Note: CBD Oil is not the same as oil made by the Rick Simpson formula. Rick Simpson's oil is made from hemp/cannabis/marijuana which has a high THC content. CBD oil has little or no THC and will not therefore get you stoned.
[We would know a lot more about the benefits of hemp - CBD and THC - if the people in charge of our countries spent less time thinking about their money and their wars and more time on peace and the things that could benefit us citizens!]
A dental technician and mother of four, Ana Alvarez lives in a flat in Lima that she has converted into a cannabis laboratory. It is, she says, for the love of her son that she has become one of Peru’s leading advocates for liberalising drug laws in the conservative country.
Now 17, Anthony suffers from a rare and severe form of epilepsy called Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, as well as tuberous sclerosis, which causes tumours to grow on the brain and other organs.
“After three days of taking marijuana oil, Anthony started to reconnect with life, he began to socialise, he began to sleep, he began to eat, and little by little he started to recover,” she says. “The change after three days was something extraordinary and from that moment my fight began.”
Dorothy Santiago, a 29-year-old naval officer, was her co-conspirator. Santiago’s five-year-old son, Rodrigo, has the same clinical condition as Anthony.
“Rodrigo took cannabis oil and his seizures stopped for two days. He started to eat, he started to sleep. Because he never slept, we could not believe it!
“He began to connect with people. He had never been able to make visual contact with anyone except me,” she adds. “We know this is not a cure but it gives our children quality of life. We want it to be available to other children with the same condition.”
Note:Here we're talking about hemp oil made from the mature flower buds of cannabis, not oil made from hemp seeds. Cannabis, marijuana, hemp, dope, pot, ganja - are all different names for the same plant.
In most countries the cannabis plant and its parts are illegal to grow, consume, and possess. Anyone using the oil as medicine should establish for themselves how likely they feel the oil will be of benefit to them - that's the point of all the info on this blog. I (this blog's owner) am not a doctor or trained physician of any kind; however, I have used cannabis recreationally, and grown and researched it over the past 40 years, including making batches of oil and testing it on myself for strength and safety.
In all my research, which has been extensive, I have never come across any case of physical harm from consumption of cannabis. A massive dose would cause sweating and put the user to sleep. No one has ever died from cannabis consumption, though humans have ingested the plant and its products over the past several thousand years.
I must point out that it's quite possible to have a bad time under the influence of cannabis. This happens to me if I drink alcohol at the same time (but then I'm a very poor drinker). Paranoia can accompany cannabis use but, whatever the effect, it will pass.

Amelia adds some drops to a glass of water. This is not Rick Simpson Oil, which is thick and dark. She says these drops are a tincture, which would be made by placing cannabis bud in alcohol and leaving it for some weeks. But that is all I know about Amelia's medicine.
Here's another video in which Amelia tells her story -
In this video, it's quite clear that Amelia is using A CBD tincture. This is quite different from the Rick Simpson Oil which the others in the videos on this page are using.

My battle with breast cancer started 2 years ago, after so many Chemo, Radiation and other natural therapy treatment that i took just to cure my Breast cancer, it all didn’t work for my condition. I have been treating this disease for the past 2 years, but today i am here telling the world about my final victory over Breast cancer with the help of cannabis oil medication. This is a breakthrough in my family with so much Joy in our life today, i do really appreciate all the help and contribution from every member of my family for all they did for me. And if you have any kind of cancer diseases, there is no need to waste money on Chemo or Radiation. https://www.facebook.com/THeCureForCancers?fref=ts

I saw it cure a skin cancer in under three weeks. The large mole looking cancer fell off in two weeks and new pink skin had already started growing. Now, you can’t even tell where the cancer was. I would definitely try it.

