We have cannabis farmers markets. If you know someone, you can get the oil for about $15 per gram. RSO normally costs $20-$30 per gram. It costs even more in so called 'dispensaries,' most of which care more about profit than anything else.

The oil used for cancer is called RSO or Rick Simpson Oil. The 'honey oil' that people smoke recreationally contains residual butane and is not good for cancer patients.

RSO is made with alcohol or naptha. We use 190 proof everclear for ours. It is cheapest to grow your own and produce your own oil.

Do you know someone who needs it?
