Just about every incredible cannabis-related healing story you hear about on the internet comes from this specialized full extract cannabis oil. It's the most sought-after cannabis oil available—but it's also the most elusive.
Here's the problem: Finding a quality source of RSO you can actually rely on has been next to impossible. Until now.
Whether you're completely new to cannabis oils or you've been searching for a dependable source of therapeutic-grade RSO, this comprehensive guide will give you everything you need to know about Rick Simpson Oil, how it works, why it's so effective, and how to find quality RSO you can trust.
Video: What is Rick Simpson Oil (RSO)? What Makes It So Special?
🔬 What is RSO (Rick Simpson Oil)?
Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) is named after Rick Simpson, a Canadian cannabis advocate who developed this specialized extraction method for his own health conditions, specifically skin cancer. After experiencing remarkable results himself, Rick Simpson helped countless others overcome cancer and various chronic conditions before relocating from Canada.
Key Facts About RSO:
✅ Highly Concentrated Cannabis Extract – Contains 65-70% or more of active cannabinoids
✅ Full Spectrum – Preserves all beneficial plant compounds including cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and phytonutrients
✅ Whole Plant Extraction – Uses the entire cannabis plant (primarily flower) to capture maximum therapeutic potential
✅ Ethanol Extracted – Made with 100% Organic, 200 Proof, Food Grade Ethanol for purity and safety
✅ Therapeutic Grade – Specifically formulated for serious health conditions like cancer, chronic pain, and neurological disorders
RSO is the end product of a simple whole plant extraction technique that yields a highly concentrated and potent oil. When done correctly, this extraction process ensures that all beneficial components of the plant are present and intact.
🌱 What is FECO (Full Extract Cannabis Oil)?
FECO stands for Full Extract Cannabis Oil. The terms "RSO" and "FECO" are often used interchangeably, though there are some subtle differences:
RSO specifically refers to Rick Simpson's extraction method and typically uses ethanol or naphtha as the solvent
FECO is a broader term that usually refers to extracts made exclusively with food-grade alcohol (ethanol)
Both produce potent, tar-like oils with similar therapeutic properties
At MOVIDA and My Fit Life, we use the term FECO to emphasize our commitment to using only 100% Organic, 200 Proof, Food Grade Ethanol—never harsh solvents like naphtha or isopropyl alcohol that other producers might use.
Why the Solvent Matters:
The solvent used in extraction is critical. Food-grade ethanol is safe for human consumption (it's essentially pure grain alcohol derived from plants for plants). While it costs 5-10 times more than other extraction solvents, it allows for the safe extraction of ALL cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and phytonutrients without leaving behind toxic residues.

👁️ The Physical Characteristics of RSO
If you've never seen RSO before, here's what to expect:
Appearance:
Color: Dark green to black (appears almost black but is actually very dark green)
Consistency: Thick, sticky, gooey, tar-like substance
Texture: Dense and extremely viscous—it literally won't fall out of a container when turned upside down
Concentration:
RSO is incredibly concentrated. To put this in perspective:
1 pound of cannabis flower (454 grams) yields approximately 50-60 grams of RSO
This means RSO is roughly 8-9 times more concentrated than the original plant material
Cannabinoid Profile:
65-70% Major Cannabinoid (THC or CBD, depending on the strain)
5-10% Other Cannabinoids (CBC, CBG, CBN, etc.)
Total: 70-75% Active Cannabinoids
25-30% Other Beneficial Compounds (terpenes, flavonoids, isoflavones, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, chlorophyll, and other phytonutrients)
This specialized extraction contains extremely high concentrations while maintaining the integrity of essential plant compounds that work together synergistically.
⚗️ How RSO is Made: The Extraction Process
Understanding how RSO is made helps you appreciate why quality varies so dramatically between producers.
The Basic Process:
Plant Material Preparation – High-quality cannabis flower (primarily, with minimal stalk material) is prepared
Solvent Wash – Cannabis buds are washed with the solvent (ethanol in our case)
Extraction – The solvent pulls cannabinoids, terpenes, and other beneficial compounds from the plant
Filtration – Plant material is filtered out
Evaporation – The solvent is carefully evaporated at controlled temperatures
Collection – What remains is the thick, concentrated RSO
Curing (Optional) – Additional curing process to enhance quality
Our Proprietary Extraction System:
At MOVIDA, we've spent 17 years developing our proprietary extraction process:
✅ Whole Plant Extraction – Mostly hemp flower, no major stalks
✅ Sub-Zero Extraction – Conducted at -30 to -40 degrees Celsius to preserve delicate compounds
✅ 100% Organic, 200 Proof, Food Grade Ethanol – The purest solvent available
✅ USDA Certified Organic Facility – For hemp extraction
✅ Small Batch Production – Ensures quality and consistency with every batch
✅ Soil-to-Oil Oversight – Complete control from seed to final product
The extraction process typically takes about 4 days in the lab, plus an additional 3 days of curing to ensure optimal quality.
