This type of concentrate is a whole plant extract, thereby maximizing the potential entourage effects of the selected strain by including terpenes, flavonoids, and all other minor chemicals of the plant. Cresco Labs RSO product lines are strain specific, so there is also no mixing of terpenes from different strains. Smoking cannabis as an ingestion method is not the most ideal avenue. This is mainly because smoke inherently contains carcinogenic chemicals (meaning known to cause cancer), which naturally occur in all forms of smoke as byproducts of combustion. Choosing ingestion in place of smoking would allow a patient to avoid the potentially damaging effects or irritation of smoke. It could also be possible to utilize RSO as a topical treatment. In Rick Simpson’s documentary “Run From The Cure“, Rick proudly tells the world that he believes he cured his skin cancer using his RSO to topically treat himself (To be clear, his claims have yet to be confirmed by mainstream scientific research). Patients can easily release their dose from the RSO package, and consume a measured amount of cannabis concentrate per their treatment plan.
