How to Make Rick Simpson Oil

Rick Simpson Oil is a medicinal extract made from hemp plants (cannabis), typically of the indica strain. Those who use Rick Simpson Oil believe that it has healing properties when consumed or applied to the skin, such as lowering blood pressure or alleviating certain conditions. When making Rick Simpson Oil, it's essential to prepare and heat the ingredients in a well-ventilated area, far from open flames, stoves, or sparks. Follow the instructions carefully and take necessary precautions to ensure safety.

Place 450 g of dry hemp and 3.8 liters of isopropyl alcohol into a bucket. Using indica hemp for making Rick Simpson Oil is the most effective. Start by adding all the hemp into the bucket, followed by pouring in 3.8 liters of isopropyl alcohol.

• Use a wooden spoon to crush any large hemp chunks before adding the alcohol.
• The bucket you use should be large enough to hold 8-12 liters.

Stir the hemp and isopropyl alcohol thoroughly. Use a wooden spoon to crush the hemp after pouring in the alcohol. Continue stirring for about 3 minutes or until the hemp dissolves completely.

• At least 80% of the hemp will dissolve in the mixture.

Filter the hemp mixture through cheesecloth to extract the solvent. Pour the hemp solvent into a basin and let it settle for 1 minute. If cheesecloth is unavailable, you can use coffee filters as a substitute.

Mix the remaining hemp with 3.8 liters of isopropyl alcohol. Pour 3.8 liters of isopropyl alcohol into the bucket and stir the mixture until at least 80% of the hemp dissolves again. Discard the filtered alcohol in the bucket.

Filter the solvent from the hemp mixture again through cheesecloth. Discard the hemp residue after it has been separated from the mixture. Pour the filtered alcohol into the bucket with the remaining solvent.

• Discard the hemp residue after filtering out the isopropyl alcohol.

Place the rice cooker in a well-ventilated area. The alcohol vapor may be released from the rice cooker as the solvent dissolves. Since isopropyl alcohol is highly flammable, make sure to keep it away from open flames, stovetops, sparks, and cigarettes while heating the solvent.

• Isopropyl alcohol is flammable and should not be heated near open flames or sparks.

Pour the alcohol into the rice cooker. Pour the alcohol into the rice cooker until it's about ¾ full. Cover it and set the rice cooker to a temperature between 99°C – 110°C.

• Although you can cook isopropyl alcohol in a slow cooker, it's not recommended. Hemp can burn if the mixture gets hotter than 150°C.
• Save the remaining isopropyl alcohol for later. As the alcohol evaporates, slowly add more solvent until it’s all used up.

Occasionally check and add more alcohol as it evaporates. Wait until half of the isopropyl alcohol has evaporated. Continue to add alcohol to the rice cooker until it’s again ¾ full. Add a few drops of water (about 10 drops for every 480 ml of alcohol added) to prevent the oil from getting too hot as the solvent evaporates.

Wait until the oil turns dark and sticky. Once all the solvent has been added to the rice cooker and the alcohol has fully evaporated, the only remaining liquid in the pot will be the oil. The oil will have a thick, sticky texture and a dark color once the alcohol has completely evaporated.

Extract the oil using a plastic syringe. Dip the syringe’s tip into the oil, slowly pull the plunger to draw the oil into the syringe. Remove the syringe and seal it with the plastic cap to prevent spilling.

• Do not pour isopropyl alcohol into another container. You may need to extract the oil multiple times.
• Store the Rick Simpson oil in the syringe until it’s ready for use.

Take 5-9 drops of Rick Simpson oil daily to experience its healing benefits. Each drop is about the size of half a rice grain or a full grain. Gradually increase the dosage from a small drop to a larger one over the course of a few days or weeks, especially if you have never used hemp oil before. An average person will need about 3-5 weeks to reach the maximum recommended dose of Rick Simpson oil.

• Some advocates of alternative medicine believe that a daily dose of Rick Simpson oil can help alleviate chronic pain, reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, or ease symptoms of chronic conditions such as cancer or diabetes.
• Place the oil under your tongue for better absorption.
• Don’t worry about feeling “high” from Rick Simpson oil. Although it’s made from hemp (cannabis), the product doesn’t contain a strong enough concentration to cause intoxication.

Apply 1-2 drops of Rick Simpson oil to your skin with cream or ointment. Mix 1-2 drops of Rick Simpson oil with a skin moisturizer or herbal ointment and rub it onto your skin. Apply once daily.

• Coconut oil blends very well with Rick Simpson oil.
• Theoretically, when applied topically with a cream or ointment, Rick Simpson oil works similarly to when it is ingested.

Mix Rick Simpson oil into food if you don’t like the taste. Add 1-3 drops of Rick Simpson oil to your favorite sauces and use it during meals. If you don’t like taking the oil directly but want to consume it orally, you can add it to dips or jams to mask the taste.

• Rick Simpson oil used with food is just as effective as taking it on its own.
• You can also place the oil into capsules and take it like medication.

Apply Rick Simpson oil onto a bandage to treat wounds. If you plan to use Rick Simpson oil to heal a wound, drop a few drops onto a bandage. Secure the bandage around the wound and change it every 3-4 days.

Seek medical assistance alongside using Rick Simpson oil. While it is believed to help alleviate symptoms of certain illnesses, Rick Simpson oil is not a cure-all or a replacement for medical treatment. You should consult your doctor before adding Rick Simpson oil to your treatment plan and continue with your usual medical care as you did before using the oil.

• For example, if you suffer from high blood pressure, you should still visit your doctor while using alternative therapies.
