Rick Simpson Oil, often abbreviated as RSO, stands out as one of the most celebrated innovations in the cannabis world. It’s not merely a cannabis-derived oil. RSO encompasses the full spectrum of the cannabis plant. This means it holds all the cannabinoids, terpenes, and additional beneficial compounds found in cannabis. Unlike other cannabis products, RSO has a unique molasses-like consistency and is packaged in syringes for easy, accurate dosing.
It’s named after the man who created it and first benefited from it. Rick Simpson claims he cured his own skin cancer with a custom blend of cannabis oil. RSO is typically not smoked. It can be applied to the skin, ingested or dropped under the tongue for the fastest absorption and in capsule form, taken orally for slowest-acting effects that last longer. 
How to Use an RSO Syringe:
Direct Ingestion: Place the syringe under your tongue and gently press to release a small amount of oil. Hold the oil there for 30-90 seconds before swallowing to allow for absorption. Always start small, with a drop the size of a grain of rice, and increase your dose as needed. RSO is very potent. Never take a full syringe dosage.
Topical Application: Squeeze a small amount onto your fingertip or directly onto the desired area. RSO can be used to target localized pain or skin conditions without systemic psychoactive effects.
Incorporating into Food: Mix RSO into foods after cooking to avoid degrading the cannabinoids with high heat. Foods with strong flavors like chocolate or peanut butter can mask the robust taste of RSO.
Tip: If the syringe becomes difficult to press, gently warm it in a cup of warm water to loosen the oil, making it easier to dispense. Try mixing it with warm drinks. This keeps the syringe soluble, so it doesn’t get sticky and stuck to your teeth.
