Rick Simpson Oil

Rick Simpson Oil

Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) is named after the developer of the famous product. Rick Simpson created the oil to cure his cancer. Many others have cited the nutrient rich oil as a cure for their own cancer.(Source)

A full spectrum of cannabinoids are present in Rick Simpson Oil, most notably THC. The benefits of the cannabinoids together give different medicinal effects than CBD Oil. (Source) Also named Phoenix Tears, RSO is made from a recipe that is available on Rick Simpson's website. The oil uses Indica strain flowers, so the color varies with each batch. Patients can ingest the oil or apply it directly on the skin for targeted relief.

When starting out with RSO, ingest a small amount (approx. the size of a grain of rice). The oil is very potent and should only be used when you’re not working or driving. Once you start your treatment, you will build a tolerance - with time, you will be able to take more RSO in a single dose. (Source)

The Benefits of Cannabis with Premenstrual Syndrome

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a physical and emotional disruption in the body a few days before a females menstrual cycle begins. A hormone shift causes discomfort resulting in a variety of symptoms. Many of these conditions can be reduced with cannabis use.

Cannabis use has no effect on hormone levels that cause PMS. Marijuana is a natural alternative to prescribed medications. Conditions can become more severe with menopause and Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Many women that use marijuana for temporary relief do not use it long term.(Source)

Physical symptoms include migraines, gastrointestinal, cravings, insomnia, pain and fatigue. Emotional conditions include depression, anxiety, lack of concentration and mood swings. Marijuana has shown to have less side effects than other opiate medication in treating PMS.

Indica strains generally can help with pain management from PMS. Smoking can give immediate relief while in the edible form can be more long lasting. Many women work on finding the right combination of CBD for gastrointestinal issues and pain. We urge you to consider offering a testimonial describing how cannabis has helped you with treatment for PMS.

Beta Myrcene is the Most Common Terpene in Cannabis

Beta Myrcene is the most common terpene found in cannabis. It has a spicy herbal scent that is known to aid in treatment to pain, inflammation and muscle relaxation. This terepene is also found in bay leaves, eucalyptus, hops, lemongrass, mangos, parsley and thyme. The high amount of β-Myrcene in Indica strains are what give the “couch-lock” sedative effect.(Source)

Myrcene, or β-myrcene is a monoterpene which is a volatile compound that evaporates quickly with exposure to air. It is known as an essential oil for its fragrance and is used for menthol and citronella products. Cannabis strains that contain high amounts of Beta Myrcene are White Widow and Neville's Haze.(Source)

The benefits of Beta Myrcene are found in it's analgesic, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, sedative and ability to reduce muscle spasms. Lemon grass tea is known for it's pain relieving effects due to it's high content in β-myrcene. Studies with high content of Myrcene in mice have shown a sedative quality. The terpene has a unique ability to intesify the effects of the CB1 receptors in the body which helps in inflammation and pain relief.

Myrcene lowers the resisistance across the blood brain barrier. This effect makes other chemicals like THC to absorb and take effect more quickly. Indica strains in cannabis offer a .5% or greater potency in myrcene allowing for better delivery of THC and it's effects. Sativa strains typically contain less than .5% which allows the effects to be more subtle. It has been found that eating a mango a half hour before smoking cannabis increases the psycho active effects for it's high content of β-Myrcene.

Indica and Sativa, what about Ruderalis?

Cannabis Species

Their are 3 predominant species of cannabis, Indica and Sativa that have been breed over generations to have a high THC content and predictable growing patterns, and Ruderalis, named after the German named “ruderal” meaning weeds by the roadside. Many in the cannabis growing community disregard the Ruderalis species, however it's high content of CBD as well as it's extremely fast growing time may come to be beneficial in the medical marijuana industry.

Ruderalis is thought to come from Sativa, having thin leaves much like the Sativa, but in contrast only growing a foot in height, while the Sativa is the tallest of the cannabis species. The origins are thought to be from Russian cannabis growers where the flowers that escaped outside the plantation seeded and started growing as volunteers. They adapted attributes to survive in the climate such as shorter in length and quicker growing time, losing the attributes that weren't helpful to survival such as high THC content. The ability for the ruderalis to flower without photo-activation makes it unique and necessary for the long days without sunlight in far north climates.