⭐ What Makes RSO Special? The Science Behind the Oil
RSO isn't just another cannabis product. Here's what sets it apart:
1. Extremely High Cannabinoid Concentration
RSO regularly produces 65-75% total active cannabinoids, including:
THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) – The primary psychoactive cannabinoid
CBD (Cannabidiol) – Non-psychoactive, therapeutic cannabinoid
CBC (Cannabichromene) – Anti-inflammatory properties
CBG (Cannabigerol) – The "mother cannabinoid"
CBN (Cannabinol) – Sedative properties
2. Full Spectrum Extract
Unlike isolated cannabinoid products (like pure CBD crystals or THC distillate), RSO contains:
Full cannabinoid profile – All cannabinoids working together
Essential terpenes – Aromatic compounds with therapeutic properties
Flavonoids – Plant compounds with antioxidant effects
Isoflavones – Phytoestrogens with health benefits
Other phytonutrients – Including chlorophyll, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids
3. Maintains Plant Integrity
The ethanol extraction process, when done correctly at proper temperatures, maintains the therapeutic integrity of all plant compounds. Nothing beneficial is lost or destroyed in the extraction process.
4. Dual Polarity Extraction
This is critical: Ethanol has dual polarity, meaning it pulls both polar and non-polar constituents from the plant. Other solvents like CO2 or butane (BHO) have single polarity and therefore extract less nutrition from the plant.
This is why ethanol-extracted RSO works better than CO2 or BHO extracts for serious conditions.
🎭 The Entourage Effect: Why Whole Plant Extraction Matters
You've probably heard the term "entourage effect," but what does it really mean?
The True Entourage Effect:
Most people think the entourage effect is just about cannabinoids working together. That's only part of the story.
The entourage effect is a holistic process where ALL essential plant nutrients—including cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, isoflavones, chlorophyll, and other compounds—work together synergistically to produce an enhanced therapeutic benefit.
Think of it like an orchestra. You could have a solo violin (isolated CBD), and it might sound nice. But when you have the entire orchestra playing together—violins, cellos, brass, percussion, all in harmony—you get a much more powerful, moving experience. You literally have a symphony of health and healing running through your body
Why This Matters for Your Health:
🔹 Whole plant extraction boosts RSO's therapeutic potential far beyond isolated compounds
🔹 More powerful than isolated cannabinoids alone – Pure THC or pure CBD can't match the effectiveness
🔹 Produces beneficial results through synergistic action – All nutrients working as a team
🔹 Maximum bioavailability – Your body can actually use these compounds effectively
Real-World Example:
I went blind from glaucoma and regained my vision using RSO. But here's the interesting part: If I take pure CBD, pure THC, or even CO2-extracted full spectrum oil, I go blind.
Only ethanol-extracted RSO with the complete plant profile keeps my vision intact. That's the power of the true entourage effect.

🧬 Understanding Your Endocannabinoid System
Here's something most people don't know: You have an endocannabinoid system in your body that NEEDS to be fed with cannabinoids in order for your body to operate at optimal levels.
What is the Endocannabinoid System (ECS)?
Every mammal with a spine or vertebrae—including humans—has an endocannabinoid system. Your ECS affects every part of your body:
✅ Your bones and bone marrow
✅ Your muscles
✅ Your gastrointestinal system
✅ Your brain and central nervous system
✅ Your peripheral nervous system
✅ Your immune system
✅ Your hormonal system
✅ Your skin (third dermal layer down)
✅ Your organs
Cannabinoid Receptors Throughout Your Body:
Your body has cannabinoid receptors everywhere:
CB1 Receptors – Primarily in the brain and central nervous system
CB2 Receptors – Primarily in the immune system and peripheral tissues
CB3 Receptors – Recently discovered, still being researched
These receptors are literally all over your body—in your brain, skin, organs, bones, muscles, everywhere.
What Does the ECS Do?
Your endocannabinoid system is responsible for homeostasis in your body, which means balance.
Think about pH balance: Your body can't be completely alkaline or completely acidic—you'd be in serious ill health either way. You need to be balanced at about 7.35 pH (slightly alkaline). That's homeostasis.
