Introduction

Full-spectrum or full extract RSO oil simply means it is made from a whole plant extract and contains all the cannabinoids from the plant.

Full-spectrum medical cannabis oil, also known as Full Extract Cannabis Oil (FECO or RSO/Rick Simpson Oil), is the most potent medicinal cannabis oil product available and is used to treat a wide-ranging and growing list of ailments.

Full-spectrum cannabis contains the full range of over 110 cannabinoids, healthy fatty acids, and beneficial terpenes, as opposed to extracts containing just CBD, or in the case of Sativex only extracted THC and CBD. Like cannabinoids, terpenes bind to receptors in the brain and have various medicinal effects.

Top 10 Tips for when you buy RSO / FECO / THC Oil Online

  1. Know your source

Personal recommendation is priceless. Do you know someone who has successfully bought RSO oil online? Do not be afraid to ask us questions and research before making a very important purchase decision.

2. Purchase within your geographical region if possible

If you are based in Europe, it makes sense to find a European supplier, similarly if you reside in North America. New Zealand or Australia you must consider the issues regarding border controls. Customs officers will seize any medical-grade cannabis oil found, regardless of whether you are a registered medical cannabis user or not.

3. Avoid social media

Instagram and Facebook have numerous individuals offering all sorts of “cannabis oil” for sale. These are free sites; they require no identification to set up. Any individuals operating in this manner can disappear as quickly as they appear. We have been inundated by people who have been scammed on social media and Facebook won’t even shut these pages down when confronted with the evidence.

4. Ask for a Skype or phone call

Be aware that unscrupulous suppliers will use the obvious need for the anonymity required by genuine oil producers to effectively cover their tracks. A Skype call or phone call can be done anonymously but allows you to question the oil producer and gauge your reaction to their answers. Many scammers from African countries will pretend to be European females, a phone call will verify this.

5. Ask to see the full test results for that particular batch of RSO/FECO oil

If you choose to contact someone claiming to have access to, or who claims to have processed the oil, they should be able to provide a full HPLC test result for you to view. Testing is expensive and only reputable suppliers will have the testing done

6. Discuss money only when you are satisfied the individual is genuine

As a rough guide expect to pay around £45.00 sterling for 1 gram of medical-grade, full-spectrum cannabis oil with a valid HPLC test certificate when you buy cannabis oil online.

7. Ask for a sample of the RSO/FECO oil before you buy it

Many producers do not like to send out samples as it is open to abuse with recreational users assuming multiple identities to collect as much free oil as possible. Rick Simpson FECO cannabis oil is expensive to produce, if a sample is not an option then you should make a smaller initial purchase. Many people are looking to purchase 50g upwards, but we suggest starting with a smaller purchase to build trust and then progressing to larger orders if needed.

8. Be very wary of sending a large amount of money in advance

Reputable RSO/FECO cannabis oil producers won’t pressure you to send large amounts of money upfront. Some working via cash by post will ask for large payments upfront and these individuals should be avoided whenever possible. If you have had dealings with them before or they have been recommended by someone you trust, then you could proceed with caution.

Sadly, reputable suppliers have often fallen victim to non-payment of goods sent, and therefore will ask for payment up-front. Reputable suppliers will offer smaller initial purchases rather than thousands of pounds. Bear in mind that full spectrum cannabis oil is an expensive product to produce meaning that even a smaller initial purchase of 10g can still cost up to £500. Discuss this with your supplier and try to find a situation you’re comfortable with.

Once trust is established you need to judge the situation yourself, but we recommend keeping purchases below £1000 even if trust is established.  If you choose not to buy RSO/FECO cannabis oil online and are meeting your cannabis oil supplier to collect in person, only hand over-payment once you have inspected the oil and seen evidence of the test result.

9. Never send cash by mail or use services such as Western Union

This is an immediate red flag, particularly if the address is in Africa or other countries with a dubious reputation for online frauds.