There are reasons to integrate the ruderalis species into the medical marijuana industry:

• Faster Growing time

• Humidity Resistant

• Auto Flowering (light not needed to flower)

• Intense light yields many trichomes leading to high amount of CBD

• Mold Resistant

• Drought Tolerant

Some Popular Cannabis strains have already utilized the Ruderalis species. Neville Schoenmaker, founder of Sensei Seeds, created Ruderalis Indica, Ruderalis Skunk and Four-Way, hybrids that were created in hopes of autoflowering. Sensei Seeds comments that the auto-flowering was not completely successful. Canadian Growers in British Columbia have cultivated the strain Mighty Mite for it's auto-flowering and quick growing, a popular ruderalis hybrid. A hybrid of Mighty Mite but more potent is Guerilla Gold which has a semi auto-flowering uniqueness. FIN-314, also known as Finola, is used for hemp cultivation and has a very low government acceptable THC amount and high in Cannabinoids.

A well known grower named the Joint Doctor took a Mexican Rudy known for it's auto-flowering and mixed it with a Northern Lights and a Williams Wonder to create the Lowryder strain. This popular Lowryder is used by many to create an auto-flowering strain that produces high THC. The auto-flowering is a recessive trait and therefore a consistent behavior of auto-flowering has yet to be achieved.

The Differences Between Indica and Sativa Cannabis Strains

Differences Between Indica and Sativa

There are many choices to consider when selecting a strain of cannabis, and at OUTCO in San Diego, we have bud specialists to help find a strain for your treatment. One main category for cannabis is separating them into Indica or Sativa, and then hybrids that have the genetics of both. Indica and Sativa have some general differences that are accepted by cannabis connoisseurs:

Indica

• Originated in Higher altitudes

• Higher Yield per plant with shorter growing time

• Shorter and Fuller plants with broad leaves

• Fruity to Skunk Flavors

• Stronger Sedating

Treatment:

• Pain Relief

• Sleep Problems

• Migraines and Headaches

• Stress and Anxiety

Sativa

• Originated close to the equator.

• Less of a Yield and longer growing time

• Grow taller with narrow leaves.

• From Fruity to Cat Piss Flavor

• More uplifting

Treatment:

• Depression

• Increases focus and creativity

• Stimulates and Energizes

• Uplifting and euphoric thoughts

A New Way of Categorizing Cannabis

Jeffrey Taber, who has a Ph.D in Chemistry, was the first to test terepenes in cannabis in 2011. He theorizes that the differences in cannabis are less in whether they are indica or sativa, but more in the different terepenes within the strain of cannabis. Terepenes are like the fingerprint to the plant, rather than the CBD, THC content or name given to the plant that may be found to have been miscategorized. Terepenes are the flavor and taste, but also introduce the multitudes of benefits and effects that vary from one strain to another.

Within each strain their will be different amounts of CBD or THC and also vary on taste and aroma from the different growing conditions. Each strain effects the patient differently depending on body chemistry. The way in which the strain is given to the patient as well will vary the effects, such as vape pen, bong, joint, edible etc.

Bubba Kush Strain - History and Effects

Bubba Kush

Bubba Kush, also known as P-98 or Pre-98 Bubba Kush, is a cannabis strain with it's name originating from the Hindu Kush mountains of Afghanistan that also goes into Pakistan. Kush is an indica strain that was brought to America in 1970 and revered for its quality. Kush is also called OG standing for “original” since there are many knock-offs.

Bubba originates from a well known grower named Bubba in the Denver area that through cloning created a short stumpy and thick strain of cannabis he named Bubba. With the Kush tall and lanky appearance, the two compliment each other as a hybrid to get the best of the Kush and the Bubba.

Bubba the grower had a friend by the name of Josh D that hermaphrodited and pollinated the two making the famous strain. Josh being a friend of the popular band Cypress Hill proliferated the strain into a very popular strain for socialites and the rap community. Known for the glazed over haze look that users have using bubba kush, in 2009, Representative Mark Kirk (R-IL) tried to pass a bill to outlaw the Kush strain, the bill failed.

Great for relaxing your mind and body after a long day, Bubba Kush can increase appetite, give relief minor pain and increase bowel movements. Bubba Kush is light green with great trichome heads. The taste is earthy, tangy and sweet with a coffee taste undertone that feels smooth and has a minty aftertaste. Most describe the effects of Bubba Kush as being cognitive but glazed, giving a massaging and relaxation sensation that is warming to the body and mind.