Your ECS regulates:
Metabolism – Energy storage and usage
Appetite – Hunger and fullness levels
Pain perception – How you experience and process pain
Immune function – Your body's defense system
Mood and stress response – Anxiety, depression, emotional balance
Sleep cycles – Rest and recovery
Inflammation – Your body's healing response
Memory and cognition – Brain function and clarity
Hormone production – ALL hormones, not just one
The Endocannabinoid System as Librarian Analogy:
Here's how it works at the cellular level:
All your cells are made in your bone marrow—your heart cells, liver cells, muscle cells, kidney cells, all of them. They're all exactly the same when they're created.
When a cell travels to its destination (let's say your heart), it needs instructions on how to become a heart cell and function properly.
Your DNA is like a massive library with instruction books for every type of cell in your body. But the cell can't find the right instruction book by itself—it would be lost in the library.
The ECS is the librarian. It goes into the DNA library, finds the specific instruction book that cell needs (the "heart cell instruction manual"), and delivers it to the cell.
This is called gene expression, and cannabinoids are responsible for 90-95% of gene expression in your body.
What Happens Without Enough Cannabinoids?
Without daily supplementation of bioavailable cannabinoids, your body will not function properly and will start to break down.
Think of it like this: If your cells don't get the right instructions, they can't do their jobs correctly. This leads to:
Chronic pain and inflammation
Nervous system dysfunction (neuropathy, numbness, tingling)
Hormonal imbalances
Immune system problems
Metabolic disorders
Cognitive issues
And much more
With daily RSO supplementation, you feed your endocannabinoid system, allowing your body to operate at optimal levels—both physically and mentally.
💚 How RSO Benefits You: Conditions & Applications
RSO contains the largest spectrum of cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids available. Because of its potency, many consider RSO to be the most effective of all cannabis and hemp extracts.
Who Takes RSO & Why?
After working with thousands of clients over nearly four decades, here are the most common reasons people take RSO:
🎗️ Cancer (Most Common)
Cancer—particularly aggressive cancers—is the #1 condition I see people using RSO for in 2024-2026. There are three main reasons:
To help fight the cancer – Clinical trials show over 75% success rate across 10,000+ studies
To reduce pain and discomfort – Both from cancer itself and from allopathic treatments (chemo, radiation)
Note: RSO often keeps working when morphine stops
To increase sleep and appetite – Critical for healing and quality of life
🔥 Chronic Pain
RSO is amazing for helping people with various causes of chronic pain:
Pain from injury or surgery
Pain of unknown origin
Joint pain and arthritis
Neuropathy (nerve pain)
Migraines and headaches
Fibromyalgia
Lower back pain
Post-surgical pain
Personal Note: I was a hardcore powerlifter for decades with multiple injuries. I had chronic pain, numbness in my lower back, and couldn't drive for more than 45 minutes without having to stop and stretch. After taking RSO consistently, I don't have pain anywhere anymore.
🧠 Mental Health Conditions
It's amazing how well RSO helps people overcome:
Anxiety
Stress
Depression
Panic attacks
PTSD
Many clients who've been on psychiatric medications since childhood (some since age 5) have been able to get off those medications and stay off them for years—not just temporarily, but with sustained success.
👁️ Glaucoma
This is my personal condition. I was told as a young boy I had the markers for glaucoma and would likely go blind one day. At 30 years old, my glaucoma became active.
After 17 years of searching for solutions in holistic health, I discovered RSO. It stopped my vision loss and eventually restored my sight. I've been taking RSO daily for over a decade, and it's the only thing that keeps me from going blind.
My vision starts to deteriorate within 24 hours without RSO, and I'd go completely blind in less than a week.
