How to Make Homemade Infused Popsicles with RSO

A Chill Way to Medicate: RSO-Infused Popsicles for Summer

Summer is the season of sunshine, good vibes, and sweet frozen treats—and what better way to cool off than with RSO-infused popsicles? Whether you’re poolside, grilling with friends, or relaxing in the shade, homemade cannabis popsicles are a delicious, discreet, and easy way to enjoy the effects of RSO without smoking or vaping.

In this blog, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about making your own RSO popsicles at home, including infusion tips, flavor ideas, safe dosing, and more.

What Is RSO and Why Use It in Edibles?

RSO stands for Rick Simpson Oil, a potent, full-spectrum cannabis extract named after the Canadian medical cannabis activist who popularized its use. RSO is known for its thick, tar-like consistency and high levels of THC, as well as its rich profile of cannabinoids and terpenes.

Unlike distillate (which is often flavorless), RSO retains more of the plant’s original compounds—making it ideal for users seeking a more complete and holistic effect. 

Why Use RSO in Popsicles?

• Full-spectrum benefits from the whole plant

• Easy to dose into individual molds

• Perfect for those avoiding smoking or vaping

• Customizable flavors mask the herbal taste

Things to Know Before Infusing with RSO

1. RSO is already activated (decarboxylated)

You don’t need to heat it up to make it psychoactive. That means you can mix it right into cold recipes—perfect for popsicles, smoothies, or sauces.

2. Start low and go slow

RSO is very potent. Depending on the brand and batch, it may contain 600mg–900mg of THC per syringe. When making edibles, always measure carefully to ensure consistent and safe doses.

3. Flavor matters

RSO has a strong, earthy taste. Use bold or fruity flavors like lemonade, cherry, mango, or watermelon to complement or mask the taste.

Ingredients for RSO-Infused Popsicles

Here’s a simple, beginner-friendly recipe for making 6–8 cannabis-infused popsicles.

✅ What You’ll Need:

• 1 full syringe of RSO (600–850mg THC)

• 2½ cups of juice or drink mix (Kool-Aid, lemonade, fruit punch, etc.)

• ½ cup chopped fruit (optional) – mango, strawberries, peaches

• 1–2 tablespoons honey or agave (optional for extra sweetness)

• Silicone popsicle molds

• Popsicle sticks

• Measuring cups

• A small whisk or blender

Step-by-Step Recipe: How to Make RSO Popsicles

🍓 Step 1: Prepare Your Liquid Base

Choose a flavorful juice or drink mix. You can use store-bought lemonade, mix your own Kool-Aid, or even blend up your own fruit puree. The stronger and sweeter the flavor, the better it will mask the RSO taste.

Pour 2½ cups of your juice into a large mixing bowl or blender.

🌿 Step 2: Measure and Mix the RSO

Carefully warm the RSO syringe slightly by holding it in your hands or running it under warm water for 30 seconds. This makes it easier to dispense.

Add your desired amount of RSO to the juice mixture.

💡 Pro Tip: For beginner dosing, use 0.25g (250mg) of RSO across 6 popsicles. That’s about 40mg per pop.

Use a whisk or blender to fully emulsify the RSO into the juice. This helps ensure even distribution so each popsicle contains the same dose.

🍯 Step 3: Add Fruit and Sweetener

Want to level up your pops? Stir in fresh fruit chunks or natural sweeteners to customize the flavor and texture.

• Mango + Lime = tropical punch

• Strawberry + Lemonade = summer favorite

• Watermelon + Mint = ultra refreshing

🧊 Step 4: Pour and Freeze

Carefully pour the mixture into your popsicle molds, leaving a little room at the top for expansion.

Insert your popsicle sticks and place the molds in the freezer for at least 6 hours (overnight is best).

❄️ Step 5: Enjoy Responsibly

Once frozen, pop one out and enjoy! Start with half a popsicle if you’re new to RSO, and wait 1–2 hours to feel the full effects before consuming more.

Store remaining pops in the freezer for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.

Dosing Guide: How Strong Are These Popsicles?

Here’s a basic breakdown if you use a full 1g RSO syringe (~800mg THC):

You can halve the syringe or make larger batches to lower the dose per pop. Just make sure to mix thoroughly so each one is evenly dosed.

Flavored RSO Popsicle Ideas

Switch up your summer sesh with these fun and fruity combos:

• Peach Mango Punch – mango juice, peach nectar, lime, 0.5g RSO

• Cherry Lime Chill – tart cherry juice, lime, honey, 0.25g RSO

• Strawberry Watermelon Freeze – watermelon juice, muddled berries, 0.33g RSO

• Lemonade Kush Pops – classic lemonade + raspberries + RSO

Can I Use Other Cannabis Oils Instead?

Yes! You can make infused popsicles using:

• Distillate (clean, flavorless, high potency)

• THC tincture (if alcohol-free)

• Infused coconut oil (but it may separate—use a blender)

However, RSO is ideal if you want full-spectrum effects and don’t mind the herbal notes.

Are Infused Popsicles Legal?

Always check your local cannabis laws. In many recreational and medical states like Maryland, RSO and homemade edibles are legal for adults 21+ or patients with valid medical cards.

Make sure to label your infused treats, store them away from children, and never share with someone who hasn’t consented.

A Word on Safety and Storage

• Label clearly – use a sticker or marker

• Keep out of reach – especially around pets or kids

• Store in freezer – tightly sealed

• Don’t drive after use – these can creep up on you fast
