Will topicals get me high?

Topicals

“I have celiac disease, and since it’s an autoimmune disease, the body can react in odd ways. I get angry, bumpy, itchy dry skin, with red spots, papillae, and acne.

Twice a year I go on an 8-week course of antibiotics because it will not respond to anything, all proved useless. I avoided heat and cold, sun and wind because my rosacea is so sensitive.

I started using Mend Lotion on my neck for pain and spasticity. I noticed that my skin started clearing up where I used your lotion. I now use stall over my face and my skin is clear and it feels fantastic.”

— Jennifer - CT MMP Patient

One of our favorite topicals is a product made by CTpharma called Mend.

* Topicals can only be purchased at the medical dispensaries in CT.

I have several patient's that keep their medical cards for Mend alone!

Mend Balm is a cooling cannabinoid infused body balm made for topical use. The cool sensation will be refreshing anywhere you need it! Hands, heels, joints, back, etc., this smooth and creamy 1:1 balm will make your skin sing with joy.

Why I recommend topicals:

Topical THC products offer localized relief from pain and inflammation without producing the intoxicating psychoactive effects (a "high") associated with other forms of cannabis consumption. They interact with cannabinoid receptors in the skin and surrounding tissues to provide targeted benefits.

Key benefits of using topical THC products include:

• Localized Pain Relief: Effective for managing specific areas of discomfort, such as muscle soreness, post-workout aches, joint pain (e.g., from arthritis), and certain types of nerve pain (neuropathic pain).
• Reduced Inflammation: THC exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, which can help calm swelling and irritation in the applied area.
• Treatment for Skin Conditions: The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties may help alleviate symptoms of various skin issues, including eczema, psoriasis, acne, and contact dermatitis.
• Faster Onset: Relief from surface-level issues is often felt quickly, typically within 15 to 30 minutes of application.
• Non-Psychoactive: When used as a standard topical cream or balm, THC does not enter the bloodstream in significant quantities, meaning users can benefit from its therapeutic effects while remaining clear-headed and functional.
• Support for Wound Healing: Cannabinoids have shown potential to support the complex process of wound healing by regulating inflammation and promoting skin cell growth and regeneration.
• Moisturization: Many products are formulated with other skin-nourishing ingredients like shea butter and coconut oil, which help moisturize dry or damaged skin
