What makes Rick Simpson Oil so unique?
RSO delivers relief by using the whole cannabis plant. Maybe you’ve tried CBD oil, THC oil, tinctures, or concentrates to treat pain. Rick Simpson Oil is different. It contains all the natural compounds found in the cannabis plant, not just one or two components. This is important because these compounds can work together to create stronger effects, a phenomenon called the "entourage effect”. You can find additional articles on this topic on our site, but in a nutshell: a full-extract oil like RSO can provide more benefits than oils that only contain specific parts of the cannabis plant.
Put the entourage effect to work treating pain
Simply, the entourage effect suggests that the various compounds in cannabis can enhance each other's therapeutic benefits, making full-extract oils potentially more effective. By using RSO, you can get the complete range of cannabinoids, terpenes, and other compounds, which may lead to improved results when addressing certain health conditions.
Does Rick Simpson Oil produce a high?
Yes. Rick Simpson Oil is fully decarboxylated. Decarboxylation ensures THC-A will become activated (or psychoactive) during treatment. As a side effect, a patient will feel a mental high after ingesting RSO.
