Thanks, I will look into that. I watched a video about Rick Simpson. I'll have to find out how it's made.
Here is the video on making it:
I have never made it. I just found it about a month ago when a dog we _had_, had aggressive cancer and I started searching. Too late for our dog, but now I know (and many testimonials on dogs and beating the cancer the dog had.) But from all that I have seen and read about, to summarize:
- 1 lbs indica or indica predominant, bone dry bud (NOT stems, leaves, shake, trim, etc - the bud) with 20%+ THC and good CBD %. He prefers "white widow", but he knows one white widow from another is highly variable, so it is not an end all be all. But strong indica for the relaxation it gives, and the body needs to relax when healing. Indoor grown will cost more, due to costs to grow it. Outdoor grown is fine too, and should be cheaper (no light bills.)
- Wash in 2 rinses of pure light naphtha using a 2 x 2 stick to mix and break buds. (Pure, not with anything else in it), 3rd rinse is a waste and will start getting plant material / chlorophyll. ISO alcohol will work too, but need to filter better to remove chlorophyll. Some people use freezing grain alcohol, but he says naphtha gets the right spectrum of THC / CBD's etc and not the unwanted things outside that spectrum that other solvents will get. Naphtha (pure, light) is the choice.
- Boil off naphtha in rice cooker or another device (presto kitchen kettle / distiller) where temp control is just at / below water boiling point. OPEN AIR / NO FLAME, smoking, etc. This can take a couple hours.
- Add 5-10 drops of water close to end, as water boils at higher temp than naphtha.
- Move to a small steel measuring cup / bowl and put on coffee cup warmer or coffee machine warming plate and let all water / naphtha completely cook off. There should be no more bubbles. But don't burn the oil. Again, a couple hours. (Some people with the Presto thing say they just lower temp and leave in that, overnight even.)
- Package for use while warm. Will thicken when cool.
Should be a dark oil type color that will thicken to a sticky grease when cool. When smeared on white paper, the smear should ideally be golden honey amber colored without a green hue. No plant material / chunks in the oil. Final THC should be 95%+. Heating during this many hour long process will decarboxylate, which is needed. Shelf life should be many years if air tight, cool, dark place to store. Buying from someone else (Medical Dispensary, or other who says "yeah, I got RSO") will not promise right oil and may or may not be any good for the reasons you want it, unless it is someone who has saved others from cancers with the oil.
1 lbs of material to start will make about 60 grams of oil (more or less depending on material used and amount of resin, etc) If you want to start with 1/2 lbs, then about 30 grams should be output.
Start off with an amount that looks like 1/2 a grain of dry white rice. Build up to 1 gram a day (spread out through out day.) 60 grams should be about 3 months (because of the ramp up period) and should (according to testimonies) cure most cancers. Some take more / longer. Some take less. Skin cancers can go in a few days with the oil in a band aid left on the spot for a few days. Has supposedly helped with diabetes, skin ulcers, arthritis, wrinkles, bald spots, etc. Can put in gel caps and swallow / use as suppository, etc. No cancer or a maintenance dose is about a grain of rice every couple / few days.
Here is the link to make it from the man who rediscovered it (Rick Simpson):

Good luck. We need to share info like this. Let us know if you do it, and what it does for your uncle.
My goal is to make some to have on hand for when I or someone I know needs it.