🏥 Other Conditions RSO Helps:
Lupus – Autoimmune condition
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) – Neurological disorder
Epilepsy and Seizures – Neurological conditions
POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome)
Chronic Fatigue
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
Crohn's Disease
Parkinson's Disease
Alzheimer's and Dementia
Skin Cancer (topical application)
Post-Surgery Recovery
Post-Injury Recovery
Hospice Care (pain management when morphine stops working)
🌟 Additional Benefits:
Beyond treating specific conditions, RSO helps with:
Clarity and Focus – Enhanced mental function
Confidence – Improved self-assurance
Mental Recall – Better memory
Sleep Quality – Deeper, more restorative sleep
Appetite Regulation – Healthy hunger signals
Energy Levels – Better metabolism and energy storage
Overall Wellness – True whole-plant holistic nutrition
⚖️ RSO vs Other Cannabis Oils: Why Quality Matters
Not all cannabis oils are created equal. Here's why RSO stands apart from other extracts:
RSO/FECO (Ethanol Extracted) ✅
Solvent: 100% Organic, 200 Proof, Food Grade Ethanol
Pros:
✅ Dual polarity extraction (pulls both polar and non-polar compounds)
✅ Extracts the largest spectrum of cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and phytonutrients
✅ Food-safe solvent (you could drink it without dying—you'd just get drunk)
✅ Preserves all beneficial plant compounds when done correctly
✅ Maximum therapeutic potential through entourage effect
✅ Works for the most serious, hardcore conditions
Cons:
❌ More expensive to produce (ethanol costs 5-10x more than other solvents)
❌ Requires expertise and careful temperature control
❌ Harder to find quality, consistent sources
CO2 Extracted Oils ⚠️
Solvent: Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Pros:
✅ Clean extraction method
✅ No toxic residues
✅ Widely available (99% of dispensary oils use this method)
Cons:
❌ Single polarity extraction (doesn't pull as much nutrition from the plant)
❌ Missing key compounds that ethanol extraction captures
❌ Less effective for serious conditions
❌ Doesn't work for my glaucoma (I go blind on CO2 oils)
BHO (Butane Hash Oil) ⚠️
Solvent: Butane
Pros:
✅ High cannabinoid concentration
✅ Popular for recreational use
Cons:
❌ Single polarity extraction
❌ Toxic solvent (you would die if you drank butane)
❌ Potential for residual solvents in final product
❌ Missing beneficial compounds
❌ Less therapeutic than ethanol extraction
❌ Doesn't work for my glaucoma
Naphtha Extracted ⚠️
Solvent: Naphtha (petroleum-based)
Note: This was used in Rick Simpson's original method, but it's not ideal. Plus the Naptha in Canada back then was much different than it is today.
Cons:
❌ Toxic solvent (petroleum-based)
❌ Potential for harmful residues
❌ Not food-grade
❌ Safety concerns
Isolated Cannabinoids (Pure CBD or THC) ⚠️
Examples: CBD isolate crystals, THC distillate
Pros:
✅ Precise dosing
✅ No other compounds (for those who want only one cannabinoid)
Cons:
❌ Missing the entourage effect
❌ Far less effective than full spectrum extracts
❌ Doesn't work for serious conditions like cancer or glaucoma
❌ Your body can't utilize isolated compounds as effectively
The Bottom Line:
For serious, hardcore conditions like cancer, glaucoma, MS, lupus, and other systemic issues, you need ethanol-extracted RSO with the full plant profile.
Other extraction methods might work for mild conditions or general wellness, but when your health—or your life—is on the line, you need the real thing.
🌿 High THC RSO vs High CBD RSO: Which is Right for You?
This is one of the most important breakthroughs in RSO therapy: You don't have to get high to heal.
The Traditional Problem with RSO:
Historically, RSO has been THC-dominant, which means it gets you extremely high. We're talking blasted-out-of-your-mind, paranoid, can't-function high—even for seasoned cannabis enthusiasts.
The problem: If you need to take 600-1000mg per day to overcome a serious condition like cancer, you can't function at work, drive, or live your normal life.
Most people either:
Only take RSO at night (not getting enough for therapeutic effect)
Don't take it at all because they don't want to be high
Neither option is acceptable when you're fighting for your health.
The Solution: High CBD RSO
After two years of development and testing (on myself as Patient Zero), I created a high CBD version of RSO that works as good or better than high THC RSO—without getting you high.
High THC RSO (Traditional)
Cannabinoid Profile:
60-65% THC
5-10% other cannabinoids (CBD, CBC, CBG, CBN)
70-75% total cannabinoids
25-30% terpenes, flavonoids, and other phytonutrients
Best For:
People who don't mind getting high
Nighttime use
Severe pain that requires sedation
Those who prefer traditional RSO
Certain specific conditions that respond better to THC
Pros:
✅ Powerful pain relief
✅ Strong sedative effects (great for sleep)
✅ Appetite stimulation
✅ Traditional RSO formulation
Cons:
❌ Gets you very high
❌ Impairs motor skills
❌ Can't take during the day if you work
❌ May cause anxiety or paranoia in some people
❌ Can affect short-term memory
❌ Requires medical cannabis card in most states
❌ Can't travel with it easily
❌ Legal concerns in many areas
Available at: Movida (THC-dominant RSO)
High CBD RSO (Our Breakthrough Formula)
Cannabinoid Profile:
60-65% CBD
5-10% other cannabinoids (including <0.3% THC)
70-75% total cannabinoids
25-30% terpenes, flavonoids, and other phytonutrients
Special Note: It took two more years to develop this CBD dominant RSO formulation because it requires a specific cannabinoid profile of five different cannabinoids at certain detectable percentages to work effectively.
