When I started writing about medical cannabis, it didn\u2019t take long for me to discover Rick Simpson. In 2007, he produced an extremely concentrated and potent form of high-THC cannabis oil known as RSO (Rick Simpson Oil) that he used to cure his own skin cancer. He never sold it and he encouraged people to make their own oil at home. These days, RSO is available at many medical cannabis dispensaries across the country.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The term RSO has come to be used interchangeably with FECO (Full Extract Cannabis Oil) and FSCO (Full Spectrum Cannabis Oil. While they are all very similar in their powerful benefits, they are all slightly different. This article explains the benefits of RSO, the conditions it treats, how it is produced and the dosing protocol. I think it is important to explain the differences between the 3 different terms; RSO, FECO and FSCO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For simplicity\u2019s sake, I will use the term RSO except when I explain the differences in processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RSO<\/a> is the most concentrated, powerful medical cannabis product available today. It is produced by extracting all of the medicinal compounds from raw cannabis without burning them off or processing them out. These include cannabinoids, terpenes, proteins, phenols, esters and flavonoids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
