Cannabis Topicals

There are many ways to enjoy the cannabis plant, and topicals are one of the newest. Topical cannabis products are attractive for a variety of reasons. For one thing, they offer a way to localize results for a specific part of your body. They’re also appealing to many people who don’t want to inhale anything or eat cannabis edibles. Next time you’re looking over a dispensary menu in the Denver area, check to see if any of their topicals seem like they’d be a good fit for your lifestyle.

What Are Cannabis Topicals

Simply put, these products can be anything intended for topical applications. That is, instead of eating, smoking, or vaping cannabis topicals, you can put them directly on your body. The cannabinoids penetrate the skin and interact with your endocannabinoid system, which has receptors all over the body. If you apply topicals over a part of your body with lots of blood flow, you may even feel more generalized results as the cannabinoids get introduced to your bloodstream.

Since cannabinoids from topicals behave similarly to the endocannabinoids your body naturally produces, some people believe they could interact with numerous functions and processes. We’ve heard of people buying cannabis topicals for all of the following reasons:

• To receive consistent levels of cannabinoids throughout the day, especially among people who buy cannabis patches.
• Headaches –  Some of our customers rub cannabis topicals on their temples when experiencing severe or chronic headaches.
• Skin Conditions – Topicals like lotion are popular among people with acne, rashes, sunburn, eczema, and similar discomforts.
• General Discomfort – Rubbing cannabis lotion on sore or aching body parts can be pleasant for athletes, the elderly, and anyone in between.

Types of Cannabis Topicals

Here at Pig ‘N’ Whistle, we have a huge selection of topicals to appeal to people with many various lifestyles:

• Creams, Balms, and Lotions – Options include menthol relief creams, cooling balms, and lotion. These are ideal for people who are buying cannabis topicals to apply it specifically to one body part.
• Bath Products – If you think a normal bath is relaxing, you’ll probably love cannabis bath soaks. A nice warm bath will help open your pores and let more of the cannabinoids be absorbed by your skin, muscles, and joints.
• Patches – Just like some other types of patches, cannabis patches are designed to deliver a steady stream of THC. Stick them to your skin, and they can stay there almost all day.

The type of cannabis topical you buy will affect the way you enjoy it. As a general rule, you can use your infused product the same way you’d use its non-infused counterpart. Massage relief cream into your skin, have a warm soak with your bath product or place your transdermal cannabis patch over a part of your skin with lots of veins.

CBD Topicals Vs. THC Topicals

When you look at a dispensary menu, note whether the topicals contain CBD, THC, or both. The cannabinoids will affect your experience, so look for a ratio that appeals to you. If you’re not sure, one of our knowledgeable employees can walk you through the options.
