What are cannabis topicals? How do cannabis topicals work?

Cannabis topicals are creams, lotions, balms, salves, patches, and oils infused with THC, CBD, or both, applied directly to skin for localized relief. How cannabis topicals work: they interact with cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) in the skin's endocannabinoid system without entering the bloodstream, providing targeted effects at the application site. THC topicals and CBD topicals penetrate skin layers to deliver anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and therapeutic benefits for conditions like arthritis, muscle soreness, joint pain, skin inflammation, and localized discomfort. Unlike ingested or inhaled cannabis, topicals don't produce systemic effects, making them ideal for users seeking pain relief without intoxication.

Do topicals get you high? Can cannabis topicals make you high?

No, topicals do not get you high. Cannabis topicals applied to skin do not produce psychoactive effects because THC and CBD don't enter the bloodstream in significant amounts—they stay localized in skin, muscles, and tissues. Even THC-rich topicals won't cause intoxication because cannabinoids don't reach the brain. The only exception is cannabis transdermal patches designed to deliver cannabinoids through skin into bloodstream—these may produce mild systemic effects. Standard CBD topicals, THC creams, balms, and lotions provide therapeutic benefits (pain relief, inflammation reduction) without any high, making them safe for daytime use, work, or when you need relief without impairment.

How to use cannabis topicals? How long do topicals last?

To use cannabis topicals: (1) Clean and dry the affected area, (2) Apply a generous amount of THC or CBD topical directly to skin, (3) Massage gently until absorbed, (4) Wash hands after application (unless treating hands). Effects begin in 15-30 minutes as cannabinoids penetrate skin layers. How long topicals last: typically 2-4 hours depending on product concentration, application amount, and individual absorption. Reapply as needed—cannabis topicals can be used multiple times daily without tolerance buildup. For best results with topicals: apply to clean skin, use consistently, and allow 30-60 minutes for full effects. Patches last 8-12+ hours for extended relief.

What are cannabis topicals used for? Benefits of THC and CBD topicals?

Cannabis topicals are used for localized pain relief, inflammation reduction, muscle soreness, arthritis, joint pain, neuropathic pain, skin conditions (eczema, psoriasis), post-workout recovery, and targeted therapeutic relief. THC topicals provide stronger analgesic effects for severe pain and deep muscle tension through CB1 receptor activation. CBD topicals offer anti-inflammatory benefits, skin health support, and gentle pain relief without any psychoactivity, ideal for chronic inflammation and skin irritation. Benefits include: targeted relief without body-wide effects, no intoxication, safe for frequent use, fewer side effects than oral medications, and ability to treat specific problem areas. Many athletes and chronic pain sufferers prefer cannabis topicals over systemic treatments.

Do cannabis topicals expire? How to store topicals?

Yes, cannabis topicals expire, typically within 12-24 months depending on ingredients and preservatives. Check expiration dates on packaging. Signs topicals have expired include: separated consistency, changed color, off smell, reduced effectiveness, or mold growth. Store cannabis topicals in cool (below 77°F), dry places away from direct sunlight and heat to preserve cannabinoid potency and prevent ingredient degradation. Refrigeration can extend shelf life for natural formulations. THC topicals and CBD topicals maintain effectiveness longer when stored properly in original containers with tight seals. Natural/organic topicals without synthetic preservatives expire faster (6-12 months) than commercial formulations with stabilizers.

Cannabis topicals provide a discreet, non-intoxicating option for experiencing the therapeutic benefits of cannabis. Whether for pain relief, muscle soreness, or skincare, topicals offer a versatile solution that can be seamlessly incorporated into daily wellness routines.

For adult use only (21+). Keep cannabis away from kids and pets—accidental use can be dangerous. May look like candy. Cannabis can harm brain development in minors. Do not drive or operate machinery while high. Effects may be delayed. Store safely. In case of accidental ingestion, call Poison Control: 1-800-222-1222
