Top 7 Cannabis Topicals Across the United States

As we age, life can be full of aches and pains. The most common is lower back pain, but you may ache after a workout, suffer from arthritis, or you may feel pain associated from everyday wear and tear. Many people choose to take over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen, but there are some unwanted side effects if you take too much or consume too often.

Topical marijuana is another, more natural solution for your aches and pains. Weed-infused topicals come in body oils, creams, and salves, and can be applied directly to an area of pain.

A transdermal patch is another topical method to consider. A patch is typically placed on the arm, wrist, or thigh and administers marijuana into the bloodstream. So, if the patch has a significant dose of THC, you may feel slightly altered.

Cannabis creams and balms are absorbed through the skin and binding to the CB1 and CB2 receptors at the localized area of pain. THC and cannabidiol CBD, are cannabinoids within topicals that have an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect on the body.

In addition to the cannabinoids, weed creams may contain other ingredients and essential oils that can help with pain relief, such as eucalyptus, camphor, menthol, cayenne, clove, and wintergreen.

Benefits of Marijuana-Infused Topicals

Topicals can be used to help for:

  • Inflammation
  • Chronic pain
  • Arthritis
  • Menstrual cramps
  • Sore muscles
  • Better sleep
  • Skin conditions

While topicals can provide localized pain relief, they work best if they are a part of a broader self-care routine, which could include stretching, massage, brisk activity (like a walk), and meditation or mindfulness.
