Rick Simpson now recommends Isopropyl or Methanol extraction instead of Naphtha. https://www.leafly.com/news/cannabis-101/what-is-rick-simpson-oil

FECO is full extract cannabis oil, which contains all the RSO target elements and can be done using ethanol. https://graywolfslair.com/index.php/diy-cannamed-production/9-4-extraction/9-4-7-ethanol-extraction/9-4-7-1-qwet

Extracting with alcohol and then evaporating away the alcohol also evaporates away some of the target terpenes. The best way to extract and retain those terpenes is to use a vegetable oil extraction, as it isn't reduced by evaporation.

I no longer make RSO, too much "immediate attention" required for a rather long process.

For pain & sleep it's coconut oil time around here.
Decarb your weed & slow-cook it in Coconut oil @ 200F for 8 or 12 hours. Strain & it's ready.
It makes a nice chocolate

You just make regular weed oil, with alcohol. Nothing special about Rick Simpson oil, other than he used toxic solvents. Then to use the weed oil you just mix about 1/3 of a gram with a small amount of vegetable oil, by warming it in a microwave for a few seconds. Olive oil works well and is nutritious. You take a piece of bread and soak it up with it, like you're eating some gravy. Burns a little going down but just eat some plain bread right after to scrape it down. That's a medium dose, for cancer treatment you would want more like 1/2 gram, which will lay you out, you'll do little besides sleep on that dose, but it's good for the body to rest anyway. I haven't tried more than that, not by weighing anyway, I did take some pretty big blobs without weighing before.

It can’t always be taken orally, some children with severe CP for example have trouble eating, even just swallowing.
Nice to have some tasty oil to dip bread into but that’s just not realistic for some.

I knew a child, gastrostomy fed(tube through tummy) take the oil just having it rubbed on his gums. Before taking the oil, his gums were so swollen his teeth were barely visible, a side effect from all the anti seizure medication. So bad that the Dr’s said this would be a permanent thing.
Only weeks after having the cannabis oil, his teeth were clearly visible, his gums looking perfectly healthy.
Hyper muscle tone, spasticity so bad his tendons were going to cut to relive the tension in his hands.
Disappeared after starting cannabis, completely relaxed his usual stiff muscles, you could see colour in his face.
They still don’t give cannabis to these sick kids, the first choice is toxic anti seizure meds, sometimes 4 or more at a time. Often this shit doesn’t work at all, so the solution is give more.
I think I use to get 4-6mil of oil per ounce of weed, better off using as much as you can because of the inherent but small waste that comes with rinsing

I make a lot of RSO for just being a user. We live in Oklahoma and can have six plants per licence. We use four licences to grow. No one around here smokes very much, maybe about an oz a month.

But, we do use RSO, a lot. Between friends and family there is cancer, arthitis, PTSD, and other things that are eased with RSO.

I have made it several different ways and have had everything from nasty black, green crud to fine honey. This is how we do it now and come up with nice oil with the least amount of waste.

Make bubble hash. It's not that hard to do and you get the kief. That's where most of the oil is. Use only enough Ever Clear to cover it. Shake it for about half a minute. You don't even have to freeze it because the only plant material in it would be the cuticuls from the trichromes. I use a vacuum filter to clean it up. BTW, a hand pump is the best for filtering. A lab pump here is an overkill.

Now use a still to remove almost all the EC. (Dry it by what ever mean you have.

This is a very important part: Finish drying out the EC and decarb. In a double boiler with MENERAL OIL in the bottom (water won't get it hot enough) bring the heat up to 242F (116C) for about 40 minutes from time the first pinhead size bubble. At first the bubbles will be larger. That's the EC evaporating around 150F to about 170F. Soon you will see smaller bubbles, and then the pinhead size bubbles. What you are looking for is for the pinhead bubbles to STOP. You are now dry and decarbed.
The reason I decarb this way is that there is no dought that the decarb is right because you see it happen.

This sounds like a lot of work but it's really easier with very little waste and you get about the same amount of oil.
