As of 2025, edibles remain illegal in West Virginia. However, patients still deserve real options, and not everyone wants to use a dry herb vaporizer or dab rig to use their medicine, especially if they’re managing chronic conditions, pain, or appetite loss, and prefer a different approach given personal health and lifestyle preferences. That’s where Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) comes in, and this spicy, savory pizza is one way to work it into your day, without turning to inhalation¹. Today, we are going to teach you how to make an affordable and easy RSO Recipe: Infused Hot Honey-Glazed Pizza.
Yeah, you heard that right.
Why This Recipe?
This isn’t your average “medible.” We built this recipe around bold, savory ingredients like cured meats, red pepper flakes, and a drizzle of hot honey, designed to be comforting and practical for grown-ups. Unlike the hemp you find elsewhere, our goal is to steer clear of candy-like, sugary treats, acknowledging that this is not intended for children.
The spice and savory profile from the glaze and toppings helps balance the intensity of the RSO infusion, without drawing attention to the product itself. It’s about making the use of medical cannabis more approachable for adults using it responsibly.
How to Work RSO Into a Meal
Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) is known for being strong and full-spectrum, which makes it a go-to for many medical cannabis patients¹. It’s typically administered orally, using a small syringe-style applicator. That said, not everyone enjoys taking it straight; many people prefer to mix it into food instead.
While your pizza is in the oven, gently warm some honey in the microwave, or use the double-boil method until the honey becomes smooth and easy to stir. Next, add your measured dose of RSO, along with a pinch of red pepper flakes to create a bold, spicy glaze. The best part? The glaze is applied after baking, keeping the process simple. You can easily control your dosage, while providing a discreet way to consume it², ultimately allowing for flexibility in your routine. Most notably, the recipe itself is a budget-friendly option that still tastes great, even without RSO.
Dosing 101
Let’s be real, RSO is strong. Start with a clean syringe to measure your dose, and remember: always start low and go slow. Many medical patients begin with a rice grain-sized amount². If you’re unsure of how to dose, you can ask your budtender for assistance.
As a word of caution, always consult with your certifying medical provider to determine responsible options for consumption based on your condition and lifestyle preferences³. And please, as a friendly reminder, never guesstimate your dose. RSO isn’t like regular cooking oil. A tiny bit goes a long way.
