Topicals are another class of marijuana-infused products. They are generally defined as lotions, salves, or massage oils that have been infused with various cannabinoids. Topicals can be especially effective at treating muscle and joint pain. It’s even possible to treat headaches. There are some challenges for certain skin types and a patient may need to experiment with a number of products before finding a product that works well for them.
The Good
-No intoxicating effects (localized treatment)
-Fast onset (2-3 minutes)
-Discreet
-Easy to transport
-No learning curve
The Bad
-Low bioavailabilty (5% – 10%)
-Expensive
Patients may have to wait some time before these products become available since these products don’t have a wide variety of uses. They can also be tricky to produce in a consistent form.
