How to Use Rick Simpson Oil

Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) is a highly concentrated cannabis oil known for its potential medicinal benefits. It’s often used by individuals seeking relief from various health issues, including chronic pain, cancer, and other conditions. Here’s a general guide on how to use RSO:

Important Note: The legality of RSO and cannabis products varies by location, so make sure to follow local laws and regulations. Additionally, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional before using RSO, especially for serious medical conditions. RSO is legal for use by patients in the Louisiana Medical Marijuana Program.

Consult a Healthcare Professional: Before using RSO, consult with a healthcare professional, preferably one with experience in medical cannabis, to discuss your specific condition and to determine if RSO is a suitable treatment. The Healing Specialists at The Healing Clinic can help you to get started.

 

Dosage: Dosage varies depending on your condition, tolerance, and the specific RSO product you’re using. Start with a low dose (a grain-of-rice-sized amount) and gradually increase it to find the right dosage for your needs. Many people begin with a small amount, then slowly increase the dosage as they gauge their tolerance and the desired effects. As they say, “Start Low and Go Slow.”

Oral Ingestion: RSO is most commonly taken orally. Here’s how to use it orally:

a. Use a clean, small tool (like a toothpick or the tip of a knife) to scoop up the desired amount of RSO.
b. Place the RSO under your tongue or along your gum line (sublingual administration) and hold it there for 60-90 seconds before swallowing.
c. You can also mix RSO with food or a beverage, but it may take longer to feel the effects if consumed this way, as it must pass through the digestive system.

 

Titration: Be patient. It can take up to a few hours for the full effects of RSO to kick in. It’s crucial to give the medication time to work before increasing the dosage.

 

Consistency: For best results, take RSO at the same time each day and maintain a consistent dosing schedule.

 

Observation: Pay close attention to your body’s response to RSO. Note any changes in your symptoms, side effects, or overall well-being. This information will help you and your healthcare provider and medical marijuana pharmacist adjust the dosage if necessary.

 

Storage: Store RSO in a cool, dark place to prevent degradation. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.

 

Safety: RSO can cause drowsiness and impairment, so avoid activities like driving or operating heavy machinery while using it.

 

Duration: The length of time you should use RSO depends on your condition. Consult your healthcare provider for guidance on when to stop or adjust your treatment.

 

Weaning Off: When discontinuing RSO, it’s advisable to gradually reduce the dosage under medical supervision to minimize withdrawal effects.

 

Remember that RSO is a potent cannabis product, and its effects can vary significantly from person to person. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized guidance on using RSO for your specific health condition.
