You may have stumbled upon the term RSO or Rick Simpson oil while browsing a clinic or CBD store. So what is RSO and what does it do?
Simply put, it is an oil derived from cannabis strains that are very high in THC (the cannabis molecule).
This article will share everything about RSO cures cancer, what you can do with it, its side effects, and even how to make your own.
So, without further ado, let’s get started!
A Brief History Lesson on Rick Simpsons Oil
RSO (Rick Simpson Oil) is named after the man who created it. Can you guess his name?
Rick Simpson is a former engineer and current medical marijuana activist. A type of skin cancer appeared on his arm.
Because Simpson had successfully treated other conditions with cannabis in the past, he decided to use it for cancer. He was also inspired by a study from the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, which found that THC kills cancer cells in mice.
He applied concentrated cannabis oil (the first form of Rick Simpson oil) to the bandage and left it covered for several days. After 4 days he removed the bandages and his cancer was gone!
After this miracle, Rick began growing his own cannabis plants to create his own special form of cannabis concentrate (now known as Rick Simpson Oil or RSO). His mission was to distribute oil completely free of charge to those who needed it.
Apparently, Rick Simpson has helped heal thousands with his recipe, but he soon had to deal with legal troubles.
What is RSO Oil in the Eyes of Government?
hmm… Simpson’s home has been raided several times. He cut down over 2,600 plants and confiscated them by Canadian police, but Simpson continued distributing cannabis oil.
He is currently unable to enter after these legal issues. After all of this, Rick Simpson continues to promote his passion for cannabis through his books and speeches.
What is RSO and how can I use it?
Rick Simpson Oil is a marijuana oil made with very high amounts of THC, 20%–90% (or more). To put this into perspective, marijuana typically contains about 15% THC.
What is RSO oil used for?
RSO can help with the following issues:
cancer
ache
multiple sclerosis
migraine
arthritis
asthma
Inflammation
loss of appetite
High blood pressure
depression
obscurity
glaucoma
seizure
Does it work for cancer treatment? There is not enough scientific evidence to support RSO as a cancer treatment. Ultimately, no formal scientific study has been conducted to determine RSO efficiency. Therefore, 100% efficiency cannot be guaranteed.
However, scientific experiments show that CBD and THC have anti-cancer properties.
