Topicals: Targeted Cannabis Relief Without the High
Cannabis topicals offer localized relief without psychoactive effects, making them an excellent option for those seeking comfort without feeling “high.” Whether you’re new to cannabis or exploring new ways to use it, understanding how to use cannabis topicals can help you incorporate them into your wellness routine with confidence.
At Massachusetts Green Retail, we offer a curated selection of balms, creams, lotions, roll-ons, and patches—each designed to support relief and recovery.
Do Cannabis Topicals Work?
A common question we hear is, do cannabis topicals work? Yes—they work by interacting with cannabinoid receptors in the skin and underlying tissue. Most topicals do not enter the bloodstream, which means they won’t produce a psychoactive effect, even if they contain THC.
Cannabis topicals are often used to help manage:
Muscle soreness
Joint pain
Inflammation
Skin irritation
Post-workout recovery
CBD-infused topicals are especially popular for their anti-inflammatory and soothing properties.
How to Use Cannabis Topicals
If you’re wondering how to use cannabis topicals, the process is simple and effective:
Clean the area where you plan to apply the product.
Apply a generous amount of the topical to the skin.
Massage gently until fully absorbed.
Repeat as needed, typically every few hours.
Effects are usually felt within minutes and can last several hours, depending on the product and application area.
Best Way to Apply Cannabis Topicals
The best way to apply cannabis topicals depends on your needs and the product type. For example:
Lotions and creams work well for broad application across larger muscle groups.
Balms and salves are ideal for deep tissue relief in smaller areas.
Roll-ons and patches offer easy, mess-free application and prolonged release.
Be sure to check the product label for THC and CBD content, as different ratios can affect the experience and effectiveness.
