Sweet Releaf (https://www.getsweetreleaf.com) makes a fantastic topical that can be applied to your leg and hip area. You just apply the cream to the affected area and the topical works quickly to begin reducing your pain and inflammation. I am still astounded by how well and how quickly topicals work.\n\nryan","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7074-markdown","title":"Love your Sweet ReLeaf !","slug":"love-your-sweet-releaf","content":"\"I recommend it to massage clients with chronic pain issues -however a couple of them felt certain that they were \"stoned\"  after using  topicals.

Patches are probably not in the picture and there seem to be a number of body oils on the market already. Please continue to monitor our website as we'll announce any new offerings there as we move into the New Year!

However, I believe I have had a reaction to the essentials oils used in the scented product.  I will continue to purchase the unscented regular strength, but was hoping for an unscented extra strength product.   Thanks so much for the Sweet Releaf topical creams.  It is an awesome product.  \"\n_____________________\nThank you for asking this question. You are not the first to ask about an unscented extra strength, so we are making note of the interest and will very likely create an unscented extra strength by the first of the New Year. I realize you want the additional strength to address a much deeper pain issue and if you are sensitive to essential oils, you should probably avoid products that contain them. Please check out our website in January for an updated list of available types/sizes of Sweet Releaf.\n\ndidi","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7061-markdown","title":"Will I get high if I use a topical?","slug":"will-i-get-high-if-i-use-a-topical","content":"\"I would like to use this during the day and need to be able to function at work.\"\n_____________________\nA cannabis topical cream/salve does not enter the blood stream as long as you do not touch your eyes, mouth or take a hot steam bath after applying.  Cannabis patches are applied topically, but DO enter the blood stream; therefore, there is a potential for being \"high\" with patches.\n\ndrb\n_____________________\nNo. Absorbed through the skin, Cannabis-infused topicals do not produce the high associated with smoking, vaping or ingesting Cannabis. They also don't show up as positive in urine or blood tests. Non-activated (unheated or cured) Cannabinoids like THCA and CBDA (the acidic precursors to THC and CBD) are non-psychoactive and contain many of the anti-inflammatory and neuro-protective properies needed for relief and healing.\n\nUsed by atheletes and the elderly alike, Xternal topicals are formulated to produce a high local concentration of Cannabinoids for targeted relief. They work naturally to relieve discomfort and pain. Apply where it hurts and rub it in! Results usually occur within minutes. \n\nXternal topicals offer 9 ways to heal: Balm, Spray, Cream, Mud, Soak, Roll-On, Body Wash, Massage Oil and Lip Balm. \n\nHope this helps.

