One of the most exciting developments in cannabis innovation over the past decade has been the proliferation of cannabis-infused lotions and balms. These products effectively reduce inflammation, soothe eczema, relieve muscle aches, and ease arthritis symptoms.
​When absorbed through the skin, cannabis doesn't enter the bloodstream unless delivered via a transdermal patch (designed with a carrier agent).
CBD, CBG, THC, and THCa applied topically bind to CB2 receptors supporting the peripheral nervous system, causing a near-immediate (5-10 minute) localized reaction at the application site. However, your body won't biologically absorb THC (or other cannabinoids) into the bloodstream to affect the central nervous system.
​
Studies indicate that topical products (non-transdermal) containing THC won't cause positive THC blood test results. Therefore, massaging a CBD lotion, salve, or oil with the legally allowed THC limit into sore muscles shouldn't violate employer drug policies.
​
While many brands rush products to market without fully understanding emulsification or focusing on the overall experience, at OUI, we've curated our favorite lotions and oils. We select products that are not only effective but also crafted by brands committed to delivering the best lotions that feel great, absorb well, and don't overwhelm with a cannabis scent.
