What is Rick Simpson Oil?
Rick Simpson Oil is a highly concentrated Cannabis oil that contains THC levels in the 90% range that helps treat, cure, and ease symptoms of many illnesses. This can be taken orally or used topically and is very potent. After it is made it is a thick oil-like consistency that is dark in color.
RSO Dosing
While I am not a medical professional, Rick Simpson suggested this RSO dosing. He claims you will want to consume 60 grams of RSO in a 90 day period.
Week 1: 3 doses a day: morning, afternoon, and night. It should be about the size of half a grain of rice.
After the first week: The dose should double every 4 days. It will take 3 to 5 weeks before you reach the recommended 1 gram RSO dose in a day. You will continue to take 1 gram a day until all 60 grams is consumed either orally or topically.
Benefits of Rick Simpson Oil
The creator of this Oil, Rick Simpson often claimed that ingesting 1 gram of RSO would pretty much cure anything that you were suffering from. We have seen this oil help
- Reduce seizures
- Natural Pain Relief
- Stabilize blood sugar to help lower the risk of Diabetes.
- Fights Cancer and the growth of cancer cells
- Reduces anxiety and depression
- Helps relieve migraines

SUPPLIES NEEDED:
1 Ounce Indica Strain Cannabis, decarbed
1 Shorter Wide Mouth Mason Jar
Rice Cooker or Crockpot
Cheesecloth & Rubberband
Everclear (place in the freezer for one hour before using) (DO NOT USE RUBBING ALCOHOL)
Warnings: Extreme caution must be used when heating Everclear. I prefer if you could do the cooking part outside but if you can not, make sure this is done next to an open window or slider. This is nondebatable. You must have airflow and a fan to push the fumes away from your rice cooker and out to the fresh air.
How to make Rick Simpson Oil (RSO)
- Grind your cannabis in a blender. You want it to be shake like. You may want to do this in two steps, grinding half at a time so it doesn’t clog up your blender.
- Pour ground cannabis into your tall mason jar.
- Use Everclear to clean out your blender cup and recover all of the grinds.
- Once all of your cannabis is in your mason jar. Pour enough Everclear (make sure it has been in the freezer for 45 min) to just cover all of your cannabis.
- Use a butter knife large spoon to stir and mash your cannabis, getting the extracting stage to start right away. Place in the freezer for 45 minutes to several hours before starting the cooking process.
- Take a cheesecloth and rubber band it to your wide mouthed mason jar. Strain your Everclear mixture into the jar. Allow it to fully drip into the jar. Then use your hands to squeeze and extract as much of the liquid as you can.
- Set your rice cooker on a table with a table fan or medium to large sized fan blowing to push the fumes away from the rice cooker and into the fresh air.
- Place your mason jar into your rice cooker pot. Pour enough water to get to the height of your green gold.
- Set your rice cooker to rice.
- You have to stay with your rice cooker the entire time this is cooking. Use your infrared thermometer to make sure that the water temperature does not go over 240 degrees. Everclear is very flammable and you do not want the temperature to exceed 240 degrees.
- Mine took about 2-3 hours to fully cook down.
- You will know it is done when it is a dark syrup and does not move when you hold the jar sideways.
- *Dosage should be about the size of a grain of rice but this is something that you will need to research as I can not recommend a proper dosage.
- You can either purchase organic pill capsules and place your dose into the capsule and swallow.
- You can place it into a suppository capsule, this is actually a very effective way to get your dose.
- Take orally, either on the roof of your mouth, inside your lower lip, or on a piece of food.
Important Info to Remember about making Rick Simpson Oil
**Please make your rick simpson oil (RSO) outside if possible (a fan is still needed for making this outside). If this is not possible you must make it next to an open window, with a fan pushing the fumes out the window.
**Only use EVERCLEAR, DO NOT use rubbing alcohol.
**Do not allow your water to rise above 240 degrees.
**Rick Simpson Oil is used to treat many illnesses, please do your research to make sure this will be a benefit to your body.
**Please be cautious of any Rick Simpson Oil that can be purchased ready made, you are putting a lot of faith into this individual to sell you the best product. Plus if made improperly this can be dangerous to consume. This is why I recommend making your own RSO Oil.
Tips Tricks and FAQs
** Rick Simpson Oil is considered not an addictive substance.
** Consult your doctor prior to starting the use of Rick Simpson Oil.
Storage
The most common way to store your RSO is in a syringe (without the needle) to help you dose properly. You will want to remove the needle from the syringe and replace it with a cap.
You can also purchase pill capsules from Amazon and use this to fill with your doses.

Thanks for sharing. One question: how can water exceed 212F if it’s not under pressure?
You just want to monitor it, you will need to stay with your RSO the entire time it is cooking. I used an Infrared Thermometer to keep an eye on the temperature. I used the rice cooker, which I believe I linked in this post, and never had any problems with the temperature getting too high. If that should happen, you would want to just remove it quickly until you can get the temperature lowered.
how much rso does this recipe yield?
I do not have exact measurements. It will not look like a ton at all. It just barely coated the bottom of my mason jar. I take 2 doses a day and have been using this last batch for a month now. So while it does not look like a bunch, it lasts quite a while.
@Melissa, Why freeze the Everclear? Thanks.
To be completely honest I am not 100% sure but that is the way the original recipe was done. My best guess would be to cut down on some of the flammability of it but really not totally sure.
Where did u find rick Simpsons original recipe?
