If you’ve ever wondered whether cannabis-infused creams and balms will get you high, you’re not alone. At Tropicanna, this is one of the most common questions we hear from customers interested in cannabis topicals.
The short answer? No, topicals won’t get you high.
Let’s break down what cannabis topicals are, how they work, and why they’ve become a go-to for many customers looking for targeted relief especially older adults and those new to cannabis.
What Are Cannabis Topicals?
Cannabis topicals are lotions, balms, salves, and oils that are infused with cannabinoids like THC and CBD. They’re made to be applied directly to the skin for localized effects.
Unlike other cannabis products, topicals don’t enter the bloodstream in a way that causes psychoactive effects. That means you can use them for relief without experiencing a high.
How Do They Work?
Your skin has a network of cannabinoid receptors, part of your body’s natural endocannabinoid system. When applied to the surface of the skin, THC and CBD in topicals interact with these receptors to provide localized support like easing soreness or reducing discomfort.
Because topicals don’t penetrate deeply into the bloodstream, the effect stays where you apply it.
What Topicals Does Tropicanna Carry?
At Tropicanna, we stock trusted, high-quality topical brands known for their effectiveness and clean ingredients:
– Papa & Barkley – Known for their Releaf Balm and Releaf Body Oil, combining full-spectrum THC with soothing essential oils.
– Mary’s Medicinals – A science-driven brand offering transdermal options and balms with THC and CBD blends.
– Liquid Flower – Handcrafted with plant-based ingredients and cannabis extracts, ideal for sensitive skin and targeted relief.
Each of these products offers a slightly different formulation, but all are THC-rich and non-psychoactive when used topically.
Will I Feel Anything Mentally?
No. Cannabis topicals don’t get you high.
Unlike smoking, vaping, or eating edibles, topicals are non-intoxicating. They’re formulated for external use only, and the effects are felt in the skin and muscles, not in your head.
This makes them a safe option for those who are cannabis-curious but cautious, or for people who want relief without altering their mental clarity.
Who Uses Cannabis Topicals?
We see a wide range of customers turning to cannabis topicals, but the most common include:
– Adults dealing with joint stiffness or discomfort
– Fitness enthusiasts recovering from muscle soreness
– New cannabis users who want non-intoxicating options
– Anyone looking for localized relief without a body-wide effect
How to Shop for Topicals
When choosing a topical, consider:
– THC and CBD ratio: Some products are higher in CBD for relaxation, others have more THC for stronger effects.
– Form factor: Balms tend to stay on the surface, while oils and creams may absorb more deeply.
– Scent and ingredients: Many include essential oils or herbs like lavender, eucalyptus, or arnica.
