Understanding Rick Simpson Oil (RSO): A Complete Guide

Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) is a highly concentrated, full-spectrum botanical extract renowned for preserving the whole-plant cannabinoid profile, including essential terpenes and flavonoids often lost in standard distillation.

1. Full-Spectrum Extraction Process

Unlike clear distillates which isolate specific compounds, RSO utilizes a solvent-soak method to draw out the maximum spectrum of organic plant matter. The result is a dark, highly viscous, tar-like oil that delivers a synergistic "entourage effect" ideal for experienced consumers seeking maximum potency.

2. Application and Precise Dosing

Due to its extreme concentration, RSO is traditionally dispensed via a measured syringe. A standard starting dose is often described as the size of half a grain of short-grain dry rice. It can be applied directly under the tongue (sublingual), mixed into foods, or filled into empty capsules for controlled oral ingestion.