Best For:
Anyone who doesn't want to get high
Daytime use
People who work or need to drive
Those in states without medical cannabis programs
Anyone who wants maximum therapeutic benefit without impairment
Pros:
✅ Does NOT get you high
✅ Enhances motor skills (doesn't impair them)
✅ Can take throughout the day
✅ Take as much as you need without worry
✅ Increases confidence
✅ Improves mental clarity and recall
✅ Enhances short-term memory
✅ Reduces anxiety, stress, depression, panic attacks
✅ Legal nationwide (contains <0.3% THC)
✅ No prescription or medical card needed
✅ Can travel with it (plane, train, car)
✅ Can be mailed
✅ No legal worries
✅ Works as good or better than high THC for most people (including me)
Cons:
❌ Some people prefer the sedative effects of THC
❌ May not be as effective for severe insomnia (use THC at night instead)
Available at: My Fit Life (CBD-dominant RSO)
Why High CBD RSO is a Game-Changer:
For my glaucoma, the high CBD version actually works BETTER than the high THC version. This was a surprising discovery, but it makes sense when you understand the full cannabinoid profile and entourage effect.
About 95% of my clients who were taking pure CBD crystalline switched to high CBD RSO because:
It doesn't get them high
It helps with the same issues (anxiety, stress, pain)
But they report feeling "healthier" and "better overall" in ways they can't quite explain
That's the power of the full plant nutrition.
Can You Take Both?
Absolutely! Many people use a combination approach:
High CBD RSO during the day (stay functional, clear-headed)
High THC RSO at night (pain relief, deep sleep)
Or you can mix ratios:
600mg high CBD + 400mg high THC = 1000mg total daily dose
Customize based on your needs and response
There's no "fear of missing out" (FOMO)—you can have the benefits of both.
📊 RSO Dosing Protocols: How Much Should You Take?
After thousands of case studies over the years and testing everything on myself (Patient Zero), I've developed three dosing categories based on condition severity.
Important Note: These are general guidelines. Everyone's biology is different, which is why working with a knowledgeable practitioner is valuable.
Category 1: Maintenance Dose (50-100mg per day)
Best For:
General wellness and prevention
Mild to moderate conditions
Sleep issues
Mild pain or discomfort
Anxiety, stress, depression, panic attacks
Mental clarity, confidence, and recall
Maintaining success after overcoming a condition
Dosing:
50-100mg total per day
Can be taken all at once or split into 2-3 doses
This is a maintenance level
Conditions This Helps:
✅ Sleep problems
✅ Mild chronic pain
✅ Anxiety and stress
✅ Depression
✅ Panic attacks
✅ Brain fog
✅ Low confidence
✅ Memory issues
Category 2: Overcome & Maintain (200-400mg per day)
Best For:
Moderate to serious chronic conditions
Overcoming most health issues
Maintaining success for conditions that require higher doses
Dosing:
200-400mg total per day
Split into 3-4 doses throughout the day
This is an "overcome and maintain" level
Conditions This Helps:
✅ Moderate chronic pain
✅ Arthritis
✅ Neuropathy
✅ Migraines
✅ Inflammatory conditions
✅ Autoimmune issues
✅ Moderate anxiety/depression
✅ PTSD
✅ Fibromyalgia
✅ IBS and digestive issues
Note: After overcoming your condition at this level, some people can drop down to 50-100mg for maintenance. Others need to stay at 200-400mg to maintain their results.
Category 3: Hardcore Conditions (600-1000mg per day)
Best For:
Cancer (all types)
Glaucoma
MS (Multiple Sclerosis)
Lupus
Post-surgery recovery
Post-injury recovery (serious injuries)
Hospice care
Any life-threatening or severely debilitating condition
Dosing:
600-1000mg total per day
Split into 4-6 doses throughout the day for consistent levels
This is the therapeutic dose for serious conditions
My Personal Dose: I take around 600mg to 1,000mg per day for glaucoma maintenance. Sometimes more, depending on various factors. And I've been doing this successfully for over a decade.
Conditions This Helps:
✅ Cancer (all types)
✅ Glaucoma
✅ MS
✅ Lupus
✅ Parkinson's
✅ Alzheimer's/Dementia
✅ Severe chronic pain
✅ Post-surgery (major surgeries)
✅ Post-injury (serious injuries)
✅ Hospice care (when morphine stops working)
Special Note on Hospice Care:
People in hospice are typically in their final days, and often morphine stops working for pain relief. RSO keeps working when morphine stops. This allows patients to be comfortable and present with loved ones in their final time.
