The question is can you make rick simpson oil (RSO) at home ?

Yes! you can produce it at home. The process is quite a simple one and can be done by everyone. We have testimonies flooding our mails with people who produce and use RSO at home. We are happy to introduce to you summarized process. But if you wish to know the whole process in details, browse to our official website at ricksimpsonoilshop.com.

The process to make to make RSO (rick simpson oil) is as follows:

• You’ll need proper setup equipment. Preferably use a double-boiler type pot and pan setup, where you can put the solvent pan on the top of the water pot. You must never put a solvent pan directly on top of the stove whether it’s electric or gas.
• Arrange the pieces of equipment such that the pot containing water lies four to five inches above the surface of the stove. By this you are trying to do things- you are keeping the solvent a good distance from the heat and allows enough water to boil that it keeps the heat on the proper level for evaporating the solvent.
• Keep in mind that you will need to heat water several times during the process and for that solvent, the pan needs to put on a safe surface as it is prone to catching fire. So the distance should be proper between the stove and the solvent pan.
• The recommended distance is at least three feet. One item you need to have always is a lid that can be airtight on the solvent pan because of the high inflammability of the solvent. If in the worst situation solvent catches fire, you should simply put the lid over the solvent pan cutting the oxygen supply thus extinguishing the fire.
• Also, you should have a fire extinguisher at a close distance for easy and fast application. Now when you have prepared for everything, place your dry marijuana or cannabis material into the bucket and pour the solvent over it until it is completely covered. While pouring the solvent keep crushing the marijuana or cannabis. Stir constantly during this.
• And after completely pouring the solvent, stir for 3 minutes more. This will allow the THC to dissolve into the solvent. The goal here is to dissolve at least 80% of the THC into the solvent. Using cheesecloth, pour the mixture into the bowl thus enabling you to separate the mixture from solvent.
• Again put the mixture back into the bucket and add more solvent into it. Again stir for 3 more minutes. Repeat the same draining process using cheesecloth and the bowl where again mixture and solvent will be separated completely. Now, pour all of the solvents into the rice cooker, until it’s about three-quarters full.
• Now turn on the gas/electric stove. Keep in mind that your solvent mixture is not to be heated above 300 degrees Fahrenheit, otherwise, it will be destroyed and will be of no use. Steady heat needs to be maintained at this step. Here decarboxylation will happen.
• Now keep the temperature between the range of 210 to 230 degrees Fahrenheit. This constant heat will allow the solvent to lose all it’s carbon completely. Gradually solvent will evaporate. In this step, you need to add more mixture into the rice cooker.
• When the solvent will be fully evaporated, it will leave a thick oil that can be put into a syringe for easy use. If it is hard to squeeze the oil out of the syringe, you can use hot water to lessen the thickness of the mixture and thus making it easier to dispense.
