As your trusted source for cannabis education at Blended Buds Cannabis, we’re here to tackle one of the most persistent myths in the industry: the misconception about cannabis topicals and their effects.
The Big Myth: Cannabis Topicals Will Get You High
One of the most common concerns we hear from customers at our Vernon and Coldstream locations is that using cannabis-infused topicals will cause psychoactive effects. Let’s clear the air on this one!
Here’s what you need to know:
• Cannabis topicals work locally on the area where they’re applied
• THC in topicals doesn’t enter the bloodstream
• You can use them and still pass a drug test
• They’re perfect for targeted relief
How Topicals Actually Work
When you apply a cannabis-infused cream, balm, or lotion, the active compounds interact with cannabinoid receptors in your skin. They don’t penetrate deep enough to reach your bloodstream, which means:
• No psychoactive effects
• No feeling of being “high”
• Localized benefits only
• Safe for daily use
The Science Behind It
The skin’s natural barrier prevents the THC in topicals from entering your circulatory system. This makes them an excellent option for people who want the potential therapeutic benefits of cannabis without any mind-altering effects.
Whether you’re shopping in Vernon, Coldstream, or Spallumcheen, our knowledgeable staff can help you understand how these products work and find the right option for your needs.
Remember, education is key to responsible cannabis use, and we’re here to help separate fact from fiction in the growing cannabis industry.
