I’ve been doing some research in the cannabis plant & odd consumption methods… I am mainly interested in topicals, while I am quite familiar with smoking flower & the convenience of vapes, I had never considered the potential of topicals until recently. While browsing the shelves of our number one dispensary in Portland, I noticed an abundance of cannabis infused lotions, balms, ointments, roll-ons, sprays, transdermal patches & even bath bombs. I l acquired that these products are non-psychoactive, have no dosing limitations & can be applied numerous times per day… The effects of topicals are realized by activating cannabinoid receptors in the skin, providing pain relief, reducing inflammation, promoting healing & treating conditions such as acne, psoriasis & eczema. They can even be beneficial in stress-relief, treatment of insomnia & for arthritis & MS. It’s seriously helpful to be able to treat particular medical conditions internally & well as externally. I often experience inflammation, swelling & pain in our numerous joints.

Topicals are divided into Type I that is THC-dominant, Type II that is a combination of CBD & THC & Type III that is CBD dominant. I’ve experimented with the numerous types of cannabis topicals to find what works best for me. I care about that they constantly absorb abruptly, aren’t greasy & because of being infused with essential oils, tend to smell pleasant, then rather than a medicinal smells, cannabis topicals often smell care about lavender, citrus or eucalyptus.
