With a whole bunch of new-age innovations, choosing between cannabis products can be overwhelming. There are just too many cannabis options and products – buds, edibles, concentrates, tinctures, and of course, topicals. For many users, smoking or using a dab rig is not an option, and they often cannabis topicals to be better alternatives. THC topicals are known for incredible benefits, and if you are someone who doesn’t want to consume or eat anything, this category can be a good option. In this post, we are discussing all the basics about cannabis topicals.
What exactly are cannabis topicals?
Topicals come in a wide variety of categories – lotion, balm, creams, and even lip balm. In simple words, cannabis topicals are infused with marijuana, intended for external use only. Just like you would use a cream that contains tea tree oil, you can use cannabis topicals that contain cannabinoids like THC and CBD. These can be applied to specific parts of the body, for different benefits, and most cannabis topicals contain either more of THC or CBD, or both.
Knowing cannabis topicals better
If you are fond of smoking or vaping marijuana, you will find cannabis topicals to be entirely different. These are not designed to cause that ‘high’ that people associate with cannabis in general. In other words, if you don’t want the psychoactive effects of cannabis but want the therapeutic benefits, cannabis topicals are just perfect. Many users prefer topicals because they can get direct relief. Many cannabis topicals are specifically used for pain relief or skin issues.
When to consider cannabis topicals?
If you have muscle pain, joint pain, aches in certain parts of the body, cannabis topicals can be useful. These creams and balms can be also considered for treating skin issues such as sunburns, acne, and eczema. The good news is dispensaries can help you select between the products in the market, and we strongly recommend that you check the label for both THC and CBD content. CBD cannabis topicals are more famed for skincare, while THC topicals are desirable for pain relief. Again, every product is different. For summers, go for light lotions, while for winters, creams are more hydrating.
Now that you know the basics of cannabis topicals, find a licensed dispensary near you, check their product range and ask them about the products that may suit your needs. You will be surprised with the benefits.
