Cannabis Topicals: Relief Without the High
Cannabis doesn’t always have to be smoked, vaped, or eaten. Topical cannabis products—like creams, balms, and roll-ons—offer targeted relief for pain, inflammation, and skin conditions without affecting your mind. That means no high, just healing.
How Do Topicals Work?
Topicals work by interacting with cannabinoid receptors in the skin. These receptors are part of your endocannabinoid system (ECS), which helps regulate pain, inflammation, and skin health.
Since topicals don’t enter the bloodstream, they won’t produce psychoactive effects, even if they contain THC. This makes them a great option for those seeking relief without any mental buzz.
What Are They Good For?
Cannabis topicals are commonly used for:
- Joint and muscle pain
- Arthritis and inflammation
- Menstrual cramps
- Eczema, psoriasis, and dry skin
- Post-workout soreness
Some products include menthol, camphor, or essential oils for an added cooling or warming effect.
Types of Topicals
- Balms & Salves – Thick and rich, great for deep tissue areas
- Lotions & Creams – Absorb quickly, ideal for daily use
- Transdermal Patches – Slow-release for all-day relief (some may enter the bloodstream)
- Massage Oils – Perfect for full-body application and relaxation
Look for products with CBD, THC, or both, depending on your needs. CBD is anti-inflammatory, while THC may help relieve stubborn pain when applied topically.
