Why Ethanol/Ethyl Alcohol Is the Best Way to Produce Rick Simpson Oil

Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) has gained popularity due to its potential health benefits, especially for those seeking alternative treatments for various medical conditions. The method of extraction plays a crucial role in the quality and efficacy of the oil. Ethanol, particularly food-grade ethanol, stands out as the best solvent for producing RSO for several reasons.

A Healthier Alternative for Producing Rick Simpson Oil

When it comes to producing medical cannabis oils, the choice of extraction solvent is critical. Full Extraction Cannabis Oil (FECO), also known as Rick Simpson Oil (RSO), is believed to help improve the health and lives of many individuals. At Extractohol, we are committed to promoting the benefits of whole-plant ethanol extraction and helping people create the highest quality oils and concentrates.

RSO, named after Rick Simpson, who reportedly cured his cancer by creating and consuming the oil, has been touted for its potential in treating various health issues. These include different types of cancer, chronic pain, arthritis, depression, PTSD, and many other health problems. The oil is characterized by high levels of CBD and THC, along with other essential chemical components.

Why Avoid Toxic Solvents

Rick Simpson advocates for using toxic solvents such as Naphtha and denatured alcohols like isopropyl alcohol. While these solvents may have industrial uses, they should not be used in the production of tinctures, oils, and concentrates. Toxic solvents can leave harmful residues that pose health risks to consumers.

High Proof Food Grade Alcohol, such as our Natural Food Grade Sugar Cane Alcohol (Ethanol) and 200 Proof Food Grade Alcohol (Ethanol), is the safest and most effective choice for cannabis oil extraction. Everclear has been a popular choice due to its high proof, but it is not available in all areas. Extractohol products are perfect for this purpose and can be easily obtained from our website.

Benefits of Using Natural/Food Grade Ethyl Alcohol for Extraction

Using natural, food-grade ethyl alcohol in the extraction process is essential for preserving the quality, purity, potency, and overall medicinal value of your oil. Here are some key benefits:

Safe & Efficient

Popular extraction methods like butane (BHO) and CO2 have their benefits and drawbacks. Butane is highly combustible and poses a risk of fire or explosion without proper safety measures. CO2 is clean but requires expensive equipment. Both methods often use ethyl alcohol (ethanol) in the final stages of the process. Using ethanol from the start can produce a clean, high-quality product while maintaining a safe environment.

Clean Extraction

Extraction methods using other popular solvents can leave residues in the oil, which are then passed on to the end user, increasing the risk of illness or irritation. This risk can be avoided by using Extractohol Natural Food Grade Sugar Cane Alcohol. Our food-grade ethanol is a high-proof alcohol that evaporates completely, ensuring no harmful chemical residues are left behind.

Potent and Effective

A cannabis extraction process using high-proof food-grade ethyl alcohol produces a safe, potent, and effective oil. All you need is the right strain of cannabis flower. Natural Food Grade Ethyl Alcohol like Extractohol-O is clean and highly efficient. After evaporation, only the essential oils and active chemical compounds of the cannabis plant remain, providing a powerful medicinal product.

Producing High-Quality Rick Simpson Oil with Extractohol

Using Extractohol for your cannabis oil extraction will help you produce the highest quality oil for yourself and your customers. Extractohol offers both Natural Food Grade 190 Proof Sugar Cane Alcohol and Food Grade 200 Proof Ethyl Alcohol to ensure maximum extraction efficiency without leaving any residue.

The Extraction Process

1. Preparation: Start with high-quality cannabis flowers. Ensure they are properly dried and cured.

2. Soaking: Place the cannabis in a glass or stainless-steel container and cover it with Extractohol. Allow the mixture to soak for several minutes to hours, depending on your desired potency.

3. Straining: After soaking, strain the mixture through a cheesecloth or fine mesh to separate the plant material from the alcohol.

4. Evaporation: Pour the strained liquid into a shallow dish and allow the alcohol to evaporate. This can be done at room temperature or with the help of gentle heat (such as a warm water bath). Ensure good ventilation to safely dissipate the alcohol vapors.

5. Collection: Once the alcohol has completely evaporated, collect the remaining oil using a spatula or scraper.

6. Storage: Store the oil in a dark, airtight container, away from heat and light, to preserve its potency and effectiveness.

Ensuring Quality and Safety

The quality of the final product depends on several factors, including the quality of the starting material, the extraction method, and the solvent used. By using Extractohol, you are ensuring that your extraction process is safe, efficient, and produces a clean, high-quality oil.

1. Purity: Extractohol’s food-grade ethanol ensures that no harmful residues are left in your oil.

2. Potency: High-proof ethanol efficiently extracts the essential oils and active compounds, resulting in a potent product.

3. Safety: Using food-grade ethanol minimizes the risk of fire, explosion, and chemical contamination compared to other solvents.

4. Environmental Impact: Extractohol’s Natural Food Grade Sugar Cane Alcohol is produced using environmentally friendly methods, making it a sustainable choice for your extractions.

The Advantages of Whole-Plant Ethanol Extraction

Whole-plant ethanol extraction preserves the full spectrum of cannabinoids, terpenes, and other beneficial compounds found in the cannabis plant. This holistic approach is believed to enhance the therapeutic effects of the oil, thanks to the “entourage effect” – the synergistic interaction of all the plant’s components.

Benefits of Whole-Plant Extraction

1. Full Spectrum: Ethanol extraction captures the full range of cannabinoids and terpenes, providing a more comprehensive therapeutic profile.

2. Enhanced Efficacy: The entourage effect enhances the overall effectiveness of the oil, making it more beneficial for a wider range of conditions.

3. Preservation of Terpenes: Ethanol preserves the delicate terpenes that contribute to the aroma, flavor, and therapeutic properties of the oil.

4. Versatility: Whole-plant extracts can be used in a variety of applications, from tinctures and edibles to topicals and concentrates.