Hi, my father-in-law has liver cancer with cirrhosis of the liver, testicular and breast cancer. I have been advised due to his liver condition to use CO suppositories. Can you please tell me,can I use normal gel caplets filled with the oil and coconut/organic cocoa butter? Does the melting of solid oils cause any issues? And does the caplet melt? Sorry for all the questions it’s just that we are running out of time and need to get our plan of action together. Reply:Hello Lisa,
Gel capsules do not dissolve fast enough in the rectum to make them a viable option (we have tested this, its uncomfortable at best). The melting of solid oils is the aim when creating a Cocoa Butter suppository. Be aware that when you heat Cocoa Butter past 35 degrees C it reduces its melting point. We suggest storing suppositories made with either fat be stored in the fridge prior to use to allow for insertion without pre-melting in the hand.
You can also infuse your Cannabis into Coconut oil and then combine that with Cocoa Butter to achieve the desired consistency. Dieter MacPherson

I am interested in the same thing as I have 85yo mum with stomach and pancreatic cancer.. Have been told to heat coconut oil and mix in co 1:1 and then insert
De Deckere Peter
Hi Jenifer and angsf ! In a post from budbuddiesuk I read that they advise to start day 1 to 5 with 25 mg once a day. Day 6 to 10, twice 25 mg a day. Day 11 to 15, 4 times 25 mg. Day 16 to 20, 4 times 50 mg. Day 21 to 25, 4 times 100 mg. Day 26 to 31, 4 times 150 mg. From day 31 on, 4 times 250 mg. The rest is a matter of mathematics. If you want to do it with a syringe, the first 20 days will be difficult to measure because it’s so little to insert. A correct dosage is easier if you make your own suppositories. You can buy plastic moulds to make them in. As far as I read, 1 ml of oil is roughly 1 gram so if you know or measure with a syringe how many ml goes in 1 mould for your suppository you can mathematically work out how much oil you have to mix with how much coconut oil to make suppositories of the correct dosage. Just warm it up together “in a bain marie and mix it till it looks like the oil is evenly mixed throughout the coconut oil. Suck it up with a syringe and fill your moulds. To make it all even more precise: 1 ml of coconut oil weighs 0,92 grams I found out somewhere on the Internet. Let the suppositories cool down and harden. You can store them in the fridge and … well … Insert them as necessary or prescribed! I hope this is helpful info to you! http://cannabisdigest.ca/cannatory/
You want me to put that WHERE? by Nicholas Fraleigh
This is a common reaction to the suggestion that cannabis can be used as a suppository. Rectal administrations (suppositories) have an unfairly bad reputation in North America, despite the diverse benefits they offer. This article aims to educate about the advantages associated with the rectal application of cannabis and provide a simple set of guidelines for the effective use of suppositories.
There are many advantages to the rectal administration of cannabis not afforded by other routes. Medicine may still be administered even if the oral route is impaired (e.g., due to vomiting, an injured jaw or throat, or gastrointestinal difficulties) or disallowed due to the oral intake restrictions that are frequently required both before and after surgery. Avoiding the gastrointestinal tract also prevents first-pass metabolism by the stomach and liver, which break down many different molecules into their constituent parts (including delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol, otherwise known as THC), and allows the active constituents to reach the blood in much higher concentrations.
In the case of THC, the liver transforms around half of what is ingested into the significantly more psychoactive metabolite 11-Hydroxy-delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol. While not harmful in and of itself and potentially of therapeutic benefit, this molecule causes much more intense cognitive effects than THC.
Rectal administration not only avoids these effects, but also allows a much greater proportion of THC to eventually reach the blood stream. This increase in overall efficiency is also shown in the different levels of bioavailability that different administration routes afford. Rectal administration also allows for medicine to exert effects over localized ailments (e.g., hemorrhoidal tissue, inflammation of the rectum, or tumours in the rectal cavity). This form of use also has a much faster uptake than oral administration (around 10 minutes, on average) and leads to more consistent blood concentrations of the active constituents. The speed and reliability of their uptake combined with their circumvention of many of the issues surrounding both ingestion and inhalation make rectal applications an excellent addition to both new and pre-existing therapeutic regimens.
Comparative bioavailability of different administration routes: Inhalation:
10 – 25% efficiency, highly variable, depends largely on the individual’s level of experience.
Oral:
around 20% efficiency, highly variable, even between doses within a single individual
Rectal:
around 50% – 70% efficiency, with predictable effects even between different individuals.
When designing a personalized medication regimen, it is important to know the various timings involved with a given administration route. With suppositories, most people will begin to notice initial effects within the first 10 – 15 minutes after insertion. These effects usually last for between 4 – 8 hours, depending on the individual’s physiology and tolerance to cannabis. This swift increase in effect allows for acute dosing in many cases, although this depends both on the situation and on specific individual needs. There are several issues that can slow absorption from the rectum to the blood stream. Diarrhea and fecal matter can slow or prevent the active ingredients from reaching the rectal wall and being absorbed. Tumours or cysts on the rectal wall can also slow or prevent absorption. In this case, less medicine would reach the blood, but as the tumours are likely the intended target(s) of the suppository, the direct delivery of the active constituents may help prevent an overall reduction in efficacy. Finally, rectal dehydration can drastically reduce the effectiveness of suppositories. Staying well hydrated by maintaining a healthy consumption of both water and electrolytes should prevent this in most cases, but specific medical conditions may cause it as well, in which case the solution may not be as simple.
As always, if there are concerns, a medical professional should be consulted.
Anyone who decides to take advantage of the benefits provided by suppositories should do so with a good understanding of the process involved. Although not overly complex, the few simple instructions outlined below will enable their effective use.
Instructions: Before insertion
It is important to wash your hands thoroughly before insertion of a suppository, as germs and bacteria can enter the body through the rectum.
Disposable medical gloves or a finger cot can be used for this purpose.
Ensure that fingernails are trimmed and have no sharp edges.
Ensure the suppository is firm enough to insert.
If it is too soft, harden it in the package by placing it in either the fridge or freezer.
Suppositories can also be quickly hardened in the package by running cold water over them.
If only half of a suppository is being used, cut it lengthwise to make insertion easier.
When cutting, make sure to use a sterile knife or scissors.
Avoid sharp edges! Suppositories can be gently smoothed by hand.
Insertion
Lie on your preferred side with your top leg pulled up towards your chest.
Lift your upper butt-cheek to expose your rectum.
Insert the suppository lengthwise, with the pointed tip first, using your index finger to push the suppository in.
Placement
Ensure the suppository has been inserted past the anal sphincter. If not inserted fully past the sphincter, some or all of the suppository may be expelled without the active ingredients reaching the rectal wall and being absorbed into the blood stream.
It is important to not place the suppository too high up in the rectum.
If placed too high, the active constituents will enter the Superior (upper) hemorrhoidal artery, which leads to the liver. This presents the same problem as oral application, as the liver will metabolize a significant proportion of the active ingredients.
The suppository should ideally be placed around 2 ½ to 4 centimetres (1 to 1 ½ inches) into the rectum, just past the anal sphincter.
After insertion
Hold your buttocks together and tightly squeeze the muscles in your sphincter for a few seconds after insertion to help keep the suppository from sliding out.
Remain lying on your side for several minutes after insertion to allow the suppository to fully diffuse through the rectum. This will also help to prevent the unintended expulsion of the suppository.
Dispose of the glove or finger cot sanitarily and wash your hands thoroughly using soap and hot water, paying extra attention to cleaning under the nails and between the fingers.
Be very aware of the possibility of unintended expulsion of melted suppository residue during flatulence over the next few hours after insertion. If you have ANY doubts, use a toilet.
The unique properties provided by the rectal administration of cannabis have the potential to empower many individuals. Suppositories can be used to refine existing therapeutic regimens to greater effect. Individuals who have been prevented from using cannabis due to an inability to administer via either inhalation or ingestion can potentially derive benefit from this wonderful plant for the first time.

I use a syringe and put oil in Mcdonalds' straws and put in freezer and cut off what i need, works great.

The use of oil made from THC rich cannabis was discovered/developed by Rick Simpson from Canada.
The original source for all Rick Simpson's advice and methods is here: phoenixtears.ca ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you're in the UK and need to make the oil, then, for a solvent, probably the easiest is to use Isopropyl Alcohol. This is readily available and not expensive. For instance, you can buy 10 litres of 99.9% pure Isopropyl Alcohol from Amazon for £29.99.
