Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) is a potent cannabis concentrate that has become popular in the world of alternative medicine due to its potential healing properties. It’s named after Rick Simpson, who claims it has helped him and others treat various ailments such as cancer, chronic pain, and other conditions. Making RSO at home is relatively easy if you follow these 15 simple steps:

1. Gather your materials: For this process, you’ll need cannabis (preferably high in THC), a solvent (99% isopropyl alcohol or ethanol), two large pots, cheesecloth or coffee filters, a rice cooker, wooden spatula, plastic syringes, and a heatproof container for the final product.

2. Choose your cannabis: Select high-quality cannabis with a high concentration of THC for optimal results.

3. Dry and grind your cannabis: Make sure it’s fully dried and crushed into smaller pieces but not too fine.

4. Transfer the cannabis to the first pot: Put all of your ground cannabis into one of the large pots.

5. Add solvent: Pour enough solvent to cover the cannabis in the pot, gently stirring the mixture to ensure full saturation.

6. Soak and stir: Allow the mixture to soak for about three minutes, stirring occasionally to help break down more of the plant material.

7. Strain and filter: After soaking, pour the mixture through cheesecloth or a coffee filter over another clean pot, separating out the plant material.

8. Repeat steps 5-7: Soak and wash your cannabis material again with more solvent (about half of the initial amount) to extract any remaining cannabinoids.

9. Combine both washes: Combine both sets of filtered solvent into one batch.

10. Cook off the solvent in a rice cooker: Slowly pour all of your strained liquid into a rice cooker set on high heat. Leave the lid off to allow the solvent to evaporate.

11. Monitor and stir: While your solution is cooking, keep an eye on it and gently stir it occasionally to prevent burning or sticking.

12. Adjust heat and watch for consistency: Once most of the solvent has evaporated, adjust the rice cooker to a lower heat setting. Continue stirring until the liquid reaches a thick, syrup-like consistency.

13. Final reduction: Turn off your rice cooker and let the remaining RSO cool for a few minutes, then collect it with a plastic syringe or another easy-to-handle tool.

14. Transfer your RSO to a storage container: Carefully squirt your RSO from the syringe into a dark, heatproof container with an airtight lid.

15. Store in cool, dark place: Store your RSO in a cool, dark place such as refrigerator or cupboard to preserve its potency and prevent spoilage.

Congratulations! You’ve now made your own batch of Rick Simpson Oil at home. Remember to start with small dosage when consuming RSO and consult with a medical professional if you’re using it as an alternative treatment for medical conditions. Always exercise caution while handling solvents and follow safety guidelines during the entire process.