Dosing Tips:
🔹 Start low and go slow – Especially with high THC RSO
🔹 Smaller doses throughout the day work better than one or two large doses
🔹 Consistency is key – Take it every day, even when you start feeling better
🔹 Be patient – Some people see results in days, others in weeks
🔹 Track your progress – Keep notes on how you feel
🔹 Adjust as needed – Work with a practitioner to fine-tune your protocol
High CBD vs High THC Dosing:
With high CBD RSO, you can take as much as you need without getting high. This makes hitting higher therapeutic doses (600-1000mg) much easier during the day.
With high THC RSO, you'll get very high at these doses, so many people:
Take high CBD FECO during the day
Take high THC FECO at night
Or split the dose (e.g., 500mg CBD FECO + 500mg THC FECO)
This gives you complete 24/7 coverage, while allowing you to work and take care of personal affairs during the day without being high.
💊 How to Take RSO: Administration Methods
RSO can be administered in several ways. Here's what works best:
1. Oral Consumption (Most Popular & Effective) ✅
Methods:
Capsules – Pre-measured, exact dose, grab-and-go convenience
Tinctures – Adjustable dosing with dropper, faster absorption
Raw Oil – Taken directly (though harder to measure accurately)
Why Oral is Best:
Consistent absorption
Easy to dose accurately
Familiar to people of all ages
Can be taken with food or on empty stomach
Long-lasting effects (4-8 hours)
Our Recommendation: We infuse our RSO into capsules and tinctures with a proprietary blend of MCT oils (medium-chain triglycerides) to increase absorption into your body.
Why We Don't Sell Raw RSO in Syringes:
There are three major problems with raw RSO in syringes:
❌ Problem 1: Impossible to know exact dosage – Every squeeze is a guess
❌ Problem 2: Poor absorption – RSO absorbs much better when infused with a carrier oil
❌ Problem 3: CBD-dominant RSO crystallizes over time in syringes, making it impossible to dispense
Capsules and tinctures solve all three problems.
2. Sublingual (Under the Tongue)
Method: Hold tincture under tongue for 60-90 seconds before swallowing
Benefits:
Faster absorption (15-30 minutes vs 45-90 minutes oral)
Bypasses digestive system
Good for people with digestive issues
3. Topical Application
Method: Apply directly to skin
Best For:
Skin cancer – Apply directly to affected area, cover with bandage, change every 24 hours
Localized pain – Joint pain, muscle soreness
Skin conditions – Eczema, psoriasis, rashes
Note: Your skin has cannabinoid receptors in the third dermal layer, which is why topicals work so quickly.
4. Suppository (Rectal Administration)
Method: RSO inserted rectally
Pros:
High absorption rate
Bypasses digestive system
Good for people who can't swallow
Cons:
Hit or miss (works for about 50% of people)
Less predictable than oral
Not our primary recommendation
5. Food/Edibles
Method: Mix RSO into food or make edibles
Best For:
Recreational use
Making medicine more palatable
Those who prefer eating it
Not Ideal For:
Overcoming serious conditions (too much RSO needed—you'd be eating it all day)
Precise dosing
Note: This method is more for relaxation and general wellness, not for therapeutic cancer protocols.
Our Preferred Methods:
For Daily Therapeutic Use:
Capsules (exact measured dose, convenient)
Tinctures (adjustable dosing, faster absorption)
For Skin Cancer:
Topical application directly on affected area
⚠️ The Problem with Finding Quality RSO
Here's the harsh truth: RSO is the most popular and sought-after cannabis oil, but it's also the most difficult to obtain consistently.
The Two Biggest Problems:
Problem #1: Availability
Finding a source that actually has RSO in stock when you need it
Most small-batch producers run out within weeks
Dispensaries rarely carry true therapeutic-grade RSO
Online sources are unreliable and inconsistent
Problem #2: Quality Consistency
Getting the same quality product every time
Knowing the extraction was done properly
Trusting that beneficial compounds weren't destroyed
Ensuring no corners were cut in production
Why This is So Stressful:
When you find something that works—that actually helps your condition—you want to get that same product again to get the same results.
But with RSO, that almost never happens.
The typical RSO journey:
Search dispensaries (they're out of stock or have inferior quality)
Search online late at night (sketchy sources, no verification)
Meet people in parking lots and street corners (hoping they have it, hoping it's good)
Finally find something that works
Go back to the same source—they're out, or the quality changed
Start the search all over again
This creates immense stress, anxiety, and depression because you know there's something out there that can help you, but you just can't get it consistently.
