What you're planning to produce is Concentrated Cannabis Oil (CCO). Just about everyone else calls it RSO, but here at 
we decided to call it what it actually is. When you get ready to make your oil I'd advise you to read through the first couple pages of Tim's Making CCO thread, as well as Gigi's new blog on her adventures in oil making for cancer patients.
My Experience with Rick Simpson Oil (RSO)(Concentrated Cannabis Oil (CCO)) vs. Cancer
In all honesty though Magnus, your medical concerns can easily be treated with an infused oil instead of a concentrated oil. The big difference is cost. That solvent isn't cheap, or always easy to come by. Olive or coconut oils are much more affordable and more easily accessible. An infused oil is also much easier to produce than CCO.
Having said that, CCO is really great fun to make, and I think everyone could benefit from making it at least once. Be forewarned, the process of producing CCO is addictive. 
HI SweetSue,
Thanks for this. It helps immensely, though I'm leaning towards using CCO rather than an infused oil. I don't know why. Maybe it's the "fun factor" tat you speak about. Maybe not. Maybe because it has more to do with being able to control my intake more readily. There is great variation in strengths of infused oils, much more I would imagine than in making a cco or rso. Cost is another factor, yes, but I imagine that cco production would be much more effective at extracting all the cannabinoids from the plant than an infusion would. So doing an infusion would leave cannabinoids behind in my mind, and so would be less effective at getting all the good stuff from the plant. Getting these cannabinoids from the plant is central in my mind in that I don't expect to have a lot this first grow to work with and infusing the trim or the buds wouldn't work as well to extract those elements that I need for my dosage.
Does that make sense?
Also, and people may throw daggers at me for suggesting this, cco reminds me of black hash oil that we used to spread on papers and roll and smoke as teenagers. I imagine doing this with my own cco. As you may remember, I will need fast acting relief first thing every morning, and it seems more economical to smoke this oil rather than smoke buds since I can make it with trim, too. Yes, yes. Bring on the hate mail. I expect and accept it with grace. But I'm still gonna try smoking it until someone either tells me they've done it and it was a complete waste of time or someone cites journal after journal showing me that it is more carcinogenerous than BIG Tobacco. And yes, I know I spelled that C-word wrong, but I was hoping that none of you were spelling B winners in 3rd grade and so wouldn't know the difference. So there.
I don't know. I just cannot imagine that an infusion is going to extract as many cannabinoids as an extraction, and I've worked with plenty of both in my time and former career. An infusion is always going to leave some of the good shit behind. Pardon my French. Or shall I say, Pardon my Quebecois, as it were.
So those are the thoughts of my sleep deprived brain as I encounter them at waaaay too late in the evening. Or morning. Take it as you like it. All I know is I'm still doing the happy dance over the news on Friday and am thrilled over the help I got on my nutes problem that Scrogdawg helped me with. My plants are recovering nicely and finally beginning to grow like the killer-weeds I know them to be. I had another word for killer-weeds, but it cannot be written in pleasant company. And I am NOT one to self-censor at the best -- or worst -- of times!
And I did read through what I think was Tim's pages on making cco and if they are the pages I"m thinking of, they are indecipherable. The language choices made by whoever wrote them were very poor indeed. So much so that those instructions are confusing, hard to understand and render the instructions as overly complicated and difficult to follow. The only thing redeeming about those instructions were the pics themselves. And they were great pics for describing the tasks at hand. Now, I know that whoever wrote them spent a lot of time on them and for that I'm as grateful as the next person, but the overcomplication of the language left this particular ADHD complainer and stickler for simple language to describe simple tasks both confused and anxious. I'm sorry. I don't mean to tear down what seems to be a bastion of a posting upon which this site is built upon (I DID say it had good pictorial sequencing, though), but I cannot sit by and agree with now three people who tell me to read this posting when i've read it and re-read it and still have come out confused.
I really shouldn't post late at night. I only get myself in trouble.
I have not read the other posting you mention. I will do so with relish and promise that I will love it.
