We all know cannabis gets you high, but did you also know that it has a host of other benefits as well? And one of those benefits is the treatment of pain and/or inflammation on different parts of the skin and body. Marijuana-infused topicals, as they’re called, come in the form of lotions, balms, and even soaks. Some topicals reduce scarring and some even help with psoriasis and/or eczema. And since they’re applied topically onto the skin, the cannabinoids don’t enter the bloodstream and are therefore void of any psychoactive effects. We know, a bummer for some, but hey, that’s what smoking, vaping, and edibles are for.
The topicals featured above are from a well-known company called Dixie Elixirs and are specially formulated to help with post-workout muscle pain and inflammation. A great alternative to some of the typical OTC pain relief lotions and creams available at your local drugstore, these topicals offer a more natural and, arguably healthier, approach to everyday muscle and joint pain relief. And they have the added benefit of being made with cannabis, man. Ain’t that a trip.
