THC Topicals

When most people think of cannabis, they think of smoking, vaping, or edibles. While these are useful ways of taking in medical cannabis, a third option can be just as beneficial: topical products. Using cannabis topicals can be a convenient way of getting the benefits of THC without the strong psychoactive effects associated with inhaled or edible cannabis.

What Are Cannabis Topicals?

THC creams and other cannabis-infused topicals are designed to be applied to the skin. There are many cannabis-infused lotions, gels and balms on the market today. These products come with the same kind of moisturizing or soothing effects expected of a traditional lotion, along with the beneficial effects of THC and CBD.

However, because the THC in a cannabis topical doesn’t usually penetrate the skin deeply enough to make it into the bloodstream, you don’t have to worry about becoming intoxicated if you use a THC cream. There are some exceptions to this, so it’s a good idea to ask our knowledgeable staff at Canuvo to find exactly what you need. We’ll be happy to explain how each topical works in greater detail.

Benefits of Using Cannabis in Topical Form

At Canuvo, we carry a variety of topical cannabis products designed for people with different needs and tastes. These products offer several benefits over other THC-containing options:

  • No psychoactive effects: As was previously mentioned, most topicals don’t penetrate the bloodstream, meaning they don’t get you high.
  • Targeted application: Simply rub the cream into the affected area for targeted relief.
  • Fast-acting: Cannabis creams can be applied directly to the affected area and are absorbed into the skin quickly, where they can act on the endocannabinoid receptors, producing instant effects. 
  • No need to inhale cannabis: Some individuals dislike inhaling cannabis products or can’t do so because it aggravates respiratory issues. Topical products deliver cannabinoids without the need for inhalation.
  • Fits with your daily routine: If you can’t smoke or vape at work, edibles and topical products provide a suitable alternative for discreetly taking in a dose of THC when required.
  • CBD and THC options available: We offer THC-containing and CBD-only options for many products, so if you’re unable to tolerate THC or simply don’t want to use products that contain it, you still have options available to you.

At Canuvo, we stock various high-quality topical cannabis products, including massage oils, creams, soaps, and therapeutic transdermal patches. Whether you’re looking for something to provide long-lasting relief from chronic pain or a product that can help you relax and unwind, we have something for you.

Our products are made with the highest-quality cannabis flowers and can double as a cosmetic in some cases. Soothing, moisturizing creams, and scented soaps offer a more enjoyable way for people who rely on cannabis for pain relief or to help with skin issues to get the dose they need.
