Rick Simpson Oil is a preparation made from cannabis oil, the oils of Cannabis flower. It is named after its Canadian creator, circa 2003, which he used to treat his tinnitus, and is also known as phoenix tears.[1][2][3][4] It has been claimed to have healing benefits for cancer. As of 2022[update], no such properties are known.[5]

We also describe severe CNS depression after ingestion of a homemade concentrate referred to as 'Rick Simpson Oil' (RSO). RSO has been sold as an unproven treatment for cancer and has the potential to induce severe cannabis toxicity, particularly in naïve patients, due to its high concentration of psychoactive substances, including THC.
