How is RSO made?
-
Combine 1 lb (16 oz) of dried cannabis and 1 US gal (3.8 L) of food-grade alcohol. Some say Indica is the best option for RSO. However, you can use any strain you’d like. To make RSO at home , break up large chunks of cannabis with a wooden spoon. Then, pour the solvent of your choice until the plant is completely covered. Stir and crush the cannabis while you add the solvent for about 3 minutes. [18] X Research source
- You can also use 99% isopropyl alcohol, butane, ethanol, or similar solvents. Use food-grade alcohol for ingestion.
- Food-grade and isopropyl alcohol are flammable and cannot be used around open flames, stovetops, cigarettes, or electrical sparks.

-
Drain the solvent into a large bowl over a cheesecloth. Once the cannabis has dissolved, strain the solvent through a cheesecloth . Let it sit for a minute. If you still have extra cannabis and alcohol, repeat the process of crushing, stirring, and draining. [19] X Research source
-
Pour the solvent into a rice cooker and add more solvent as needed. Fill a rice cooker three-quarters of the way with your solvent. Close and set the rice cooker to 210–230°F (99–110 °C). As the alcohol evaporates, slowly add more until you’ve poured all the solvent in. [20] X Research source
- Ensure you cook the solvent in a well-ventilated area and avoid flames, stovetops, and similar high-combustion appliances.
-
Look for a dark, greasy consistency before filling a syringe. The alcohol has dissolved when a thick, dark oil remains. Dip a 60 mL (2.0 fl oz) syringe into the oil, and slowly pull on the plunger to fill the syringe. Top the syringe with a plastic tip to prevent it from spilling. [21] X Research source
- You may need multiple syringes to get the oil out. Store them in a dark, cool place until you're ready to use them.
