Originally developed by Rick Simpson for topical application for skin cancer, Rick Simpson Oil, aka RSO, is a discreet and odorless cannabis concentrate used for more intense therapies. A full-spectrum concentrate, purely extracted using ethanol, the result is a viscous and potent oil that is dark in color, similar to molasses.

Intended usage: for patients to ingest, apply topically, or used for making infused recipes.
RSO can be administered in several ways, depending on personal preference and desired effects:
Sublingual: Placing RSO under the tongue allows for faster absorption.
Ingestion: Mixing RSO with food or beverages delays the onset but extends the duration of effects.
Topical: RSO can be applied directly to the skin, offering localized relief without psychoactive effects.

Some individuals explore RSO for managing symptoms like chronic pain and side effects related to cancer treatments.

THC may interact with other medications, especially blood thinners and sedatives, potentially altering their effectiveness or increasing side effects.
