RSO (Rick Simpson Oil)
RSO is a full-extract cannabis oil made to keep the plant together rather than strip it down. It’s thick, dark, and unapologetically earthy — because the goal isn’t flavor or flash, it’s depth. This style of oil preserves a wide range of the plant’s natural compounds, which is why many people describe it as more “complete” or “whole” than distillate-based products.
The name comes from Rick Simpson, a longtime cannabis advocate who shared his personal experience and extraction method publicly. Over time, RSO became closely associated with people using cannabis intentionally — not recreationally — as part of a daily or nightly routine focused on grounding, relief, and balance. Its reputation has been built largely through personal stories and word of mouth.
RSO is most commonly used in very small amounts, taken orally, sublingually, mixed into food, or applied topically depending on preference. It’s potent and slow-building, which is why people tend to approach it with patience and consistency rather than chasing immediate effects.
This is cannabis treated like a tool — something meant to quiet the system, slow the pace, and support the body through heavier moments. Not a party product. Not a shortcut. Just a deliberate, full-spectrum approach for people who want cannabis to feel purposeful and grounded.
