Note: RSO is powerful medicine with a powerful taste. Though it’s commonly administered sublingually, it goes down a lot easier with good food. When applied with a syringe, it also allows one of the most precise methods for controlling the dosage in your food. You can buy lab-tested RSO in most dispensaries, or make your own here.