It can also be used in addition to smoking or edibles without increasing the high, just giving additional relief to specific locations.\n\njessies","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7059-markdown","title":"Who is a topical for?","slug":"who-is-a-topical-for","content":"\"Can you use this for a variety of conditions?\"\n_____________________\nHonestly, just about anyone who has a painful either in their body (muscles, joints, feet, etc) or on their skin could benefit from trying a topical!  Most folks apply it directly where it hurts and I recommend also applying at the source of the pain - so for instance, you may have a sore arm that originates in a pinched nerve in the neck. I would apply Sweet Releaf to both the arm and the spot in the neck where pain originates. For skin conditions, even mosquito bites!, apply directly to the spot & repeat as necessary on a daily basis for a few days to realize the full effect it can deliver.\n\ndidi","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7058-markdown","title":"What should I look for in a topical when purchasing one?","slug":"what-should-i-look-for-in-a-topical-when-purchasing-one","content":"\n_____________________\nThere are a lot of factors to consider:\n1) the concentration of THC and CBD as well as its ration\n2) the smell- is it stinky or soothing to your senses?\n3) does it absorb well into your skin? the topical's consistency is a big one\n4) does it provide relief? sometimes you just have to try products until you find your favorite.\n\nella","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7042-markdown","title":"Are marijuana transdermal patches more effective for pain than topical marijuana creams? ","slug":"are-marijuana-transdermal-patches-more-effective-for-pain-than-topical-marijuana-creams","content":"\n_____________________\nI would try both, depending on the area that needs relief from pain. Transdermal patches are designed to deliver compounds to the bloodstream, which will contribute to a more widespread (whole-body/systemic) effect. Topical creams, ointments, rubs, and sprays are aimed towards more localized pain relief. It is difficult to apply a transdermal patch to the knuckles or fingers, while a cream would be much more appropriate. For hip, back, shoulder or leg pain, a transdermal patch might be better, and the effects would last for many hours and would also spread out from the site of the patch.\n\nandrewvanmd","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7033-markdown","title":"How long does a topical last? How should I store it?","slug":"how-long-does-a-topical-last-how-should-i-store-it","content":"\n_____________________\nI think you want to know how long a topical product will retain its medical effectiveness, correct? In the case of Sweet ReLeaf, it is effective for a year from date of manufacture (usually within a month or so of when you buy it at a dispensary) although we've found it to work well past that! Store it in a cool place or if temps vary in your home, you could leave it in the frig on hot days.\n\nIf you are asking how long does a topical last when applied, that would depend on what you were treating and how deep the pain associated with the condition might be. Generally, for most mild to moderate pain, our original strength version can last for hours it not the whole day. For deeper, more chronic pain, using the original strength may only relieve it for an hour or two. That's why we recommend the extra strength product which delivers alot more medicine to the area and seems to last a much longer time.\n\ndidi","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6760-markdown","title":"what is the strongest cannabis balm or cream for topical usage for pain that you carry?

Two of my favorites when I want a strong topical are Om Edibles body oil and Sweet Releaf balm, which comes in extra strength. The oil is easy to spread over a large area of the body (such as your entire back) and you can try the balm for targeted spots.\n\namanda\n_____________________\nHi there, I am a formulator and white label manufacturer for many brands and dispensaries. You can get my Blue Dream 300 mg THC 10 mg CBD pain cream made with Blue Dream strain at Haze dispensary in San Jose. You can also get a Leaf Lab 300 mg pain hybrid cream at Leaf Lab in San Jose.  Both come in a 2 oz bottle.  If you follow my profile or stay in touch with me I can always recommend.  If you are unable to go to San Jose, please request your local dispensary to get in touch with me and I'll produce a line for them (and you)! :)\n\ncheridevine","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6751-markdown","title":"I have RA and started usin topicals for the first time.

Many patients have reported using our Balance CBD vaporizer for rheumatoid arthritis.  One wrote this in her blog:\n\nI was told over a decade ago that both of my knees and both of my elbows had sustained such severe damage from rheumatoid arthritis that I already needed all four major joints replaced. Needless to say, I had little faith in the claims made on their lovely packaging to take the edge off of the kind of pain that I experience every day.\nThe combination of frankincense, ylang ylang, geranium, and tangerine offer a delicious overtone of calming effects. Did I feel pain relief, though? I can joyfully confirm that- YES- the CBD Balance holds potent enough CBD isolate to take the edge off of pain from inflammation from many sources!'\nOur BALANCE can be purchased at EvoxeLabs.com/Balance\n\nmichaelkatz\n_____________________\nYou are on the right track, starting with topicals. Indica varieties are good for treating pain. You have to start low and slow with Indica's if you are new to vaping or smoking. I would recommend vaping at night at first, you will sleep like a baby. Then you will get a feel for how much to consume throughout the day. CBD vapes are good for inflammation and won't give you the psychoactive effects that THC induces. We have a CBD vape right now called \"Cashey's Honey\" It is a 1:1 ratio, meaning 1/2 CBD, 1/2 THC. I personally vape this strain throughout the day, and it helps me tremendously.\n\namberleewvapes","image":null}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":60,"numPages":9,"currentPage":6,"id":5846,"name":"Topical","slug":"topical","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
