What is RSO and Why Use It?
RSO, or Rick Simpson Oil, is a potent, full-spectrum cannabis extract containing all cannabinoids and terpenes. It’s known for its strong effects and versatility, making it ideal for infusing into homemade edibles. Because of its strength, even a small dose (about the size of a grain of rice) can contain around 30 mg of THC. Always start low and go slow, especially if you’re new to RSO or edibles.
Infused Oil Preparation:
The key to making consistent, potent edibles is preparing the infused oil. Here’s how to do it for both low and high dosages.
For Low Dosage:
- Use 1 syringe of RSO (approximately 730 mg THC).
- Heat your oil on low in a pot.
- Once warmed, melt the RSO into the oil, stirring thoroughly.
- Transfer the infused oil into a dropper bottle using a funnel for easy dosing.
For High Dosage:
- Use 2 syringes of RSO (approximately 1,460 mg THC).
- Heat your oil on low, then melt the RSO into the oil.
- Transfer the mixture into a dropper bottle, ensuring it’s fully blended.
Dosage Calculation:
The dosage of your edibles depends on how much RSO you use and how many servings you create. Here’s a simple breakdown to help you calculate your doses:
Low Dosage:
- 2 syringes of RSO for 20 servings = 73 mg THC per serving
- 2 syringes of RSO for 30 servings = 97 mg THC per serving
- Adjust the number of servings based on your desired potency.
High Dosage:
- 2 syringes of RSO for 20 servings = 73 mg THC per serving
- 2 syringes of RSO for 30 servings = 97 mg THC per serving
- Adjust the number of servings based on your desired potency.
For beginners, it’s best to start with around 5-10 mg of THC per serving and wait at least 1-2 hours before consuming more.
Making Your RSO Edibles:
- Prepare your edible mix according to the recipe instructions (whether you’re making gummies, cookies, or brownies).
- Replace the regular oil in the recipe with your infused RSO oil.
- Mix well to ensure the RSO is evenly distributed throughout the batch.
- If you’re making gummies or shaped treats, pour the mixture into your molds.
- Let your edibles set, bake, or cool as directed by the recipe, and enjoy!
Important Notes:
RSO is extremely potent, so always measure your dosage carefully. Keep in mind that edibles take longer to take effect—usually 1-2 hours—so avoid taking more too quickly. Start with a small amount and be patient to avoid overconsumption.
Final Thoughts:
Making RSO edibles is a fun, flexible way to customize your cannabis experience. Whether you prefer a mild or strong dose, you can control the potency of your edibles based on the number of servings you make. From gummies to brownies, the possibilities are endless! Happy baking!
