Curious about cannabis but not interested in getting high? Meet topicals. Your go-to for targeted relief without the psychoactive effects. From lotions to roll-ons, cannabis-infused topicals offer localized support for pain, inflammation and skin conditions.
What Are Cannabis Topicals?
Topicals are cannabis-infused products designed to be applied and absorbed directly to the skin. Common types of topicals include creams, balms, salves, oils, lotions, roll-ons, patches and bath salts. Many also feature additional ingredients, such as menthol or essential oils, for an added therapeutic boost.
Creams + Lotions
These lightweight, fast-absorbing products are great for everyday use and general aches. Think post-gym soreness and mild arthritis.
Why It’s Great:
- Easy to apply and absorbs quickly
- Light texture, great for large areas like shoulders or back
- Often includes skin-soothing ingredients
Investment Level:
Low
How It’s Used:
Apply directly to the area of discomfort. Use consistently for best results.

Investment Level:

Roll-Ons
Roll-ons offer mess-free, on-the-go relief with precision. Perfect for targeted application on sore necks, shoulders or temples.
Why It’s Great:

- No need to wash hands after applying
Investment Level:
Low to Medium

Bath Soaks + Oils
Transform your tub into a therapeutic experience. These products combine cannabis with soothing ingredients like Epsom salts, lavender or chamomile for full-body relaxation.
Why It’s Great:

- Helps with inflammation, sleep and stress
- Luxurious and spa-like
Investment Level:
Medium
How It’s Used:
Pour directly into warm water. Soak for 20–30 minutes and allow the cannabinoids to absorb through the skin.
Transdermal Patches
Unlike other topicals, transdermal patches deliver cannabinoids through the skin and into the bloodstream, meaning they can produce mild psychoactive effects, especially if they contain THC.
Why It’s Great:
- Long-lasting effects
- Great for chronic pain or sleep support
- Discreet and easy to wear
- Mess-free
Investment Level:
Medium
How It’s Used:
Apply the patch to a clean, dry, venous area (like your wrist or ankle).
