Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) is a concentrated cannabis oil extract that's been popularized by Rick Simpson, a Canadian medical cannabis advocate. What's unique about RSO is its high THC content and potential therapeutic benefits, particularly for patients seeking relief from chronic pain, inflammation, and other conditions.
Some key characteristics of RSO include:
- High THC concentration (often 50-90%)
- Typically made from indica-dominant cannabis strains
- Extracted using solvents like ethanol or isopropyl alcohol
- Often used orally or topically, rather than smoked
RSO has gained attention for its potential to alleviate symptoms associated with various health conditions, although more research is needed to confirm its efficacy.
