How to make RSO at home: (do at your own risk and with proper safety protocols!)
This recipe follows Simpson’s own formulation to produce 60 grams of oil. This should be done in an open, well-ventilated area, as the solvent is highly combustible. Avoid all open flames such as stovetops, sparks, lighters, and cigarettes.
Ingredients
1 pound (~450 grams) of dried cannabis (preferably indica strains)
8-9 liters of a solvent (Simpson recommends 99% isopropyl alcohol)
Equipment
Two five-gallon buckets
Electric rice cooker (do not use a slow cooker or Crockpot)
Large wooden spoon or stirring utensil
Funnel
Plastic syringes
Coffee filters or a cheesecloth
Large fan (for ventilation)
Stainless steel measuring cup (optional)
Coffee warmer (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Place all dry cannabis material into one of the 5-gallon buckets. Pour in the solvent until the plant matter is completely submerged.
Stir and muddle the plant material with your wooden spoon while slowly adding the solvent.
Step 2
Once fully incorporated, stir the mixture for about three minutes to allow the THC to dissolve into the solvent. This ideally will infuse about 80% of the THC into the solvent.
Step 3
Strain the plant material from the solvent into the second bucket through the coffee filters or cheesecloth.
Step 4
With the solvent aside, put the plant material back in the first bucket and add more solvent. Continue stirring for another three minutes.
Step 5
Drain the solvent from the plant material into your second bucket again using the cheesecloth and discard the remaining plant material.
Step 6
Pour the solvent, which should now look dark, into the rice cooker until it is about ¾ full. Turn on your rice cooker.
The rice cooker should maintain a steady temperature between 210-230°F (100-110°C), in order to decarboxylate the cannabis and cook off the solvent.
Step 7
The solvent will slowly evaporate with the heat of the rice cooker. Add your mixture to the rice cooker gradually.
Step 8
Once the solvent has evaporated, use the funnels to pack the oil into your syringe for easy dosing. The RSO will be thick like honey, so if you have trouble dispensing it, run the syringe under hot water to ease it.
