About Topicals.
Topicals deliver cannabinoids to specific body areas without crossing into the bloodstream, meaning no high, no impairment, no driving concern. Standard topicals (balms, lotions, salves) act locally on muscle and joint pain. Transdermal patches penetrate skin into bloodstream and DO produce systemic effect, read labels carefully. Most of our topicals lean toward 1:1 CBD:THC or higher-CBD ratios for anti-inflammatory action.
How to buy
- Standard topicals (balms/lotions) = local effect, no high.
- Transdermal patches = systemic effect, real psychoactivity.
- Apply to clean, dry skin; reapply every 4–6 hours as needed.
- Look for high-CBD or 1:1 ratios for inflammation; high-THC for sharper localized relief.