10. Online RSO oil sellers may ask for Bitcoin transactions as they are anonymous

If you have not used Bitcoin to buy cannabis oil online before you can find guides online that explain how it’s done. The process is easy and secure. At first, using bitcoin can seem complicated but it is fast emerging as the go-to method of paying for medical cannabis.  The most used platform is Coinbase. Reputable oil sellers using cryptocurrency for payment will offer detailed guidance. There are also several useful guides available online, for example, https://www.coinbase.com/learn/tips-and-tutorials

Why Is Requesting A Test Important When You Buy RSO Online?

This can be difficult, but reputable RSO/FECO oil producers spend a great deal of time and money having their RSO oil products laboratory tested and should be able to produce a valid HPLC test result for you.

This will give you the cannabinoid balance and percentages. However, these test results can be photoshopped to show any result by unscrupulous dealers.

The whole process of procuring RSO full spectrum cannabis oil at your desired cannabinoid ratio is a veritable minefield consisting of outright scammers who wish to relieve you of your money knowing you can’t contact any agencies to attempt to claim a refund, through to well-intentioned individuals who think they are producing a medical-grade cannabis oil but fail miserably due to lack of ability or expertise.

Be Cautious When You Buy Your RSO Oil Online

There is reputable RSO oil makers and it is possible to buy cannabis oil online through them but the whole issue depends on trust and care must be taken when sourcing your cannabis oil. Try to build a working relationship with your RSO supplier that is based on mutual trust and understanding. Ask questions, no matter how trivial you may think they are; you must be entirely satisfied with the individual who is supplying you. Just be aware that the RSO oil you are purchasing is currently illegal in most countries and you need to protect yourself and your source.

If you need help to source RSO oil safely we can assist with trusted sources of laboratory-tested oils and tinctures. If you have a supplier, then we are here to advise before you buy and/or address any further concerns you may have tried to source your medication.

RSO oil is an inherently safe medicine, far safer than aspirin for example, and can be used over long periods of time without serious side effects. It is important to understand that once you have completed for example a 90-day Rick Simpson cannabis oil course which many people choose to follow – you will still require what is known as a maintenance dose of the cannabis oil, basically a lesser amount taken to keep your condition from returning. Patients treating cancers need a more balanced cannabinoid profile, generally 1:1 THC/CBD (FECO RSO information and dosage protocol).

More balanced THC/CBD profiles can only be achieved by making the cannabis oil from specific strains bred to contain certain concentrations of differing cannabinoids.

RSO medical cannabis oil is not cheap to purchase, due in part to the initial cost of the raw materials and the cost of processing the cannabis into concentrated cannabis oil. As a rough guide, 8 grams of cannabis buds will only yield around 1 gram of FECO cannabis oil concentrate.

FURTHER DETAILED ADVICE AND INFORMATION ON FULL-SPECTRUM CANNABIS OIL (RSO) FOR MEDICAL CANNABIS USERS

WE HAVE EXPANDED UPON THE TOPICS ABOVE TO GIVE MORE DETAILED INFORMATION THAT MAY BE USEFUL TO CANNABIS PATIENTS LOOKING TO SOURCE FULL SPECTRUM RSO/FECO OIL.

To effectively treat more serious conditions all the evidence points to using Rich Simpson oil made from the rich pharmacopeia contained within the full spectrum of cannabinoids.

Rick Simpson oil is illegal in most countries, but the laws are beginning to change as Governments see reason. In the UK it is now possible for a specialist to prescribe a medical-grade CBD cannabis oil (NOT FECO) in some instances imported from Canada at great expense.

However, campaigners worry that the restrictions in place are too stringent, and many patients will be unable to obtain a prescription. If they do it will not be an RSO full spectrum cannabis oil (FECO), rather a substitute pharmaceutical product, either the cannabis plant or chemical based and not containing the full range of cannabinoids, just extracts.

