My Experience with Rick Simpson Oil

[GrowGoddess]

Ok...I'm still warming on the coffee warmer. LOTS of bubbles...but its more like a foam. They don't seem to be popping. Should I just let it keep going until they are all gone by themselves? Should I stir? If I leave it on the warmer too long will it burn the oil?

Stir it around with a toothpick. Sometimes I will put some coins between the coffee cup warmer and metal dish the oil is in to regulate the heat better.

I have noticed with the transparent oil (made using a quick frozen wash with top shelf, bone dry buds) it can be runnier and more difficult to purge the alcohol. I also noticed that some of the bubbles are actually air bubbles. What I do is turn it off, cover it with a baggie so no dust can get in it and leave it off overnight. Warm it back up the next morning. You may need to let it cool down and warm it back up a couple of times to get all of the air bubbles out.

Certainly, do not over heat it. It will ruin the oil if you do.

I want to cure a cancer! What is the oil dosage? Are you loking for "patients"? or subjects for astudy? I'm very interested!

If you are referring to me, I would love to be able to march forward. However, just recently in Michigan a COA ruling has banned all concentrates. I can't make anymore oil until it gets to the Supreme Court and reverses that ruling. It is just too bad.

As far as dosage, it depend upon the potency of the oil. Rule of thumb, three equal size doses per day. On average, a gram per day (cc). Super elite oil, may only require 1/2 gram per day. Lower grade oil may require two to four grams per day. If a dose the size of a grain of rice taken three times per day blows your mind, then one gram per day should be just fine.

Thanks for the info GrowGoddess, will hit Amazon.com tonight. Just out of curiosity, I've noticed folks here always talking about 3 portions per day about the size of a grain of rice to equal a gram. When I squirt the syringe onto a piece of bread I usually end up with a line about 4 inches in length, much larger than the 3 grains of rice reference. I know the scale I use is good (Mettler) because a brass test weight of 50 grams registers 49.937 on it. Is it just me or have others experienced the same scenario? Possible reason?

to further explain, it is best for a patient to start off with doses around the size of a grain of rice three times per day to see how the oil effects them. Then work your way up to larger doses, three times per day to work up to doses that will equal to about one gram per day. Typically it is around three pea size doses to equal one gram. Some patients can take more, some can only handle less.
It is not actually by gram, it is more measured by cc or mL. Basically people consider 1 mL or 1 cc equaling a gram. It is close.

I have one of those brass weights too! Coincidentally the only one I have is a 50gram weight. The older nickles weigh exactly 5 grams. Sometimes they say 4.9 or 5.1, but when I stack up 10 of them it always read 50 grams on my digitals. The new nickles are lighter.

Hello to all, I am a newbie on here. Long time advocate but now am faced with some rheumatic issues that I'm trying to deal with. I was wondering If I could get some help. I recently made my first batch of oil. I was reluctant to use any solvents just in case I didn't do something right. I decided to use Everclear 151. I figured even if it has got to be awful tasting and awful for you, at least it was made for consumption? Anyway, I put about 2 gallon freezer bags of trim and popcorn from a recent grow of purple elephant and another heavy indica dominant strain. I let it soak in the everclear for weeks, shaking periodically. I strained the liquid, squeezing all I could through cheesecloth as well as through a coffee filter into a pyrex dish that I sat on top of an Oster flameless burner. It took a long time to evaporate. Eventually everthing appeared to bubble off. It actually even seemed to get a little hot being on low once most of the alcohol evaporated but I quickly removed it. I poured it into some containers. I was concerned about sucking it up into the plastic syringes because of the oil being warm and the plastic syringes, maybe it was cause toxins from the plastic to leech into the oil? Maybe I'm worried about nothing? I also didn't add any hemp seed oil or thin it so my oil has become fairly thick as it has cooled. I was just wondering if someone would comment on if everything sounds ok? Since I didn't think it, I thought maybe it would just be potent and would have to start with very very tiny (grain of rice) doses. Any suggestions/comments would be appreciated. Thank you and good health to all!

My only comment would be is to read this thread from the beginning.

GrowGoddess,

You seem super knowledgeable - quick question for you - I'm a little unclear as to whether RSO is available for purchase within different states of the USA. For instance, it sounds like you used to actually produce it and provide it to patients in MI for a while, but then had to stop until your MI Supreme Court made a judgement about its legality. Do you happen to know if it is available for purchase in states like CA/WA/CO?

Apologies up-front - I'm new to this whole area, but I'm convinced from all my research that I need to obtain RSO - now I'm just stuck as to how and where. Any guidance would be much appreciated.

I don't keep up too much on other state's mmj laws, but From what I understand, in CA it can be purchased, but you are not allowed to make it. Crazy as it sounds. I believe you must be a CA registered mmj patient though.

I don't really know much about CO or WA, however in 2014 you may be able to purchase it over the counter in CO.

Regardless, typically oil that is for sale is below par. As always, I highly recommend obtaining quality buds and make the oil yoursel

Hello,
My mom had a ovary cancer in 2007 and she had immediately 6 courses of chimo. In 2010 she got her tumor marks sky high and they did the scan and saw the cancer cell spread to few of her lymphs. She got a surgical intervention and got them all removed following another 6 courses of chimo. In mid 2011 she had another surgery to clean more lyphs following another course of 6 chimo therapies. In mid 2012 she had another course of chimo but her scans show no spread or major organ damages. She just recently went to get tested and her tumor marks are almost 100 and she is about to get scanned this week. I assume they will do another set of therapies as much as she can tolerate.
My question is in regards to the RSO, is it going to yield any results by maintaining her tumor markers low and hopefully even eliminate them. I will be making the oil myself if I am unable to locate a reliable vendor here in California.
She will most likely start chemos as the markers off the charts currently and I will have the oil for her ready when she is off the chemo.
I was interested in contacting the member Vacko from page two on this thread as he had similar problem with his wife but he stopped sharing his experience with the oil like an year ago. I would really appreciate if I could send him a personal message on the board but I tried and it does not allow me to do so.
I would appreciate any feedback in the success of RSO with this sort of cancer issues.
Thank you folks for the awesome thread so far. I am sure it gave hope and more options to many people victims to cancer.
