## **What Is Rick Simpson Oil (RSO)? The Truth Behind the Legend**

Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) is one of the most famous—and misunderstood—cannabis extracts in the world. Its story begins in **2003**, when a Canadian man named **Rick Simpson** claimed that applying concentrated cannabis oil to his skin cancer lesions made them disappear.

Simpson, a **power engineer with no medical training**, began producing and giving away his oil for free to cancer patients and others suffering from chronic pain, diabetes, glaucoma, and more. His 2005 documentary, *Run From The Cure*, spread his story globally, making RSO a household name in cannabis communities.

### **The Problem with Traditional RSO**
While Simpson’s advocacy helped bring cannabis into mainstream conversations, his original **RSO protocol had serious limitations**:

| **Issue** | **Traditional RSO** | **OilWell’s Modern RSO** |
|———–|———————|————————–|
| **Solvent Safety** | Made with **naphtha (lighter fluid) or isopropyl alcohol**—both toxic if not fully purged | **Solvent-free production**—no residual chemicals |
| **Cannabinoid Profile** | **THC-dominant (60-90%)**, no standardization | **7 cannabinoids (CBD, CBG, Delta-8, THCa, Delta-9, CBN, CBC)** at precise ratios |
| **Terpenes** | **Destroyed by heat**—no entourage effect | **Live terpenes at 5%** for enhanced benefits |
| **Dosing Precision** | **No lab testing**—potency varies wildly | **553mg/mL**—exact dosing with a graduated dropper |
| **Psychoactivity** | **Always psychoactive** (fully decarboxylated) | **Patient-controlled potency**—use raw (non-psychoactive) or decarb for full effects |
| **Legality** | **Illegal in most places** (Schedule I) | **Farm Bill-compliant**—legal nationwide, ships to Porter County |

Simpson’s protocol called for **60 grams of oil over 90 days**—a **massive dose (600-900mg THC/day)** that far exceeds what’s studied in clinical settings. While some patients reported benefits, **no controlled human trials** have ever validated his claims.

### **What Simpson Got Right (And Where He Overstated)**
Simpson was **right about one thing**: Cannabis deserves serious scientific study. His advocacy helped pave the way for **legal cannabis research**, leading to FDA-approved drugs like **Epidiolex (CBD for epilepsy)** and **Marinol (THC for nausea)**.

But he **overstated the evidence** when he claimed RSO could **cure cancer**. While **preclinical studies** (test tubes and mice) show that **THC and CBD can slow tumor growth**, **no human trials** have proven that RSO—or any cannabis product—**cures cancer**.

**The National Cancer Institute (NCI) states:**
> *”Cannabinoids may have benefits in the treatment of cancer-related side effects. However, the FDA has not approved cannabis or cannabinoids for the treatment of cancer.”*

**Bottom Line:**
RSO is **not a cancer cure**, but it **may help manage symptoms** like pain, nausea, and insomnia—especially when combined with **evidence-based treatments**.