Why Quality Varies So Dramatically:
Most RSO makers don't understand that everything matters—from soil to oil:
❌ Seed genetics – Wrong strain or over-hybridized plants
❌ Growing conditions – Pesticides, herbicides, poor soil
❌ Harvest timing – Too early or too late affects cannabinoid profile
❌ Drying process – Using heaters destroys terpenes
❌ Curing – Skipped entirely by most commercial growers
❌ Extraction temperature – Too high burns beneficial compounds
❌ Solvent quality – Using cheap, toxic solvents
❌ Batch size – Large batches sacrifice quality for quantity
❌ Testing – No one testing the final product on themselves
The "Lost Soul" Problem:
Even good extractors lose their soul when they scale up. I experienced this firsthand.
My story: I was getting RSO from a reputable crew in Carlsbad, California. It was working great for my glaucoma. Then one day, I went completely blind in my right eye.
What happened? They made a bad batch. Instead of throwing it away and losing money, they decided to sell it and "do better next time."
The scary part: The oil still got me high, so I thought it was working. But the nutritional components had been burned out due to higher temperatures and cutting corners.
I went blind because they cut corners.
This happens constantly in the industry—even with "reputable" sources.
Why MOVIDA Exists:
I started MOVIDA for one reason: So I would never go blind again.
I needed:
✅ Consistent quality I could depend on
✅ Available when I need it (every single day)
✅ Complete oversight from soil to oil
✅ Testing on myself (Patient Zero) to ensure it works
If it doesn't work for me, I go blind. So I know immediately if something is wrong.
This is why our clients trust us—because my eyesight literally depends on the quality of every single batch.
✅ What to Look for in Quality RSO
If you're evaluating RSO sources, here's what to look for:
1. Extraction Solvent
✅ Look for: 100% Organic, 200 Proof, Food Grade Ethanol
❌ Avoid: Naphtha, isopropyl alcohol, butane, cheap ethanol, CO2 (inferior for serious conditions)
2. Plant Source
✅ Look for:
Organic or biodynamic growing practices
No pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides
Indica or indica-dominant strains (for THC version)
Specific cannabinoid profile (for CBD version)
Whole plant extraction (mostly flower, minimal stalk)
❌ Avoid:
Unknown growing practices
Sativa strains for serious conditions (doesn't work for some conditions like dementia)
Over-hybridized strains
Trim or shake (should be premium flower)
3. Extraction Process
✅ Look for:
Sub-zero extraction (-30 to -40°C)
Small batch production
Temperature-controlled throughout
Proper curing process
Lab testing
❌ Avoid:
High-temperature extraction (destroys terpenes and beneficial compounds)
Large commercial batches

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is RSO?
RSO (Rick Simpson Oil) is a highly concentrated full extract cannabis oil made by washing cannabis buds with a solvent (ideally food-grade ethanol) and evaporating the solvent to leave behind a thick, tar-like oil containing 65-75% cannabinoids plus terpenes, flavonoids, and other beneficial plant compounds.
What is FECO?
FECO stands for Full Extract Cannabis Oil. It's essentially the same as RSO, though FECO typically refers to extracts made exclusively with food-grade alcohol (ethanol). The terms are often used interchangeably.
However, CO2 and Butane extracted oils can technically be considered a FECO Oil if the first (initial) extraction is used... but these CO2 and Butane extracted oils are inferior in quality to Ethanol extracted oils.
What's the difference between RSO and FECO?
All RSO is FECO (full extract cannabis oil), but not all FECO is RSO. RSO specifically refers to Rick Simpson's extraction method using alcohol, while FECO is a broader term that can use ethanol, alcohol, butane, or any other desired solvent.
Note: Both FECO and RSO should be ethanol-extracted for maximum therapeutic benefit, which is how we do it.
Will RSO get me high?
High THC RSO: Yes, it will get you very high at first—even experienced cannabis users find it intense. But you will get used to it and the high won't be as intense after using it daily for a period of time.
High CBD RSO: No, it does not get you high. Our proprietary high CBD formula contains less than 0.3% THC and provides therapeutic benefits without psychoactive effects.
Is RSO legal?
High THC RSO: Legal only in states with medical or recreational cannabis programs. Requires medical card in most states.
High CBD RSO: Legal nationwide (federally compliant with <0.3% THC). No prescription needed. Can be shipped across state lines and traveled with.
How much RSO should I take?
Dosing depends on your condition:
50-100mg/day: Maintenance, mild conditions, general wellness
200-400mg/day: Moderate chronic conditions
600-1000mg/day: Serious conditions like cancer, glaucoma, MS, lupus
Always start low and increase gradually. Work with a knowledgeable practitioner for best results.
