>>14149109RSO is a simple broad spectrum extract of dried plant material, most of what the solvent collects from the plant are molecules that occur in many other plants, such as chlorophyl and related sugars oxalates, water (air dried plant matter is usually still about 7% water weight), a common organic hydrocarbons like terpenes.
the cannabinoids are the unique molecule which occur on cannabis plants in quantity and are absent form all other plants. furthermore, cannabinoids interact with endocannabinoid receptors in the body and those receptors are part of the immune system.
I'd like to see RSO tested against higher purity extracts, in part because the oxalates in RSO cause medical difficulties for some people. oxalates are linked to kidney stone formation.
how to make RSO:
get a bunch of weed,
get a bottle of everclear 190,
weight the weed and put it in a jar,
pour in 10ml of everclear for every gram of weed in the jar,
let sit overnight,
strain,
pour the liquid into a glass pie plate and put it in front of a fan until all of the liquid has evaporated,
collect ur hash errrl
if you do the same process under freezing conditions, with cold solvent and material and do a short wash of a few minutes instead of a long soak then you still pic up all the same amount of cannabinoids from the material, but because the water remains fozen, you leave behind the oxalates and chlorophyl and other junk. cannabinoids aren't water soluble so freezing dozen affect them the same way it does sugars like chlorophyl. this method is called QWET (quick wash ethanol) amongst the heads.
