Rick Simpson oil is a highly potent, dark brown/black oil made from the flowers of the cannabis plant, but rSO contains various healing compounds and is unusually high in THC.
The oil was named after Canadian scientist Rick Simpson, a medical cannabis activist.
Simpson created a cannabis oil and applied it to his skin when he was diagnosed with skin cancer. The next morning, the cancer spots on his skin were gone. RSO is a highly potent cannabis extract, especially due to its high THC content! RSO is available at cannabis dispensaries in states where medical and/or recreational marijuana use is legal. RSO may aid in the treatment of cancer when combined with other therapies. THC-containing cannabis oils can alleviate chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting, treat pain, and stimulate appetite. Research on animals indicates that THC has the potential to stop the growth of tumors, prevent the spread of cancer cells, and even kill cancer cells. In addition to treating multiple sclerosis, RSO has demonstrated efficacy in treating arthritis, asthma, chronic inflammation, depression, drug addiction, high blood pressure, and insomnia. Individuals may also use RSO for pain, nausea, loss of appetite, and other symptoms associated with these conditions. However, it is important to note that there is limited evidence that RSO directly cures cancer, so patients should continue their prescribed medical treatment. Overconsumption of RSO can cause serious side effects, including tachycardia and paranoia, due to its potency. While under the influence of RSO, individuals should not drive or operate heavy machinery. Antidepressants, opioids, sedatives, as well as other drugs, have the potential to interact negatively with RSO, so it is important to be aware of this if you are taking other drugs.
