Vape Products – RSO Formulations

There are several marijuana-based products designed to be “vaped,” or inhaled. They are provided in cartridges to be inhaled with the use of a vape pen. The advantages of inhaling a vape product versus sublingual or oral use of a tincture is the near immediate entry of the vape’s product into the blood stream with rapid therapeutic effects. With vaping, unlike smoking cannabis bud, very little of the product (~5%) dissipates or is exhaled so the use of a vape product does not expose others to significant second hand aerosol.

 

Safety of Vape Products

The products offered by the Louisiana sanctioned marijuana dispensary pharmacies appear to be safe. However, there have been incidents of severe respiratory illness associated with use of vaping products. For more information from the FDA about what is known about these incidents follow this link: Lung Injuries Associated with Use of Vaping Products or download. These incidents of concern do not appear to include the practice of vaping dry plant marijuana with vape devices, a practice that offers fewer health concerns compared with smoking dry plant marijuana (See: Inhalation: Smoking vs Vaping).

Vape Products for Inhalation

There are several marijuana-based products designed to be “vaped,” or inhaled. They are provided in cartridges to be inhaled with the use of a vape pen. The advantages of using a vape product versus use of an oral tincture is the vape’s product near immediate entry into the blood stream and rapid therapeutic effects. With vaping, unlike smoking cannabis bud, very little of the product (~5%) dissipates or is exhaled so the use of a vape product does not expose others to significant second hand aerosol. Once again the providers of these products do not describe their specific constituents or their concentrations. In order to at least predict the likely constituents in an effort to gain insight as to the products potential benefits and side effects, data obtained from popular web sites dedicated to informing the public about the different marijuana strains and their reported effects is presented here. These websites include:

  1. www.leafly.com
  2. www.IndustrialHempFarms.com

 

As of this writing there is little definitive evidence of specific benefits for these products and one must rely on anecdotal reports. These products consist of extracts from specific marijuana strains that are expected to have native cannabinoids and terpenes specific to those known to be associated with their specific strains. Some of these products also include the addition of proprietary terpene blends.

RSO products currently available in LA:

  1. Jenny Kush RSO (710 mg THC)
  2. Grease Monkey RSO (710 mg THC)
  3. Bruce Banner RSO (710 mg THC & 20 mg CBD)

Wellcana (Good Day Farm):

RSO Products (710 mg THC)

RSO, also known as Rick Simpson Oil, is a concentrated cannabis oil with high therapeutic potential  because it is a full-spectrum, high-THC, whole-plant extract that retains all components of the cannabis plant, including cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids as well as the fats, chlorophyll and lipids.  It is estimated that it requires processing one oz. of flower to make roughly 3.5 gm of oil. RSO differs from other cannabis oils in that it has a higher content of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and has a thick, syrupy consistency.RSO is usually made from heavy indica strains that are known for producing analgesic, anxiolytic, and sedating whole-body effects and therefore may be very sedating. Additionally, because RSO products typically lack significant amounts of CBD they also lack the benefits of CBD’s contribution to the therapeutic benefits of marijuana which are substantial (See: CBD).  Although not clearly identified by the manufacturer, it is assumed the composition of the RSO products are similar to that of the Wellcana THC tinctures without a carrier oil. 

 

Due to its extremely high THC concentration, RSO is typically recommended for those with conditions that require a high dose of THC and for those who have a high tolerance to THC. The RSO distillate products typically contain 710mg of THC in a 1cc syringe, with a single syringe containing about 20-30 doses of about 25-35 mg of THC.

 

Because of its high potency, it’s important to be very careful when dosing an RSO product. It is not recommended for people inexperienced with marijuana products. One should start with no more than an oil droplet about the size of one grain of rice. As one’s tolerance goes up and the effects begin to seem less potent, the dose can be increased slowly by no more than another amount the size of a grain of rice. Going slowly reduces the likelihood of experiencing any of THC’s unwanted side effects.


Versatility

RSO is an activated formulation that requires no heat to be applied to it in order for it to work. As such it can be used in several different ways and for several different purposes, making it more versatile than most cannabis products and allowing it to potentially treat more than one symptom or condition. Because RSO is a sticky, gooey black oil that is almost tar-like in consistency, it can be applied topically, introduced sublingually and ingested orally.  It is packaged in syringes for storage and easier use:

    1. It can be introduced into a cartridge and vaped, using a 510 threaded battery vaporizer
    2. It can be squeezed out from the syringe and placed under the tongue and held for 2 minutes before swallowing
    3. It can be applied topically onto the skin or over a joint
    4. It can be introduced into foods or liquids and eaten, creating one’s own edibles – bownies, cookies etc.

Jenny Kush RSO (710mg THC)

There are many different varieties of Kush,” including Jenny Kush, purple Kush, OG Kush, Hindu Kush, and Bubba Kush to name some of the popular ones. Most of these strains are indica-based, originating from the Hindu Kush area of the Himalayas. Most are high in THC content, especially Master Kush which is considered very potent.

Jenny Kush is a hybrid cannabis strain named in memory of Jenny Monson, a cannabis activist who passed away in 2013 and is derived from Amnesia Haze and Rare Dankness. This strain provides a balance of sativa and indica effects, including soothing relaxation with an uplifting burst, Jand is considered to be suitable for use any time of the day.

Bruce Banner RSO (710mg THC and 20mg CBD per 1cc syringe)

Bruce Banner is a hybrid marijuana strain, also known as “Banner” and “OG Banner,” that is sativa-dominant (60:40 sativa/indica ratio). This strain has a THC content that typically ranges in the 25-29% range, making it one of the strongest cannabis strains with respect to THC. It’s reportedly relaxing, but also contributes to high energy levels which makes this a good daytime strain. Bruce Banner is considered a highly effective for chronic pain, but also good for anxiety, depression, nausea, and sleeplessness.

Per AskGrowers.com, Bruce Banner is listed as the 3rd most effective strain for managing phantom limb pain (with Blue Dream listed as the most effective). It is not evident how this conclusion was drawn but presumably it is based on survey feedback obtained from this website.

However, there does not appear to be any published studies that have actually evaluated which strains are best for phantom limb pain. For that matter, there doesn’t appear to be any published studies that evaluate the effectiveness of marijuana, THC, CBD or other cannabinoids for phantom limb pain.
