RSO Explained: We Tried Rick Simpson Oil—Here’s What Happened

<p>RSO has one of the biggest reputations in cannabis—but what is Rick Simpson Oil, how do you use it, and what does it actually feel like?</p><p>In this episode of Cannabis School, Brandon and Jesse try a small amount of RSO from Hoodoo Cannabis. This one-gram syringe contains approximately 694 mg of THC, along with smaller amounts of CBN, CBG, and CBC. Needless to say, this is some seriously concentrated cannabis.</p><p>We get into the thick, sticky texture, the strong cannabis taste, and why measuring a “grain-of-rice-sized” amount is more difficult than it sounds. The effects begin showing up surprisingly quickly, giving us a calm, focused, and functional experience instead of the traditional euphoric high we expected.</p><p>For us, the experience seemed better suited for staying active and getting things done than sitting around waiting to feel high. We also discuss the importance of accurate dosing, why capsules may offer more consistency, and why RSO should be approached carefully—especially by anyone without a strong THC tolerance.</p><p>We also examine the history behind Rick Simpson Oil and the personal stories that helped build its reputation. RSO is often discussed in connection with cancer, pain, nausea, seizures, digestive conditions, and other serious health concerns. However, personal stories are not the same as clinical evidence, and cannabis should never replace professional medical care.</p><p>In this episode:</p><ul><li>What RSO and Rick Simpson Oil actually mean</li><li>The Hoodoo Cannabis RSO syringe and cannabinoid profile</li><li>Why RSO is so dark, thick, sticky, and difficult to handle</li><li>How a very small amount tasted and felt</li><li>How quickly we began noticing the effects</li><li>Calm focus, body effects, and our pain experience</li><li>Why the experience didn’t feel like a traditional high</li><li>The history and reputation surrounding Rick Simpson</li><li>Why extreme THC doses and self-treatment can be risky</li><li>RSO capsules versus dosing directly from a syringe</li><li>Why licensed products, clear labels, and responsible dosing matter</li><li>Our final verdict on whether RSO is worth exploring</li></ul><p>Chapters:</p><p>00:00 Welcome to Cannabis School<br>00:22 Hoodoo Cannabis RSO<br>01:05 Ways people consume RSO<br>01:23 Potency and cannabinoid profile<br>01:53 What does RSO mean?<br>02:17 Trying a small amount<br>03:28 The effects begin<br>04:01 Medical stories and claims<br>07:37 Rick Simpson and the history o
