RSO in Kentucky: What Patients Need to Know

RSO, also known as Rick Simpson Oil, is a highly concentrated marijuana extract designed for strong, long-lasting relief. Patients in Kentucky will soon be able to access RSO through licensed medical dispensaries as they begin opening across the state. Understanding what RSO is, how it works, and how to use it safely can help patients feel more confident as they begin exploring treatment options.

 

What Is RSO?

RSO is a thick, dark marijuana oil made using the whole plant, which preserves a wide range of natural compounds. It is known for its strong potency and is typically high in THC. Many patients choose RSO when they need deep or extended relief that other products may not provide.

​

RSO can be used in very small amounts because of its strength. It is usually consumed orally, mixed with food, or placed under the tongue, depending on the specific product directions.

​

RSO will be available to Kentucky patients who hold a valid medical marijuana card. With the state’s first dispensary opening and more preparing to follow, now is the time to learn about this option, understand how it might support your symptoms, and complete your certification so you are ready as products become available.

​

How RSO Works

RSO works by delivering a concentrated dose of THC and other cannabinoids. These compounds interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which helps regulate pain, inflammation, appetite, sleep, and mood.

 

Many patients report benefits such as:

• Relief from severe or chronic pain

• Improved sleep

• Reduced inflammation

• Support for nausea or appetite issues

• Help with long-lasting symptoms that require steady relief

 

Since RSO is stronger than most other marijuana products, patients should always begin with very small doses and increase only as needed.

 

How to Use RSO Safely

RSO is powerful, which means correct dosing is important. Most products recommend starting with an amount similar to a grain of rice. Over time, patients may adjust the dose based on how their body responds.

 

Key points to remember:

• Start low and go slow

• Store RSO in a safe place, out of reach of others

• Follow the product’s instructions and your medical provider’s guidance

 

Each patient will respond differently to RSO, so finding the right dose may take time. Your medical provider can help you understand how to introduce RSO into your treatment plan safely.

 

How to Get RSO in Kentucky

As Kentucky dispensaries begin opening, patients can expect to find RSO products made by licensed cultivators and processors that follow strict state rules. Product labels will include potency, ingredients, and dosing information to help ensure safety and consistency.
