Rick Simpson Oil (commonly known as RSO) has become one of the most discussed high-potency cannabis concentrates in Ontario. At Pepe Cannabis Store in Burlington, many consumers come in curious about what RSO actually is, how it’s made, the history behind it, and how people are using it today.

Below, we break down everything you need to know about RSO, from its origins to its full-spectrum profile, plus a look at one of the most popular options available at our shop: Ellevia RSO 1g High-THC Full Spectrum Cannabis Oil.

What Is RSO?

RSO (Rick Simpson Oil) is a full-spectrum cannabis extract known for its dark, thick, resin-like consistency and high potency. Unlike distillates that isolate a single cannabinoid, RSO contains a wide range of naturally occurring compounds from the plant, including cannabinoids and terpenes.

Most enthusiasts appreciate RSO because:

• It delivers the full profile of the plant

• It's decarboxylated and ready to use

• It’s versatile and can be consumed in multiple ways

• It is typically very potent, making it popular among experienced consumers

Many people report that RSO offers strong, long-lasting effects due to its concentrated full-spectrum nature.

A Brief History of Rick Simpson Oil

RSO originated in the early 2000s when Rick Simpson, a Canadian engineer, created the oil while exploring cannabis extracts. His preparation method focused on pulling as many compounds from the plant as possible. Over time, this full-spectrum approach became popular among those seeking a powerful, unrefined cannabis oil.

Today, legal producers in Ontario use modern extraction techniques to create regulated, lab-tested versions of RSO that stay true to its full-spectrum roots while ensuring safety, consistency, and controlled THC levels.

Why Do People Use Rick Simpson Oil?

Many cannabis consumers report that RSO provides stronger and more noticeable effects compared to other concentrates. Because it is decarboxylated and full-spectrum, enthusiasts often choose RSO when they want:

• Potent, long-lasting THC effects

• A product that retains natural cannabinoids and terpenes

• A versatile concentrate that can be used sublingually or incorporated into food

Some consumers also report using RSO for wellness-oriented routines, although experiences vary widely from person to person, and everyone responds differently.