How do I take RSO?
The most effective methods are:
Capsules (exact measured dose)
Tinctures (adjustable dosing)
Topical (for skin cancer or localized pain)
Suppositories (for those that don't want to get high)
How long does it take to work?
This varies by person and condition:
Immediate effects: Some people notice pain relief or reduced anxiety within 15-45 minutes
Gradual improvements: Most conditions improve over days to weeks
Serious conditions: May take 1-3 months of consistent use to see major improvements
Key: Be patient, persistent, and consistent.
Can I take RSO if I don't want to get high?
Absolutely! Our high CBD RSO provides all the therapeutic benefits without any psychoactive effects. You can take it throughout the day and remain completely functional.
What conditions does RSO help?
RSO has been shown to help with:
Cancer (all types)
Chronic pain
Glaucoma
MS, Lupus, Parkinson's
Anxiety, depression, PTSD
Migraines and headaches
Arthritis and inflammation
Neuropathy
Sleep disorders
Epilepsy and seizures
And many more
Is RSO safe?
When made properly with food-grade ethanol and organic cannabis, RSO is very safe. Our extraction process ensures no toxic residues remain. However, always consult with a healthcare provider, especially if you're on other medications.
Can I take RSO with other medications?
Many people do, but you should consult with your healthcare provider. RSO can interact with some medications, particularly blood thinners and medications metabolized by the liver.
Will RSO cure my cancer?
We cannot make cure claims. However, clinical research shows over 75% success rate across 10,000+ studies for cannabis and cancer. Many of our clients have experienced remarkable results, including some achieving "no detectable cancer" status. RSO should be part of a comprehensive approach to health.
How is your RSO different from dispensary RSO?
Our RSO is:
✅ Ethanol extracted (most dispensaries use butane or CO2)
✅ Small batch, artisan crafted
✅ Soil-to-oil oversight
✅ Tested on Patient Zero (me) for effectiveness
✅ Consistent quality every batch
✅ Always in stock
✅ Infused with carrier oil for better absorption
✅ Comes with dosing protocols and support
Why does RSO cost more than other cannabis oils?
Quality RSO costs more because:
Organic, food-grade ethanol costs 5-10x more than other solvents
Small batch production (not mass-produced)
Premium organic flower (not trim or shake)
Proper extraction takes time and expertise
Complete oversight from soil to oil
Testing and quality control
You get what you pay for—especially when your health is on the line.
How do I know if RSO is working?
Track these signs:
Reduced pain or discomfort
Better sleep quality
Improved appetite
Increased energy
Better mood and mental clarity
Reduction in symptoms specific to your condition
Lab results improving (for cancer, etc.)
Keep a journal to track progress.
Can I travel with RSO?
High CBD RSO: Yes! It's federally legal and can be traveled with by plane, train, or car.
High THC RSO: Only within your state if you have a medical card. Cannot cross state lines or fly with it.
How should I store RSO?
Store in a cool, dark place. Refrigeration is ideal but not required. Keep away from heat and direct sunlight. Properly stored RSO can last 1-2 years.
Can I give RSO to my pet?
Yes! Many people use RSO for their pets (dogs, cats) with great success for pain, anxiety, seizures, and cancer. Start with very small doses based on body weight. We have clients who use it for their pets regularly.
Do you ship RSO?
High CBD RSO: Yes, we ship nationwide.
High THC RSO: Within most states (state restrictions may apply).

🌟 Final Thoughts: The Forbidden Elixir of Hope
Rick Simpson Oil—also known as FECO or Full Extract Cannabis Oil—truly is a forbidden elixir of hope.

But the truth is getting out.

You don't have to suffer in silence.
You don't have to accept "there's nothing we can do."
You don't have to keep searching for unreliable sources.
Whether you're battling cancer, chronic pain, glaucoma, or any other serious condition—or you simply want to optimize your health and prevent disease—quality RSO can be a game-changer.
Your healing journey starts with one decision: to take action.
Schedule your free consultation today, and let's create a personalized protocol that works for you.
About Al Morentin (Patient Zero):
Al Morentin has been working in cannabis and holistic health since 1987. After being told he would go blind from glaucoma, Al spent 17 years searching for a solution. When he discovered RSO, it saved his sight—but only when the quality was right.
After going blind from bad RSO, Al founded MOVIDA to ensure he—and thousands of others—would never have to worry about quality or availability again. Every batch is tested on Al himself. If it doesn't work for his glaucoma, it doesn't get sold.
With nearly four decades of experience, Al has helped thousands of clients overcome serious health conditions using therapeutic-grade RSO and personalized protocols.
