CBD Raw Cannabis Oil Drops by British Cannabis, A Medical Grade RSO

Though less common on retail shelves, one of the most iconic cannabis products of modern history is RSO. This medicinal and potent extract can be made using both hemp and cannabis plants to produce a full-bodied experience unlike other purified extracts like isolates and distillates. British Cannabis and Canabidol have brought RSO back to the mainstream with their CBD Raw Cannabis Oil Drops.

In 2003, within the early days of cannabis legalization shifts, a medical patient in the US, Rick Simpson, developed a simple full-spectrum cannabis extract to treat his skin cancer topically. Later studies by the American Association for Cannabis Research further supported Simpson’s findings, showing that THC and CBD were beneficial when used in conjunction with radiation treatments, with promise of even stopping the progression of cancer cells. This extract was fittingly dubbed, Rick Simpson Oil, or RSO.

Beyond cancer, RSO has been used to aid with conditions like insomnia, arthritis, high blood pressure, and even depression symptoms. This spectacular and relatively simple to make concentrate has continued to be one of the most effective choices for medical cannabis patients around the world.

Product overview

CBD Raw Cannabis Oil Drops come in both a purified/natural oil and now their raw formula – more akin to RSO products. This less filtered extract may have some trace amounts of THC along with other phytocompounds to provide you with a deeply nourishing and restorative CBD experience.

While their regular oil drops are stripped of plant fats and waxes to improve taste, this extra bit of color and flavour in the raw formula come with hundreds of beneficial phyto-cannabinoids and terpenoids that work synergistically with the CBD to deliver additional relief to your mind and body.

Their team of pharmacists worked hard to develop a pharmaceutically pristine, safe, and accessible RSO formula using hemp derived CBD. Each 10ml bottle is packed with 500 mg of raw CBD oil, however they also have a number of dosing options for beginner, intermediate, and experienced CBD consumers.

CBD by British Cannabis also offers CBD Raw Cannabis Oil Drops in:

2000 mg bottle (raw or natural)
1000 mg bottle (raw or natural)
250 mg bottle (raw or natural)

My experience

I knew this product would likely have a stronger bitter flavour as well as heightened effects. Thus, I went for a single dose of half a dropper full to see what it felt like on my first try. The directions on the packaging suggest dosing half a dropper under the tongue twice a day.

For best results, you should keep the oil in your mouth for as long as possible (at least 1 minute). Doing this ensures better and faster absorption into the bloodstream, keeping the beneficial plant compounds intact and undisturbed by the digestive processes.

Effects came on around 30-45 minutes, and felt very warming and pleasant to my senses. I could feel a general reduction in stress and anxiety symptoms, while also feeling lighter on my feet and more physically energized throughout the rest of the day. I can imagine that repeating this dose twice daily would provide mood stability and relief from physical and mental stressors.

Additionally, I am curious if long term use would have a positive impact on chronic pain, appetite, and hormonal balance. I believe the phyto-cannabinoid rich oil would be incredibly effective in supporting nervous system function.

Pros and Cons

What I love about CBD Raw Cannabis Oil Drops

A pharmaceutically developed RSO formula sounds like a dream product. All of the benefits of this crude extract without the risks associated with less-purified/filtered concentrates.
The simplicity of this product is great – no additives, alternative carrier oils, etc. Just perfect hemp extract and cannabis-native terpenes.

Things to be aware of before dosing

This product, though within the legal limitations, may have traces of THC in the oil. This may not be suitable for anyone looking to avoid all THC consumption/exposure.
Though incredibly useful, this product is not a pharmaceutical and cannot be used in the treatment/curing of any illnesses. Always check in with a trusted medical professional before adding CBD to any other treatment routines.
