RSO, or Rick Simpson Oil, is a full-spectrum cannabis extract known for its thick, dark appearance and high cannabinoid content.
WHAT IT IS
RSO is made by extracting cannabinoids from cannabis using a solvent, traditionally alcohol. The solvent is then evaporated, leaving behind a dense, oil-like concentrate that contains cannabinoids, terpenes, fats, waxes, and chlorophyll.
Unlike many modern concentrates, RSO is not refined for flavor or appearance.
HOW IS RSO USED?
RSO is commonly:
– Consumed orally in very small doses
– Added to food or capsules
– Applied topically in some cases
It is not typically dabbed or vaporized.
WHY IT MATTERS
RSO is notable because:
– It is full-spectrum and minimally processed
– Potency is very high
– It is often used for medicinal purposes
– Small amounts can be effective
It has a long history in the medical cannabis community.
LIMITATIONS / NOTES
RSO has a strong taste and thick consistency. Because it is very potent, dosing must be approached carefully, especially for beginners.
