Introduction
Cannabis oil is a thick, sticky, resinous substance made up of cannabinoids, such as THC and CBD, that is extracted from the cannabis plant (Cannabis sativa or Cannabis indica). Cannabis oil is a cannabis based product obtained by separating the resins from cannabis flowers using a solvent extraction process. Cannabis oil can also be known as marijuana oil, Rick Simpson Oil (RSO), Full extract cannbais oil (FECO), hash oil, dabs, shatter, or wax.
Cannabis oil is used for a variety of purposes and has been used for thousands of years. It was thought to have many therapeutic benefits ranging from treating inflammation to alleviating pain. Cannabis oil is still used today for its potential medical benefits.
Cannabis oil should not be confused with hemp seed oil, which is a different product made from a different part of the plant. Hemp seed oil does not contain any THC or CBD and is not psychoactive.
What is Cannabis Oil?
Cannabis oil is a thick, sticky, resinous substance made up of cannabinoids, such as THC and CBD, that is extracted from the cannabis plant (Cannabis sativa or Cannabis indica). Oil made from the indica plant is more relaxing, while oil from the sativa plant is more energizing.
The Different Types of Cannabis Oil
Cannabis oil can be extracted from either marijuana plants or industrial hemp plants, which are legal in most countries as they contain trace amounts of THC.
There are three main types of cannabis oil:
1. Marijuana oil – This type of oil is made from marijuana plants and can contain THC levels of up to 30%.
2. Hemp oil – This type of oil is made from hemp plants and can contain THC levels of 0.3% or less.
3. CBD oil – This type of oil does not contain any THC and is made from CBD isolate or extract. CBD oils are legal in most countries as they do not have any psychoactive effects.
Each type of cannabis oil has its own uses and benefits. For example, marijuana oil is typically used for medical purposes, while hemp oil is often used as a dietary supplement. CBD oil can be used to treat various medical conditions, but it is most commonly used to manage pain, anxiety, and inflammation.

The Different Ways to Use Cannabis Oil
Cannabis oil can be used in different ways depending on the ailment being treated and the desired effects. It can be taken orally, rubbed on the skin, or inhaled as vapor.
To take cannabis oil orally, it can be placed under the tongue and held for 60 seconds before swallowing. This method is said to have a bioavailability of 20-30%. That means that 20-30% of the THC will actually make it into your bloodstream.
To use cannabis oil topically, it can be rubbed directly onto the skin or added to lotions and salves. It can also be used as an ingredient in homemade skincare products. The THC in cannabis oil will not be absorbed through the skin so there is no risk of getting high from topical application.
To inhale cannabis oil, also known as dabbing, it must first be heated and then inhaled through a dab rig or vape pen. This method has a bioavailability of 50-70%. Dabbing is said to provide a more potent and immediate effect than other methods of consuming cannabis oil.
The Different Forms of Cannabis Oil
As the popularity of cannabis oil continues to grow, you may be wondering how to use it. Cannabis oil comes in a variety of forms, including tinctures, capsules, edibles, and topical products. The type of product you choose will depend on your individual needs and preferences.
Tinctures are cannabis oil products that come in a bottle with a dropper. They are often used by people who want to take cannabis oil sublingually (under the tongue). Capsules are similar to tinctures, but they come in pre-measured doses that make them easy to take. Edibles are foods or drinks that have been infused with cannabis oil. Topical products are meant to be applied directly to the skin.
Once you’ve selected a product, you will need to know how to use it. Tinctures and capsules can be taken orally, while edibles must be digested before they take effect. Topical products can be used as needed and do not need to be ingested.
