Ohio Topical THC: Getting Started

Cannabis topicals are products designed to be applied directly to the skin, offering localized relief without the psychoactive effects. They come in various forms, such as creams, lotions, balms, and salves, providing a range of options for different needs and preferences.

What Are THC Topicals?

THC topicals are cannabis-infused products designed to be applied directly to the skin for localized relief. They come in various forms, such as creams, lotions, balms, and salves.

How They Work

THC topicals bind to cannabinoid receptors located in the skin’s layers, offering localized relief without entering the bloodstream or causing any psychoactive effects. This allows for effective, targeted relief for conditions like pain, inflammation, and skin irritation, all without the typical "high" associated with THC consumption.

Uses and Benefits

THC topicals are commonly used for pain relief, inflammation reduction, and skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. They can also provide relief from muscle soreness and joint pain. Brands like Standard Wellness and Firelands Scientific offer topicals specifically formulated for these therapeutic purposes.

Topical THC FAQ


What are topical THC side effects?


Topical THC side effects are generally minimal and may include skin irritation or allergic reactions. Because topicals are designed to interact with cannabinoid receptors in the skin without entering the bloodstream, systemic side effects are rare.


Does topical THC show on a drug screen?


No, topical THC typically does not show up on a drug screen because it is not significantly absorbed into the bloodstream. However, transdermal patches are specifically formulated to deliver THC through the skin and into the bloodstream, which could affect drug test results.


Does topical THC get you high?


No, topical THC does not get you high. It works locally on the skin, interacting with cannabinoid receptors without entering the bloodstream, thus avoiding any psychoactive effects.
