RSO syringe strength and effects: short answer
RSO syringe strength is not fixed. Read the label for total THC in milligrams per syringe and per milliliter. A 1 mL syringe holds about 0.8 g to 1 g of oil. Legal tests vary by batch. A 1 mL syringe with 70% THC has about 700 mg THC. Effects from oral RSO start in 30 to 90 minutes. Effects last 4 to 8 hours. Start with 10 mg THC or less.
How to read the strength label
A legal RSO label lists total THC, total CBD, batch number, and net weight. Check the unit. Some labels list THC per gram. Some list THC per syringe. A 1 mL syringe with 70% THC has about 700 mg THC. A dose of 0.1 mL from that syringe has about 70 mg THC. That dose is large for a new user. Use a 1 mL syringe with 1 mL markings. A 0.02 mL to 0.05 mL dose from 70% oil has about 14 mg to 35 mg THC. Confirm the math on the package.
Effects and timing
Oral RSO passes through the liver. Onset is slower than inhalation. Peak effect can arrive at 1.5 to 3 hours. Duration is 4 to 8 hours. Effects include dry mouth, drowsiness, relaxed mood, changed perception, and impaired coordination. Heart rate can rise. Some users report nausea relief and appetite change. These reports are not proof of medical benefit. RSO is not an FDA-approved drug.
Dosing steps
- Read total THC mg on the syringe label.
- Pick a starting dose of 10 mg THC or less.
- Measure with the syringe markings. Do not guess.
- Take with food. Wait 90 minutes before another dose.
- Record the dose, time, and effects.
Risk notes
- Do not drive after oral RSO. Coordination and reaction time can drop.
- Keep RSO in a locked container. Child exposure to THC can cause severe symptoms.
- Talk to a clinician before use if you take sedatives, blood thinners, or heart drugs.
- Store the syringe at room temperature. Heat can change oil thickness and dose flow.