I had to search the internet high and low and find what I felt works best and is safest to consume. Many recipes use rubbing alcohol which is NOT safe to consume. This recipe was a combination of many
Hello Johnny! The purpose of super chilling the Everclear is simply to give an extra head start on the extraction of trichomes from the plant material. This is the same reason it is beneficial to freeze fresh bud prior to mechanical extraction as well! Hope this helps provide a touch more insight. Chilling the Everclear does nothing to mitigate the production of fumes during heating, sadly! REMEMBER the author’s stress about EXTREME CAUTION and ventilation. I cannot speak to the exact statistics, now, but suffice to say, Fire Departments are responding to HUNDREDS of devastating accidents every single year due to ‘Home Canna Cooks’ and while RSO is comparatively safer than making say homemade BHO/PHO, it is still potentially DANGEROUS owing to the heating and venting of the Everclear. SAFETY FIRST!!!
@Melissa, can you smoke it?
No, you do not want to smoke this. Just ingest by mouth or it can also be applied to your skin to treat problem spots.
RSO can be combusted, but the best way to benefit from maximum absorption and superior affects is a sublingual administration. It is most effective when held in the mouth an hour or more, though this requires NOT TALKING! You will begin to get an almost unbearably bitter taste that spreads through the entire mouth, BUT it is WELL WORTH IT, and just continue to hold under your tongue as long as possible. My best results came from syringing my dose into a small (.2 gram) strip of Ultra Strong toilet tissue, and carefully rolling-up to help slow the release of RSO into my mouth. Otherwise, it’s near impossible not to begin hyper salivating after just 10-20 minutes, which cause you to swallow sooner. STRONGEST AFFECTS not to mention FASTEST ABSORPTION occurs the LONGER you can force yourself to absorb RSO sublingually.
That said, if you want to combust it, the best method is to simply add a droplet to the tip of a MJ ciggy, and crimp or twist closed. I don’t know that I’d recommend any sort of hardware owing to the relatively “impure” nature/high sugar content of Everclear.
Good Luck!
BTW, my experience comes from about 2 years of using Medical RSO from my local Florida Dispensary, and MONTHS of trial and error. My typical nightly dose now can range from 120 to 200+ mg, but it took a LONG TIME to work to this dose, and you will be high as BALLS if you start at this insane potency! Just a week off and I have to cut my dose by 50% or MORE!!
@Johnny Blade,
I can answer this actually! It has nothing to do with the flammability of the grain alcohol, but that is a good guess! It is because the trichromes tend to become more and more brittle and easier to “shake” off the flower and trim the colder they are! That is why bubble hash and dry sift is made with either freezing cannabis and ice water, or with dry ice, it essentially freezes or knocks them off the plant matter easier. Where if you just soak for hours in everclear the alcohol will essentially melt the trichromes off, it takes longer and is less efficient, and you will also pull more of the chlorophyll out of the plant matter leaving you with more of a fresh cut grass flavor.
*What Kyle said!!*
Can I take this without any “psycho active ness”, I.e without getting “high”? I don’t like that feeling, but understand the medical benefits.
Absolutely, I only use a small amount scooped up with the tip of a toothpick. I did increase my dose by about 2 times what I initially started taking and never felt any stoned sensation at all. Start with the size of a piece of rice and slowly increase to about double that at most.
@Wade, From what I’ve read, then just low-temp boil it off to get THCA effects. It only becomes THC (psychoactive) after decarboxylation temp of 230F+. Good luck!
Can RSO be frozen to keep it longer
I am so sorry, I am not totally sure if it can be frozen. But if you have it in a sealed tight mason jar or even in a syringe, if kept in a dark cool spot it will last for years.
Connie, I can only speak to the Prescription RSO brands I’ve purchased from Florida’s Truelieve Dispensaries, but the oil properties begin to change after about six months or so, even with “lab sealed” RSO syringes. If you store your RSO in a freezer this can help to slow the property changes, HOWEVER, you will MOST DEFINITELY need to increase viscosity again so you can extract from syringe. This is simply achieved by placing your syringe in some “hot water” for 30 seconds to a minute until you’re able to depress syringe plunger.
The absolute best method for freezing batches, is to pre-measure your daily doses onto parchment paper in rows and columns like those old candy beads that came on paper, and then store in freezer in air-tight container for AT LEAST 24-48 hours to make the RSO “solidify”. Due to the viscosity and relative malleability of RSO at room temperature, the ‘beads’ will begin to soften almost immediately after removing from freezer.
Do you keep the rice cooker or crockpot open while cooking?
Yes keep it open at all times and have a powerful fan blowing those fumes that are coming out away from you and to show outside source of air.
What if you add a little more everclear than needed? Would it take longer to cook or about the same amount of time
It will take a little longer but once it starts cooking it cooks fairly quickly
Thank you for sharing! This may be a dumb question…do you leave the lid off the rice cooker?
Not a dumb question, and yes leave the lid off 🙂
You’re right Greb, It’s not possible for water to exceed 212F. The RSO solution will never reach temperatures higher than 210F, maybe less, because of the glass barrier between the water and the RSO solution. The only way the RSO solution will reach higher than 212F is if the mason jar is placed directly on the bottom surface of the rice-cooker, and even then it most likely won’t reach 240 if rice cooker maintains constant stable temperature. I have not done it this way with rice-cooker before, although I know it is an effective way to conserve the RSO so that the THC doesn’t get too hot and convert to CBN.
Yes I’m wanting to use my crockpot to make the RSO.
Do you have a recipe for that?
No i am sorry, I do not
How much water do you use? Thanks!
Pour enough water to get to the height of your green gold in your jar.
I did not read with which cancer you have been diagnosed. Was your inability to write cohesive thoughts an issue before the cancer or after? Is it brain cancer because that would track.
Esophageal cancer.
Hello wondering if I will get the high affect psychoactive affect from using it topically. Putting it on an open cancer sore about a half inch across. Does it get into the bloodstream through the skin?
I am pretty sure you will not feel any affects from using it topically. All the best wishes for you.
