Why We Switched to RSO (and Why You’re Gonna Feel the Difference)

If there’s one thing we take seriously at Emerald Elevation, it’s quality. From the ingredients we use to the experience we deliver, we’re always looking for ways to elevate what we make and how it makes you feel. That’s why we made a big change — every single one of our products is now made with RSO instead of distillate.

Yep, you read that right. We’ve gone full-spectrum. 🌿

This isn’t just a behind-the-scenes switch. It’s a total upgrade in how our products work, taste, and feel. And once you understand what RSO is — and how it stacks up against distillate — you’ll see why we’re so excited about it.

What Exactly Is RSO?

RSO stands for Rick Simpson Oil, named after the man who popularized it. It’s a full-spectrum extract, which means it keeps all the natural compounds from the plant — cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and essential oils. Instead of isolating one thing (like THC or CBD), RSO captures the entire plant’s profile, creating a more complete, balanced experience.

Think of it like this:
Distillate is like listening to one instrument.
RSO? That’s the whole band playing in sync. 🎶

When all those natural compounds work together, something magical happens — the entourage effect. It’s what gives full-spectrum products their depth, balance, and longer-lasting effects.

RSO vs. Distillate: What’s the Difference?

Distillate is a refined, single-compound oil. It’s clean, strong, and consistent — but in that refining process, most of the plant’s natural compounds get stripped away. What’s left is potent, sure, but also kind of… flat.

RSO, on the other hand, keeps the plant’s natural balance intact. Here’s how they compare:

Feature	RSO (Rick Simpson Oil)	Distillate
Extraction Style	Full-spectrum, keeps all plant compounds	Highly refined, isolates one compound
Cannabinoid Profile	Multiple cannabinoids (THC, CBD, CBG, etc.)	Mostly one primary cannabinoid
Terpenes & Flavor	Natural, earthy, aromatic	Neutral or flavorless
Effects	Full-bodied, longer-lasting, and balanced	Strong but short-lived
Vibe	Authentic and holistic	Simplified and one-note

So while distillate delivers a punch, RSO delivers an experience. It’s smoother, more natural, and connects you to the full benefits of the plant — not just one isolated part.

Why We Made the Switch

When we first started experimenting with RSO, we noticed something right away — it just felt better. The flavor was richer. The effects were fuller. The experience was more balanced. And that’s exactly what we want for our customers.

Here’s why we knew RSO was the right move:

✨ Full-Spectrum Power: RSO keeps all those natural compounds working together for maximum impact.
💪 Stronger, Longer-Lasting Effects: You’ll feel the difference in both potency and duration.
🧘‍♀️ More Balanced Experience: No more highs that spike and crash — RSO delivers a smoother, steadier feel.
🌱 Closer to Nature: RSO is less processed, more natural, and stays true to the plant’s original chemistry.
💚 Better Flavor, Better Feel: Expect earthy, aromatic notes that taste as real as they feel.

We’ve always said Emerald Elevation is about real ingredients, real results, real elevation — and switching to RSO takes that commitment to the next level.

How RSO Changes Our Products

This switch impacts everything we make — from edibles to oils and beyond. You’ll notice:

• Richer flavors that taste more natural and authentic.
  
• Smoother effects that feel clean and balanced.
  
• Longer-lasting elevation that keeps you grounded yet uplifted.
  

Every Emerald Elevation product is now infused with full-spectrum RSO, meaning you’re getting the real deal every time. No shortcuts, no filler, no watered-down formulas — just pure, plant-powered elevation.

And don’t worry — the products you already love aren’t changing in ways you won’t recognize. They’ll just feel better.

What This Means for You

At the end of the day, this change is all about you. We want our customers to have the best experience possible — one that’s natural, consistent, and truly effective.

RSO gives you:
🌿 More of the plant’s natural benefits
🔥 A more potent and flavorful product
💫 An experience that feels organic, not synthetic

It’s the same Emerald Elevation quality you trust — just taken to the next level.

The Bottom Line

Switching to RSO isn’t just a change in ingredients. It’s a reflection of what we stand for — transparency, authenticity, and real results.

Every product we make now celebrates the whole plant, not just part of it. That means when you choose Emerald Elevation, you’re choosing full-spectrum goodness, better balance, and a more elevated experience from start to finish.

So go ahead — grab your favorite product and feel the RSO difference for yourself. Because at Emerald Elevation, we don’t just make products that work — we make products that elevate you naturally. 💚
