There are so many different ways in which you can use medical marijuana. The cannabis industry has really come a long way and now there are so many more new consumption methods that you can try.
In this article, we will talk about what topicals are, what benefits they have and how you can get them in Louisiana!
What are Topicals and What are their Benefits?
Topicals are cannabis-infused lotions or oils that can be lathered onto the skin and absorbed into the body. While lotions, creams, and oils are the most common, topicals can also come in a balm, patch and much more!
There are so many benefits that come along with using topicals. One of the most important is that with topicals you can pinpoint your treatment easily. Imagine you are experiencing chronic pain in your back, knee or elbow. With topicals you can localize your treatment by smearing the ointment on the specific region that is causing you pain.
Topicals also have no psychoactive effect either! This means that if you are looking to avoid the typical “high” that comes with marijuana use, topicals are the way to go. This is because topicals don’t enter your bloodstream.
Another added bonus to using topicals is that they are good for you if you are looking for a more medical consumption method. Some methods of ingesting marijuana can feel a little more recreational to some. This can make using marijuana for medical purposes uncomfortable. With topicals you don’t have to worry about ingesting cannabis at all!
There are a few specific strains and cannabinoids that you can keep an eye out for if you are looking to take a trip to your local dispensary soon to buy some topicals. Look for strains like Blueberry, Blackberry Kush and Permafrost or use cannabinoids such as THC, CBD or THCA.
There are also many topicals that come with essential oils too! Look for oils with clove, cayenne or wintergreen if you are wanting a bit more relief.
