Created by Canadian marijuana activist Rick Simpson, RSO is an exclusive cannabis-based oil which has a high CBD/ THC ratio. RSO is generally created with highly-indulgent strains of medical marijuana, which means that you shouldn’t expect any intoxicating effects or the like coming from this oil. In fact, it’s touted as a “social cleansing oil” that can help you “rejuvenate” yourself. Simpson also claims that RSO reduces pain and helps alleviate seizures.
For anyone not familiar with Rick Simpson’s work, let me explain. After working for the Canadian government as an embedded reporter, Simpson moved to California and started experimenting with different things, one of which was marijuana. While many other scientists and researchers were focused on the therapeutic benefits of this plant, Simpson felt that RSO had the potential to do much more. He began to grow and manufacture a special kind of oil which he named Rick Simpson Oil. Later on, he added a second flavor to the product: Citrus.
The product is made by extracting the oil from the stems of the Simpsonia plant, as well as the stems of Lemon Balm, Catnip, and Licorice, and then making a concentrated solution from the solution. Simpson recommends a dose of RSO for every three days, and you don’t have to worry about getting addicted or addicted – it doesn’t do that. The dosage amounts will vary according to your body size and weight, but you must be sure to take a dose within the recommended time period. The manufacturer cautions that individuals who are pregnant or nursing shouldn’t take this oil because it can be harmful.
It’s easy to make the oil yourself at home, but if you’re not comfortable with that, then you can buy it in a bottle from many online retailers. One of the reasons that Simpson suggests using RSO when treating chronic pain is that it contains two powerful antispasmodic chemicals. When you add the oil to ethanol, you get a solution that can penetrate many tissues and become part of the cellular membrane. From there, the two chemicals act to block pain signals in the brain.
Now, let’s discuss RSO versus marijuana. The thing that makes RSO so different from cannabis is that it’s almost completely devoid of psychoactive properties. When you compare the amount of active ingredient in marijuana between two grams of RSO and two grams of cannabis, the RSO version would be a drop in the ocean. With cannabis, the active ingredient is mostly THC, which is the main psychoactive component of the drug. With RSO, there’s just the tincture of the natural oil, which we’re trying to alleviate pain with.
But if you look at the other benefits of Simpson oil, they really all tie into the idea that it’s a natural substance with no strong or addictive properties. Like with the topical application of the oil, there are no reported incidents of burning, drying out, peeling, cracking, flaking or other dermatological issues. The only issue people might have with the topical application is if they use it too much-simply follow the directions on the back of the bottle. But if you’ve ever used a topical application of any kind before, you know that topical applications of all oils are pretty much safe as long as you don’t overuse them. That’s what makes this unique oil-and potentially cancer treatment-because it has no known side effects.
