Rick Simpson Oil, Phoenix tears, full extract cannabis oil, or any of its other names is one of the simplest forms of cannabis oil containing potent medicinal cannabinoids. RSO is an extract pioneered by Rick Simpson made from quick-washing plant material with a solvent (such as isopropyl alcohol) and then collecting the byproduct. This cannabinoid-solvent mix is then cleaned and purged, leaving behind a pure, cannabinoid-rich, medicinal extract chock full of activated cannabinoids.
RSO is not always CBD oil, despite the popular misconception. Generally, RSO is psychoactive but can be made from CBD-rich plants for a non-psychoactive oil low in THC. It is also a popular misconception that CBD is the only cannabinoid with medicinal properties, which is dangerous misinformation for patients who are using cannabinoid therapies as a final fight against their disease. RSO is beneficial for patients who want to treat with cannabinoid therapies because it is full extract oil, meaning that when made with non-CBD only flowers, it contains a wide variety of cannabinoids. Therapeutic RSO works so well specifically because the oil is made of highly concentrated cannabinoids.
RSO generally has a red-golden appearance, and when smudged on paper, RSO leaves gold residue. The oil that is black or green is not necessarily bad, but the color difference can be a tell-tale sign of improper oil production. These colors can be caused by residual plant material, residual solvents, or other environmental contaminants. The oil is generally eaten, so residual solvents and other contaminants are highly undesirable.
Many patients who decide to treat cancers, diabetes, and other diseases claim to see positive results fast from oral use. Patients also report a higher quality of life while treated with RSO, as there are no harmful side effects from using the medicine. Ingesting large amounts of cannabis oil may take some getting used to for most patients, but most who use RSO claim ingesting the oil provides natural relaxation, mood elevation, and pain relief while the cannabinoids heal the body.
