Shop THC & CBD Topicals
THC and CBD topicals are cannabis-infused products that you apply topically, which means directly on your skin. These products come in many forms, from lotions and creams to transdermal patches and lubricants. Topicals are perfect if you want to experience the potential therapeutic benefits of cannabis without any psychoactive effects. At Verilife’s dispensaries, we offer a wide variety of CBD topicals and THC topicals that are high-quality, lab-tested, and created to meet your needs.
Topical Types Available to Purchase
Cannabis topicals, including those infused with THC or CBD, deliver the potential benefits of the cannabinoids through the skin. The psychoactive THC does not enter the bloodstream, so it won’t cause you to experience a “high.” Instead, the topical interacts with your skin’s cannabinoid receptors to possibly give you relief from joint pain, muscle soreness, and inflammation.
When you shop for cannabis topicals, you’ll come across several different types, each designed to serve a specific purpose. Here are the most popular topical CBD and THC products that you’ll find at Verilife dispensaries:
Lotions: These are the most common form of cannabis topicals and are typically used to hydrate the skin while possibly delivering targeted relief to sore muscles or joints. Lotions can be infused with either CBD or THC, or both. You can use CBD or THC lotions daily, and they’re available in a variety of scents and formulations.
Creams: Similar to lotions but usually thicker, a THC or CBD topical cream provides more intense hydration while also possibly providing therapeutic relief. Whether you’re treating dry skin or sore muscles, cannabis-infused creams are a fantastic option.
Transdermal patches: Patches are unique because they offer long-lasting relief through slow release. They deliver topical THC or CBD directly into your bloodstream, allowing for a more consistent effect over time. While CBD topicals won’t cause psychoactive effects, some THC patches may because they can cross the skin barrier and enter the bloodstream.
Lubricants: Cannabis-infused lubricants are another type of topical available at Verilife. These products are used to enhance intimacy by possibly increasing relaxation and sensitivity. CBD lubricants tend to be the most popular for this purpose, but THC lubricants are also available if you’re looking for something more intense.
The prices for all of these CBD and THC topicals depend on the brand, quantity, and concentration.
Understanding THC vs CBD Topicals
One of the most important things to know when choosing between THC topicals and CBD topicals is the difference in effects:
CBD topicals: CBD-infused topicals do not produce any psychoactive effects. This makes them ideal if you are looking for hydration and relief without a “high.” They could help with skin conditions, joint pain, and muscle soreness.
THC topicals: Most THC topicals do not produce psychoactive effects when applied to the skin because THC generally doesn’t penetrate the skin barrier. However, THC transdermal patches might deliver cannabinoids into the bloodstream, potentially causing psychoactive effects based on dosage and individual tolerance. Similarly, using THC lubricants on sensitive areas like the penis, vagina, or rectum may allow THC to enter the bloodstream, as the skin in these areas is thinner.
So, it’s important to understand the effects of topical CBD vs topical THC to help you make an informed decision about which product best suits your needs. It’s best to talk to a Verilife budtender to find the perfect topical for your budget and needs.
Buying THC and CBD Topicals at a Dispensary
It can be a unique experience when you shop for cannabis topicals. Whether it’s your first time or you’re a seasoned consumer, Verilife is dedicated to making the process simple and enjoyable.
Our dispensaries have a wide selection of topical CBD and topical THC products, so you can find the perfect product for your skin type and preferences. Our budtenders are always available to help you with personalized recommendations and walk you through any questions you may have about the product. Here’s a breakdown of what happens during a visit to a dispensary:
Choosing a Store Location
Before you buy cannabis-infused topicals, you must check that you’re in a state that allows recreational cannabis purchases or you should have a valid medical marijuana card.
Next, choose a Verilife dispensary location that’s near since you need to pick up your purchase in-store. Unfortunately, delivery is prohibited in most states.
Selecting Products
At Verilife, you can either browse our inventory of cannabis topicals and other products online, or you can visit the dispensary in person.
Ordering Options
At Verilife, you have two convenient ways to buy CBD and THC topicals. You can place your order online and pick it up at the store, or you can head directly to the dispensary to buy your favorite cannabis tinctures. Ordering online allows you to reserve your favorite tinctures ahead of time, ensuring they are available. However, when you shop in person, you can take your time browsing and receive instant advice from one of our friendly budtenders.
Either option provides a seamless experience, but your choice depends on your personal preference and schedule.
Payment Options Available
All Verilife dispensaries offer multiple payment methods to make your shopping experience as convenient as possible. You can pay using your debit card through a secure payment system or with cash. If you prefer to use cash and forget to bring it with you, you can use the on-site ATM available at our dispensaries. Unfortunately, because of federal regulations, we can’t accept credit cards.
THC & CBD Topicals FAQs
There’s a lot to discover when it comes to cannabis topicals. Below, we’ve answered some of the most frequently asked questions about CBD and THC topicals, but if you have more, please ask a Verilife budtender the next time you visit one of our dispensaries.
How can I determine the potency or strength of a particular THC or CBD topical?
The potency of THC and CBD topicals is indicated on the product label. You’ll find the total active cannabinoids (TAC), such as the THC and CBD, per container, as well as the dosage per application (e.g. per pump of lotion or patch). Be sure to check the label on your chosen product and consult with a Verilife budtender to help you choose a topical product that’s best for you.
Do THC topicals get you high?
In most cases, THC topicals don’t have psychoactive effects because they don’t penetrate the skin deep enough to reach your bloodstream. However, THC transdermal patches and lubricants may deliver THC into your bloodstream, potentially causing psychoactive effects depending on the dosage and your tolerance. Always check the product label and ask a budtender if you’re unsure.
What are the recommended application methods for topicals?
Topical CBD or THC lotions and creams should be applied directly to clean, dry skin. Use a small amount and massage it into the affected area until it’s fully absorbed. Place a THC or CBD patch on venous areas, such as behind your knees, inner wrist, or collarbone region, for maximum absorption. Reapply the cannabis topical as directed on the label.
How do the effects and duration of THC and CBD topicals compare to other cannabis products?
Topicals generally offer localized relief without the psychoactive effects. They are ideal for treating skin conditions or managing discomfort in a specific area. The effects of CBD or THC topicals can last anywhere from a few hours to an entire day, depending on the product and dosage. Unlike edibles or vapes, the effects are confined to where you apply the cannabis topical.
Can topicals be used in combination with other cannabis products for enhanced effects?
You can combine CBD and THC topicals with other cannabis products like edibles or flower for a more holistic effect. For example, you can use a CBD topical cream for targeted relief and a THC edible for more comprehensive effects. However, it’s best to talk with your favorite budtender for specific advice.
