Appreciating benefits of cannabis topicals

While I’ve been a cannabis devotee for many years, I only just recently became acquainted with topicals.

Cannabis-infused topicals are available in many forms.

My local dispensary offers a wide selection of creams, lotions, balms, sprays, roll-ons, soaking salts and massage oils. Most incorporate essential oils such as lavender and eucalyptus that provide curative benefits and a pleasant smell. I suffer from issues with leg cramps, psoriasis and arthritis in my fingers. I frequently deal with various muscle aches, headaches and insomnia. I’ve found that cannabis-infused topicals are helpful in treating all of these health concerns. I apply the salve or ointment directly to the affected area for localized relief. The cannabinoids, such as THC and CBD, interact with receptors in the skin that send signals to the body’s endocannabinoid system. They work to lessen pain and inflammation and can even be beneficial as a remedy for burns, cuts, acne and bee stings. Because the cannabinoids do not enter the bloodstream, there are no psychoactive effects. I can apply a topical multiple times per day without affecting my focus or productivity. There are no dosage restrictions. The topicals rub in very quickly, leaving no residue behind. I especially enjoy adding soaking salts to a hot bath and relaxing. The hot water helps to open the pores, which allows the cannabinoids to penetrate more quickly and effectively. Even the aroma is helpful for melting away stress. I have far less aches and pains. My skin feels soft, and I sleep better. I am thrilled that cannabis-infused topicals are not available for any local resident who is over 21 years of age.

This past few weeks has been tough

Wow, all you have to do is turn on the news these days and you are bombarded by the negative comments with regards to vaping and CBD oils. I can totally understand this because there have been some very serious illnesses and even deaths caused by some of the black market items that are out there. The problem comes when people like myself, who owned a CBD dispensary are hurt by this type of news. The CBD oils that I carry are both legal and highly monitored for quality yet people feel that I am selling the same dangerous things that they are hearing about on the news. Actually, I don’t even sell the products that they are talking about and yet it is hurting my business on a daily basis. CBD oil can be used in so many different forms that there is really little need before using it in a vape pen. Many of my customers have called two make sure that the products I sell are safe and I always assure them that they are the highest quality that I can provide. I always make sure to purchase and sell products that are made at certified CBD manufacturers here within the United States and that the farms that grow the hemp plants are monitored and well-maintained as well. These farms are certified as pesticide-free and the government even monitors this aspect of the growing process. I feel for the people who have been hurt by these faulty products and hope that a solution is found quickly because the current news is hurting many shopkeepers such as myself and I’m not sure how long we can keep up if it doesn’t change soon.

Obtaining a license for an independent marijuana dispensary is difficult in my state

Now that marijuana has been legalized in many states, you can find cannabis dispensaries in those states that have made the drug legal.

  • However, there are still some states that only approved marijuana for medicinal purposes, which means recreational use of the drug is still illegal.

With that said. I currently reside in a state where recreational cannabis is still illegal and though medical marijuana is widely used throughout the state, it is difficult to open an independent marijuana dispensary in my town. In fact, the requirements for obtaining an independent marijuana dispensary license are strict beyond measure and the agency responsible for issuing these licenses only approves a few new dispensaries per year. Some of the requirements include posting a multi-million-dollar bond, being registered to do business for a set number of years, as well as having the financial backing to operate the dispensary. So, the chances of getting an independent license are very slim due to the strict requirements. The good news is, there is an option for folks who would like to invest in a marijuana dispensary. There are franchising opportunities available in my state. And most of the marijuana dispensaries in the state that I live in are franchises of larger backed licensed marijuana companies. Perhaps in the future the restrictions will be lifted to acquire an independent license from the state that I live in. But who knows when that will be as medicinal marijuana has been legal for over 5 years now and no real changes have been made to the licensing laws since then. In my opinion, those strict restrictions need to be loosened for folks interested in tapping into this market.

I use recreational marijuana to alleviate my chronic back pain

For the last 10 years, I have suffered from chronic back pains.

  • The pain was a result of a horrible accident that I had when I fell off a ladder and landed on my tailbone.

Over the years, I have seen many specialists to try to alleviate the pain, not to mention the sea of pharmaceutical drugs that I have taken as well. A couple years ago, I was ready to give up on the chronic pain and just accept it as part of my regular life, that was until my chiropractor suggested that I use recreational marijuana for the pain. I have tried some holistic therapy before, but I found no real relief. The only thing that helped a bit was acupuncture, but it only helped me temporarily. So, you can only imagine how desperate I was to find alternative means to treat my chronic back pain. Well, when my doctor suggested recreational marijuana, I was completely open to it. Thankfully, I live in a state where it’s legal to use recreational marijuana as well as medical marijuana. This means, I wouldn’t need to apply for an MMJ card to access the recreational marijuana stores in my area. In fact, the only thing I needed was a valid government ID proving that I was older than 21 years old. Anyway, ever since my doctor suggested the use of recreational marijuana, I have been using it for my chronic back pain, and I can safely say that it has worked so well that I will never use any pharmaceutical drugs again.
