This is a tribute to Rick Simpson, without whom cannabis oil for healing would probably not be used successfully by so many today. He tells everyone he didn’t invent cannabis oil, he “rediscovered” it.

But his attempts to legalize it in Canada and promote his rediscovery to the world has brought attention to many now using cannabis oil for safe, effective, and rapid healing of cancer and other diseases that are impossible from mainstream medicine.

Rick used high grade naphtha as the solvent to extract the oils, but most current oil providers use ethyl alcohol, commonly called grain alcohol, which is also used for most herbal tinctures. Naptha is highly flammable and may leave toxic residues, ditto for isopropyl alcohol. Both are still used by a few cannabis oil makers, but there are toxicity issues.

Some years ago, Rick Simpson had discovered this cure for himself and then had shared it at no cost with others in the small rural town of Maccan, Nova Scotia. He maintains that someone who tries cannabis oil should not be involved with mainstream medical treatments that interfere with cannabis’s efficacy.

Canada provides a tax based single-payer medical system. So paying for mainstream treatments was not the issue. Since the medical monopoly’s treatments rarely work with nasty side effects, efficacy without side effects was the only issue.

Rick’s oil offered results without side effects, and the Maccan residents took advantage. The results were amazing with even cancer patients. There are always problems promoting alternative cures. But here was an additional obstacle. The cure was cannabis oil with the illegal hemp substance THC.

RICK’S REASONS FOR CREATING CANNABIS OIL

cannabis oilRick Simpson experienced a head injury at work in 1997. Afterward he was afflicted with a severe post concussion syndrome that he described as having the sound of a loud motorized lawnmower in his head. He was put on pharmaceuticals, which created dysfunctional side effects. Then he heard about the medical benefits of marijuana. So Rick purchased a bag and began smoking daily.

Eventually, both the post concussion syndrome and the pharmaceutical drug fog vanished completely. Rick’s doctor discouraged him from smoking. So Rick decided on growing his own cannabis and extracting the oil from whole plants. He reduced a pound of whole THC marijuana plants by slow boiling in his naphtha solution to get a small tube of thick cannabis oil.

Soon after he began, Rick was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma. After one of the three cancers was removed surgically, it came back. So he decided to try the cannabis oil topically. Within days, all three skin cancers were completely healed. Rick deduced that marijuana would not.

RICK STARTED HELPING OTHERS WITH HIS CANNABIS OR RICK SIMPSON OIL (RSO)

So Rick began sharing the oil within his community without charging. Almost everyone experienced remarkable improvement by using a drop twice a day. Rick Dwyer, the manager of the local Royal American Legion branch was very impressed. His father’s terminal lung cancer was cured in weeks after the medicos had sent him home to die.

Quickly the word was out locally about Simpson’s cannabis oil. Several others were cured or greatly benefited without side effects from a variety of serious ailments, including cancer, heart disease, and MS...