In relation to cancer patients, they won’t be prescribed high enough dosages anywhere near that which is required and there is no evidence that CBD isolate will cure cancer. All the evidence points towards a full spectrum cannabis oil (RSO/FECO) with at least equal amounts of THC/CBD depending on the condition; so currently it doesn’t provide a solution unless you are a child with a seizure disorder or chemotherapy survivor suffering the side effects.

Unfortunately, it is still the case that unless patients are competent at growing and making their own full-spectrum cannabis oil (RSO/FECO) they are forced to try and source their medicine through illegal channels. Many choose to buy CBD cannabis oil online or try to source Rick Simpson FECO full spectrum THC/CBD and we strongly advise caution. We can help should you be researching this possibility.

For UK (and EU patients in particular) this advice is, unfortunately, necessary as it can be difficult to avoid being scammed and exploited. Things have progressed for our North American friends, and they can now register as medical marijuana patients and purchase Rick Simpson/FECO full spectrum cannabis oils and medications. Canada is now fully legal for both medical and recreational cannabis.

In the UK it is now possible to be prescribed CBD cannabis medications, but despite the press hype it is far from easy, and the governing legislation is very clear as to who can be prescribed the medicine (see below). In its current form, it is of little benefit to patients who desperately need cannabis oil medications. Most UK prescriptions will be for pharmaceutical substitutes such as Nabilone, or cannabis-derived extractions like Sativex that have all been shown to be inferior to full-spectrum cannabis oils in medical trials.

TO FIGHT SERIOUS ILLNESSES ALL THE EVIDENCE POINTS TO USING FULL-SPECTRUM (WHOLE-PLANT EXTRACT) ALSO KNOWN AS FULL EXTRACT CANNABIS OIL (FECO) OR RICK SIMPSON CANNABIS OIL (RSO) THAT CONTAINS THC/CBD AND OVER ONE HUNDRED AND TEN OTHER CANNABINOIDS, TERPENES, HEALTHY FATTY ACIDS, AND FLAVONOIDS.

Buy Cannabis Online, RSO Online, FECO

Since it became legal to sell CBD cannabinoids a huge number of dubious websites have sprung up selling CBD preparations. In this example from the USA for $60.00, you can buy this CBD cannabis oil online (see pic). They dishonestly claim it to be an example of their CBD product.

The image is copied from our website and is of full-spectrum (RSO/FECO) 1:1 THC/CBD cannabis oil and tincture made by Mel Thomas for a cancer patient – it also features in his book European Cannabis Cultivation. These individuals are just shamelessly and ruthlessly scamming desperate patients.

Firstly, it is illegal to claim that CBD preparations have medical uses. Secondly, It is illegal to claim CBD cures cancer. Thirdly there is no evidence that CBD isolates on their own will cure anything and FECO Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) contains at the very LEAST equal amounts of THC and CBD. The main acknowledged benefits of CBD isolate are that it is shown to give relief to spasticity in MS sufferers, stop kids fitting with severe epilepsy (and related disorders), and alleviate sickness for chemotherapy survivors. There is evidence that it can help with psychological conditions such as PTSD and aids sleep. Topically it has been shown to alleviate some skin conditions such as acne and sores.

Can I get Full Spectrum RSO Oil On Prescription?

The UK now allows cannabis medicines to be prescribed, however, it is very difficult to obtain a prescription.

You cannot get cannabis-based medicine from your GP – it can only be prescribed by a specialist hospital doctor. And it is only likely to be prescribed for a small number of patients. A hospital specialist might consider prescribing medical cannabis if:

Your child has one of the rare forms of epilepsy that might be helped by medical cannabis.

You have spasticity from MS and treatments for this aren’t helping.

You have vomiting or feel sick from chemotherapy and anti-sickness treatments aren’t helping.

The specialist will discuss with you all the other treatment options first, before considering a cannabis-based product. A prescription for medical cannabis would only be given when it was believed to be in your best interests, and when other treatments hadn’t worked or weren’t suitable.

We regularly hear from patients who have been scammed and exploited. It’s not their fault, they are usually ill, desperate, and easy targets.
