Is this the 'Race from the Cure' guy?

Yes and idiots like him are subversion artists and useful idiots. See Marc Emery. They work very hard in conjunction with wholly corrupt corporate captured government institutes like Health Canada to ensure that the drug cannot be taken seriously while selling our rights off back to big Pharm.

Rick Simpson Oil is a toxic soup that's boiled down to a tar like substance. It's closer to poison than medicine. The only thing it treats is the little bit of freedom that people would have enjoyed had the drug been able to be taken seriously.

Did you know that tar is used to treat psoriasis and other skin conditions?

With what degree of efficacy/side effects, relative to products that are properly made? Do you know they tell people to eat this shit? You're not understanding my argument. My position is not that "cannabinoids show no efficacy". That's nonsense. It has the capability of being a highly effective medicine for many things.

What I'm saying is that the way this garbage is made is scientifically backwards and deplorable. Boiling off the solvents, Naphtha/whatever, at high heat, is destructive of the beneficial compounds, producing tars as byproducts of degradation, and still leaves the solvent residuals. It's common sense. Make it fucking properly. This asshole is a snake oil and bullshit artist. Here is what a two second search on the issue returns.

This shit is black for a reason.

Assholes like this are extremely damaging and subversive. Ultimately they provide big pharm a foot in the door by saying "we're the only ones who can do it right", and provide the government with the justification for the removal of our rights as their coddled useful idiots. You really very seriously have to consider why the rent seeking faux compassion cartels, like CAMCD, elevate these snake oil artists while they lobby the government with Pfizer.

I think included in the "recipe" is a specific temperature not to exceed. I think it is around 240 or so - which is why they tell you to use a ricecooker, which does not burn to the same temperature.

If you have ever smoked a cigarette or used a pipe before, the fire burning the substance is exponentially hotter and more carcinogenic.

That being said, you are right that throwing naptha into the mix is incredibly stupid. CO2 and ethanol ftw.

There is no saving or excuses for that BS, sorry. It is a shit, toxic product. He is a snake oil and bullshit artist. It does not represent the capabilities of the plant, but it is a most fair representation of the con artistry undermining and suffocating the industry.
