All About THC & CBD Topicals

Cannabis topicals are a unique and innovative product we’ve added to our shelves as they have gained popularity in recent years. Unlike other cannabis products, such as edibles or cannabis flower, cannabis topicals are applied directly to the skin and produce little to no psychoactive effects. Instead, they may offer localized sensations depending on the topical and your own endocannabinoid system.

Cannabis topicals can come in many different forms, such as lotions, balms, salves, creams, and oils. They also have a low barrier to entry, which means just about anyone can purchase and use a cannabis topical because it requires no special equipment or knowledge. You simply slather it on where you want it and go about your day.

Cannabis topicals contain a combination of cannabinoids, including THC, CBD, a combination of both, and sometimes minor cannabinoids too, along with other ingredients like essential oils, herbs, and carrier oils. When applied to the skin, cannabis topicals interact with the body's endocannabinoid system, which is a network of receptors that help your body stay in balance. These receptors also exist in your skin, which is why some cannabis enthusiasts insist their topicals offer some therapeutic value, even if it’s just soothing dry skin. Some of our favorite topicals also contain things like menthol and eucalyptus, which offer a cooling or warming sensation that may help reduce tension.

Of course, there are also people who want the effects of cannabis without the intoxication. Topicals offer that experience. Because your skin is designed to keep things out of your body, THC has a hard time getting to your bloodstream. Without that, topicals cannot give you any psychoactive effects. This is the perfect solution for people who have obligations throughout their day and don’t want to be couch-locked by a strain.

The best place to purchase a topical is at a licensed dispensary like Verilife. We carry high quality marijuana topical salves, lotions, balms, oils and more, so you can enjoy both their unique texture and consistency, as well as their localized effects on your skin.
