RICK SIMPSON OIL
Due to popular demand, We take orders for the Edible RSO and delivery is approximately 48 hours from the confirmation of the order. Our process is strictly administered with Our clean green organic flowers to ensure that the Patient gets the absolute best product! And unlike many "fakes" out there, We do NOT dilute the RSO with Olive and/or Grape Seed Oil. Thus you get a more potent and pure RSO with super high viscosity and no "running" liquid seeping from the syringe. As with any product on the Internet, please educate yourself and if any questions arise, contact us for FACTS and leave the BS behind.

WHAT ARE CANNABINOIDS?
There are over 480 natural components found in Cannabis, of which 66 have been classified as "cannabinoids" (chemicals unique to the plant). The cannabinoids are separated into subclasses:
* Cannabigerols (CBG);
* Cannabichromenes (CBC);
* Cannabidiols (CBD);
* Tetrahydrocannabinols (THC);
* Cannabinol (CBN) and cannabinodiol (CBDL);
* Other cannabinoids (such as cannabicyclol (CBL), cannabielsoin (CBE), cannabitriol (CBT) and other miscellaneous types).
WHAT DO CANNABINOIDS DO?
Like opiates (substances derived from the opium poppy such as heroin), cannabinoids affect the user by interacting with specific receptors, located within different parts of the central nervous system. Two kinds of cannabinoid receptors have been found to date, and are termed CB1 and CB2. A substance called "anandamide" was discovered in 1992 that occurs naturally within the brain and binds to CB1 receptors. Additional naturally-occurring substances that bind to CB1 have since been discovered, and these, together with the receptors, are termed the "endogenous cannabinoid system".
The actual effects that cannabinoids exert are reflected in the areas of the brain they interact with. Interactions tend to occur in the limbic system (the part of the brain that affects memory, cognition and psychomotor performance) as well as along the mesolimbic pathway (activity in this region is associated with feelings of reward); cannabinoids also distribute widely in areas of pain perception.
We are still learning about the endogenous cannabinoid system. Much of the research has focused on the many potential medical uses of man-made cannabinoids, called "synthetic analogues".
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANNABINOIDS?
The major differences between the cannabinoids are due to the extent to which they are physiologically active. Three classes of cannabinoids--CBG, CBC, and CBD--are not known to have pronounced effects. THC, CBN, CBDL and a few other cannabinoids, on the other hand, are known to be physiologically active to varying degrees.
For example, CBD is thought to be a very effective anti-inflammatory, but it may also have anti-anxiety effects as well as lessen the psychoactive effects of THC. This means that a plant with a greater percentage of CBD may reduce the intensity of the effects of the THC, which in turn lowers the potency of the plant. Use of a cannabis plant with less CBD has been shown to have an increased physiological impact, and sometimes results in unwanted effects such as anxiety.
Also, when THC is exposed to air it oxidizes over time to form CBN. CBN is only very weakly psychoactive and, not unlike CBD, interacts with THC to reduce its effects. This is why cannabis that has been left out unused will have increased amounts of CBN and decreased amounts of THC and thus be less potent.
