RSO, Rick Simpson Oil, and RSO-infused gummies have really changed the cannabis edibles game. Typically stronger than your average cannabis edible, RSO edibles offer potent effects with the longevity only an edible can offer.
RSO Gummies vs Regular Gummies
There are some overlapping effects and characteristics of RSO gummies and regular gummies, like the fact they’re both cannabis-based and come in various concentrations and flavors. Some unique details may lead you to prefer one over the other — RSO gummies tend to be stronger than regular gummies.
Differences
-
RSO Dosage: The average mg dose of an RSO gummy typically ranges from 10 mg to 50 mg of THC per gummy, depending on the manufacturer and intended use. These gummies are designed to deliver or mimic the potent effects of Rick Simpson Oil, which is known for its high THC concentration and full-spectrum cannabinoid profile. Some medical-grade RSO gummies may exceed 50 mg per gummy for patients with high tolerance or specific therapeutic needs.
-
Regular Gummy Dosage: The average dosage of a regular gummy varies widely based on its intended purpose and cannabinoid content. For THC gummies (made from hemp), dosages typically range from 2.5 mg to 10 mg per gummy, catering to casual or first-time users. But I’ve seen more potent options that contain 20 mg to 100 mg or more for those with higher tolerance. CBD gummies usually have 5 mg to 25 mg of CBD per gummy, depending on whether they’re meant for general wellness or targeted relief, and again can come in doses as high as 80 mg. Some gummies also combine cannabinoids like THC and CBD in balanced ratios.
Overlaps
RSO gummies and regular gummies share several similarities, including their convenient and discreet edible form, diverse flavor options, and ability to deliver cannabinoids like THC or CBD. Depending on their formulation, both types can offer targeted effects, such as relaxation and discomfort support. They are often made with similar ingredients, including gelatin or pectin (for vegan-friendly gummies), sweeteners, and infused cannabis extracts, making them approachable for different preferences and needs.
Benefits of Each
Benefits of RSO Gummies:
-
High Potency: Ideal for those needing stronger effects.
-
Full-Spectrum Effects: Contains a wide range of cannabinoids and terpenes for enhanced benefits. Because RSO is known for its rich cannabinoid and terpene profile, it can have a more hempy flavor that’s a bit bitter.
-
Wellness Use: Supports managing discomfort, healthy sleep cycles, and stress
-
Long-Lasting Relief: Provides extended effects due to the high THC concentration.
Benefits of Regular Gummies:
-
Customizable Dosage: Available in a range of THC or CBD strengths to suit various tolerance levels.
-
Diverse Formulations: Includes options for recreational use or specific effects, like focus or energy.
-
Accessible: Suitable for beginners and casual users.
-
Variety of Cannabinoids: Offers pure CBD, THC, or combinations like 1:1 blends for balanced effects.
RSO vs. Edibles
When comparing RSO gummies (like our Raw Scandanvian Oil Gummies) to other THC-dominant edibles on the market, the key difference lies in potency and cannabinoid profile.
RSO gummies are full spectrum, meaning they contain high THC levels alongside other cannabinoids, terpenes, and plant compounds. With this blend, you’ll experience the "entourage effect," making them some of the most potent options available for potential benefits, such as support for pain management, sleep support, or stress relief.
Our RSO options emphasize purity and high, but legal, THC concentration, setting them apart from many standard edibles.
In contrast, most edibles on the market — like gummies, chocolates, beverages, or baked goods — often contain distillates or isolates, which focus on either THC or CBD without the full spectrum profile. These products come in a range of potencies, from low-dose 2.5 mg THC options for beginners to 50 mg or more for experienced users.
Some high-potency THC edibles can rival RSO gummies in strength, but they may lack the additional cannabinoids and terpenes that contribute to RSO’s full spectrum benefits.
Edible product types commonly found include:
-
Gummies: THC, CBD, or mixed-ratio varieties in different flavors and dosages.
-
Chocolates: Infused with THC or CBD for a discreet, tasty option.
-
Baked Goods: Cookies, brownies, or pastries for those who prefer traditional edibles.
-
Drinks: THC or CBD-infused teas, sodas, or energy drinks.
-
Capsules: Edibles in pill form for precise dosing without flavoring.
How Strong Are RSO Gummies?
RSO gummies can feel stronger because they have a higher dose of THC compared to traditional CBD gummies, but both can be strong. It’s just that THC’s effects are much more apparent.
RSO gummies are typically quite potent as they are infused with Rick Simpson Oil, a highly concentrated cannabis extract. The strength of RSO gummies depends on the concentration of THC or CBD, dosage per gummy, and the intended use.
Concentration of THC or CBD: RSO is known for its high THC levels, but some products may be CBD-dominant. The exact milligram dosage per gummy will determine its strength.
Dosage per Gummy: Common doses range from 5 mg to 50 mg of THC or CBD per gummy, but RSO gummies often lean towards the higher end due to the potency of the oil.
Intended Use: RSO is often used for therapeutic purposes and is made with full-spectrum cannabis, meaning it includes a variety of cannabinoids and terpenes that enhance effects through the "entourage effect."
RSO Gummies or Regular Gummies?
When deciding between RSO gummies and regular gummies, the choice ultimately depends on your specific needs. RSO gummies are infused with Rick Simpson Oil, a full spectrum cannabis extract that contains high levels of THC and other cannabinoids, making them ideal for those seeking potent effects.
Regular gummies can vary in cannabinoid content and are typically milder, often designed for recreational use or targeted effects like sleep support or focus.
It’s not a simple choice to decide on either category, as you’ll need to take a closer look at the cannabinoid profile, concentration, and additional ingredients that may provide more targeted benefits.
