Cannabis topicals are ideal for treating muscle or nerve pain, arthritis, inflammation, and skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. Excellent results have also been noted for menstrual cramps, headaches, and migraines, although scientific validation for treating these issues through the use of topicals has not yet been confirmed. Probably the most common FAQ about cannabis topicals is whether t
opicals can get you high. While vaping, smoking and edibles are all known for supplying a potent buzz after consumption, sometimes a topical will provide relief you couldn’t otherwise get. If you are looking for the body or head buzz you get from THC, then topicals aren’t the cannabis products you are looking for. However, if you want almost immediate relief from pain, topicals will be your best bet. Will You Fail a Drug Test for Using Cannabis Topicals? Next to wondering if cannabis topicals will allow you to catch a buzz, the next most commonly asked question about cannabis topicals is whether they will cause you to fail a drug test. In most cases, cannabis topicals don’t have enough THC in them for it to reach your blood stream through your skin – meaning you won’t likely fail a drug test from using a cannabis cream, lotion or salve. However, transdermal patches are the exception – while they are applied topically, they are meant to cross into the bloodstream and often results in a positive drug test.
