There are many different ways in which you can use medical cannabis. The marijuana industry as a whole has come a long way and with that comes new consumption methods that you can try.
In this blog, we will be getting into detail on what topicals are, how they are beneficial and how you can get them in West Virginia!
What are the Benefits of Topicals?
First, let’s go over what topicals are! Topicals are marijuana-infused lotions or creams that can be put on the skin and absorbed into the body. Topicals are most commonly in lotion and cream form but they can also come in balms, oils or even patches!
There are many benefits that come with using topicals as your method of choice. First, topicals can help you pinpoint your treatment. If you have experienced chronic pain in a specific area, you can localize your treatment by smearing your topical onto the exact region that is giving you pain.
A great thing about topicals is that there are no psychoactive effects when using them! In other words, you won’t experience the “high” that comes with using marijuana with THC. Topicals soak into the skin but not into the bloodstream so you get all the pain relief you need in the region you want without the psychoactive effects.
Topicals are also a good method if you are someone who is looking for a more medical way using marijuana. Sometimes smoking or eating an edible can feel more recreational to some. Topicals are a great way around these issues since you won’t have to worry about ingesting any cannabis at all!
Next time you are headed to your local dispensary to buy topicals, keep in mind some specific strains and cannabinoids to look for! Look for strains like Blueberry, Blackberry Kush and Permafrost or use cannabinoids such as THC, CBD or THCA.
Oftentimes there are essential oils in the topicals too! If you are wanting some extra pain relief look for clove, wintergreen or cayenne oils.
