatment.

RSO is a highly concentrated form of cannabis and can have potent psychoactive effects. It is typically used for medical purposes, such as treating pain, nausea, and inflammation. However, RSO can also be used recreationally.

How is Rick Simpson Oil Made?

There are a few different methods for making RSO. The most common method is to use a solvent, such as ethanol or butane, to extract the cannabinoids from the cannabis flowers. The solvent is then evaporated, leaving behind the concentrated RSO.

Another method for making RSO is to use heat and pressure to extract the cannabinoids from the cannabis flowers. This method is called “decarboxylation” and it converts the non-psychoactive cannabinoids into the psychoactive cannabinoids.

Rick Simpson’s Method for Making RSO

Rick Simpson developed his own method for making RSO that does not use any solvents. His method involves using heat and pressure to extract the cannabinoids from the cannabis flowers.

To make RSO using Rick Simpson’s method, you will need the following:

• 1 pound of cannabis flowers
• A rice cooker
• A mason jar
• A cheesecloth
• A funnel
• A glass jar

Instructions:

1. Grind the cannabis flowers into a fine powder.
2. Place the ground cannabis flowers in the mason jar.
3. Fill the rice cooker with water.
4. Place the mason jar in the rice cooker.
5. Cook the cannabis flowers on high heat for 2 hours.
6. Allow the cannabis flowers to cool.
7. Strain the cannabis flowers through the cheesecloth.
8. Pour the cannabis oil into the glass jar.
9. Store the cannabis oil in a cool, dark place.

Rick Simpson’s Claims About RSO

Rick Simpson has made a number of claims about Rick Simpson Oil (RSO), including:

• RSO can cure cancer.
• RSO can treat a variety of other medical conditions, including pain, nausea, and inflammation.
• RSO is safe and non-toxic.

However, there is no scientific evidence to support these claims. RSO is a highly concentrated form of cannabis and can have potent psychoactive effects. It is important to use RSO with caution and to consult with a healthcare professional before using it for medical purposes.
