Crafting Quality Rick Simpson Oil: The Superiority of Everclear



Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) has become a staple in the cannabis community, and for a good reason. As a potent cannabis extract with a range of applications, its quality largely depends on the method and materials used in its extraction. One such crucial decision is the choice of solvent. In this blog post, we'll explore why Everclear stands out as a superior choice over other alternatives.

Understanding Rick Simpson Oil (RSO):
RSO is a dark, thick oil made from the cannabis plant. Traditionally, it's been used as a form of alternative medicine, particularly for those seeking relief from various ailments. With its high concentration of cannabinoids, RSO offers therapeutic attributes that have garnered attention worldwide.

Everclear: The Gold Standard for RSO Extraction:
While various solvents can be employed in the RSO production process, Everclear rises above the rest for its purity and safety. As a food-grade alcohol, Everclear assures users of a product that's free from harmful contaminants. Its use results in a cleaner, purer end product that's both safe for consumption and possesses the full range of therapeutic benefits.

  • Why Everclear?
    • Everclear is grain alcohol and is designed for consumption, ensuring that it doesn't leave behind harmful residues.
    • Its high alcohol content ensures efficient extraction of cannabinoids.
    • It ensures a cleaner taste and more effective decarboxylation due to its purity.

Step-by-Step Guide: Making RSO with Everclear:
To craft your own high-quality RSO, follow these steps:

  1. Materials Needed:

    • Cannabis buds (preferably high-quality and free from pesticides)
    • Everclear alcohol
    • Rice cooker
    • Syringe or small container for storage
    • Coffee filters
    • Stainless steel bowl and utensil

  2. Preparation:

    • Begin by grinding the cannabis buds until they're finely ground but not powdery.

  3. Extraction Process:

    • Place the ground cannabis in the stainless steel bowl.
    • Pour Everclear over the cannabis until it's just covered.
    • Gently stir the mixture for about 3-5 minutes.
    • Use the coffee filter to strain the liquid into a clean bowl, separating the plant material.

  4. Purification:

    • Pour the strained liquid into a rice cooker. This will ensure consistent heat, crucial for the evaporation process.
    • As the liquid heats, the alcohol will start to evaporate. Continuously add the remaining mixture to keep the level consistent.
    • Once all the alcohol has evaporated, you'll be left with a thick, dark oil. This is your RSO.

  5. Storage Tips:

    • Use a syringe to draw up the RSO, ensuring minimal air exposure. Store in a cool, dark place.

Safety Precautions:
Working with Everclear requires certain safety measures:

  • Always work in a well-ventilated area to prevent the build-up of alcohol fumes.
  • Alcohol is flammable. Keep away from open flames and be aware of heated surfaces.
  • Always ensure that all equipment is clean and safe to use.

Conclusion:
Choosing Everclear for your RSO production guarantees a product of superior quality and safety. By prioritizing health over makeshift alternatives, you ensure that your RSO maintains its therapeutic integrity.
