Whenever the discussion about cannabis happens, usually it’s about flower, pre-rolls, or edibles. However, one form that is just as effective and popular is topicals. Cannabis topicals are a useful way to apply cannabis and aren’t as known as they should be. Plenty of Alaskans are aficionados of cannabis and want any way to enjoy it.
What are Cannabis Topicals?
A cannabis topical is any cannabis-infused lotion, balm, salves, oils, or even bath bombs that are applied to the skin in order to feel relaxed and relieved after a long day of enjoying the glaciers and fish-abundant rivers of the Mat Su Valley. Cannabis topicals aren’t psychoactive in nature, so there is no head high or euphoria to worry about. Cannabis topicals skip going through the bloodstream or liver, working subepidermal to create a calming and soothing effect on the body. Plenty of relaxation to enjoy the views of Wasilla or Palmer. Not everyone wants a cerebral voyage across the plains of other dimensions and that is why cannabis topicals are a wonderful alternative for the mellow types.
How Do Cannabis Topicals or Topical Marijuana Work?
Fantastic question. Unlike flower or concentrates, cannabis topicals with THC won’t give you an intense high. Weed topicals are rubbed onto the source of whatever area of the body needs the most soothing, and it then is absorbed through the skin into the subepidermal layers to induce a pleasant relief. While smoking cannabis has nearly an immediate effect and edibles take a long time to activate, topicals are a nice middle road that doesn’t take too long to interact with your body. The skin’s cannabinoid receptors latch onto the THC and terpenes, interacting with the chemicals and causing the soothing feeling you need to carry on your day. Cannabis topicals overall are a fantastic choice for non-smokers and people who don’t want to be too high but still want to lay back.
