About Our THC Topicals
THC topicals are cannabis-infused balms that you can rub directly onto your skin for targeted relief.
Many customers use them for easing muscle tension, calming inflammation, or nourishing dry, irritated skin.
Here’s what THC topicals are known for:
Pain Relief: Many customers say they help with sore joints, tight muscles, and tension.
Inflammation Reduction: THC and CBD are shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, making topicals a go-to for flare-ups, redness, or post-workout recovery.
Skin Support: Many are made with clean, soothing ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, or essential oils for hydration and skin repair.
At Stoops NYC, we only carry topicals from brands that take testing, transparency, and quality seriously.
Cannabis Topicals FAQs
How do I choose the right Cannabis Topicals for my needs?
Cannabis topicals come in diverse textures and cannabinoid ratios to find the perfect balance for your unique needs. Conducting thorough research on the products you’re contemplating is essential to determine if the ingredients, cannabinoid content, and texture align with your preferences.
In general, CBD topicals are often recommended for addressing inflammation-related discomfort and pain, such as swollen joints or tense shoulders.
On the other hand, THC-rich topicals tend to be more effective for managing episodic pain, like muscle soreness from an intense workout.
Do Cannabis Topicals work for pain?
Yes, cannabis topicals showcase effectiveness in pain relief.
By applying these topicals to the skin, cannabinoids such as CBD and THC engage with local receptors within the body’s endocannabinoid system, delivering targeted relief for pain and inflammation.
It’s important to note that individual responses and the intensity of pain can influence outcomes.
When first using Cannabis Topicals, how big of a dose should I use?
For most topicals, a nickel-sized amount is typically recommended for the initial application, with a suggested wait time of 30 minutes before considering reapplication if desired effects are not promptly felt. This rule of thumb is effective, given that a small amount of cannabis topical can efficiently cover larger areas like arms and legs.
We recommend adjusting the amount of topical you use based on the surface area it needs to cover.
Start with a nickel-sized amount, and adjust as needed for optimal results.
How long do the effects of Cannabis Topicals last?
The typical efficacy window for topicals spans approximately 2-4 hours, contingent upon the cannabinoid concentration within the topical product. Higher concentrations often result in an extended duration of efficacy.
One key advantage of topicals is their gradual dosing capability, allowing users to apply and reapply as needed throughout the day for sustained relief.
Explore the nuanced benefits of topicals and tailor your application to meet your specific needs, ensuring a seamless and personalized cannabis experience.
What are some of the supporting ingredients in Cannabis Topicals?
Balm-based topicals are frequently crafted with a blend of beeswax and coconut oil, while lotions may incorporate vitamin E oil and shea butter.
Additionally, various botanicals and plants such as peppermint, tea tree, eucalyptus, lavender, lemon, and jojoba oil are commonly used in topicals.
These carefully chosen bases and supporting ingredients are selected for their inherent skincare benefits, contributing to the holistic and nurturing properties of cannabis-infused topicals.
Will Cannabis Topicals make me feel high?
Genuine topicals won’t induce a psychoactive high, as they exclusively target the first few layers of the skin, engaging with cannabinoid receptors in these skin layers.
While some topicals are formulated to be transdermal, facilitating the passage of cannabinoids through the skin into the bloodstream, the majority of cannabis topicals from licensed producers are crafted solely for topical pain relief. This ensures that using these topicals won’t elicit a psychoactive high, as cannabinoids must enter the bloodstream, reach the brain, and bind with specific receptors to trigger a cerebral response.
