Hi,
I take the plunge on this great post because I have an experience with rso (I prefer to call it feco nowadays, for Full Extract Cannabis Oil).
In 2014 my dad told us that he had stage 4 pancreas cancer. Useless to say that it was too late.
Nevertheless my brother and I decided to make some oil out of a little crop growing in his garden.
We didn't save our poor father, but I can tell you this : he left this world with dignity, I mean he didn't suffer the pain from his cancer. At all. He didn't even use the morphin bag the doctor gave him back home. The oil was strong enough to bring him relief.
The year after that, I decided to go far away.
I landed in Pondicherry, India, where I spent 4 years full time. There, I could find cannabis for an incredibly low price.
So I decided to make oil again, to help some people suffering from insomnia and skin problems.
But alas, in this state (Tamil Nadu), it's impossible to find strong enough alcohol (I refuse to use any chemical).
So here what I did : I bought a water distiller, one looking like this :

Then I ran 2 or 3 times some cheap vodka I found there ; every time you run it, the ° of alcohol is up.
So I could make my feco.
Again, I have proof that the oil works wonder for insomnia. Then I gave some to my 80 years old mom. Now she sleeps like a baby ^^
And you could go on and on, there's no limit to the power of cannabis
Here's a file with over 1000 medical studies :
The main reason why it works so well f-has something to do with our endocannabinoid system, the one system that contribute to keep our body - and mind - in a state of balance - homeostasis
There is so much more to say about our beloved plant...
Historically, this is interesting :
"Experts are now convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that the active ingredient in Jesus’s anointing oil was cannabis."
Experts Now Certain The Key Ingredient In Jesus Christ's Anointing Oil Was Cannabis
Experts are now convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that the active ingredient in Jesus's anointing oil was cannabis. Arguably the most healing natural oil known to man, cannabis's relationship with civilization goes all the way back to the Egyptians.bit.ly
I would like to say some more things about creativity being enhanced by cannabis, but I feel it' doesn't belong to this thread... maybe there's a dedicated one on AFN ?

I can weigh in on RSO, I have made it a ton of times for my daughter to has Acute lymphoblstic Leukemia, and after reading this thread, I think I can help with a few things. First, Rick has a facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/ricksimpsonofficial/ and he does answer questions when asked,he also will post questions to his page, so if you have a question, it is most likely been answered. I have asked many of them. Next if you are using RSO for cancer, he has tested Everclear, and it does not produce high enough THC content for cancer, but most other diseases he says it will work on. For cancer optimum is 98% THC concentrate. I aim for at least 95% but think I get 98% because my dealer tried vaping some rso I made and it knocked him into the dirt for many hours, that was one hit, not the entire amount I gave him.
I use 99.9 and 99.99% isopropyl alcohol as my solvent, when a small amount of the rso is run across a piece of white paper, it is a beautiful amber color. That amber color when taken across a piece of paper is what you are looking for. It is always dark when sitting in a syringe, checking purity with paper is the only way I know how. It shouldn't be greenish colored when taken across the paper.
After making it many times (I make 2 oz at a time because that is about 1 week dose at 1 gram per day) I have found that using coffee filters are a bad idea, you lose a ton of product (because you have to keep changing out the filters), and it take forever, also the smell of the alcohol will drop kick your lungs. I have tried cheese cloth, faster but a ton of plant matter can get in. What I have found works the best for straining it is 4 layers of 150 thread white cotton sheets. Not only did I end up with more product with this method I have always gotten that sexy amber color.
I use a large mason jar for the first wash (and shake the living hell out of it for 3 min), strain it, then empty plant matter into a large glass bowel, and do my second wash using a steel fork to agitate it for another 3 min. I only use steel or glass when working with Isotropic alcohol. I grind mine down a little before I do the wash. A LITTLE not a lot. I have a ninja blender as my own personal grinder, but only pulse it. I don't want the weed to be powder, or really fine like when you put into a pipe, plant matter will slip though the filter if I do.
When I use my rice cooker, I point the fan slightly down to keep it a little cooler during cooking, and after I cook it, I put it on a candle warmer in a steel measuring cup and leave it there until all the bubbling is gone.
My daughter hates the taste of RSO, and gags when trying to put a blob in her mouth to swallow, so I put it into gel caps while it is still warm, and that seems to work well.
My daughter has never gotten high from it, but it did knock her out almost all day and night until she adjusted to it. Every time we change strains, she becomes very tired. So don't be shocked if you get your butt kicked all over again when you change strains.
I have my daughter drink milk or eat with it, when she doesn't it makes her feel sick to to tummy (I don't know if it makes others feel that way).
I know I am new to this forum, and I came here to learn how to grow my own bud for my daughter, and also find what auto strains actually have 20% or higher THC, but when it comes to RSO, I know a little, and wanted to share. Hope I didn't over step my bounds because I am new here.
I can attest to the fact that RSO works for Leukemia, it saved my daughters life.
Thank you for making this thread, I enjoyed reading it.
