Description
RSO or Rick Simpson Oil, is a cannabis oil that contains most of the original plant compounds. Unlike other extracts that often lose or strip particular compounds (like THC, additional cannabinoids, terpenes, and more), RSO retains much of the plant profile.
The oil's consistency differs considerably from most extracts on the market. Rather than yellow or golden, RSO is a thick, dark oil that some have likened to tar. Rather than being used for dabs, RSO is typically ingested using a syringe but can also be used as a topical, in a vape cartridge, or in edibles.
The stark differences from standard extracts are intentional. RSO has always been intended as a medical cannabis option rather than a recreational product. Simpson created the oil to treat his basal cell carcinoma and, eventually, for others with various health conditions, spanning from cancer to respiratory symptoms.1 And while cannabis is not an accepted cancer treatment, the reported benefits of RSO made it a highly sought after product by medical cannabis patients.
Simpson eventually stopped making the oil himself and put the tincture-like extraction process online for others to make. The process can be complex, and many consumers prefer to purchase RSO from a dispensary.
