What are the best cannabis strains for making Rick Simpson Oil (RSO)?

Most probably, you all know about RSO and its mighty healing powers. Despite many patients’ reports about successful cancer treatments, more studies need to be conducted on cannabis strains to confirm it. Even so, there is significant evidence in using cannabinoids to treat chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, and many patients already receive this treatment in states where cannabis is fully legal. As of today (21st of May, 2021), there are a total of 17 states that has cannabis entirely legal: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, District of Columbia, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, South Dakota, Vermont, Washington. Read your local laws before proceeding to avoid breaking any.

RSO cannabis oil is different from other cannabis extracts, being super concentrated with a full spectrum of cannabinoids from the whole plant. According to the creator Rick Simpson, the best healing powers this oil has when produced from Indica dominant strains with high levels of THC, which gives a strong body hit and have been used to relieve chronic fatigue, chronic muscle aches, insomnia, and chronic pain.
